Entry: Christmas shopping Tuesday, November 27, 2007

Added some new photos to my web site today -- you can check them out by going to the DARREN SHAN SITE and clicking on the PHOTOS link. Then spent a large part of the day buying Christmas presents online. Computers have made Xmas shopping a whole lot easier than it used to be -- I was able to order most of my gifts online, which saves me the hassle of having to huff and puff around the place looking for them! It's not so bad if you live in a town or city, but when you live in the countryside like I do, Christmas shopping can be a curse!!! My Christmas cards also came today (Bas and I always design our own every year), so I'll probably start filling those out later, meaning it's been a highly festive day all round!!!

Watched the last four episodes of season 3 of Deadwood. I'd normally have spaced them out more, but it sucked me in and I just HAD to watch on!!! It was an excellent season overall, though I was somewhat disappointed in the final episode. The entire season had been leading up to a huge climax which never actually came -- instead it just fizzled out quietly. A pity, as I was looking forward to gun fights, massacres and blood aplenty. Oh well -- as Mick Jagger once so aptly put it, "You can't always get what you want!!!!!"

I heard about something like that. This one guy was told a 14 digit number then asked to repeat it. He did. Perfectly. years later they met again and he said the number again. Perfectly. Apparantly its because he can see in colours and is able to remember the colours. Wonder what it feels like to be able to remember everything... Sorry about quoting from wrong day but i forgot to check here yesterday :)
And I agree Darren computers have made shopping so much easier. I am getting a book shipped from Japan :p wouldnt be able to do that if computers wernt around. Expensive though :( £18 for a £2 book :o
