more credits... this one from the doris clan aboard the mv doulos. the email was a few days late, but they had a valid excuse - being that the ship was sailing to cape town on the day, which meant they had no email connectivity. ok... fair enough... AND they did a virtual rendition of happy birthday doulos-style, which is what the yfers did live at my office, hehe.

watched "never been kissed" last night, which was ok... if i think about it too much i'll get nit-picky (eg there's no way that the stamp she got at the nightclub could have been transferred to her forehead to read the way it did next morning), so i won't. afterwards there was a suggestion that i should do something to my hair - maybe dye it or get a radical haircut. maybe next jan. hmm... quop goes feral ;) any suggestions for what i should do before i wimp out?

told my manager today in passing that i'm considering a change in the next 6 months. not real sure whether that was a smart thing to do. oh well, it was going to happen sooner or later. i'll live.

got a piece of spam this afternoon which actually owns up to having obtained my email address from a purchased list. they were even kind enough to provide contact details (email and postal) should initial unsubscribe attempts fail. should i care? spam is spam, and deserves no more of my time than to pass on the details to the good folk at spamcop.

i'm still sick, and my head probably wishes it had nothing more to do than sit idle. started taking drugs yesterday. gee that could be taken out of context. drugs as in the prescription kind, prescribed by a doctor, on the basis of my illness. hope they do the job.
