Whee! in OD

Wow, thanks for the notes on my previous entry. I’m always worried when I write an entry like that, that people will think I’m being a bit of an arse and just advise me to shut up.

Also thanks to the person who nominated it for readers choice.

Had a fun night last night. Yesterday was payday so me and three friends hit the pub for a random night out and cheap pints. Despite the fact that it was ridiculously cheap, still managed to spend more than I was planning to. Also, had about £2 in 20p pieces in my pocket when I woke up this morning. When you end up with a load of change in your pocket, it’s always the sign of a good night.

Just about recovered from the alternathon, I think. Thus far, I’ve raised £45 (one person couldn’t get to my justgiving page so donated straight to Shelter through their website). It may be more cos someone else said they had problems donating through justgiving and said they’d donate straight to them as well, but I have no idea if they did or not, never mind how much it was.

But £45 isn’t a bad amount of money. I’d have preferred more but never mind. My justgiving page is still active if anyone does want to donate but I’ll probably close it out the beginning of next week.

I also found the ideal job for me today. Editorial assistant for SFX magazine. Get paid to write about sci-fi and fantasy? Where do I sign up? I’d pay them to let me do this job. As part of the application, I have to submit a 400 word review of a TV programme or comic book. I was hoping to use my review of The Beast Below from the last issue of TTZ (available here folks!) but sadly it’s about 200 words too long. I do have my as yet unpublished review of K9 and Company that is within the word count but, seeing as how I recommend that people DON’T watch the show, I’m not sure that would be appropriate.

Which means that I’m going to have to watch a sci-fi TV show and write a review. Which I’m absolutely gutted about. [/sarcasm]

Pics!

I went out on Wednesday and got a load of pics of two different things. Here’s the first one.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. One of the great things about living in Boro is the completely random things you may see. Like this in one of the shopping centres:

It was to promote the Billingham International Folklore Festival. And tomorrow, if you’re all good little boys and girls, I’ll let you see some dinosaurs.

Hope everyone’s having a good day.
