Ah well. Running theme of my life seems to be the highs rapidly followed by the really, really lows. Not my own biggest fan right about now, not exactly sure why. I seem to have become this person I don't really like over the last 2-3 years, pretty much since I left uni I suppose. I'm not even sure what exactly it is about myself that I don't ( Read more... )

I did it. It's over. I FINALLY quit the Leadmill (along with pretty much everyone else!) It's the weirdest feeling ever, being "unemployed" again. I mean, I'm not REALLY unemployed, I know full well if I wanted to I could earn more in a week being freelance than I could in the Leadmill, but to all intents and purposes, I don't have any ( Read more... )

While I'm procrastinating from carrying on with my tax return (11% down, but have come to a grinding halt with the self-employed bollocks), and waiting for the toad in the hole to cook, I figured this needed a little updating ( Read more... )

It's been quite an impressive week workwise. Done lights for Gorgol Bordello AND Reverend & The Makers (and actually got to op them as well!) Gorgol Bordello was possibly the most amazing gig I have ever seen, the atmosphere of the crowd was amazing. Makes me wish I'd bothered going to the Arctic Monkeys secret gig in February, since thats the only ( Read more... )

Looking down, I appear to have developed a bit of a belly in the last few weeks. Stress does have a habit of making me eat more, while reducing my activity levels to zero. But even so, I'd hazard a guess at half a stone in the last month? Not good. I guess the pole dancing is a step in the right direction. Wish it was more often, and didn't get ( Read more... )

It started as a bit of a whim. I fancied doing something a bit fitness-y, a bit stretchy, a bit fun, and I came across this woman offering poledancing lessons on Sheffield Forum. Sent her an email, but being non-proactive and, well, me, didn't really do anything about it. Saw on Gemma's profile that she was quite interested in doing poledancing ( Read more... )

While shopping in Boots earlier, we were told that it was 6 weeks until Christmas. This disturbs me somewhat. Where exactly has 2007 gone? Apart from a few odds and sods, it all seems to have passed like ice cream sliding down the throat. Or something. Having the interweb at hom appears to have sucked out any proactivity I had, meaning that ( Read more... )

• Eaten Millies cookies. I'd actually forgotten how absolutely lush they were.... mmmmmmmmmm....
• Gone to Meadowhell. Fairly foolish, I feel, but I felt like spending a lot of money, and got bored of town! Spent an hour dodging chavs and people with prams, then left feeling v drained, but having spent no money (not sure if that is a good thing or not!)

So, it's my mate's birthday today. I mean, I say mate, perhaps not that close, used to see him out at various drinking establishments, and did silly dancing til the wee hours of the morning, not to mention worked god knows how many events with him. So, one of those friends. The ones that are very welcome in your life when they're there, and are ( Read more... )

It's been a fun week, one where sobriety has been exchanged for drunken antics, shitty Leadmill indie cheese has been replaced by Pitchshifter, and being all scared by people at work has been replaced by taking the piss an awful lot. It's been a good week. Now awaiting interesting food and then going disco-opping for the third consecutive night ( Read more... )
