Changing times
Last night I spent a few minutes flicking through some old journal posts to see what I was doing this time last year. There's a good record actually. I'd forgotten until now that this time last year I set myself the challenge of updating my journal every single day during the month of April. A far cry from today's pathetic once a month posting you might say and you'd be right.
Back then I only had the one blog to update and more time to do it in, what with not having a job. I think the extra free time allowed me to do more stuff than I do these days. Certainly by this point last year I'd been to the cinema nearly 20 times, whereas this year I've managed just two visits so far.
Live Journal was also more popular back then, at least with people I know. Facebook still hadn't let me on and so this was the place where most of my online time was focused. Clearly I put a lot of effort into my posts back then as some are actually funny. More socialising took place last easter than this. I guess everyone had more free time, what with not having to do dissertations all the time. We braved a picnic on the green, a hat party, Dave's roast chicken and a birthday party before the holiday ended.
This year I seem to have spent most of my time working on the video edit of Iolanthe for aralias. Sadly computer troubles keep slowing the job down, but hopefully I'll get there soon.
Not much else to report really, except that my car has gone hack to the MOT place this morning after they messed up the wheel balance last month while changing the tyres. It's been quite an uncomfortable driving experience since then I can tell you!
On Sunday I return to Bristol, but that is then and now is now which is also breakfast time, which is where I'm going now.
Laters.
