magictreehouseApart from work which is hellish at the minute, things have quietened down for me recently. December's often like that though. There's no theatre to go to because of pantomimes and even music buying is taking a backseat as there aren't any albums being released. Not that this is a bad thing of course. With Xmas to buy for the money's gone to that instead. I'm nearly done actually which is a nice change. I need to find something for my sister of which I have no idea and I need to find maybe two more things for James. I've just found out that there's a Peggle update for the Xbox 360 which would be great. If only you could wrap virtual gifts. Gah. Might try and get Lego Indiana Jones 2 if I can find it for around £20. Hmmm. Anyway, we put our tree up at the weekend. It's looking good although it could do with a bit more tinsel. The lights are always my favourite though so I'm sure I'll cope.
We went to Greg and Rich's flat warming on Saturday. This was good as their flat is around the corner from our house. Most of James' workmates were there which was good. There were lots of other people there too which would have been fine apart from not being introduced to them, so mingling was limited. I didn't really care but still, it might have been nice to meet some new people. So we mostly hung around with Little Bev, Jay, Sarah and Vicky. No bad thing. Their flat is great too. It's lovely and new and with there being three of them it's slightly bigger. It's not much bigger than ours though, just the living room. The party did feel a little like going to a party when you're 17. If it wasn't people making out in the kitchen (get a room!) then it was Big Bev's 'scandal' that Rich and Greg's house mate is bisexual (oh puurlease). But the best bit was when we were leaving. Little Bev and Jay went to get their coats and seemed to disturb some randoms taking drugs in there. Actually, written down it doesn't sound particularly funny but I assure you, seeing poor little Jay going 'please can I get my coat' to some 6ft red-eyed loser was quite funny. It's a house-warming party for fucks sake! But yes, despite my moaning it was fun.
We watched Happy Go Lucky the other night. I was convinced that it'd be right up my street and when it was good it really was up my street. However, I couldn't help but find Poppy incredibly irritating sometimes. She's played brilliantly but she's on the border between annoying and cute. At her worst she sounds like Ricky Gervais. This is never good. There's also no plot so there's not a whole lot of point to it all. Despite all the negativity though, it's still a three out of five affair I think.
We watched the finale of Ugly Betty Season 3 last night, great stuff. I do love it so. I love that it's so ridiculous. I think the fact that the episode was written by the creator showed too. Other than that it's been Medium and lots and lots of Arrested Development. Amazing.
I've just finished my Q Electro-pop special from a few years ago (ordered on back issue) which made for a very good read. I really want to buy a load of 80s Best Ofs now but I shall refrain and stick with the ones I've got!
