Happy New Year everyone. I can't believe 2005 has just gone by in a blink like that. Quite amazing really. Looking back I can't really say that I've accomplished too much. Just a whole lot of faffing around in the lab etc.... since that's really what monkeys really do, and eventually come out with a PhD after achieving enough faffing over 3 years. (Other than the obviously event of getting engaged to a sexy, intelligent buxom woman I have the huge fortune of managing to con into marrying me.)
Been doing a huge amount of shopping between Boxing Day and New Year's Day, before I proceeded to do more faffing around in the lab again this week. Recently got my hands on the 2 N.E.R.D albums and the Led Zeppelin discography, so the brainpan has pretty much been inflicted with a weird mish mash of Pharrell and Jimmy Page lately.
Purchases over the chaotic Boxing Sales period
5 pink ties for the wedding (1 for me, 1 for Dad, 3 for the groomsmen)
Bally shoes (also for the wedding)
Reiss trousers
Sweater
4 Tops (Mummy, Daddy, Sis and wife)
This concerted effort at shopping for others (mainly) has left me totally exhausted, and a lasting aversion to crowds and the odour of humanity.
Had a small party at my place for New Year's eve. Since I moved into my new south facing room on the 7 floor with a balcony and no nearby buildings obscuring the view, I surmised that the unobstructed view would be great for a New Year's party, well, more like gathering. So basically we just sat round and got pissed, watching Marv dismember Mr Frodo on tele. Until the fireworks came on, which was brilliant. Saw them go off all across the London skyline, from Canary Wharf in the East, to the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, and Primrose Hill in the West. All from the relative comfort of my balcony. I was pleased.
