My Eddie Izzard tickets arrived today. They will either be converted to an evenings entertainment for me and 2 friends, or an evenings entertainment for me and a tidy profit. Hurrah! I just hope the show is better than Circle. It's still funny, but it's definitely not his best work.
I can't be bothered with work at all today. I'm being kept sane by a mixture of IRC, aimless web surfing and the odd IM conversation with the ever-lovely Helen. This afternoon I plan to read bash.org, chat at a leisurely pace, and optionally do some work, should the need present itself. I may also search for some recipes. I haven't done any real cooking in ages. I rather fancy making some ice cream, after seeing a marmalade-based recipe on a newsgroup. Sounds very interesting to me. Those of you who've followed my root beer making adventures will probably be extremely surprised to learn that I'm entirely capable in the kitchen, it just seems to be things that involve yeast which throw me completely.
I'm also toying with the idea of starting one of those schemes where they pay you to read emails, then writing a script to handle the "reading". Nefarious and probably not terribly lucrative, but it has the advantage that it's absolutely no effort on my part and it's a nice kick in the teeth for the spam industry. Be nice to see an example email first though, just to check it's feasible.
