Such a waste of talent...No, really...

It's been reported today that Victoria Beckham has finally given up her singing career…

Never mind eh?

Now if only Girls Aloud would consider doing the same…

:D

shigoto ni ikimasu! (except for a week in August)

I've booked a week off from work at the end of August, and as usual I have a huge list of things that I plan to do but won't ever get around to actually doing any of them...

The list of planned activities thus far include (in no particular order)

1. Do some artwork (and actually complete it - shock! horror!! gasp!!! etc!!!! :O)

2. Watch some of the movies that I have on DVD but haven't got around to watching (maybe doing it at the same time as item 1 on the list. Wow! multitasking!)

3. Make a proper effort to learn some Japanese (nihongo!) rather than just picking up the occasional phrase when I chat with Yuki (arigato Yuki! :D)

4. Buy a new scanner/printer/CD writer

5. Spend far too long on the internet when I should be doing something else

6. Some other stuff

I also intend to start making some tentative plans for my trip to Japan (currently scheduled for Feb 2006!) otherwise the time will come and go and I'll still be faffing around in my usual chaotic way!

:D

Star Destroyer!

Camden seems to be the place for "star" spotting this Summer...

It all started off with seeing Tim Burton in a local pub a while ago, and was quickly followed by a spate of other minor celebrity sightings (including a former presenter from Saturday morning kids television and a member of a long forgotten girl group trying desperately not to break her ankles while walking on the cobblestones in Stables Market wearing very high heels (sorry, can't remember their names, but to be honest they weren’t that famous)

The latest "celebrity" sighted was actor Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers and…er…um…some other stuff) who was spotted cruising past the pub I was sitting outside in a very expensive looking car, only to be stopped by the police for using his mobile phone while driving!

Damn! Wish I had my camera… :D

Link to Damian Lewis profile for people who haven't got a clue who he is:
