Updatey update of updatiness
Actually, I've not got much to report at the moment.
Work is proving quite busy. I had two big meetings in London last week and I've got another one tomorrow - all of which are eating into the time I've got to do "proper" work, and they all seem to generate a huge list of action points with my name next to them. Still, I got my pay rise today, which makes me a whole £49.64 a month better off. Woo! I should make the most of this one, since Gordon Brown ("texture like sun") has decided to keep all public sector pay rises well below inflation from now on.
The small elite group of us down t'pub on Friday concluded there was nothing happening over the weekend just gone, and it did indeed turn out to be the case. I'm not really sure where the weekend went to. (Though I suppose reading 300+ pages of Eragon might have had something to do with it...)
Since my diary is looking similarly blank this coming weekend, I fancy a day at the movies (again!). How about spending Saturday watching Cars at 11:20, followed by lunch somewhere, then My Super Ex-Girlfriend at 15:40? Any takers? The times are only suggestions; I'm happy to move them if folks have other preferences.
There are still two outstanding quotes from last week's movies meme:
4) "If history has taught me anything, it's that you can kill anybody."
16) "I'll tell you something about your famous future: Every day I wake up, it's still the present. The same grimy, boring present. I don't think this 'future' thing exists."
Clues - other lines from the same films:
4) "Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."
16) "An intelligent guard? Didn't see that one coming."
