Ok time to update my favourite SGs again. After worrying a lot about seeming like a creep I figure f*** it I might as well pay tribute to some wonderful people I've met in *person* and whom I wholly admire in many different respects. All power to you girls, I am both humbled and inspired...

Well here I am on Monday morning, suffering from back-to-work blues and sleep deprivation.

Saturday was ace. It starting with some silly gaming action at a friend's which quickly turned into a session of drinking all the wine (8 bottles) that got left at his from the party last week. I headed to the ship a little bit wobbly already and although I stopped by...

Thank Crunchie it's Friday. Only 3 more hours to go and I'm outta here. Roll on much silliness and beer tomorrow.

And BTW for those of you who care the hamster is doing fine (fingers xssed).

The highlight of this weekend was a swashbuckling-themed part at a friend's place for his birthday - we put a whole bunch of films on and generally arsed about. I impressed everyone with my DVD of the remake of the Count of Monte Cristo, plus there was Princess Bride, Pirates and A Knight's Tale. Several beers and two bottles of wine later I crashed on...

Well just come back from a fab weekend in the arse end of nowhere with a bunch of mates and a lot of beer.

Over the course of the last few days I've been the ghost of a dead gangster, an exile in a post-apocalyptic world, a Victorian cowboy explorer, an experimental psychologist and a budding rookie superhero....

We're Knights of the Round Table.
We dance whene'er we're able.
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here in Camelot.
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.

We're Knights of the Round Table.
Our shows are formidable,
But many times we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.
We're opera mad in Camelot.
We sing from the diaphragm...

Well Valentines day passed and thankfully I can safely say that I wasn't that bothered. Not that I don't realise that it's a commercial westernised sham anyway, but I can now say that a) I am now safely over the 3.5 year relationship that ended about this time last year, and b) I have also safely extricated myself from a more recent (and possibly mistaken)...

Arsebiscuits. I obviously spoke too soon.
Fate laughed at my mention of good luck, and promptly zapped my hard drive, killing it stone dead. It's taken me two days and 150 to get things back to the point of normality. Grr!!!

Would have loved a beer with the guys tonight, but never mind. There's always Saturday of course!

So do any of the rest of...

Well time for an update I guess.

Catching up with the SGUK crowd on Saturday was fun, and I even managed to nip out to see Breed77 and then make it back for last orders. Lostprophets were cool last night too, although the sound and the show wasn't quite as good as last week (although they did do their cover of Cry Me A River...

Well the XFM Live Session gig with Hundred Reasons and Lostprophets totally rocked! Never been to the Carling Academy before and it turns out its quite small and cosy, albeit a bit pricey and their PA is bloody loud considering. HR had a much better sounds, and were a lot tighter, but the LP were great too, much more energetic live and with humourous Welsh...
