I’m thinking that I should annotate every single minute of a day. Maybe. I could spend the day noting down everything I did as I did it, and carry a digicam with me. Then for all the bits that I missed, I could (perhaps) go and reconstruct it afterwards. I could record all my conversations onto MD and then plug it in the back of my Mac and see if I could rip MP3s from it. So you could hear what kind of funny things people get up to in my world. I may sound like I’m taking the piss, but I’m honestly not. The whole thing sounds like an excellent project. [inspired indirectly by the awesome dinnerblog‘s reconstruction of the meal I went to the other night. And before anyone asks, no this is not a dig. I think it’s really cool.]

Because I’m a sad sad man: Buffy and Angel spoilers and news: Who might be Angel’s nemesis this year?, Buffy’s Musical episode and … Eddie Izzard?. Need I say more?

I’m getting very bored with discussions about meetings about issues in my house. I just want to be left alone to get on with things. I’m very easy to please really.

I have a strange relationship to temping. Or perhaps it’s not strange at all. I’m doing some freelance work for a friend at the moment so I may be occupied most of the time, but the prospect of the money from two days temping still appeals to me. What doesn’t appeal is actually doing the temping, which appalls me beyond the counting of it. So I get a phone call from the temp company and I vacillate and I sound really torn on the phone, then they go away to check something and I don’t hear back from them.

Tired. Hot. Irritable.

Last night I went for dinner at Meg, Luke and Davo‘s Big Blogger household. Davo cooked a quite delicious salmon dish in the dishwasher. Don’t ask. Also in attendance: Mo Morgan, Paul Digitaltrickery, Ralph and Catherine. Funniest moment? Partial game of Articulate.

Via Darren, the Link Machine, comes an article on joint mortgages between friends, which I have to say had never even entered my head before now.

Dave Winer goes into details about the new Blogger API in an article called Connecting with Blogger. I’m not entirely sure I understand why this is such a revolutionary step forward, but I would like to know. Can someone explain it to me?

“Well I’m down on my knees again, And I pray to the only one, Who has the strength, To bear the pain, To forgive all the things that I’ve done. Oh yeah, Lead me into your darkness, When this world is trying it’s hardest, To leave me unimpressed, Just one caress, From you and I’m blessed. I have to believe that sin, Can make a better man, It’s the mood that I am in, That’s left us back where we began.”

Entertaining Ralph for a the last week and a bit has been extremely entertaining, but has left me hopelessly behind on the working front. I have a huge block of stuff to get done by four this afternoon. Huge.
