Techno-cool or pathetic and boring?

It's Friday night and I'm sitting on my couch watching the Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers as well a watching Peter Ebdon take on Marco Fu in the Snooker World Championship. Both are streaming videos on my computer.

Does this make me a savvy sports fan, taking full advantage of the technological wonders of the 21st century? Or does it make me a guy sitting alone on his couch watching two sports most people think are pretty damn boring?

I suppose the correct answer is 'all of the above.'

But hey, I can be cool too: I'm also keeping an eye on Green Wing, which is on the TV in the background

Decamillenialus

Today is my decemillenialus, my 10,000th dailyversary, my 10k day. Today I am 10,000 days old.

It is one of those things that might very well have passed me by but a friend of mine, who celebrates his birthday about a month before me, invited me to celebrate his 10,000th day and I realised that mine was coming soon as well.

So, today I am having a little get together at The Spaniard's Inn in Hampstead, north London. I sent out a very sarcastic e-vite to some friends asking them to come along. The point of it really is to just get some people together and spend a lazy Sunday afternoon together.

I did get some guff from people telling me that 10,000 days isn't all that important because it isn't a milestone year. I think that is real bs. It has taken me more than 27 years 4 months to get this far. Most milestones come every couple of years. 10, 16, 21, 30, 40 etc. Plus, this is a big number!

Anyway, I'll let my loyal readers know how it went.
