On The Road

Bit of travelling today. Away until Sunday and not surprisingly it’s very hard to be away from home right now. It’s all the fault of these characters:

We’ve made a good one there. It’s been a real treat seeing his personality continue to emerge over the last 4 months. Rather worryingly he’s showing a fascination with computer screens and has a favourite TV show. In The Night Garden is what the Telly Tubbies people did next and is similarly colourful, repetitive and continually baffling to its precursor. Shall we go by Ninky Nonk or Pinky Ponk asks Dereck Jacobi every episode. I still don’t know the answer to that and don’t think I ever will.

That said Charlie seems to have a crush on Upsy Daisy and even goes a bit radio rental when shown the babies In The Night Garden book Suzey got him. It’s amazing to see someone so young in scanning the book’s pages in rapt attention waiting for each page turn. All in all despite some difficult nights (Suzy gets the worst of this) and the vomiting and occasional screaming, he’s a constant delight

Travelling is made a bit easier thanks to my iPhone and the Genius function in the latest firmware update. I know I sound like a MacWanker but it is pretty ace. Genius allows me to select one track I like and then BY WITCHCRAFT a playlist is constructed of songs Genius thinks complement that choice. I’m a bit of a bugger for buying music and then not taking the time to listen to it so this has been perfect.

It’s like having your very own electronic music antiquarian taking you on a guided tour around the dark recesses of your music collection. I’ve been quite surprised to find out that, among others, I like Blonde Redhead and My Bloody Valentine a lot more than ever suspected before.

I don’t like fupping BATTLES though, Atlas pollutes every list for some reason despite being a terrible song which sounds those genetically engineered midgets in Bladerunner having a sing song. Anyway. Genius is mostly Genius, if you’re not an insufferable mac using iphone zealot already I would heartily recommend you to start being so.

So that’s my from the train blog update. The travelling right now isn’t for nowt. It’s work stuff but good work stuff edging us a little bit nearer to taking our company closer to where we want to be. There’s a -long- way to go (and maybe what we want will never happen) and this is just a little step mind but a step never the less
