05.04.99 - Charlie Big Potato

I didn't go to bed until 2am because I was farting around online and chatting to people. I haven't done that in quite a while though so I didn't feel too bad about it and for some strange reason I have felt slightly drawn back to the computer lately. I was reading Tiffany's journal earlier before I went out shopping and it stirred a somewhat creative energy within me that needs to get out. Her journal is very unique in its style and it seems to show more of a 'real' Tiffany than I have known in the past. I'm an advocate for creative expression in whatever form and I must say that I like this latest incarnation of her talents.

I bought the latest Skunk Anansie album the other day and I was thrilled to find out that it had an "interactive element" on the CD. Unfortunately my piss poor computer really struggled with some Java it contained and gave up the first time but second time around it did ok and I got to see the video for their first single "Charlie Big Potato" on it. Cool or what!? There were a few interview bits and pieces too that I didn't find all that interesting but it made think about just how technology seems to move on and how it always seems to move on very quietly so that we hardly notice. It wasn't that long ago when CDs were an amazing technological advance in themselves but now they have music and software on them all rolled into one. It doesn't take much to please me does it? Hehe.

The Easter weekend was quite nice and relaxing. I got to see my family and on the Saturday we went out to one of those "all you can eat" Chinese restaurants. God, I just can't tell you how fantastic the food is there and I almost wish I could go there every day but I am sure my stomach would complain after a while. We sat and watched the film "Contact" that was being premiered on one of the SKY channels and then one by one we sloped off to our respective beds. Sunday was a lazy day for me as my poor Mum slaved away in the kitchen making us all a roast beef dinner and I can honestly say that I have not eaten so much in weeks. It's a wonder I did not leave home as fat as a ...err...... fat thing. Oh that reminds me of the joke my sister told me... "Why can't men get BSE?" Answer: Because they are all pigs! Hmmmmm.... well I know that most of my readers are female so I'm sure someone will appreciate it.

I have a busy week planned and I feel tired just at the thought of it. I am going out for drinks with people from work on Thursday and then on Friday I have my old school friend coming over who will stay overnight and then hang around for as long as he feels on Saturday probably. I put off meeting another friend this weekend because of all this and now he wants to meet up on Wednesday instead so it looks as though Tuesday will be the only day I have to myself! I was going to arrange a date with someone this weekend as well but it looks as though I will have to put that off until next week. I just hope it doesn't give out the wrong signal. I would probably be too tired for dating anyway I guess! There was a time when I thought that my life was too boring and I never went out and now that I am moderately busy I can appreciate how much hard work it is. I just can't imagine how my flatmate copes because he is out almost every night!

Well, I felt all creative and in the mood for a journal entry earlier but now that I have written it the darn thing reads like paragraphs of drivel. Maybe my mind is distracted by the thought of all the ironing I have to do... in which case I shall go and do it now.
