This will probably be the last of the nice weather - these things are never meant to last, and around these parts, they never do. "Hot and sunny", says the forecast - yeah, hot and sunny for bloody South-East Englandshire, not the rest of us mere mortals...

I have no idea what is "planned" for this weekend, except for more hints that my overflow of stuff needs addressed. That it does, I freely admit - see Mission 101 Task 53
53 - Deal with my "overflow" of crap
- but every time it could be being dealt with, there seems to be some other essential task that drags on and on. I wonder how much of the next two days will actually get used for something constructive - and if I was to take a week off, just to "decompress", how much of that would be messed up? I actually haven't had an extended weekend since The Move - dare I try it...?

And could I used one of those days to deal with some other Tasks? I'm pretty sure I can get myself a *SCORE* on Task 73
73 - See a binturong in the flesh
All that needs is a few non-wet, non-windy days in a row--

Guess that's that plan knackered then.

Elsewhat... Well, that's it - we sold the car, that brave little Thunderbird 2 wannabe that worked so damn hard on "Lock The Door Day". It was just sitting parked, getting rained on - now, it becomes a friend's first wheels. Hooray!

Thinking of adjourning to the bedroom. It'll be a whole lot cooler there. Pity my entertainment options just got buggered AGAIN as the laptop reminds me again of its unresolved "reboot allergy" - another piece of business left undone in the weekend maelstrom.

Still... Doctor Who finale tomorrow, and a chance to watch Star Trek in HD on Sunday. Wheeeee...!

There, there - it's not so bad.

Posting just before Doctor Who again, 'cause I'm buggered if I know when else I'll get the chance. Yes, it's been another Bloody Saturday, with the "main event" being not only delayed until afternoon (AGAIN) and being hardly the intensive effort I'd expected (AGAIN) - it's like the whole tidying and sorting effort is being strung out as far as it will go just to fuck up as many Saturdays as possible. Today, there was "external interference" of the nephew variety, but still I found myself getting wound up come lunchtime.

I really can do without this. Do I have to grab all the stuff that's downstairs, and pack it into the office, rendering that room useless, just so I can have my Saturdays back? It's a pretty steep price to pay for a completed Mission 101 Task (53)...

I feel the urge to get away. Unfortunately, anything fun requires a long road journey, eating up at least half the day - but hey, half a day gets chewed up and spat out anyway! Next week is the Doctor Who season finale, so I may just head to Edinburgh the Saturday after, and try and polish off a Task or two at the Zoo - oh, and pretty soon, I may be booking my Patent Saturday jaunt, whatever the cost.

All was not lost, however. I have reached the end of the latest "work in progress", and posting should commence within the week. Just as long as I'm not screwed around too much.

Move News... Well, that's 55 video tapes binned as part of pre-Move operations - I hardly need taped seasons of Babylon 5 when I have the whole thing on DVD. I don't want to retain too much, only those films and shows that aren't available in some kind of collected format, and which I don't already have in said format, or plan to acquire soon.

The purge isn't done, not by any stretch of the imagination, but I can count Mission Task 53
53 - Deal with my "overspill" of crap
well and truly under way. About time too.

Just hope I've done enough to get a whole Sunday sans hassle. Still not quite a "me weekend", but closer, ever closer...

Meanwhile...


Say hello to my leetle friend...

Yeah, this is the new Notebook of Awesome +4, the photo intentionally taken using the netbook webcam to avoid any spoilers for TDD-609 ...Second Movement. Writing has been carried out today - admittedly not very much - and I'm expecting more later today. At this rate, there could be something to post this time next week!

Today's Highlights... The start of the Six Nations Rugby (France and Scotland right now), and the final episode of this segment of Primeval - will we be getting some answers, and perhaps some excitement...?
