Too Long

Quite alot has happened in the last couple of weeks, though updating this page hasn’t been one of them -_-

First of all the 23rd of October was my birthday, despite having to work it I did have a great day. As my work mates had decorated my desk for the day. After work though was when the real fun began as I headed into the town center to meet up with a group of my friends for an evening of fun / drink, though I can’t remember too much besides lots of laughter, smiles and.. even more drink. With the amount of booze that was going around, it’s no wonder I got absolutely hammered.

Thanks too everyone that turned up to make it a great birthday though <3 you all for it.

Thankfully I had the day after booked off as holiday, as after all that drinking I felt terrible the morning after. Most of the day as a result was spent in front of the TV watching anything that seemed remotely decent.

Rolling forward to the following Saturday, after having worked a large overtime shift in the morning / early afternoon I went and got sorted to go to a Halloween party at a good friends house. Surrounded by pretty much the core group from the previous Tuesday our twisted senses of humor were unleashed once again. However unlike the Tuesday this time I was drinking at a more steady pace, well until someone went and put a few shots into one of my drinks >_>

Somewhere around 10pm a small band of us headed for the town centre, though this excursion was short lived to say the least.

Finally this week, unlike the previous one it hasn’t been as eventful except a few points mainly being Halloween itself and Yesterday.

October 31st, Halloween. This was probably one of the best ones I’ve had during the daylight hours in quite some time. The entire office I work at was decorated with each of the teams within it competing for best decorated, as a result it looked amazing as all sorts of Halloween themed decoration could be seen. The team that I’m on had decided earlier in the week that we were all going to go in dressed solely in black with the blokes wearing orange ties if possible.  Sadly our team didn’t win, though with the amount of food we had I’m doubtful any of us were that bothered.

Throughout the week I’d set into motion plans to go to the cinema to watch well anything that seemed good.  The amount of effort needed seemed to grow as I looked at the listings for the Friday, to see what was playing and when. With a vast majority of the films showing whilst most people were working (myself included) or some really late time (10pm start) it vastly limited the amount of choices. In the end we ended up going to see 30 Days of Night, a film about a group of vampires that move in to prey upon a small town in Alaska of which is descended into total darkness for 30 days a year. Despite the lack luster description there it was a really entertaining film if your into horror / gore. With it being only a 15 rated film, I was kind of shocked as to the amount of gore that was in it. Maybe I’m just getting old as I remember when that level would have been an 18.  Yet I do remember watching Robocop when I was little which was an 18 which has a pathetic level of well anything that would these days be even a 15, so it’s really just a sign of the ever moving times. Still makes me feel old though =(
