flat out at work finishing my product intranet strategy - hopefully gets the thumbs up next week and can start implementing - work will get exciting then...laura left on the 26 feb - it sucks so much not being with her, i won't begin to try and emote it all here...new tv in the house has been a blessing and a curse...life has fallen into a routine for the immediate future..i get up before 7, get to work around 8, get home around 6, dinner and mtv take me thru till about 1am and then i start again...its good to have tv company, but you realise that its in your life too much when you are actually curious who will be the next boring british family to be relocated and start their new life in y foreign country...i am such a sad case right now...
that old adage you don't know what your missing - i was a tv raised kid - the sesame street was my hood and big bird my pimp and mentor...the formative years didn't really matter what it was, i watched it all - infact i became the molly meldrum of crap tv trivia (obscure reference, sorry - Australia camp guy who hosted our version of top of the pops in the 80's - Countdown; he knew his bad music and I knew my bad tv)..anyways i digress...one day i just stopped and left my beloved television behind...i just severed the umbilical and went about my business...
some years later with more free time induced by wanting to save some pennies for summer shananigans travels and more free time at home (weather is too shite to do anything after work most days - there is only so many times you can go to the pub...
i have realised that part of my life is gone for good...my happy days spent watching bad tv and enjoying it are over...television has really turned to crap...now being located in switzerland and with an array of channels that are in german, french and sometimes even turkish perhaps i am not privvy to all of the magic that the box can offer - BBC is shit house...so farkin boring and so many different versions of the same antiques in the attic, or on the road or wherever - who gives a flying f*** well this has turned into quite a rant..apologies just total tanget...
mtv is only friend on suisse tv - and i will come out and freely admit that i love pimp my ride - does that make me a bad person?
two weeks since the last post and all i can do is rabbit on about television - damn...heading out for another attempt at snowboarding on the weekend and having beers with a colleague tonite, i am afraid that i will be spending just a little bit more time with Jaunty than I actually want to.
