January

Yeah, 2012! The year where everything goes to shit, according to idiots online. Just to bring you up to speed on my month so far, I've had a piss-awful New Year's Eve/Day and a fairly average couple of weeks. I spent the last few minutes of 2011 in a Premier Inn pub in Worplesdon. Pretty dire selection of music but the biggest annoyance was the lack of a decent countdown. Usually, you do it to Big Ben on the TV. The fucking DJ brought us in on his watch, so whilst everyone was going "10! 9! 8! 7! 6...", the DJ was talking over us all with "...8. 7...".

The only reason I give a flying toss about New Year's Eve/Day is because it's the one time of year when I know exactly what the time is. Due to pointless clock changes with hours going back & forward and my watch cocking up periodically throughout the year (no idea how), I usually end up losing about 2 minutes by the next New Year's countdown. However, since the DJ didn't seem like the kind of person who's watch is precisely lined up with GMT (he played a clubbing version of Auld Lang Syn* for fuck's sake), I still don't know if I have the right time. Irritating but nothing I lose sleep over.
Other than that, things have been fairly standard. Had a few Epic Subway Sandwiches with friends, raising my maximum intake to a 16'' Sub in one sitting. I've also been making my way through the massive Gummy Bear I got as a Christmas present in 2010, so I've probably put a fair amount of weight on. So I guess I should talk about what I've got planned for the rest of January. The usual GH DLC post, that'll be out towards the end. I've also got my list of events from 2011. Not important ones, just things I did (YAY ME!).
As added extras for the rest of the month, I've got a little bit of info about my New Year's Resolution(s) that I don't mind sharing and a rant about my latest trip to Harvester. I'll try and get that online within this week, since I don't want to forget anything that happened. Who knows, maybe I'll get a free meal out of it...although maybe I'll just never go to the Ottershaw one ever again. Too many times I've been there and had somebody unhappy with the service. Not even sure why I stand up for the place, since the food is average at best.

Anyway, those are things for me to dread typing up and you to not look forward to. Until then, have a Happy Rest Of The Year until the Olympics which is going to Fuck Everything Up. Be seeing you.
