Cosy (Dec 12 2003 12:00 GMT) - Met up with my mate Panto Dave last night, ostensibly to go to a wine bar in Brockley (tried telling this to my German flatmate - she couldn't understand why I was going to drink wine and broccoli...). We had a half hour wait for the train at Blackfriars, so I suggested going over the road to the Black Friar pub for a swift one, on the basis that it looked "cute". We didn't leave until closing. It is possibly one of the nicest pubs I've ever been in. |

- Today I celebrated New Year's Eve. No, I'm not mental, Chinese or following some old-time, abandonned calendar: I was participating in the lie that is television. Everything you see on TV is fake, apart from the moon landing of 1969, that was genuine. |

- Wednesday morning, I felt fine. No problems at all. I went to synergise (a yoga/pilates/tai-chi combo thing), worked and cooked dinner as normal. But as I was watching the end of season I/start of season II of the West Wing I noticed that I was gradually starting to feel shitter. A bit bunged up. |

- Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a lovely picture of the full Moon with the colours inverted to bring out the fine detail which is normally swamped by the glare from the brighter parts of the surface when you observe with the naked eye.The large version of the image is especially fine, with the craters at the bottom and right edge of the image really standing out as the sunlight picks out their contours. Were it not for Earth's atmosphere and the effects of weather and erosion, that's what our planet's surface would look like.... |

Not so live (Dec 12 2003 12:00 GMT) - Live: Champions League draw.OK, I was listening to Radio 5 (over the internet) to catch the Champions League draw. I also had open the above page (may move as the BBC are prone to do).Thing is, I happened to refresh the page after hearing the first two teams drawn and was surprised to see the first 5 games already listed? |

- Snackspot reports: Just to put to rest any concerns over my apparent slide into alcoholism, I mainly bought this because of the astonishing handwritten-font story on the side, which explains that this is "Woodstock Genuine Kentucky Bourbon born in the Old South, charcoal filtered and slowly wood aged to capture that premium mellow flavour. It's the time-honoured dedication to quality that has remained unchanged for many generations." Odd then, that they should then choose to mix it with what tastes like Cola straight out of a Soda Stream. Nonetheless, kudos to Independent Distillers (UK) for apparently succeeding where cheesy-ad experts Jack Daniels have failed, as The Grocer reports that punters found their Black Jack whiskey and cola alcopop "too expensive" (ginger ale based Tennessee Gold remains "on test", however). |

- Thoughts about the Preamble (quoted earlier):I like that it states that Europe is a continent of immigrants, and the long time-scale over which this has happened. The reference to humanism is also welcome, and that it's tempered by a mention of the important of religion in European thought. Two things that make me uneasy about this:Most of the proposed amendments to the Preamble are about inserting references to Christianity. |

- I did attempt NaNoWriMo this year, in the end. I have a few problems with their rationale, but as an excuse to force myself to write more fiction it was a convenient train to board. I didn't last all that long. After some thought, I think there were three reasons for this. Firstly, I can't generate plot. |
