In order to satisfy the demands of my demanding blog readers and podcast listeners, here I am, attempting to update my blog a bit more regularly.. which of course means that you can make the effort too and leave feedback a bit more regularly right? (yeah, right - who am I kidding?!)

Busy day at work today.. we’re meant to be delivering a build to QA tomorrow so it’s all hands on deck to get loose ends tied up.. or is it tidied up? Either way, I was fucking busy and felt a bit stressed with it.. Good day for the most part though.. got lots done.. tested some stuff and was glad when it worked as expected.. worked late.. went to the gym and was the only one there.. came home, vegged and chilled a bit, did a bit of work for “my people in the UK”, sorted out some emails and stuff.. and here I am!

I listened to Wankergirl’s latest podcast today and again it caused me to laugh out (which is always amusing when you’re sitting there in a quiet office working away with your iPod on) (although that said, the office and certain co-workers have been rather loud lately - I find it really distracting when I’m trying to concentrate on something). Last podcast she talked about pooing your pants, this episode she talked about masturbating and how no one talks about it when they start doing it. Funny as fuck - check it out at www.blarmcast.com or search for Blarm on iTunes.

I was chatting with a friend on MSN tonight about his ex and how the guy has a few “issues” (or maybe it’s “Issues” with a big I?). They broke up but have still been seeing each other, hanging out etc.. but mostly winding each other up. He told me about some of stuff that had gone on and some more background info about other stuff and I was kinda stunned with it. It was very “real life” kinda stuff. It puts your own stuff in to perspective when you realise that other people have had it way worse than you ever have. That said though, I think old Friedrich Nietzsche had it right when he said “That which does not kill me, makes me stronger”. You know it’s true, makes sense etc, but when you’re in the depths of feeling low, it’s little consolation.. so *hugs* to the friend whose laundry I won’t air in public - you know it’ll get better over time.

And ending on a positive note - YAY TOMORROW! It’s Wednesday, which means it’s midweek, which means it’s downhill towards the weekend - bring it on!

PS: Has anyone seen any of that American Inventor show? It’s got Simon Cowell on it (harsh British judge off American Idol) but beyond that I don’t know too much. I downloaded a couple of episodes the other day but haven’t gotten round to watching it yet. Thoughts/opinions?

Shawn left this in comments the other day (instead of emailing or MSNing it to me - tsk tsk!) and I figured I’d post it cos it’s nice to share.. The whole site is pretty cool - gives you in-depth instructions on how to make or do a whole plethora of things. Check it out!
