Am off to watch 'Valkaryie' tonight, after some din-dins. Watched '7 Pounds' a couple of weeks ago (3.25*), you spend most of the film wondering what's going on, yet it all seems a bit predictable and plods along at points. Will Smith plays the role well, but his anguish is a little OTT in my opinion at times. However, I enjoyed the film, and the twist at the end was good, but by that point your so used to not knowing whats going on you don't really know what to think.
Watched a couple episodes of a fairly new series called 'Fringe' on Sky 1, that started a while back. I'm going to reserve judgement on this one.
Played some poker, from the $600 point, I must have lost about $300, but am now back up to $700 profit for the year so far.
Managed to lose 5lbs since Christmas, though the homemade BLT I just had has probably changed this round. Been to rugby and football training a fair bit, and the gym, and then went mountain biking on Saturday which was ACE!!! Hardcore but ace. I did bin it into a hedge, but it didn't hurt, and at the end we were coming down sheer rock, I felt like a proper extreme mountain biker, though realistically I maybe... erm... wasn't. I deffo wanna do more mountain biking.
This weekend is a wedding reception of someone I've not spoken to, a family (gf's) meal, checking out my gf's brothers cat that is nearly 2 stone (not fat, just its breed - Maine Coon), gym, prob play tennis/squash on Friday nightm maybe a walk on Sunday, so all up a cool weekend, active and lots to do, just the way I like it! Will I be too shattered to stay up and watch Superbowl on Sunday... Hmmm...
Planning on going to London March 6th, and April 10th. I have a free flight for one of them.
Am applying for a Portfolio Manager job at an investment/private bank, though it's completely beyond my experience, I hope maybe they can see me in a supporting role, and develop into a similar managerial position within this area. Can't stand doing this audit malarky! If only I could do more advisory based work.
Parents home from Thailand, which they enjoyed, and I enjoyed having the house to myself!
Had an offer of 290k accepted on a nice house, stay tuned to see how this goes, finding out on mortgage details now, but the rest should go through fine.
Anyways, back to work,
N-Dog
