Birthday Party

Last night I was watching an episode from the latest season of Peep Show. I've got every episode of Peep Show so far on DVD, and I've watched them all many times. It's a British sitcom that debuted in 2003 and deals with two flatmates Mark Corrigan (played by David Mitchell) an uptight loan manager whose main interests in life are women, work and history, and Jeremy Usborne (Robert Webb) an unemployed, would-be musician, whose main interests are drugs and women. The show revolves around them and their friends and relations, but pretty much everything in the show is filmed from the point of view of the characters in the scene, and the secret, innermost thoughts of the two main characters are revealed in voice-over. It's a really clever show and very funny.

Today was another quiet day at work. I don't know where I'll be working next week, whether I'll stay in the old section or be back in the regular section. No-one has said yet.

I got home and then I went out to the 50th birthday party for Maggi (who works at my table in my regular office) at the Limelite bar. I had about three pints of beer. It's been months since I last went out for a drink. It was that weird thing where there was no-one there that I really knew, but a lot of people who I vaguely knew by sight around the office. It wasn't really a good party, because there weren't many people there I could talk to, everyone was totally drunk, and I was feeling really tense, still it was good to get out for a bit. I got a taxi home.

I'm really getting back into using Twitter again. Of course, when I'm in Amsterdam, that will be pretty much how I'll be doing my blogging.
