The whole company is having drinks on the company tonight, proper good bar in farringdon, cocktails'n'shit. But I really don't like big crowds so ducked out. I think it sucks that I'm like that, espesh when I used to totally be so awesome at that.
But I'm happy that people have my back at work. And I'm taking Ma' out for her birthday tomo, we're gonna see Les Mis and get a bite to eat. And I have a really nice healthy duck salad for dinner that I've made. And I have a shitload of american sweets. And there are lots of good things in my life and I'm not particuarly waiting for the ball to drop, just enjoying each day.

Whilst the first couple of months of redundancy were quite nice, it soon gets tedious when you're conscious that the money won't last forever... I've been going out to watch nearly every Newcastle match this season as it's about the only chance I get to see some different faces.

It's mainly lovely with some lively areas, like all places. I recommend chilling on the Downs if the weather is nice. Blaise Castle is also lovely for walks. The Olive Shed on the waterfront is a great little tapas bar with cool buskers. Loads of great galleries, I like the Arnolfini and M-Shed. DUde there is loads to look at in the centre. If you have anything special you want to do gaz me (or BigBastardBob) and I'll sort you out.

I was on a lads holiday, 15 of us in 'raki, at 17 years old. Had never picked up a book in my life, except for Goosebumps, and that was only to look cool, only read 3 of them all the way through. He was reading some army book, it was a real story, about the guy in "Alpha Two Zero" who saved McNab from "Bravo Two Zero". I knicked the book from him to get to do something instead of reading, and then I started reading it and I was hooked.
From then, I went through ever Andy McNab and Chris Ryan book of the time, with a handful of one-off-writters, by the time I was 20 I had read a few dozen army books, then moved onto other authors like Dean Kontz and Martina Cole and Michael Chricton.
There are only a few books I've read more than once, but these books I've read 4 or 5 times. They're "The Magicians" and "The Magician King" by Lev Grossman, Jurrasic Park + sequal and finally the K-Pax books.

I never got into non-fiction but will read a good bio if it's someone I'm interested in. If you like fantasy writing with a more realistic edge try David Gemmell, bit less serious than GOT but really good. His Greek stuff was great. Troy, and Lion of Macedon series.
