Just a quick update to say I'm still alive.
I submitted a music video as an application for the Best Job In The World but after two days I'm still waiting for confirmation that it's been approved and accepted *bites nails*
I'm off to Derby for five days to play board games and get drunk with some friends. I am *soo* looking forward to it......

5 days! Awesome have a great time, and good luck with the video.
At Christmas I came to the decision that I'm not happy with my life. Not that I'm not a postive thinker - far from it in fact. It's just that for quite some time now I've been stuck in a rut - grinding away at a job that is not fulfilling and only marginally interesting mostly to pay for a house that too expensive really...

I can't believe there is someone else out there who likes Generation Kill and lives in the UK! I love that book.
Do you know what your novels are going to be about?

I'd def recommend reading the book. There's a lot more going on in there than they could fit into 7 episodes. I think I know what you mean about writing, I have loads of ideas running around my head but as soon as I try to put them down on paper, I get writers block.
Frak. Me.

That's what I thought but I think his wierd internal monologue keeps it interesting.
Well a lot of people have been posting retrospectives of the year so I guess I should have a stab at it. Unfortunately 2008 for me has been somewhat bland. I'm struggling to remember where all the time went, or what I've achieved. To prevent me from rambling here are some bullet points:

- Cloverfield
- Battlestar Galactica season 4

It's 5am and I'm sitting here nursing my e-mail while our flaky developers in the Ukraine upgrade our servers. Such is the life of a techie trying to earn brownie points *sighs*

I believe it's the way forward but I reserve the right to change my mind after the day
Nah, I think it's gonna be ok, it is my choice and I stand by it
I will be seeing them all at some point over the Christmas break, but when I want to, not when it is dictated.
Hope you're going to have a good one hon.

So. The credit crunch looms ominously. I've been treading water for quite a while now financially and have been in effective denial regarding the size of my credit card bill, but things hit home two weeks ago when the CEO of our little company gathered us together to say, basically:
"Sorry guys, all that positive stuff we told you at the beginning of the summer...

Cheers bud, I think I will.

Haha, no... it's therapy based on the key existential givens - that life is essentially meaningless (we create our own), that we are ultimately alone, that we are ultimately free and that the only thing we can be certain of is that we will die.
So I went to Prague for five days. Lovely place, nice beer, nice people, lots of interesting stuff to see. I've loaded a ton of pics to my folders if you want to go see. Staying up until 4am every morning drinking and playing cards did take its toll however and its taken me most of this week to recover. I've also been snowed under...

Haha, not at all - it's cheaper than London! And you're neighbours are all sheep

Yep- hopefully will get back in SGUK soon! I'm in town quite a lot with work so must catch up with everyone x
FAQ time! 
Err, so like who the hell are you dude?
I'm the guy that you've probably met at several SGUK meets but either you never found out my name or just plain forgot. I shouldn't worry, I'm terrible with names myself. If I've met you and haven't friended you yet, then this will be why. It's nothing personal, I'm just rubbish.
I've also recently...

He did go for an audition. He didn't get the part because his take on it was "too dark". I wish it was on tape, I'd kill to see it.
elysia:
I've actually not watched Severance in ages, but the trailer for it came up on another film that I was watching (Thank you for smoking), and I realised that I'd never used that line despite its obvious awesomeness. It has to be said though, that as a film it was a little confusing as to what it was meant to be - disturbing slasher flick? Brit com? It turned out to have aspects of each but failed at both in my opinion.
Agreed about serial daters. I'm by no means the most secure person on the planet, and maybe it's born from my own misanthropic loner lifestyle, but I've never felt the need to define myself by my relations with others, and that's almost what these people seem to need.
