This website was down for the last 24 hours or so, because my credit card failed to validate.  Now, how can something that worked for the last four years not work properly now, particularly as it worked when they processed it over the phone?

In this blog I have I have previously detailed our trip to Paris. We have also stayed in Hilton hotels, and I have used the words "fucking" and "download".  And now, I am being listed on a web page with links to download a video.  You know the one.  Paris Hilton certainly does.  And now apparently you can download it here.  Yay.

So I'm sitting here,  being pretty anti-social, and listening to Mark Geary with my new Bose QuietComfort™ 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones.  I ordered them last Monday, and they arrived here this afternoon, when I was in work.  That pissed me off no end - I had to wait about four hours to try them.  As it is, I've just gone through dinner with Anna while wearing them ;-)  Anyway, suffice to say that they're incredible. I've waited a LONG time to find headphones that are this comfortable, and sound this good. Of course, I should have tried Bose first, but I didn't... I tried all manner of cheap shit first. I've been through two pairs of Sennheisers too - one that lasted me for about ten years, and were fantastic, and one that lasted me 4 months, and were also fantastic, but now don't work. So now I have these, and they're worth the price I think.

It looks like I didn't have a chance to post while I was here, and this is the first time I've gotten to a PC since getting out of the office.  I'm not going to post much either, but we're having a brilliant time.  We've been to Anna's dig, King City, San Luis Obispo, LA, Santa Barbara, Monterey and now San Francisco, and there's just too much to talk about.  I'll get a decent post done as soon as I get back to London.  We've also picked up the images from LA and Santa Barbara, and they're great.  Anna had her photos developed today too... all eight rolls of them ;-)  Anyway, gotta run...
