a note for first-timers

If it's your first time here and you're new to blogs, the first post you'll see is the most recent so that's where you should be ending, rather than starting. Otherwise, carry on...

Please, feel free to comment - you know you want to.

Yes, that means I now have a tree. Hurrah!

I bought one last night on the way home from work. There was a proper Christmas shop in the Bentalls Centre in Kingston so I bought that and also popped into GAME to get myself a new Gamecube adventure. I bought Beyond Good and Evil (God knows but it says it was runner up for Best Adventure Game of 2003 on the back) and also a second controller so I can kick some buttocks on Mario Kart when my cousins are round for Christmas Day.

Sorry, H - I was supposed to post here last night, wasn't I? I apologise. I'm sure your morning's been ruined by not having anything interesting to read. Hmmmm... I guess I'm not really helping too much with this post either.

I tried calling my lady friend last night but she was unfortunately unavailable so I've been suffering from withdrawal symptoms since about midnight - and no amount of Coke seems to be helping. I've run out of Coke now actually. I may have to pop to the shops and get some more. The real stuff, not that Diet shite. But then, if it's not helping, what's the point? *sigh*

I had emails though. Yes, emails. From her. And from others. But from her too! Someone once pointed out to me that this habit I sometimes have of writing short little sentences is reminscent of Hemmingway. I don't know how true that is - because I've not read any Hemmingway - but if anyone has an opinion on that subject, let me know. Thanks. Much appreciated.

Right, time to get on the Gamecube and try out my new game. S - I didn't even go on it yesterday. Not at all. Oh, and I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas this morning when I eventually woke up.

Before I go, I have to make a confession:

The name of the main character in TNBC is actually Jack Skellington and not Jack O'Lantern as I had so adamantly maintained (and been backed up on by a seven-year-old) when S and I were discussing it. She was right. I was wrong. Is compensation due, do you think? And should the seven-year-old be kept back a year at school? All these questions and so little time to find answers and play on the Gamecube. I'll do the latter I think...
