Getting excited

Well here I am watching BSG Season 3 on Sky One when the adverts came on. Specifically an ad for "Bones" which had Stephen Fry guesting on it. What is going on?

So 3 days to I step on a BA plane to Seattle. Not good in one respect that unlike Kosso on his trips to the US I am travelling in Economy. The other depressing thing is that after flying Virgin to SF I am worried that BA's in-flight entertainment system might not be as good, specifically the 50 movies on-demand option. However after the investment in my first iPod on the last trip and the earphones as mentioned earlier the pain might be lessened. Perhaps I could transfer some movies onto the new laptop that should be appearing in the office tomorrow.

So Seattle on Sat. It still is mad to me that I fly on Sat afternoon and arrive on Sat afternoon, but on the otherside of the world. Which leaves Sat afternoon and evening and Sunday to lord it around Seattle. I am staying at what looks like a nice hotel www.hotel1000seattle.com but I will reserve judgement until I leave.

Tonight is my shift to stay up and feed Georgia at 11pm, which allows me to catch up on trash TV I have recorded on Sky+. BSG, Lost and 24. They are not really trash. I have probably named at least 2 of the best ground breaking dramas to hit our TV screens. On that note I am trying to get into the Dresden Files, but I am not sure of it.

I had a call from Carphone Warehouse customer service today, checking if everything was alright, which it was until I found out how much per minute it costs to call the States from my mobile. The call ended with me parting with another £3 to reduce the call rates by 95%. But it got me thinking about a new mobile phone, but I am apparently 5 months away from an upgrade. I did see some details of a new SE 5megapixel camera a few weeks back, hopefully some new tech will appear in 5 months. All I want is long battery life, fast OS, small form factor and reliable.

Off to Vinopolis on Thursday.
