well another day looms and another end of the week. Thank fucking christ. Finally finished texturing the motorcyclists boot, what a pain in the arse that was. So today I shall be making up track textures, which should be rather good fun.
Had a couple o fpints last night in my local. saw a couple of people come in in brightly coloured tshirts with flyers, I started to panick thinking they were charity people (why is it that they aren't even allowed to rattle the money tin on the high street yet they can come and give me a guilt trip while trying to have a pint? Rotten shits) but it turned out that they were on a beer promotion. got a free half of a scottish and newcastle beer (I was drinking kronembourg anyway) and 2 vouchers for a quid off my next 2 pints. so that was quite nice. Made me remember the uproar on the board the other day about scottish and newcastle beers being the beer suppliers of the SoL. If that seriously did concern me I would think it was about time I threw myself down a very deep well. One of the blokes on the next table started to say to the lad how his friend was drinking John Smiths and isn't it awful chemical rubbish. the promotions lad just had a 'rabbit in the headlights' look as he didn't know what to say or do. He was hardly going to turn round and say 'oh aye, fucking dreadful chemical shite that is'. the bloke realised and then became terribly apologetic saying how he was terribly sorry for putting him in that position. I was cringing like a trooper on the next table. the lad just walked off without really saying anything in the end.
Just a week now till my test, still fucking dreading it and I'm terrified that I am going to shit myself at work in the 2 preceeding days while on the laxitives. Not looking forward to the 2 and a half days of starvation beforehand, but hey, I need to lose a pound or two.
I have a lovely weekend planned of doing fuck all (well, excepting worrying myself about my test, that is). The weather is supposed ot be good so I shall be off to my park for a nice read with some strawberries and grapefruit juice. cracking stuff. I don't even think I shall bother with a drink tonight, which is very rare for me, but I just fancy reading a little. Chapter in my book has just covered some of the environmental factors that contributed to the Rwandan genocide. It shocks me to the core every time I read about it, I have read books in the past which have been quite an emotional experience. the things come people went through, seeing their entire familiy butchered and the like, and yet still find the will to carry on. Makes me realise how much I should thank whatever fate or accident ended up with me being born in this country at this time. My problems will always be trivialities compared to what some people have been through in their lives. For all it is horrific reading about these things (I've read a few books on modern human morality) it certainly lends a much needed sense of perspective to my own life and makes me see things with less tired eyes.
Anyway, that's me for now, I shall probably do an update this afternoon when I am dangerously bored, which I'm sure will be riveting for all concerned....
