Still not feeling the effects of my supposed disease.
I'm quietly hopeful that I've shaken it off without suffering the major symptoms. I'm even thinking about going out for a few beers tonight - I'll stick to bottles to ensure there's no risk of spreading the infection to anyone.

Went to see Sin City. Fucking tops. Best film I've seen in a while. I haven't...

So far I've not suffered to bad with the old Glandular Fever.
I've taken a couple of days off to ensure that I'm rested (I'll probably have a fairly low-key weekend as well).
I had a few joint aches last night but not much today.
It's now been a week and a half so I'm hoping that for once I'm being given a break.

I...

I'll try this again...

Found out that I've got glandular fever (otherwise known as mono). Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Could fucking send me home early. Only got 4 weeks to go as well. Fuck!

Pissed off at the moment. For obvious reasons. Don't even know where I got it. Unfortunately it wasn't from kissing anyone.

Fuck knows. I have it - I need to...

What a dull day I had today.

At the end of work I went and bought myself Dawn Of The Dead (the remake) and City Of Lost Children.
Currently watching Dawn Of The Dead - not a patch on the original but then they never are.
I'm really happy about City Of Lost Children. The UK version only comes dubbed. I don't want to sound...

So it's Easter and for the first time, I'm really missing family.
I got a phonecall from my folks and it seems that there was a mass family gathering (as usual).

I just bummed around here in San Jose (Santa Clara if you want to be picky). Went to the local mall to kill time and found out that it was closed. Surely in the...

Back in San Jose having been in Los Angeles and Baltimore.
Was hoping to go out tonight but I'm loaded with the cold and currently taking TheraFlus.

Currently listening to Scotland vs Italy. Italy have just scored . Chances of qualification were pretty much fucked anyway due to a little German called Berti.
Hey-ho - I'll just need to support whoever plays against England.

I'm...

Trying to update more regularly.

Other than usual work stuff the only thing that happened was that I experienced my first tremor since being in California.

I think it was off of Manhattan Beach.

Just fucked up my dinner for tonight so I'll either have to starve or get take-out. My belly could do with me keeping off the fast-food .

Flying out east tomorrow....

I know I'm not a regular updater but it's been a while

I'm now based in San Jose
It's technically Santa Clara but it's much of a muchness.

I don't want to offend anyone from the Silicon Valley area but I think it's a hole. Sorry. It definitely doesn't compare to Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles where I had a vast variety of bars within a...

Went to Santa Anita Racecourse today.

Unfortunately I only won 2 of 8 - nowhere near picking 6 winners to get the $1,000,000.

Good mix of people. KROQ were there promoting a mini beer festival (micro-breweries). Didn't go there much - didn't want the temptation of drink given that I had to drive.

Anyway - goodbye City of Angels - it's been an experience and...

Talking shite whilst pissed again...so I had to remove it.

Got NIN tickets today for the Glasgow Barras.
Extremely chuffed now. Seemed to sell out really quickly - 5-10 mins.

Something to look forward to for when I go back to the UK (along with SOAD and possibly Reading).

Also starting to think that I might fancy trying to get an extended stay to the US (after I go back home). Would probably only do...

Again I was talking shite so I've removed it all.
