I went to see Jim & Maxine’s new flat yesterday which was great. The only flat I’ve ever seen, including my own, that you could walk straight in and live in without having to worry about dodgy paint jobs or questionable wall paper.
The nice visit was only slight skewed by Jim’s infamously grouchy dad, Frank, who asked me why I felt the need to be carrying Baby Mikey. No doubt Frank sees this as woman’s work or something, and as the title says...
I also watched the second series of ‘Spaced’ last night. For a show which I never really thought looked any good it has to be said that it’s one the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Any movie fan would love it for its parodies and homage’s to a wide range of films and Sam Raimi especially.

Shits and Giggles
Michelle and I arrived at Laura and Stoo's yesterday to give her a surprise celebration of her birthday. Stuart had told us to be there at 8:30, which we were, but no one else was.
We had lazily got a taxi to the flat, and when walking to the door I had seen Stoo's head pop out the balcony door but wasn't sure he'd seen us so Michelle rung the buzzer. As soon as she did it she realised that the front door was on the latch. We went inside with the intention of going into the flat only to have Stuart pop out the door and signal for us to wait. As we stood at the door we could hear Laura ask who was at the door and if he'd got it. Stuart replied,
'Oh it probably just people, just, you know having shits and giggles or something.'
To my astonishment Laura seemed to swallow this, the worst excuse I had ever herd in my life, and Stuart soon appeared holding a bin bag.
Laura must have believed that the bin sheds were roughly half a mile away because, in the course of 'taking the bin out', Stoo spoke to us at length and phoned two people who he also spoke to at length and finally returned to the flat
Despite the late comers and Stoo's multiple excuses for going outside, Laura was suitably and pleasantly surprised by everyone's arrival and a good night was had by all.
On a separate note I realised for the first time as I sat between them that Stuarts two best friends are named Mark and Dave. I just thought it was a strange coincidence...

Punch Lock
My paper punch has a lock on it, and I’m wondering what set of circumstances you would want your paper punch to be locked to your paper?
I realise this is my third post of the day but Laura’s off so I’m bored.

Jim, Max and Mikey
On Monday when talking about what was still to come before the end of the year I totally forgot about Jim and Maxine moving into their new flat today and that Maxine’s birthday is tomorrow. Sorry guys I hope you enjoy your first Christmas with the solid and smiling baby Mikey.

Simply Brilliant
After yesterday, when I was crazy busy, I’m back with very little to do so I decide to take a look at Stuart and Laura’s friend Dave’s comic strip journal. Kudos to Dave for his simple but brilliant observations and making me realise the interesting, funny, or just dumb stuff does happen everyday and even the most mundane event can be made interesting. For example, my boss and I are wearing and almost identical shirt and tie much to the amusement of the rest of the office.
Take a gander at his strips www.davidhogg.co.uk/kamikaze/diarystrips to see what I mean for yourself.
Oh and Happy Birthday to Laura. When I told Michelle about she and Stoo’s plans to go ice skating after work she exclaimed ‘In George Square? That’s my dream!’ I think I’d better take her this year (despite the damage that will be done to my arthritic knees and probably my arse which I’ll no doubt end up on).
