I'm posting mainly on LiveJournal at the moment, but I'll in due course remember to copy and paste the entries here too. To summarise briefly the time since I last posted here:

-Smoking again.
-Flatmate pissed me off, now sorted.
-Scott pissed me off, now sorted.
-Yo La Tengo were, as always, mindblowing. There's a reason they're my favourite band.

So the quitting smoking didn't happen.

Mainly because Monday was AWFUL. Such a shit day... and to quote Airplane; "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking."

Another date will be set in due course, but for now, I'm still loving smoking. However, this time I'm serious. I WILL quit this time.

Also my friend Scott is staying with me this week. Tuesday...

I am quitting smoking.

I have not smoked so far in November (excepting the late night which bled into the small hours on Hallowe'en).

It's 5pm on the 2nd and I'm not too bad. I'm chewing pens a lot, but apart from that I'm currently pretty good. I don't have any significant cravings at the moment, but I'm sure they're in the post.

I have inexplicably ended up on an advert on national TV. It's for the new Seasick Steve album, they have a shot of me bobbing my head in slow motion... no idea why!

This is the only online link I can find. Refresh the page until you get the Seasick Steve banner (sometimes takes one refresh, sometimes twenty) then roll over. I'm a few...

This is the first time I've had an evening hangover in a long while... it's a weird phenomenon, that generally occurs when you've been drinking most, if not all, of the night.

Here's the 7-step hangover cure, as practiced, perfected and prescribed by myself, Dr. Chris Harding.

1) Tea. You will need tea. Coffee will not suffice. Take it black, or maybe with some...

This is the first night I've had since last Thursday where I haven't been piss-drunk, or at least tipsy. Drying out feels good.

As an aside, why the fuck can I not stop listening to this song? It's everything I hate, but there's something about the production that I can't get enough of.

I'm going to preface this entry by saying that I'm borderline tipsy right now, which means that I mean everything I'm saying but that I'm loose enough to actually open up.

I'm pretty much sick of everyone here at the moment. I'm sick of people who think they're my friend, but only call on it when it suits them. For example, a 'friend' I'll call...

I'm just putting this out here, but right now, and for the past few days on and off, I am and have been horny as fuck.

I went to see the Pixies last night in London, and if you get the chance to ever go and see them, GO. Wouldn't advise standing at the front if you're under 6' though (I'm 6'1" and there were many people smaller than me getting crushed).

I'm aiming to become more active on this site. We'll see how that goes.

Last night's show was recorded...

Wow, I'm usually so good with keeping this blog up to date! Strangely enough, I haven't blogged in ages!

The two key elements in my life right now are as follows:

-Yay! I got a job! Working for Marks & Spencer, whom I have worked for twice before so I aced the interview and hope to start in the next few weeks when the shift...

I have a ticket for sale to see the Pixies in Glasgow on the 4th of October:

I paid 57.25 for the ticket (tout site, I was desperate to see them!) but I can't attend any more as I received my timetable for my second year of uni and I couldn't get back from Glasgow in time for my 9am start the following day. It's...
