Had a really nice dinner last night, home made veggie burgers and potato wedges courtesy of Gourmet John and chop-happy Helena. So nice was it that I’m probably going to buy a hand blender so I can do similar.
I’ve also to buy a new suitcase as there’s a possibility I’ll be going to Bangladesh at the end of this month. My current suitcase gave up the ghost having being across the world twice in the same month just before I got to my door on my final trip home.
The suggestion of going to Bangladesh again doesn’t phase me so much this time, in fact, I sort of volunteered. Anything to get out of the office. If I don’t have to travel I will have to work Bangladesh hours in the Dublin office for a few days.
With dinner last night we watched Christian Slater in ‘Pump Up the Volume‘, neither the worst nor best film ever made. Run of the mill teen empowerment romp that should have been made a few years earlier and have had Alley Sheedy in the role of the black-wearing, interesting female.
I ordered an iSkin (orange of course) for my new iPod a few weeks ago an it hasn’t arrived yet. I queried the delay with the store I bought it off and they have since marked the item as lost in the post and say they’ve shipped me another. I think something fishy might be going on.
[ Update ]
My ugly orange iSkin (maybe I shouldn’t have gone to so much trouble to get the orange one that was unavailable everywhere in Toronto and bought a white one) arrived this after noon which I think proves that the best way to get things to happen is to complain about it on the Internet.
