So after dinner earlier..

This is what I just went to the shop and brought home.

In the picture – Super Noodles, a copy of this month’s FHM magazine, some chocolate milk, a chocolate brownie sundae, 2 half-baguettes, and a 4 pack of chocolate chip cookies!  – DELICIOUS!!

And yes – I am a pig and will eat it all tonight!!

Today some of the things I managed to conveniently miss out were a pizza and a chocolate fudge sundae.  Mmmm!!

Anyway, today like yesterday was just another average day in the office.  Nothing bad, certainly nothing good either..  I was supposed to go to the gym and go ‘spinning‘ but I was still aching from my 30 minutes of intense running on Monday.  I think it’s normal though for me as I hadn’t been to the gym in months!

I went round to my friend’s flat tonight and had a little chillout, chatted about the world and life in general..  It’s surprising how much conversation can take place in one night!!

Well, tomorrow I intend to get myself to the gym for sure!  Ok, I intend doesn’t mean I will..  But I will at least try!

Another choc for breakfast.. I really need to kick this habit!

Couldn't resist!

Lunch! Reasonable?

The sushi was OK, but not that great to be honest.  I wish I worked near a Nandos restaurant, because I’d be there EVERY day!

Midnight snack! It's smoked mackerel stir-fried with some pasta and veggies. Nice!

Ahh my video of today has got to be this one..  I had to listen to it about 3 times when I first heard it – it sounds so cool!  I want a guitar right NOW.

The sun is out - but can you see the frost? Brrrrr, COLD!

Well anyway, it did get a little warmer..  Just not as warm as I’d have liked it to.  My day was alright I guess..  Nothing untoward, but I was a little tired as I went to sleep at about 3.30am!  As it’s nearly midnight now and I am here writing this whilst watching Two and a Half Men, I can’t help but think I won’t make it to bed till the same time again tonight.

Ahh well..

the munchies I managed to photograph today:

I never manage to get breakfast during the week, so I had to starve until break time.  I have given up coffee for lent, so replaced it with something with a higher sugar content (oops!)..

Hot chocolate and a flapjack at break time.. I am so hungry by 11am!

My SECOND doughnut!

I had THE SAME lunch today as yesterday..  Only I forgot to capture the Thai chicken wrap.  Mmm, it was tasty though..

Chicken sandwich - same as yesterday!

Can of Coke for an afternoon sugar/caffeine blast!

I saw somethig unusual on the way out of work today..  A random shoe in the car park

Anyone seen my other shoe?

I went to the cinema tonight to see From Paris With Love.  Such a cool film!  Great to see John Travolta in this fast moving film!  So many one liners to take away from this film

Cinema tonight!

Coke and popcorn - I'm ready for the movie.

See you tomorrow!

I am going to start the slow process of changing this blog more into a ‘proper’ blog, with personal notes, photos and a more diary-like feel..

Here you go with the only two photos I took of my daily food today..  I also ate a sneaky chocolate bar and fruit cake which conveniently didn’t get pictured :-p

My lunch today. It's not as much as I'd normally like but people still comment on it being a lot! Home food is much better though.

Dinner tonight was some sort of fish stir-fry, rice and some plantain conjoured up by my mum. Tasted GEAT! My mum is no witch, just a good cook Oh and it was washed down by a strange but tasty 'banana and apple' juice. Mmmmm

By the way, I quit my old private gym a couple weeks ago and today started going to a local COUNCIL gym scheme!!  This means I can go to any of the city council gyms in Nottingham, but..  Oh my..  Oh my..  the difference was startling to say the least!  This was all part of a little plot to save some cash, but I regret doing it now!  If I didn’t feel motivated to go to the gym before, then now, I REALLY won’t feel motivated!  The gyms are so so so small and don’t let me get started with the ‘type’ of people that use them!!  Well, me of course hahah!  No comment there…

I’ll be back at the private gym in no time I think!

Before heading off to bed I had a late night snack whilst watching a foreign language movie set in Romania called ‘4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days‘..  An interesting little film about a girl helping her friend get an abortion.  Not bad, not bad. Anyway, I had a hot chocolate and felt guilty about the absense of any fruit today.  So I decided a banana was the way forward

That phone to the side is my OLD OLD Sony Ericsson that I am having to use since breaking my iPhone.. darn.

Hot Chocolate. All milk, no water! Just the way I like it

Oh yea, I went out at the weekend with some friends and we got some food then too!  Check out our dinner at this Italian restaurant   Recommend it for sure!

Until next time! 

I’ve just been to see Solomon Kane at the cinema and thought it was a great film!  I hadn’t seen the trailer before seeing it so I went there with no expectations.  The poster was a slight clue as to what it might be about, but I am definitely glad I gave this one a chance.

I won’t go spoiling the plot, but if you like any ‘Olde English’ type movies, then this is a must see!  Also anyone who likes sword fighting, because there was a whole lot of that!  Check out the trailer, or see a full review on IMDB.

The next major film I look forward to is Shutter Island starring Leonardo DiCaprio!  The trailer for it looks seriously good

Obviously there is no definitive way to do this and it will come out differently for different people – but this is how my family does it enjoy!

Another long video eh!? Watch in HD for better eyes!

I think the reason it’s so good is because the photos  tell a story – they’re not just random shots strung together.  They have been taken in pretty quick succession and make it look almost like a ’stop-motion’ video.  I loved it, hope you do too.

From the YouTube channel

When I got home from a recent road trip to San Francisco, I realized that all the images I shot from the car and while walking around the city made a great little narrative about our trip. So, I strung each of the 1437 images (18 gigabytes of raw files) together to make this video. Since I had plenty of memory cards with me, I didn’t have to delete a single image.

So how have I managed life without it?  Well, with major boredom!

I hate not having a proper up-to-date smart phone.  The one I am using is a Sony Ericsson phone I got back in 2006/7 and it is awful!!

I am now considering my options about which phone to get next.  There is the Google Nexus One, with a price tag of $529..  Or I could get the current iPhone 3GS on the ‘non contract’ tariff for £449 ($700)..  Nexus One looks like the winner in that battle!  But I did LOVE the iPhone when I had it..  Damn, why did it have to break!?

One thing I will say – Apple is so likely to replace the 3GS with a newer model this summer, I feel almost like if I buy a 3GS now, it’s only gonna become ‘old’ in June when Apple announces it’s replacement.  Whereas Google has only just released the Nexus so it’s more likely to be around a little longer?  Maybe Google will have more investment in features and add-ons for their new device?

So, I need to decide..  I think I’ll wait about a month or so before splashing out.  But when I do – I’ll be buying a GOOD CASE!!  I don’t think I could handle another accident with such an expensive device :’(

So, I promise it’ll be back!  I just need to figure out whether I am going to take my proper camera with me everywhere, or invest in another phone..  Choices choices.

In case you wonder what happened to my iPhone – See the video above and you’ll see

It makes me very sad!

That is the face of an ANGRY ginger haired kid..

Apparently, people have been making fun of him at school, which of course is not nice..  BUT – his reaction below is somewhat dramatic I would say!!

Also check his response video after he started to get ‘hater’ comments..  Poor guy..
