Is this better?

Maybe this link will explain a few things…

Graduation Photos Arrive

// December 12th, 2007 // No Comments » // General

Well, they arrived yesterday to be exact. However the stiff envelope they were in was too big for the letterbox. Unsurprisingly a card was slipped through the letterbox telling me to go down to Cannon Park and pick it up in 24 hours time. Errm, Postie… ever heard of a frigging DOORBELL!? I was up at the time stated on the card and I didn’t hear a thing! 😐

Anyway, off I went to the Post Office HQ in town to pick up the photographs, along with a new desktop charger for my N95 (which also connects the phone to the PC, I might add) before going to work. Oh dear god I look AWFUL on them! 😮 Compare myself now to them and I look tubby! I’m glad I started this diet to shed a few pounds!

The only good thing about them was that it showed that I AM taller than my siblings… if I don’t slouch 😛

This last week I’ve lost…

2 lbs!

That’s a whole half a stone already in two weeks! I’m definitely making some progress here.

Shit night

// December 8th, 2007 // No Comments » // General

Well last night was a bust! After a couple of pints in the Hogs Head we went over to Sumo where they play alternative rock, amongst others. The place seemed absolutely massive, and the first few songs were pretty good.

Then the music got worse…

…and worse…

…and worse!

It came to about 1pm and I thought “I can’t be arsed with this” so I left. I stopped for a moment outside Walkabout pondering whether to go in there… but thought “Sod it”, got a parmo and went home.

I didn’t top up my hair in the end. It’s quite turquoise now and looks pretty good. I think the next time I head out I’ll top up my hair colouring then.

Got my phone back!

Yay! I got my phone back today so I’m now back on my N95. The N70 served me well in my time of need, and actually it wasn’t quite so slow as before… once I reflashed the firmware of course! It’s nice having a brand new phone again. The spot of superglue is gone from one corner, a scratch missing from the other, the slider and buttons are stiffer and there’re no scratches on the screen! It’s great!

Something that confused me though. There’s an 8Gb version of the N95 and that has a slightly larger screen and smaller buttons as a result. The plastic cover on the front of my N95 when I took it out of the box was for an 8Gb model. Dunno how that got there. 😐

My hair is still blue! It’s faded a little because I’ve washed it but I think that’s mainly the colour gone from the roots. I’m gonna buy some colour-safe shampoo/conditioner tomorrow to see if it slows down the fading. I don’t want it turning silver by Friday when I’ll be out on the town. Maybe I’ll top it up before I head out, just to be sure.

New hair!

Yup! I did it! Finally I’ve done my hair blue! It’s really meant to be highlights but because I have short hair the colouring bled down to the root. I’m told just the tips will remain after a couple of washes. You like?

Wow! What a start huh!? I’m now just over the 13 stone mark! Got another 25lbs-ish left to lose.

Wish me luck 🙂

Sod’s Law

Just my luck huh? I wait forever for the new N95 firmware to come out and my phone knackers up! For the last day or two it’s been showing “Sim card registration failure” or something along those lines. I wasn’t able to make any calls or anything, yet the phone seemed other wise ok. I tried my Virgin and Orange PAYG sim cards in the phone and they worked fine. However, last night I tried Kev’s o2 sim card and that didn’t work either.

Bewildered, I called O2 and told them about my problem. They said they would check their systems for the status of my account and phone. Later, I got a callback from them… it’s been blacklisted! 😮 (more…)
