Someone please explain to me the point of tonsils. I've been knocked down for a big fat week by the little bastards.
On the plus side, however, it does mean
a) I've had some really trippy dreams. The filmic one with John Cleese as inspector Clouseau in a grim, rainy Edinburgh, taking place largely in cathedrals and museums (particularly a "museum to comedy") clad in...

No update for three weeks. Almost four. In fact, exactly four.
Still, shit happens - it's been a busy few weeks. Mainly with work (man's gotta eat) but also with iPod. I think I'm a bit besotted with it. I mean, getting a portable digital radio changed my life - or my journey to work, at least - but this thing has made a big...

Ah, life is peachy. No more work for a few days, so just sleeping in. All my Christmas shopping is done as well.
And the local supermarket has ready-made mulled wine - just heat it and add brandy. Mmm, I'm beginning to feel festive already.
So, merry Christmas, feliz Natal and joyeux Noel to anyone and everyone...

Fuck this. Honestly, what is the fucking point?

Sometimes life is difficult.
More specifically, relationships are difficult. I'm not convinced there is such a thing as an easy relationship. (Of course, I'm making sweeping assumptions about the nature of people though, rather than just the nature of people I've been out with.)
We all have double standards. We all have different definitions of "the worst thing you could possibly do to me". We...

I have flowers. I have wine. I have Television's Marquee Moon on the Stereo (and some ROCK coming from Amazon). Yay! Off out for three days of parties...! 
Today I feel like shit. Probably through lack of sleep. Transplants have a way of fucking things up.
Still, it meant I felt that a big old caffeine high was in order for the morning, so I've been pouring espresso down my throat for a fair chunk of the day. And all that time my mind (unsurprisingly) was buzzing and shooting off on all kinds...

This week is half-term, so I don't have (evening) classes. This theoretically means I get home on time and can have a leisurely dinner in front of the TV, or surf the net, or drink beer, or play video games.
However, for reasons unknown to me, my subconscious appears to have decided that I need to step up the extra-curricular activities to fill the gap....

Thank you! 
I miss Boston. One of my friends from there - well, actually from Jersey, but I met her when we were both living there - just got engaged, and it reminded me of what a great time we had.

It's beem a little while since I listened to SuperUnknown (that's Soundgarden's finest, for the uninitiated), and I had forgotten how beautiful it was. The way Chris Cornell's voice segues into Kim Thayil's guitar, supported by Cameron & Sheperd's powerful rhythm section.
"She lived like a mother but she died so sweetly..."
And the greatest solo in the history of guitar.
Sorely missed indeed...
