Currently in the roofspace - my wife thinks NYE is a good day to declutter.

NO IT BLOODY ISN'T!! :( #
Hmm. Shaving gel spray cans have a surprisingly long range.

Whoops. :) #
Lest I not tweet before midnight - a happy two thousand ten to all. :)

Elemental Gelade Complete Collection #anime #dvd review bit.ly/6BNeAU /via @ChrisBeveridge <- A very generous 'A' for a so-so series. #
Given that I've yet to see anything positive about Day of the Triffids, I've nukes my recordings of it. Those three hours are precious. #
On another TV-related note, disappointed to learn Defying Gravity has been cancelled. Yet another decent SF show that wasn't given a chance. #
All hail the BBC iPlayer, which has come to the rescue where Sky+ has failed me, conking out halfway through Defying Gravity's final ep. #

6-7 days, apparently. Depends on the ship. Nice way to travel (did 2 weeks Cape Town to Southampton once), but expensive. #

Is thinking un-Christmassy thoughts about people who design toy packing that needs screwdrivers to open. But why!?

Oh, and Merry Christmas! #
Dinner done. Onward to pressie opening, session two. No pressies for me this year, other than contributions to the iSlate fund... #
And finally: children in bed, arse in chair, beer in hand. Bliss. #

In a case of spectacularly bad timing, our main oven has died. Doing Xmas dinner in a 1-shelf top oven should be fun. #

First frozen windscreen of the winter. Time to have at it with the scraper... #
Picked up Emi's new bike. For all the size of it, it's several times heavier than mine. Guess 'lightweight' isn't a factor for the kids. #

And lo, Emi has fallen asleep on the sofa. One successfully partied-out 3-yr-old. :) #

Would it be heresy to say the Star Trek reboot is just ST: Nemesis with a sense of humour? Or maybe it's too late for me to think straight. #

HD rental from PS3 video store clocks in at just over 6GB. With my line speed, should be ready to watch by midweek. :/ #
Just seen an ad for somewhere selling "Appple Powerrmacs". Something about that doesn't fill me with enthusiasm. #
Tonight's planned viewing: Top Gear, Defying Gravity, and Star Trek on Blu-ray. Oh, and someone wants me to watch X Factor with them. Boo. #

Hmm. Western Digital are offering 1TB laptop hard-drives, around £160. Very tempting to get one each for PS3 and MBP. #
