Got back from a week in Ireland with my family late on Friday night; I’m still recovering despite an extremely lazy weekend with the mrs – catching up on all the Lost, L Word, 24, Dirt and Greys Anatomy episodes that we missed while I was away. It’s a sad existence when you have to live life by watching others fake it. Still; Bette is hot and if Locke hadn’t blown up the losties only chance of escape from the Island – the submarine, we may well have had a happy ending and I’m a sucker for them. Of course by that I mean that we would finally have an ending, a solution, and we could all stop watching this stupid frigging program that poses more un-answerable questions every single episode. Oh well, its something to do, something to casually occupy my little mind for a while…we also tried desperately to get a Nintendo Wii today. Stop laughing you smug bastards! Yes, yes you already own one and have also been informed that they are out of stock all over the UK. Bollocks to you all! I also discovered mid-flight (yes I had left my mobile on) that I had left my Sims 2 disk at home and now won’t have it in time for the arrival of my amazon order – Sims 2 Open for Business. Life imitates art? Rubbish! They obviously hadn’t played Sims 2.

Anyway, my stay at home was great, if a little short. Spent a couple of days with my best friend and her mrs in Belfast, drinking corona, smoking her outta house and home, playing poker and watching the “ginger” episode of South Park (if you’ve seen the new season, you’ll know which one I mean). Needless to say I was extremely high and consequently passed out on the sofa, in front of the fire, half un-dressed.

Here’s to taking your mother out for mothers day, getting so high you forget where you are, getting off at the wrong train station and ending up in an area you really rather wish you hadn’t, late night poker, sleeping in your brothers bed as he kips on the sofa, naughty late night phone calls to the woman you love and to the family members who over-hear those conversations.

PS: The Tenacious D film is so bad, don’t bother seeing it.
