17.3% the way through the year already! Where did that third of a percent go?
Slightly overcast this morning, but the outlook is good.

Not really sure what the weather was doing here today. Didn't get much of a chance to notice. Today has kept me rather busy at work, so I shambled out at five planning to be home a little earlier than usual. Shame that all the trains were cancelled until further notice eh? So it was down to the bus-stop and onto the bus for me, stretching my journey home from an hour to two hours.
So I figured I was due a half hours peace to myself, so I settled down to have my dinner and watch an episode of Eureka 7. Shame I had managed twenty minutes before there was a loud bang from the outside wall of the house. For some reason the some of the local teenagers have decided that when they pass my house they are going to throw an orange/tangerine/tomato/whatever fruit they have to hand at my living room window. It happens on average two - three times a week. I'm starting to get resigned to it but it did rather put the capper on a day that has not gone terribly well.
I'm inclined to write Monday off on the assumption that Tuesday has to be an improvement.....

I did a group assignment for Digital class today about the relationship of Art and Science in Digital Cinema. Went across well, although I missed and forgot about a things I wanted to say and also did'nt get time to play the custom Transformers Movie clip I edited. That's one Uni assignment done and dusted though.
Went to ASDA to store up for the week. Tried to look out for a cheapo copy of Tron, but no cigar. Off to Play.com then!
An evening of drawing shall commence.

I'm losing track of the days again. I had no idea it was Monday for most of the day.
Tomorrow afternoon, I am due to be summoned to the Job Centre for a meeting. If they are not happy with my efforts to get a job, my benefit will be cut or axed. I am somewhat anxious.

A quiet day so far, Jude came round a bit before work and then I've been slowly getting some of the AA mag innards sorted and brainstorming with the other editorial chaps.
Not a lot tangible work done but a hell of a lot of progress.

idiot boy here left his spare keyboard and adaptor in London. So until the new PS2 -> USB adaptor arrived and I can get the keyboard off the desktop (which is in the room Liz sleeps in) I'm gonna be a bit quiet.

If you wish not to turn into a prune, then follow my step-by-step advice, as approved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Becoming a Prune in the Bath (RSPBPB).
* Take an alarm clock into the bathroom with you and set it to wake you up twenty minutes after initial submergation
* Bathe in dry ice
* Take a shower. WARNING: Falling asleep in the shower, though rare, can result in a nasty head injury, unconsciousness, and paramedics seeing your Chess Pieces
* For safer bathing, the RSPBPB recommends a depth of 12 cm
* Only bathe during daylight hours

Currently, I have £10.41 to live off of until a week on Friday. Hopefully, my benefit won't get cut this afternoon.

Its for a non-profit use and I'm not squatting it... :v I imagine you'd get into a lot of trouble for this is Paramount's solicitors saw it. It's a trade mark after all and you're not allowed to use existing trade marks for domain names. But, you have to ask yourself, would they be bothered enough to chase you down and sue you? It might also be too much bad publicity too close to the film's release. Plus, you're a fan using the name, not some company selling bootleg ROTF sanitary products or somesuch. Although, I would have thought they'd have snapped that particular domain name up long ago!

I did it more because I /could/ than any real reason.
Oh christ sake, theriseofcobra.co.uk hasn't been registered either. DARE I go for the hat trick?
I imagine the worst that can happen is that I'd be forced to sell it for what I paid to Paramount (he says!)

Saying that, there's a site at www.transformersthemovie.co.uk that has been there forever, so maybe I dont need to worry about being dragged out behind the chemical sheds. Now I have these though, what shall I do with them (if not just link to my normal site)

You should just put a big black scary banner at each site which says : 'BATMAN CAUGHT YOU LOOKING'.
