Yup, some good news to get back in the blogging mindset... Putteridge High won its fifth (count them) game in a row. Fifth! How could such a thing happen? What's more, we won (6-4) against a team that last time thrashed us soundly (something lots-something not), and who are in fact second overall in the league. So we've obviously sorted at least some of our shit out in the last couple of months. Unfortunately, owing to a slow start to the season, we haven't made it into the finals. Bugger.
Still, that just means we have a bye next week and so can go bomb the history department's postgrads back into the stoneage, using nothing but paintball guns, superior hand-eye coordination, the cool hand signals that the ex-army dude in the honours class pasted on the wall, and our almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Mmmm, paintball.
Other than that, not much to report (is there ever anything much?) except maybe to say that the germination rate for most things (sunflowers, basil, courgettes) is good, and that it's really just the hold out tomatoes (san marzano) that need to hurry their act up on our windowsill. Oh, and that 28 Days Later was somewhat of a disappointment (the main guy's a dick, meaning that you spend half the time just hoping that some stray zombie will eat his brains and put the audience out of its misery), which I hope is not a similar problem for Kill Bill (shouldn't be - Uma Thurman with a sword? The movie writes itself...). Speaking of which, you should all find yourself a copy of "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Hotei Tomoyasu - it's the funky music in the Kill Bill trailer which unfortunately isn't on the soundtrack, and the name alone makes it worth getting this track.
Finally met the crazy Irish girls on Friday night. True to reports, they do appear to be somewhat mad (in a cool way), but all in all I think our own Charlie leaves their madness far, far behind. Seeing Charlie and Fi dancing at Micky Finn's the other night was a sight to behold indeed. The other punters had to duck for cover as these two drunken specimens lept madly about the dancefloor, much to the amusement of the covers band, arms flailing and heads banging. A good time was had by all, including random married lady who joined in the dancing fun...
...Which all means that I've managed to make it two full weeks (*gasp* A fortnight! I hear you cry) without getting way, way too drunk and doing something silly or missing my guitar lesson the next day or anything. I have somewhat of an intuit (is this in anyway an actual word, and if so right use of said word?) this will be coming to an end on Friday. Roll on the Stein, roll on the red t-shirts, roll on the next day of lying around the living room watching Ben and Charlie once again battle the Covenant hordes or the might of the Flood.
Ooo, Mum's book comes out in a month or so, so stay tuned - it's damned funky and a perfect Christmas present for practically every member of the family! Oh yeah.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Hopefully see you after the stein otherwise for large screen action.
