i will give it a pass

it was cold this weekend but as there was no rain during the day i managed to cycle both days. my cold also subsided and i think i may have found the cure. on friday lunchtime i went to a turkish place that does lamb kebabs and rice and salad, and even on friday afternoon i could feel myself getting better. lemsip, nyQuil and all that other stuff is useless. lamb kebab with rice is the cure.

training like a monster these days. it might be cold and it might be perpetual darkness but i am in the zone at the gym and am killing it.

work is slow which is a good thing. its december and you can feel things winding down. 2 more weeks of work left for this year and then its a brave new world in 2010. we have our christmas party next monday. i think i will give it a pass. i think i will be the only person not to go to it. its a little awkward but i am seeing all my friends tomorrow night for a christmas drinks, from where i used to work and they are my real friends, and i just view my current work colleagues as just work colleagues. it professional and i don't really want to socialise with people i don't really know. it is a bit anti social but i just don't feel like going. if they think i am being a ass then thats NMFP (not my fucking problem).

anyways, from a time when i used to work in an office and i knew all the people and politics. here is an amusing clip from my favourite tv show the thick of it. i kind of miss those days as there were some good laughs, although saying that, when you were actually in the midst of the bullshit it could get quite shite.

and today i have mostly been listening to one day as a lion - wild international.

....i'm like a nail stuck in the wrist of their christmas.

i have also been listening a lot to the new 30 seconds from mars album, this is war. its very good. if you like angels and airwaves you will love it. in places its very similar. being similar to something good is no bad thing but it really does almost sound like the same band, were it not for the fact that jared leto is a slightly better singer than tom de longe. anyways it good. if you have spotify, bit torrent or even some money, i suggest you treat yourself.
