The weekend didn't quite go as planned, I was far too lazy so got almost nothing done :o(.
After sleeping in on Saturday, I made breakfast and watched LotR. It's still fascinating, even on a tiny 14'' TV and Hugo Weaving is still wrong as Elrond ("Welcome to Rivendell, Mr Anderson"). I'll probably get the extended version as well when it comes out in November, which should keep it interesting til TT comes out. The trailer so far looks good. Will be interesting to see what they do with Saruman's and Gandalf's transformations. Both could get just too cheesy and unreal. Hope that G will only turn out white.
When the film was over, it was already 4 o'clock, so I just went around tidying a bit, by far not as much as necessary, read a bit, got some takeaway and rewrote the elysium site with the content from the tripod one.
Spent ages in bed on Sunday, most of it daydreaming, read some more, did some more website stuff and made pasta with pesto. About half of the old photos are now up on elysium, it's just a case of uploading it all which I hopefully will finish tonight if I don't run into any problems like last night were I couldn't create new folders on the server side properly (which, after checking with ronni, was due to my FTP client being strange, not the server).
It also now includes (or will when it's complete) the photos that used to be on my yahoo album (ICC2K1 and Scottish Ball 01).
This morning, I took my car in for servicing and MOT. Back at work, they called me and said that the 63,000 miles service would be due instead which involved some special checks. Well, I said, it can't be because there only 60,000 kilometers (37,500 miles) on the clock. It's a German car, the facts that the steering wheel is on the left hand side and that there's a little "km" next to the number should give it away, shouldn't it? Morons!
( Rant about British people )
And I need a new clutch. Oh well, changing gears was a real problem recently, so I expected as much. Things like that are bound to fail after 7 years.
