Well I've pretty much recovered from last weekend, although my throat's still not back to normal, and I'm starting that it's probably a cold waiting to happen. Meh.
One thing I didn't mention last week is that I treated myself to a shiny new toy (a Pentax Optio s5i for the people who like gadgets). Very shiny, very small, very cute. I have an urge...

Well that's definitely the most hardcore weekend I've had in a *long* time. 
Friday i joined various people in Camden to help celebrate Kirsty's birthday. Much drinking, moshing and leaping about and utterly f***ing my neck up. Very loud. Very fun (except for the long journey home afterwards).
After only 4 hours sleep I got up Saturday to head to Wantage (not Northampton) for...

too metal for me? you must be joking right?
actually, i dont know what you are talking about because i spend most of my time sitting at home wishing i had something fun to do and wishing i had new tunes to listen too, but i'm lazy--and overworked until summer due to work and school and what not. maybe i will check some stuff out so i dont feel so naive next time you mention something to me.

nin on wednesday for me. 
i saw system of a down (actually one tickets off the radio for signing chop suey on the air--embarrassing ) a while back. i got knocked out in the middle of the show. i was in the pit desparately trying to get out (i tend to get too beaten up in there, and i'm too small to protect myself sometimes), so when a song would stop, id push to the edge, but then another would start up and i'd be back in the middle before i knew it. anyway, during one of the song breaks, i turned around to push myself back to the edge again, and all i saw was a foot flying right at my face. next thing i know some dude had me in his arms and was carrying my to the door of the venue to allow some fresh air in my lung. turns out a crowd surfer kicked my in the forehead. ouch! it was a lot of fun

Had to fight to hang onto my cowboy hat as everyone wanted to try it on/steal it, plus met some guy whose band (The Model? The Modern? I forget)...

Well this week I've been grappling with my electric guitar and have been learning fast. Apparently the Washburn Mercury Series has a shorter neck and doesn't like detuning much. And it doesn't like really heavy gauge strings either. I also didn't realise what a total c*** the Flloyd Rose tremolo system is when you change your gauge. However, after discovering Ernie Ball do a custom...

You just inspired me to put 'White Pony' on ..fine album , defintely my fave 
Im thinking about seeing Constantine myself , looks enjoyably stupid and I suppose I should give Keanu a 2nd chance after the debacle of those Matrix sequels.

Well here I am again and it's Friday again, thank god. I'm not sure if it's the continuously oppressive weather but I've been a bit on the tetchy side today. Actually it's probably not the weather at all, more like getting stuck with a bunch of s***ty tasks today with not enough time to do them, plus my boss being totally oblivious to how under-resources...

It took me years of *saying* before I got serious about the writing. I pretty much woke up one day and decided there was simply no other way that I was going to be happy in ten years, so I set to.
This weekend was mostly spent playing cards and watching the LOTR DVDs (again). Big wuss that I am, I'm totally sucked into the documentaries and the commentaries to do with the making of the movies, and at several points it brought a tear to my eye. For example. Viggo was such a nice chap that when one of the stunt riders said she couldn't afford...

So I'm back from sunny Belper (somewhere between Derby and Nottingham) and apart from it being bloody freezing it was damn good fun (as expected).
Pretended to be a Roman Legionnaire (Neverwhere), a Narn special forces agent (B5), a WWII superhero soldier (Godlike) and Winona Ryder (don't ask). Plus played tons of Burnout 3 on the Xbox and discovered a new dice game called Perudo....

Excuse the thickness but what's with the cowboys and that? Where on earth do you find out when 20+ people all want to go and dress like cowboys and do whatever it was you were doing?
My mind is boggling. (But not in a bad way).

Well I'm outta here shortly for the deepest, darkest, midlands. Apparently we have at least 40% chance of snow this weekend, so we could well be trapped in out little cottage by a blizzard or summat. If only we had invited Eric Roberts so we could have eaten him in an emergency. Well, there will be games, and booze, which should be fun. As long...

Hope the gaming went well. I threw some spectacular dice myself this weekend, though certainly not at the sort of volumes I suspect your were seeing.
Well Valentines has been and gone, and it wasn't really that painful. I got a mystery card (posted by my mum I suspect as usual) but otherwise managed to pass through the day without any other romantic reference (except for people mentioning it on board such as these).
The gig last night was kinda cool, kinda mixed feeling really. First off I go in at...

My lord, that's spectacularly gamey. The high water mark of my gaming life was shortly after college. I was running two weekly games, and freelancing for white wolf. Ah, those were the days. Now, I have to schedule ahead to be able to make my one monthly game. Envy envy envy.
dollfac3:
Yer been good today and eating healthy n stuff.... but still got lurgy...lol WHO gave me it!!! Bastards...lol
And so another weekend looms. Thank christ it's Friday. Should be a fairly low-key weekend what with me being so skint and occupied with DIY activities. 
Plus writing up what I have planned for my trip away next weekend. 20 guys and gals, lots and games, and lots of booze. Should be a great laugh as always, and just what I need to reinvigorate myself...

Being single is really not that bad.
If I wasn't with my gf I would be very cautious about getting involved with anyone. In fact I was, as Mr T would put it, 'hella cautious' about becoming involved with her.
Having affection on tap is nice but having the freedom of a single dude is, at least in my book, slightly nicer.
Have a splendid one!

I don't think it was theme or composition, or the set would have been rejected earlier in the process than it was. I made it down to the last step, which means that it had to have been a problem they couldn't correct in Photoshop, but believed they might have been able to at the outset of the process. That leads me to believe the culprit was probably shoddy image quality.
I could be wrong, and I did email Missy in hopes of finding out for sure, but that's my guess.
