So.  My life has become somewhat of a mixed bag.

As a most of you will probably know, my grandad passed away almost two weeks ago.  It's his funeral on Friday.  Because he was so ill for such a long time I think I've done most of my grieving and I'm not really very sure how I'm meant to, or how I will, act at his funeral.

I met my mum for lunch a few ( Read more... )

So!  2010 is on the way out.  Here are my highs and lows etc for the year.  I kind of love this little tradition I have going here - this will be my third year running now.  It's nice to look back and see what happened in the year and what I've achieved.

There will probably be a "Stuff that I did this year" post up at some point as well.  I was ( Read more... )

I am supposed to be going to sleep, but I have not had the energy/time to write up a proper account of the Fabinet Meet Up of Epic.  So, as a stopgap, I leave you with these two photos and a list.

( Ba Da Ba Da Ba Ba HEY! )

I really should do one of these summaries closer to the year end.
So, as I sit here, sipping from a glass of red and listening to Soulwax's end of year MixMag disc, I will finally finish this!

Things that happened in 2008

Good Things
+ I got conseling and realised that life isn't generally all that bad.
+ I realised I have a lot more friends, and good ( Read more... )

Yeah...so that hasn't happened.  Again.

I have, however, uploaded the newest version of Adobe Flash (so THAT was why I couldn't play any YouTube clips!) and scoured several music blogs for rips of songs from Annie Mac's Mini Mix from almost two months ago.  Found a good amount of music too.  It's going to be nice not to have to fast forward through ( Read more... )

HERE.

I saw Amanda Palmer at the KOKO a few Fridays ago.  I'll possibly do a VERY over-due review, but be assured it'll all be along the lines of "IT WAS THE AWESOME!!!"

This particular clip is of Half Jack.  The intro is so...well, I can barely describe it.  I couldn't see a damn thing due to the 8 ft guy in front of me, so I'm looking at the top of ( Read more... )

I just lay on my bed with all the lights and LEDs and my computer screen off but my speakers on and listened to M83 - MIDNIGHT JUGG RMX Shadows (from his myspace).  I've gotten new speakers - thus the ability to turn off my screen but continue to listen to music (it has attached speakers).  The new speakers require a better soundcard than I have at ( Read more... )

I'm not sure I can fully express the awesomeness that my last few weeks have been.  Like, I'm in a totally calm state because it exceeds capslock  - like a blissful version of the "I'm talking quietly because I'm so disappointed in you that it's worse than shouting."

I saw the Ukulele Orchestra on the 12th July in Aylesbury.  They were the AWESOME ( Read more... )

Right.  Well.  Yes - First post of the year.  God, that's so freaking weird to think about!  For the last year and a half or so it's just been one day after another and there's just been NO definite holiday boundaries.  But, yeah - two weeks ago it stopped being 2007.

Thank God.

Last year didn't end on a particularly good note.  And it didn't really ( Read more... )

Aaaahahahahaa, I just did the geekiest thing.

I'm stupidly vain, and thus - my webcam pics are all just me posing in about four thousand different positions/facial expressions on about three different occassions.  Also - I'm a bit of a horror freak (blame it on Amy - she's the Zombie Queen)

Anyway - I just flicked through all the photos I've ever ( Read more... )
