I took last Thursday off to relax and we finally bought our wedding rings (platinum bands, mine looks like this), which obviously are not cheap. Then we popped into Virgin and discovered a DVD sale: bought K-PAX, High Fidelity and Starship Troopers.

Of course, two rings does not make a spending spree. On Saturday we went down to London so I'd have something nice to wear to the wedding (as the groom I thought I'd best make an effort) and picked up a lovely black suit from Austin Reed, found HMV also had a DVD sale (massive restraint here, only bought Léon) and went to Zizzi's for dinner. Finally on Sunday, as a break from the all the travelling to get to the shops, we bought a new TV online. Now all I need is for the GNOME Foundation to send me the Bounty money...

NP: Liquid Swords, GZA.

Glynn, dude, you are no longer qualified to comment on my colour scheme when you think the purple barf you ship is actually “sweet”. I can feel my photoreceptors burning away as I look at that screenshot.
