(What the Hell kind of £$*&ing title is that??? - Ed)
Well New Year is coming in and people will be making their resolutions. Instead of trying to change what Im good at in my life and what I like, here is my 2006 New Years Wish List.
Firstly, the thing Im most looking forward to in 2006 is Radiohead's new album. Im looking forward to hearing some new stuff by the Head. Apart from the fact Im a huge Radiohead fan, I know that the Head wont be doing a Travis or Coldplay thing and going samey samey as previous albums. As always Im expecting some new from the Head.
Aswell as the new album, will be a tour. Which is almost as a mouth watering prospect as the new album. A note, the very first gig I ever went to was Radiohead's Big Tent tour, which I loved.
A lil extra on Radiohead, there are rumours abound that Radiohead have been approached to do a score for a new Philip K Dick film. Any of my keen eyed readers will notice that Philip K Dick is one of my favourite (dead) authors. He wrote books that the movies Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report and Paycheck. New Radiohead material and a new Philip K Dick, fantastic!
The movie is called Scanner Darkly, stars Keanu Reeves plus others. Its a mixture of live and animation. See the trailer!
Secondly is Nintendos Revolution. Screw your Xbox 360's and PS3's, Nintendo has gone the right way with this console. Bigger and better graphics make for a more expensive and noisier machine. Where as Nintendo is putting all the emphasis on the new controller. Making the way we play games completely new. Good on you dawgs.
Although these above things are small but they are what Im looking forward to most. But the biggest thing about 2006 will be my move to Leeds. Its gonna be hard. Ill have to get a whole load of new friends. And find a new job. And find a house. But Im looking forward to it. Its gonna be fun.
And finally Seinfeld Seasons 5 and 6 on DVD. I was going to get them this month, but a hefty phone bill has pushed that back till the New Year now. Although I would like the linked box set complete with puffy shirt.
Off my list was the Sony's PSP. Despite Chamionship Manager 4 and GTA out for the great lil device, and the whole movies/mp3 player thing too, it seemed like something everyone must have. But the battery life is putting moi off and I am getting the new Nintendo. So think Ill take that off the wish list.
Well on to other news.
The new adverts for Burger King promoting the King Kong movie. IS it just moi, or when the guy is tucking in to the giant burger thats just fell to the street is there a warning sign that basicall says "Burger is not actual size shown"? I bet this was due to Americans.
Dead pets everywhere
Well the second episode of Ricky Gervais's podcast is available. I've not heard it yet, but its sitting on the mp3 player.
Genious rap battle. I agree with the chosen winner too. "Yo. Yo. You sick bows," "You live with racoons." Far too many sound bites from this baby.
What happens if you cross Benny Hill with The Passion of Christ. Why its the Passion of Benny Hill.

Thats suppose to be a quote theat everyone lives by I'm told. Geraldine has just left the house, well yesterday, to go to Australia for a month to see relatives. I hope the rioting doesnt spoil her hols. Anyway its moi and Alistair. Ive about lost it with Alistair now already. For example yesterday I was tucking in to a pot noodle sandwich. It was late, I wanted to eat something quick before bed. And what quicker then a pot noodle. Plus its very yummy on a sarnie. So Alistair turns to moi and says "does it not bother you that your damaging your health?"
"What do you mean?" I said.
"Well not eating vegetables."
Well Alistair. Firstly, you see moi for like 10 minutes a day so who are you to question my eating habits. Also what the Hell does it have to do with you?
After a long and overly sarcastic pause I could only manage a "No, it does not bother me."
Also, as I was buttering my bread I realised that Alistair has initialed the butter. So he belongs to him. After I used it and he came downstairs I told him I had used it, apologised andtold him I'll buy some for the house. I was waiting for the "no Rob, its ok. Use mine" line. But no. It didnt come. He said instead ""well I know you had been using it as there are bread crumbs in there."
Not only the butter but he has initialed the milk and sugar. This is pretty petty. So today Ive had to do more shopping. Im thinking I may initial the toilet roll.
Anyways, its made moi think more about heading to Leeds. At the moment it couldn't come sooner.
Anyway, looking for a change in career? Here is some tips on playing dead people. Not un-dead moving around. But actual dead people not moving.

Cheers Ed. Aren't you suppose to be on Christmas leave though?
So I had the works Christmas drinks last night. It wasnt anything to write home about. I wasn't allowed to rob the Christmas cape like thingy and strip down to nothing but the cape. It was one of them kind of boring parties.
Although I do think that I may be losing my touch on women of late. Either that or the little voice in my head that normal tells moi to talk to girls was asleep due to my early start in work yesterday. Or maybe Im interested in a girl at the moment so the little voice in my head was on holiday. Who knows, but....
Basically in one bar there was a very pretty girl who caught my eye. And as you know in these situations you'd look for signals that the other person has seen you. Maybe theyll look over at you and hold a glance your way for a little longer then normal. Maybe a smile. Well last night this particualr girl waved to moi a few times. Now looking at things retrospectival I can safely say that a 'wave' would be a sign that a girl likes you. So instead of walking over, chatting, swapping names and seeing were the night would take us, I instead waved back and carried on drinking with work colleagues.
Anyway, the rest of the night led to moi getting lost in a fast fooed restaurant. Then heading around aisle ways looking for hidden bars, which I did on my first attempt. I thought the nice new bar I found was giving away free trilby's, but apperntly the ones that were randomly placed on the top floor were infact the bar owners/promoters.
Also there was another group of people. A mixture of dressed up chavs, a group of girls and what could only be best described as "IT guys." I could only assume this was a works night out. And agian there was a girl who kept looking over at moi quite alot. Was it because she was trying to get my attention, maybe it was I was sat on my own or perhaps she was interested in my trilby. But she did on a few occasions walk past moi and smile at moi. But she was surrounded by her female work colleagues which would of made any attempt by moi to talk to her almost sucidal. Its one thing to walk up to a girl in a bar, its a whole different story attempting to make conversation with an entire table of girls.
If Im to move to Leeds and have any hope of meeting new people I need to make sure the little voice in my head is always around to tell moi to approach people.
Anyway, Im off to scare people away from eBay. Ive been outbid on 3 identical items now and its annoying.
(EDIT) ps. this is something I have been waiting for for a while. Everyone can now check their Gmail account from their phone. Simply type in 'http://m.gmail.com' on to their phone browser and there you go. (Hey can anyone actually read their mails using this? - Ed)
*sings* "Rudolph the dead dear rug"
Well I walked in to my mums the other day to find this rug lying on the floor.
