The Mighty Boosh

Last night was pretty quiet. I was watching repeats of comedy shows on TV, and I watched an episode of The Mighty Boosh on DVD. That was a really bizarre sitcom written by and starring comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding, which was adapted from a radio series, which itself was taken from a series of stage shows. In the first season, which is pretty much taken from the radio series, fashion victim and would-be rock n' roll star Vince Noir (Fielding) and uptight "jazz maverick" Howard Moon (Barratt) work as zoo keepers in a surreal "Zooniverse" and frequently go on strange journeys featuring talking animals, shamans, monsters and magic. The show featured kind of conventional sitcom elements, animation and frequent musical interludes. The show is usually very funny, and even when it isn't it's too bizarre to ever get dull.

My cold is not as bad today as it has been but it is still definitely there, and still very strong. I hope it will go away quickly. of course, it's that birthday party tomorrow evening. If I feel okay, then I'll go, but if I still feel like I do at the moment, then I won't.

It was a fairly dull day at work, but apparently they are planning yet another big desk move. It will be interesting to see in which office I end up when I come back after my holiday, although I doubt it will be uppermost in my mind while I'm in Amsterdam.
