CSI: Series 4.

Got through 12 episodes yesterday... that's nine hours. Man, I need to get out more.

Got drunk. Smoked a cigar. Threw up.

Ahhh, fuck...

My new CC came through with a limit of 1500. My digital SLR outfit plan came to 3000+, so I guess that's out of the question for the time being. Couldn't have come at a worse time, as i've been asked to shoot two weddings over the coming year-and-a-bit and wanted to be able to shoot more without worrying about devving costs.

Y'know when you discover something that everyone else probably takes as self-evident, but it still seems new and exciting to you no matter how aware of this fact you are?

What i'm trying to say is... Morgan is hot!

Garden State: Surprisingly good.

I saw the box and made a few assumptions that this was going to be bad, based on the following evidence- 1: Guy I recognise from ad for TV comedy. Bad sign, see any movie starring a male Friends cast member. 2: Natalie Portman. Sorry, if she's not choking on George Lucas' scripts, it's going to be a shitty rom-com....

2005:

Not a bad year, in all. Sometimes I feel like I blinked and missed all the good bits.

I lost a shedload of weight, which was great. There were other personal achievements like getting a shoot published and getting some work in a stock library that were a big boost. Sadly i'm growing more distanced from my friends, and my nine-til-five is badly affecting...

Great.

Christmas Day in Sandwell General Hospital, 'cos some jobsworth can't find my grandmother a portable oxy tank in time for the weekend.

But one of these days i'm going to get drunk and start making passes at SGs, before falling a-over-t into a thorny hedge and waking up in a pool of my own dribble.
