Managed to buy tickets for Peter Kay in Blackpool in March 2003!!! I have been trying for ages but he has always sold out very quickly (due to being very funny I guess) but I managed to get through to Blackpool on a tip about a new date being released and bought 10 tickets ;-) Reckon I need about 6 for friends and can maybe flog the others nearer the time for 50 quid each ;-)
What else has been going on? Well, bad news, I need to go back into hospital for an operation soon :-(
On the plus side, I was 0wning at CS last night, AWP-tastic, not top scorer with AWP on our server ;-)
DL'ed some more films this week, have got Black Hawk Down and High Crimes and Donnie Darko to watch, but want to watch DD at the cinema really.
Er, what else? Not much really. Waiting for GTA : Vice City to be released next Friday for PS2 ;-) and am thinking of getting a 120 gig drive slapped in my machine for christmas too.
Can't be arsed to put anymore in yet ...

I watched The Royal Tenenbaums last week. What a great film. Here's my review which can also be found on www.imdb.com.
This film is, (in my opinion), a work of genius. It made me laugh, not often, but I found myself with a smile on my face most of the time. Gene Hackman (who I always doubted frankly) turns in his best work. Ever. Gwyneth Paltrow is equally engaging. Ben Stiller shows a side I didn't know he even possessed but Luke Wilson, as ex-sports pro Richie Tenenbaum is a real treat. His role is, er, let's say far from your typical family-drama role, and he handles it wonderfully. I haven't even mentioned Bill Murray and his child study yet. Another stunning cameo double-act with some blindingly funny lines. The soundtrack? Well, if you had listed it I would have scorned you and referred you to my parents, as it's not really my thing, but in the film itself it works brilliantly. Ruby Tuesday and Hey Jude will never sound the same to me ever again.
I've just re-read this and I don't think i put it across very well. If you find yourself with a spare evening this week with nothing else to do, pop down to your local video store and rent this. You'll be glad you did. Trust me. Any film who's funniest line centres around a suicide note must be worth watching once.
I also watched Charlie's Angels (it was Sunday morning, I didn't have anything else to do, OK?). One thing I'd forgotten was just how funny Drew Barrymore is in this. Laugh out loud funny at times. The rest of it's pretty crap of course.
Loads more to write about later, films etc etc.
