Rant! Rave! Complain!

I HATE password resets. Fucking twitter has locked me out as too many failed login attempts. Well the thing is, I type in the right username AND password and it still won't recognise it! I reset the stupid passowrd once already, not relishing doing it again, arghhhh!

And it's 7.30am on Saturday and I have been up for an hour already, I mean that's just not normal at all...
Hubby still sleeping, so may spend the morning wisely playing Sims...*smirk*

So there.

Sorry it's been too long

I know, shameful that it's taken me three weeks to get back in this - sorreee!

So...what exciting things have I gotten into? Not an awful lot.
Finished my Supernatural(*sniff*)but discovered that there are still some episodes left of s4 on TV, so am still getting my fix. But I try not to pay too much attention, cause I want to wait til I have the whole new series at home, but on the other hand, I cannot help myself.



I have made some new friends over at Last.fm, mainly cause of this new band I told you about, Awestruck. They are a bit strange, not in any kind of a bad way, but it takes more than one listen to get one's head around them. They are beginning to grow on me, will report back later with stats!

I've seen a few films since the last time we spoke, firstly I saw Monsters vs Aliens. It was HILARIOUS! Visually stunning, of course, but I just loved all the gags and stuff, I haven't laughed that much in a while.
What else... oh, also saw Happy Feet, you know the penguin movie. It was soo cute, very heartwarming and just lovely, I would recommend it to anyone.

And then, we went to see Wolverine. I was really looking forward to it, cause I quite liked the X-men movies. I wasn't disappointed, it was spectacular. I can see why the critics' comments were somewhat negative, I mean it's not going to make cinematic history, the story was maybe a little forced and it dragged a bit between the action scenes - but what action scenes they were! I liked the Gambler guy, though it was never really clear to me whether he will become a permanent fixture in the x-men universe later or if he's just a one-off guy. And, c'mon, any movie that features Hugh Jackman half-clad the entire movie, gotta be good!
Going to see Star Trek in two weeks' time, can hardly wait for that - trying not to read any reviews on it so as not to spoil it.




Got my first glimpse of Final Fantasy XIII the other day - oooooohhh! It's released in Japan in December, so at the moment the UK launch date is in January 2010 - I so will be first in line to buy it! For me, it will justify the buying of the PS3, otherwise it's just a very expensive DVD player...

Only three episodes left!

...on my Supernatural collection. Then I have to wait til much later in the year before I can watch s4 on DVD. And here we are hoping of course that they are going to make s5!
I was watching some interviews on YouTube the other day, it was on some Con or other (forgot) but it was pretty fun. The guys not only work well together, they are very funny individually too. They were happy to share funny anecdotes, like how Jared takes forever to get ready in the morning or how Jensen keeps a straight face while egging his buddy on trying to make him crak.

All in all, very pleasant way to spend an afternoon...only wish I would live somewhere I could go to all these Con's etc. Oh well..*sigh* at least we have the lovely people who take time to video these for us poor souls not able to attend in person :)

Oh.
First day at new job, it's going very well actually. I'm surprised how easy it seems to be to understand what I'm supposed to do - of course this could all be deceptive and I could turn out to be very bad at this - but somehow I don't think so.
The client meeting is tomorrow, excited about that as not only do I get a day out of the office, it's a day out in a difference city! Obviously would have been nice if this would have been somewhere like Edinburgh or Belfast, where we'd had to stay overnight - but Manchester is not so bad.
I have a new desk, new computer etc, and all of us in the team have also moved to a different office. The new guy starts on Wednesday, be interesting to see how he turns out. We are very short on men here, only three in the entire office!!!
