Not much going on.
Not much to report. In January I've been mostly skint, relatively content, was quite stressed about Allie's visa stuff. That seems mainly sorted now. The plan for getting to Gwyn and Lucy's wedding has taken shape, and my jealousy at all the fun the cool kids must have had on the stag and hen nights has faded a little.
I've also been recording my band's music, playing around with it on Audacity, and making weird-ass ambient noise with the results. Anyone know a good drum machine simulator you can get for free off the web?
Oh, and I found this very interesting, in case I forget to mention it to people; http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=58656
It's one of those articles which says what you've wanted to say for you, in a way that's better than you ever could have done. It's the argument I wish someone would put to that talented snob, Margaret 'I don't write Science Fiction, just books about possible futures where society has changed due to the effects of scientific research or environmental catastrophes' Attwood.
Incidentally, I one day hope to find her, and go 'my god! It's you! The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake are right up there with Philip K Dick and Asimov! You're the best science fiction author EVER!' If I have a star trek t-shirt on, and perhaps haven't washed, I might hug her. That'll show her.
