Recap… before I forget what I did this week

It’s been a quiet, mostly uneventful time at bentley towers over the past week, so rather than bore you, (and because I’m really trying to update this blog at least once a week) I’ve decided to go for a recap style post.

This week I’ve…

  • Spent over 14 hours solid online looking for a holiday, before finally booking a week, all inclusive, at a stunning hotel in the Caribbean coast of Mexico
  • Got way too excited about the idea of swimming with dolphins
  • Went to Holland park for a picnic – saw three seperate people taking their cats for a walk. On leashes.
  • Had one of my commercial hosting servers go up in flames
  • Spent 12 hours solid fixing aforementioned broken server and placating unhappy customers (who are now, thankfully, happy)
  • Got way too much into Dexter – highly recommended if, like me, you like a bit of twisted dark humour
  • Pissed myself laughing, watching Katherine Jenkins (Welsh opera singer) sing “I Feel Love” with the Blue Man Group
  • Pissed my self laughing watching my flatmates watch the above video, especially at the 2:23 mark, where they were convinced her head was going to start spinning around 360 degrees a la Exorcist
  • Cooked and ate a pizza loaded with enough chilis to drop a horse. Then felt waaaay rough the next day
  • Started writing Javascript tutorials for the sake of the poddies (and my own sanity) – more about this soon
  • Got two friends to watch 2girls1cup and managed to film one of their reactions, much to his distress

That, as we say folks, is it for the moment.

Just to cheer you up, (and so I can play with the video embedding) is the aforementioned clip of Ms. Jenkins turning demon. I’d highly recommend playing it all the way through (keeping a special eye out for 2:23 – where she kicks into operatic overdrive!)

And of course, for those folks who are interested, here is how it should be sung (by the awesome Venus Hum…!)

enjoy.

this site is wholly unfinished at the moment. i'd like to say that you should pop back in a few days to see the finished result, but frankly i'm a realist. you should pop back and expect to see a broken site. hey, you never know, you might be pleasantly surprised...
