Recently in That Was the Week That Was Category

Hugely busy week, not made any easier by my promotion to Acting Marketing Manager – woohoo - and my wonderful editor at ‘Nett Magazine’, Josh Mehlman, forgetting to tell me next Monday’s copy deadline has been bumped back two weeks. (He’s going to read this and claim it was deliberate to help me get ahead of the curve. Trouble is, he’s probably right!).

I'm counting down until I can get to see 'The Dark Knight' this weekend. Let's hope it won't disappoint like some other recent blockbusters I could mention. In the meantime, you may have noticed I've been tweaking the site here and there trying to fix some irritating browser issues. I've been a Firefox user for a long time and find it hard to understand why some people still insist on using IE.

It’s been quiet in these parts for the last few days due to my teenage daughter descending on us for the school holidays. Suddenly, life revolves around entertaining someone whose default setting seems to be ‘bored’.

I originally started putting together this weekly wrap-up yesterday, but found I had more to say on ‘Hancock’ than I thought – hence yesterday’s post. Since then, I’ve discovered I’m not the only one to have made the observation of the incredible change of direction at the halfway point. I’m just hoping that ‘The Dark Knight’ doesn’t disappoint, but early signs are good.

The Wedding Planner

No, not the godawful romcom from a few years ago. Although hiring a wedding planner, even one as annoying as J-Lo, would mean Shelley and I would not have to look at one more bridal magazine or spend hours walking from venue to potential venue.

Yup, I’m over the preparations with five months to go.

My computer hates me. For some reason, it believes it should be given a break every now and then from the constant workload and overnight tasks I set it. So I’m interpreting last night’s meltdown as a form of tech protest. 

So it looks like I’m without the main machine again until the weekend, forcing me to resort to quick posts in my lunch hour at work and working from the mini laptop – the Asus Eee – at home. As long as I get the treacherous tower back by the weekend, I won’t start panicking about downloading this Saturday’s ‘Doctor Who’ finale.

Speaking of which…
