An update proper, then. First off there are a few new Pics scattered around my folders. Lookee here.

So what have I been up to in my enforced absence? Less than you'd think. Unless you know me, in which case my apathy will be old news to you. I've taken trips to Lancaster and Coventry to visit friends - the latter included playing a gig with Coybito and seeing Mortimer, which was cool as always. Most of the new photos, if not all of them, are her work. Other than that it's been life as usual. My work has become slightly more tolerable due to me receiving a permanent place on one of the teams. It doesn't mean any more money until I bag a contract (although it does make it easier for me to bag one) but it gets me a desk of my own, which makes a lot more difference than you might think.

I've had some positive developments on the housing front, and am possibly moving in with some friends around September which will be a relief. The romance side of things has turned up nothing, with some turbulence along the way. But isn't that always the way? I recorded some vocals for a cover of 'Replica' by Fear Factory this last weekend, with Wrathchild twiddling the knobs. It should turn out interesting.

Oh, and the crazed climate seems to be throwing up some pleasant sunshine inbetween the snow, hail and other non-seasonal weather that has in no way been affected by global warming. Which is bad news for mankind in general, but good for me right now since the sun cheers me up no end.

Monkeys indeed.
