It's been a long, long time right? My bad, no excuses or apologies. Like my old Therapy? tee that I found again recently says, "never apologise, never explain". But really I just got out of the habit of writing here to be honest, nothing more significant than that. I know that there's a good chance that as a result I have excactly zero readers left ( Read more... )

Just bought the new Jimmy Eat World album. The reviews were mixed. The first track to be honest gave little away (Jimmy opening tracks often don't I find). Within seconds of the second track beginning I felt like I always feel the first time I listen to a Jimmy Eat World album, simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric. They remain excellent. Thank ( Read more... )

So you probably thought I'd died (or more realistically that I'd just given up on the livejournal gig). I should probably apologise but that's just the way my life has moved of late people and as I'm pretty satisfied with the direction that it's gone in I won't be saying sorry anyway and you, I'm afraid, will just have to deal with. This will ( Read more... )

So being back in classes is kinda cool. It'll be cooler when things at work are resolved and I can cut back to my prefered 25 hours or so a week. This week I have 32-40 depending on which way Friday rolls. It also means that Tuesday to Thursday seeing me working from 8 to 5 and then going to class from 6.30 to 9.30. Anybody who has read this for ( Read more... )

Started my masters. Yesterday technically though my first class is tonight. It's good to be back. I am still moving forwards it seems. My old lecturers were all pleased to see me. Even the woman in the SU shop welcomed me back fulsomely.

Hung out with Keith a bit these last few days. We've started a new game of Football Manager and assembled ( Read more... )

So it's been an age since I updated and for that I apologise but I've not been spending as much time online of late. For the most part this has more to do with the crazy amount of time I've spent working of late than any major changes to my life but that's just an excuse really. Anyway I am here now and while I intend to rush this entry somewhat ( Read more... )

Here's to Keith's dad, we watched the world cup final together last summer and he thanked me once for being such a good friend to his son. Rest easy Paddy man, may you now a peace that eluded you in life ( Read more... )

The fields of life are burning
The children running free
And every word and every sound
Was made for you and me

A bank holiday weekend
With nothing much to do
There's not a moment wasted
When it's only me and you

Chorus:
It's a chance to live, a chance to laugh
Escape from any sorrow
We can stay up really late
And call in sick tomorrow

You fell asleep on the ( Read more... )

So on a reasonably funny note my dad was going to Portugal yesterday, got up to the check in and discovered that his passport expired two weeks ago. So he had to send his partner, her granddaughter and my sister on their way without him. He flew out this morning cursing the irony of checking everybody's passport but his own last week ( Read more... )
