Freakcity

Long day. Not helped by the vast quantities of beer fruitbat forced down me on Wednesday or the amazing hangover and subsequent oversleeping I did yesterday or the fact that it was the work do last night and so I didn’t get to bed until one.

Much merriment. No drink for me, but drink for eve...

Considering how asleep I was for most of yesterday I got a fair amount done. Multimap still suck though. Slowly getting it to work.

Some Italian bloke has claimed to have found the identity of the woman in the Mona Lisa. It’s apparently Lisa Gherardini who was born in Florence in 1479...

So there’s this political pressure group, right? Called Fathers4sons or something. Keep doing stunts that your average animal rights protestor would be beaten by police for. Yet they don’t get beaten, instead they get on the front page of every trashy newspaper in Britain. Well, I’m sorry, Mr Batman...

Friday I didn’t manage to make it in to work. Felt shite so slept lots too. Didn’t get much done...I’ll have to catch up today.

Deev and Gaz arrived late and them, me, Adam, huggie and RobL all piled down to the Swan for Pam Ann goodness. I think she was a bit trollied though, bles...

...so that’s the second time in two days I’ve walked past a colleague’s PC to see it BSOD as I look at it...

Scary!

Ronnie came over last night...claims to have sorted his life out...heh.

Will phone James later and wish him fun at the wedding, see if he’s still coming to the Swan for Pam Ann tomorrow.

Portugal won, João was happy. England won, the Sun was happy.

Moz is playing Earls Court in Dec. Tickets...

I wrote a really big journal entry yesterday and my T3 crashed and ate it. Gah. Out last night to see Ronnie (Denton243) who failed to turn up. Oh, the comedy. Instead bumped into SpiritusMundiSpit and William in Retro. A few beers later and I’m off home to do stuff for Rochelle and N...

Quiet weekend. Went out after work with some of the web team – then headed to Retro for more drinks with Owen, mage, bromleyben, alamac, dom, space_chicken and a few others who aren’t on the site...chatted lots about IRC sillyness, the state of the world, life and love....

I found this. From when I was with the Mark beast years ago. Freeform poetry 😉

Angry

I feel you inside me

I feel your warmth

I feel you turn over

All contact gone

I feel the need for you

I feel safe

but then

you go again

I feel jealous

I feel rejected

I want to live again

but you a...

We now have an IRC network with services again. 3 servers strong. Rah!

Helping João today with a bit of his band website....or more accurately, bribing Danny with vodka to do it.*giggle*

Thought I’d do the District line today for a change. Haven’t exploded in a ball of fire yet so all is well...

...or so I thought the Sun said this morning... *giggle*

Long time no update, man!

What have I been up to? I hear you cry. All two of you who are reading this...well...I’ll tell ya...

Mostly João has been beating me at solitaire. Oh, and someone broke #queer on IRCNet, which is somehow my ...

I really should write in this bloody thing more often...

James has come to stay, which is nice. Got outrageously wankered on Monday evening – woke up with a sore head, a pre-op transsexual’s calling card on my bedside table and chips everywhere.

Yesterday was spent mostly not moving too fast a...

#queer meet on Saturday. Worked @ home on Friday...felt a bit better about stuff...Deev and Gaz arrived on Fri evening, Ollie as well, so there’s me an two couples...and João on MSN. Bah. Miss him lots still 😊

Earlyish night. Not. Got up at about 9ish tho...they fucked off for the Quazar ...

Mikey looking pretty Toe has scab now but still dribbles and is very painful. Felt a bit better after a few hours without bandages. Chatted to JohnnyIcon on and off throughout the day. Just want to hug him lot...

Off work today, taken it as holiday. Out last night, drinks with work people, then Retro and Karaoke for a giggle.

Toe hurty.

Still, it looks like it’s scabbing at last, and I’ve spent the day without a bandage on it which is a good thing. Had pizza. Chatted with João about random stuff...

Joao amazes me with his ability to make my £20 guitar sound like a real instrument 😁1].jpg Today I feel strong. Yesterday I felt weak. Usually this means I’m not centred and am letting other people hold swa...

Spent my last day yesterday with Mr Rockstar – Wandered around Spitalfield, bought some burgers and sausages as we decided to have an impromptu barbecue...wandered back to the flat for much fluffiness. Adam was there and said hello...Ollie came along a bit later and it was all cosy. The organic burg...

Sat here, couldn’t sleep – been spending more time with Joao – today is probably my last day with him, as tomorrow he’s busy and Tuesday he’ll be flying back to Lisbon. I am going to miss him a huge amount...we have such fun together, silly stuff, that kinda thing. Just walking around with him is ni...

Up until 2am....oopsie.

Went to work. Worked fucking hard. Got a couple of patches into staging. Need to get one more in there and check the images, and then we’ll be there. Launch is now Saturday morning at around 04:30. Fingers crossed!

Got out on time and met Joao at the station. Headed bac...

Still listening to Mr Rockstar’s album. Rah. Suspect Adam may kill me if I don’t stop doing it loudly at home. Fruitbat and I are considering competing with gaydar by launching “oldgayfarts.net”. Think we might not earn billions doing that.

Joao told me he wishes he had me in Lisbon. That’s r...

Had a dream on Saturday morning that I’d got back together with James and that everything in my life was OK again. Then I woke up and felt really shitty. Mentioned it to him on MSN and he just set himself to “busy” and ignored me.

Comedy headline from the Metro this morning is "Becks is the new P...

Went out for a drink after work Рended up being seven and a shot of tooleys. Oopsie. Went to Retro after there to witness the bar being empty on a Friday night because they were playing the Big Brother final̩ live. I tittered. Bought some voddie (bad me) and some fags (bad me) and traipsed home......

Long 9-7 day yesterday. Had a meeting to discuss which front end fixes were desperate and needed to be in the build. Got the team to fix it all. Yay.

Map still fucked though. Need to fix it somehow.

Joao invited himself over to watch Requiem for a Dream. Played me Anastacia on guitar. Damn he'...

Met Joao at Covent Garden at 6ish. Wandered a bit and chatted some, went to the café in the gardens at Embankment so he could watch me eat messily, which was nice. He only took the piss a little. Grr. Still, his English was very good considering he’s only been here 4 times before. Talked lots about ...

Worked from home yesterday on account of feeling remarkably shit. Lumps on my feet and one on my hand have been itching like fuck since they appeared on Monday afternoon. I had to spend the afternoon in bare feet at work as it was a tad unbearable. Got home and watched TV. Shocker. Didn’t even touch...
