A break for the border

Post-yuletide admonishments one and all!
Things are settling back in to their old routiene and I've finally found some time to update this blog.
Christmas was nice and quiet. Had dinner at Marybeth and Jonno's on Christmas day, then went thru to barnsley on boxing day. It felt kinda weird having Christmas not at home, especially talking to all the sibs on christmas morning. The familiar sounds of casual disappointment and feigned gratitude don't quite sound the same over a phone line. (yolking!)
As well as overconsuming calorifically, I've upped my trash culture intake in keeping with the season. Highlights include: The High Life DVD, which Gill tracked down for me, House of Flying Daggers, which was a little hollow once you get over all the choppy sock shit and flying daggers, and Le Femme Musketeer, groaning under the weight of Amy Smart's talent (Footballer's Wives Chardonnay). Christmas BB panto started promisingly enough, and the contestants were well chosen, but it got very dull very quickly. Not so with Celeb BB, which has proved to be much more fun than it should have been, primarily by the inclusion of Bez, but I find indulging homicidal fantasies involving John McCririck adds tremendously to the fun to be had.
I also got Gill Peep Show series 1 on DVD which is marvellous, and if you haven't seen it, get it.
Been playing 'Beyond Good and Evil', which was great until a glitch occured a few scenes from the finale which means I can't progress to the end without going back to the start. Still, I'm not a fan of 3D 3rd person roamers, and this was a significant improvement on the oceans of similar looking games.
I need to get back on the clock now, unfortunately, but tune in again sometime soon for further adventures.
Live well and regret not.
