I bought “Soundsystem 01” by Hybrid last week. It’s not an artist album, it’s more of a mix album. There are two CDs: the first is an ambient, film-soundtrack kind of CD. The second one is more of a DJ set, reflecting the kind of tunes which are in their record box at the moment…

Well, when I say “my” PC, I mean, your PC. That’s right – you in the blue shirt. Quick! Everybody! Over to that guy’s PC!!! NOW!!! … *ahem* um, sorry, got a bit carried away there. One of the mildly annoying things about Virgin Radio is the adverts they run. They’ve been repeating one a…

Not much to say this weekend. It was fairly quiet for once! On Saturday afternoon we went round to Anne-Marie’s to help out with some gardening. I have to say, I think it went quite well. The garden now looks much more like a garden again (as opposed to a jungle), and although we couldn’t…

You get some really bizarre things in the news. Such as this, for example. Apparently people have been using the internet to hire contract killers… one woman even put up an ad on Craigslist. How stupid can they be? Anyway, if you fancy earning a bit of cash on the side at weekends, why not…

This weekend was mainly spent travelling to and from Manchester! On Friday night we did ’21’ at Fordham. As the youth leader was away we had to prepare and lead the study ourselves. It seemed to go pretty well anyway, I think most of the kids enjoyed it. On Saturday morning we drove round to…

I watched “Lab Rats” last night. It’s a new comedy show on the BBC, set in a research lab in a university. I thought it was quite a good idea for a comedy show, I don’t think the lab has been done before in a sitcom (well, I can’t think of anything other than the…

It’s been a fairly busy week! I’ll try and remember what we’ve been up to… on Friday night we helped out at ’21’. That was the penultimate study for this term – the last one will be on Friday, which we are leading (scary!). On Saturday evening we went round to Anne-Marie’s to watch the…

For those of you not in the know (which included me up until a couple of days ago), a ‘Macro’ is apparently a new word for images which have got text superimposed on them – usually for humurous effect. So, basically captions, except written on the image. Apparently there are a lot of these with…

Last night we had a few people round to watch “The Beast with a Billion Backs”, the new Futurama film (it’s only just been released on DVD in the UK). It was brilliant! Incredibly random, more so than “Bender’s Big Score”, but very funny in places. Some lines were absolutely hilarious. I don’t want to…

The title says it all really! On Friday evening went to help out with ’21’, the Fordham youth group, which was good fun. On Saturday morning, we went to Colchester Food & Drink festival in Castle Park. It was packed with stalls selling lots of lovely things – we managed to spend quite a bit…
