Quickie (563)

Went Swanning on Friday having flown in. Bumped into Lee, having dragged Mogs out too. Fun evening. Too much beer.

Did my currency exchange and grabbed post from the post ofice on Saturday morning, dumped Mogs' old bed and the chair and chest of drawers from his room. Bought cheap foods and awaited...

Exploring. (572)

Went for a wander round the Prenzlauer Berg district last night — found a marvellous bar called Zum schmutzigen Hobby — reminds me of a sex mad, campier version of the George and Dragon in Shoreditch. The wallpaper in the toilets is made entirely of hardcore p...

Berlin (549)

Things that are fun about Berlin.

Getting the tube home at 4am.

The fact it has been snowing heavily for two days and still not only is there a bus to take me to work, but it’s on time.

A lack of drunk people on the streets at 10pm.

Coffee.

Pretty pretty snow.

Double decker trains.

Smoking in...

off soon (503)

Oddness. Am off to Berlin soon, if all goes to plan – but things don’t always. I’m expert at looking at possibilities, probabilities and actions but if too many things happen all at once I get so very lost. It’s strange. So I’m being all unpredictable and introverted at the momen even though it achi...

Counting minutes (365)

Every single second that passes brings you closer to death. Your choice is to sit back and wait for that death or make every single second of your life count.

My code is compiling, so I’m randomly blogging as I do. I could simply stare off into space, but I have a time set aside for that.

My k...

bofh. (579)

so very tired.

Tired of waiting.

Tired of watching.

Tired of not doing.

Things are changing.

But nothing changes quick enough.

People rise

And people fall

Someday soon

We will shine.

I sold out. (535)

I kissed a bear and I liked it!

...I’ve just ordered a shiny new Macbook Pro to replace both my Air and my Dell.

I feel dirty 😞

In other news, on call, so not been doing much. Seem to have ended up on call over christmas and new year which is a bit irritating.

A month until I go on holiday with Liam, think we’re both looki...

The philosophy of least resistance (676)

When I was lil, I had a Religious Education teacher. At heart, he didn’t want to be there, so his lessons were an exercise in banality with him mouthing the words of the syllabus and the majority of us taking the opportunity to nap.

He went on to be a very successful used car salesman, a job that...

Flu (627)

After last year’s amazing fluness, I’ve decided to have a flu jab this year. So I’ve spent since Tuesday feeling like I have mild flu. Grr.

Don’t seem to be sleeping too well, which is annoying as I’m not hugely focussed at work.

Acquired Mercury Rev’s new album. It’s pretty. There’s also a fr...

Ow (566)

British Gas let me view my energy consumption as a funky graph. But I’m suspecting that it might possibly have some issues. Either that or I’m dead every other month...

Boing (586)

So now I have a macbook air that runs Vista 😁

I think this is fun. Other people are horrified. I am irritated that the tap functionality doesn’t work in Apple’s driver for the multitouch pad... Bah.

This weekend I may get some stuff done. This weekend I may get some other stuff attempted. I am ...

God I’m old... (658)

34. I got a pony from Liam (ok, a Cats in Paris DVD and a windchime, but I’m calling it a pony), some phonecalls from other people, all my old DVDs and books back from Owen and an executive ball scratcher from Jamie. Justin got a ticket for parking in my visitor bay and everyone else got filled with...

Power (777)

So I let down my guard

Soak myself in the countryside

Envelop my skin in green

Sink into blackness

Held firm against the darkness

Until I decide it’s time

To arise, renewed, and walk

Fresh and clean I return

So I force my guard to stay

Soak myself in my own bitterness

Envelope my skin in...

fucked (687)

When you work out that what you’re ab out is more about being right than about other people, it’s bad. It doesn’t stop the fact I’m right, but means I have to bow out and reevaluate things. Because I’m not everyone’s rock, I’m not entirely accurate 100% of the time, I just have a gift for seeing tru...

She Wants Revenge... (707)

...have released a new EP. Which reminded me I meant to post the lyrics to a hidden track on their last album. It makes me thoughtful 😊

He’s losing the girl now

His feelings overwhelm her so

Thirty three Feet West. (560)

The Large Hadron Collider didn’t kill anyone, which is unsurprising as it was only fired up for a full speed test. People never listen — been feeling pretty shite recently, so apologies to anyone who got it in the neck from me. Blah. I’m kinda lucky I have a Liam sometimes...

New month. New Labour! (730)

So it’s once again my birthday month. This week I’m celebrating the fact by being on call and spending most of my Friday evening trying to keep a shop online.

Saturday was spent chilling out, bought a desk for Liam and dumped it at his — ran off to Covent Garden and admired some lovely camping e...
