Dolmio, Apr 2006
They say that time only appears to accelerate as you age. Dunno what happened
to last month since it's already time for another end-of-month
Dolmio (Doings Of Last Month Innoparticular Order) round up.
That is to say, an attempt to capture past(a) events before they
slip... my... mind.
April 2006 was spent:
- goggling at the meteor shower and the scary droid ("Your robot is defective") in the great fun Zathura
- Dr Who 1: scavenging for promotional DVDs given away with The Soaraway Sun: many thanks to the Martlesham Heath newsagents
- Dr Who 2: anticipating the fortnightly new edition of Doctor Who Adventures: got stationery set and Slitheen whoopee cushion so far
- Dr Who 3: finding the Peter Cushing 1965 Doctor Who & The Daleks a tad lacklustre
- working on a new website for a local cycle shop: know anything about wheelbuilding?
- managing the odd frighteningly early night (though not tonight)
- admiring Douglas Coupland's eye for a phrase in Eleanor Rigby
- listening to the sounds of 20 years ago, esp. Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen and The Pogues' Rum, Sodomy and the Lash
- switching to flax seed oil for my Omega-3 but still struggling to swallow
- transfixed by more mini aeroplanes, rocking horses and shadowy creatures from Hiraki Sawa at Colchester's The Minories
- not having enough cash for a milkshake at Sainsbury's caff
- progressing from Sudocrem to Diprobase for the skin treatment
- opting for Danny Baker's Radio London show on the BBC Radio Player
- baffled by too many buttons on shiny new Nokia mobile phone
