Klingon Wedding
Exactly what it says on the box. It’s not often I can point at someone and go “Geeeeeek!!!!” (Apart from Daz, of course, but he’s deeply in denial.)
Flashback
To tide me over until Gran Turismo 4 arrives (hell, to tide me over until the preview arrives) I just picked up a copy of GT2 I found in a charity shop.

100 Things (Final stretch and updates)
92. Attend a televised awards ceremony
93. Learn a programming language
Properly, not in the half arsed way I learnt to gaffer tape routines together in VBA. Griff says that C# is quite a lucrative area to be in.
94. Visit every Disneyland

95. Get a free crate of Glenfiddich
Sometimes breweries will gift crates of their products to writers who mention them. I’m also open to offers of Jennings Sneck Lifter.
96. Go scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef
97. Get as close to an active volcano as possible
98. Attend a gala movie premiere

99. Publish a cook book

100. Get ‘Ian Seat’ into the OED
Being the position in acrowded room, bar, etc, which has the least advantageous view for eyeing up members of the opposite sex.
It seems that aim 10 (Make it into the Popdex top 100) isn’t all that hard if you’re willing to use a few tricks.
I managed to achieve goal 60 (Burn all my CD singles to MP3) this morning. I now have 4958 songs- 13 days, 16 hours, 21 minutes and 54 seconds of music- on the computer. So now I have to think of another goal, though the logical next step is-
101. Burn all my CDs to MP3
Are you now, or have you ever been…….
The US seems determined to destroy its tourist industry, which they’re going to need as a vital source of income if their economy gets any more shaky. Tourism companies estimate that the intrusive and excessive security questions required by the Advanced Passenger Information System could stretch check in times to five hours before take-off.
Special Delivery
7,500 Kalashnikovs were found on a ship headed for the US. This sort of ties in to the first DEx storyline.
