Miraculously my good mood survived the night, although alas the good weather didn’t. Still, it hasn’t rained yet despite the black clouds, so I better take this opportunity to count some blessings before my good cheer gets washed away.
Star Wars Lego PS2 game
It’s been about two years since I even picked up the controller for my playstation; but the lure of Star Wars and Lego proved too much for me when I saw it on sale in the shop the other day. I have now completed the Star Wars IV: A New Hope section, and am currently battling to escape from Hoth. I think that makes me officially a Wookie.
Cash injection
When scanning the graph for the last post, I discovered the Scottish £5 note I’d left in there from this post. Free money! Of course I can’t spend it anywhere, but that’s not the point.
On the move
In the last three days Evan has learnt to roll over, crawl, and pull himself to standing from sitting. We now have a fully mobile baby. Looks like it’s time to move my broken glass and razor blades collection to a higher shelf.
Bond, James Bond
I am only three films off completing my James Bond dvd collection. Of the ones remaining to buy: Tomorrow Never Dies is next on the list, Casino Royal I’m waiting to come down in price, and I’m putting Live and Let Die off for as long as possible as all those voodoo shenanigans really freak me out.
The end of an era
The Coke iTunes promotion finishes on Thursday at midnight. While this means that my chances of wining an iPod are rapidly receding, it does mean that I will no longer have an obsessional fixation with the contest. No more eying up empty coke bottles on other peoples tables at cafes, no more getting up at 4am to type in codes, and no more seething bitterness when I read about other people winning my iPod. Given time and the correct detox regime I should be able to reduce my diet coke intake to around seven or eight litres a day.
And of course:

Hi Dan,
Great post, really like your blog. Sorry to hear about the end of the era, probably better off drinking less Coke anyway. I am sorry that I won you’re iPod, truly. :P
You’re doing the right thing using the 4am trick, but a fair few people have wised onto that, maybe since my blog post and it doesn’t seem to work any more.
I’ll have one last shot sometime on Wednesday, and if I win I’ll send
it to youyou an eBay link. :DAnyway, as a token of my apologies I thought I’d point these out to you on eBay:
Casino Royale: Only £2.95, but only two hours left, get in there quick!
: Another Casino Royale, good deal, but a rental copy.
: Tomorrow Never Lies, that’s definitely worth a click . ;)
Hope they help. It was the least I could do. ;)
Thanks for the linkback,
Matt Hoy
The title of your post made me smile… I had to go start the song up in iTunes before reading the rest of your post!
Plus, you live on the Queen’s Isle! *cough*
Shut it Kiwi, or you’ll get a jolly good punch up the bracket.
They ought to make weekend blogging illegal because I just can’t keep up. I did just manage to catch up on your last 4 posts however and they all made me chuckle in their own little ways.
So that should be another reason for you to be cheerful.
FYI, after complaining about no rain, we actually got some last night. It had been months. Thanks for the voodoo.
Great pics, btw.
Glad to hear that things are looking up. We’d definitely take some of your rain hear in Reno, where wildfires have been raging for weeks now. My babe started crawling this weekend, too. My husband and I did a desperate, last-minute baby-proofing of the house yesterday.
A certain relative of mine would undoubtedly have asked
“I wonder how many iPods you could have bought with all that Coke?”
I, of course, would never do any such thing.
Rolling and crawling. Marvellous times. Hope your DVD isn’t at floor level. That’s how we lost the video.
Cool post, Dan. Kerry, I love your haircut–very cute!
Those are lovely pictures. Jealous I am. Of your camera, not your ipod.
You can have the iPod I won the other day.
I say “I” won. It was actually my flatmate’s niece, who’s visiting from Mexico.
I say “iPod”. It was actually just an iTunes download link thingy free song whatsit.
But you can have it if it will encourage another podcast…
Oli – If you email me the “congratulations” email i’ll gladly take the credit off your hands.
I’m estimating that the next podcast will be up at some point Thursday evening. I’ve got a busy week this week.
