I haven’t been on the diet for absolutely ages… and sadly it shows! When I first bought Wii Fit a few months ago (just before I moved) I was at 25 BMI at the lowest, now I’ve weighed myself in at 26.16 BMI… that’s just over 13 stone!

Yay! Rachel won! Sure, she sat on the fence a few times but I honestly thought she was one of the most genuine housemates this year! Plus she’s so sweet! And pretty! Congrats to her!
When BB9 started, I thought Mikey would win and I was so sure I was going to place a bet on it! Thankfully I didn’t, as he came in 2nd! I can’t imagine how gutted I’d have felt if I had placed the bet!

With Misty now amongst her kind in gerbil heaven, I needed something to cheer me up a little. Thank goodness I’d come home with a brand new widescreen monitor!
It’s 22″ and works on a resolution of 1680×1050. Niiice! It’s great to have two monitors again. When I borrowed dad’s for a week, I was impressed, but now I’ve got another monitor with a resolution high enough to make your eyes bleed!
Maybe sometime in the future I’ll get another monitor to replace the 19″ inch 4:3 one.

It’s with regret that I have to report that Misty has passed on. She was taken away from us while I was away for the weekend.
When I moved to the Midlands, Misty moved with me and soon settled into her new home, sooner than I did to be honest. She was my prodajay, my friend. She made me feel not quite so alone. Not having a garden to bury her in, I went to the edge of the field behind the flat and buried her by a tree.
She will be sorely missed 🙁

Nope… not a mobile…
…it’s my new home phone. It’s wireless and also supports skype! I’ve been using one that work very kindly donated to me since I moved in (which I’m giving back to them tomorrow). I went through a hell of a lot of trouble trying to get this bloody thing and now I have it! My flat is complete… well, as much as it can be for a single bachelor with his own place who likes his gadgets (not THAT way!).
All in all though, my life is going well. I’m getting out more, my job is nigh-on perfect, I’m learning more songs on my guitar and am still in touch with my friends up North. I’m not getting onto the site that often to post a lot as I’m up to all sorts of stuff. I hope that everything will level out just a teenie bit so I can continue to update these pages.
I have a couple of random rants that I might post on here later, one of which is about video podcasts (which perhaps most geeky UK visitors to this site might agree with).
