No… not just a cunning headline to annoy cycling users of Google – it is in fact an indication that I’m off to France on Monday for a conference with work. Unlike some of the hardened vets of the games industry, I really dig these things – seeing all the new stuff that’s in development and seeing just how far the hardware is being pushed. As an added bonus we get to do it at DisneyLand this time around, so that should be cool in itself.

I’ve never been to France before. I’ve been over it a few times en-route to package holidays, but this will be the first time in my 30 or so years that I’ve been there proper. Not that it will be France, for that matter – more like a little oasis of Americana… or so I’m told.

Which is just as well, as my french is a little rusty after evil Mrs Craig the scottish french teacher put me right off of the subject at Torpoint Comprehensive. Fortunately Cedrick will be there should the need for translation arrive!

Fingers crossed I pick up a few phrases along the way… might help me understand what Mr Jess is on about next time we speak! ;o)

A big meeting has been called at work tomorrow afternoon, and to quote several cast members of Star Wars “I have a bad feeling about this.”

It’s not that there’s any indication of it being negative… it’s just that there hasn’t been any indication of it being positive either.

Hopefully the rumours flying around have been a lot of paranoia and speculation over nothing, as this would be a very bad time for very bad things to happen.

Not that there’s ever a good time.

Vanessa and Friends’ Sea theme party went well at the weekend. As a surfer dude amongst pirates and mermaids it turned out to be a better idea for a theme party than I thought it would be.

Fliss is already toying with the idea of having a theme party of sorts for her 21st at the end of May. Not entirely sure what I’d like to dress up as for that – I still have an urge to dress up as The Mask at some point, so fingers crossed it’ll be a Movie theme night! =o)
