Hope everyone is okay, especially those in London... such tragic timing 
NIN were phenomenal. It was my first "real" gig, and if it were my last i'd not mind one bit. I'm still knackered now, a day later. Rammstein have a lot to live up to next week.
Specs are expensive... 265 with thin lenses and "clumsy ass" insurance. Will be ready next week.

New CD day.
Billy Corgan.... not bad, but I can't forgive the choice of cover version.
Dresden Dolls- in love already, fantastic stuff.
Eagles of Death Metal- will forever remind me of the friend of mine who introduced me to them, looking forward to seeing them live.
Mars Volta- May be an acquired taste. Will listen further.
Funeral for a Friend- sucks. Damn you, SG...

I bought CDs today too: Elvis Costello My Aim Is True and Cat Power Moon Pix and Myra Lee. I've already heard them, so I know I'll like them.
Is it the weather, or is it me? I am always tired at work these days, I even fall asleep in the staffroom on my lunch break. I have no energy.
*Fingers crossed* that eBay will be my friend- i'm selling some photo gear on their at the moment, and I find myself checking their progress every five minutes.

I want new glasses too! I usually wear contacts, and I haven't had a new pair of glasses since I was about 13 years old. My boyfriend just gave me some really awesome frames, and now I want to get lenses for them.

I want to see a picture of the glasses once you get them.
Woohoo! Nice week so far, won't ruin it with self-pitying bullshit...
Went to the end-of-year exhibition a to my old uni yesterday. Lots of fantastic work up, and great to see some old friends. It really seems like yesterday when it was me with my work on the wall...
Was VERY happy with the complimentary comments I got from people regarding my newfound emaciation (exaggeration)....

Goodness, there were people sleeping everywhere at the party I went to on Saturday. As it was in a field inhabited by cows most of the time it wasn't the best idea 
Thinking of building a body of illustrative work. I'd like to put some designs together to send to people like Threadless and Spunky to make t-shirts of. Not that lucrative, but good exposure and it would be fantastic to see stuff i'd made being worn.
Of course, i'm ahead of myself. I have the ideas written down, but first I have to teach myself Ilustrator...

Give it a decade and skule will seem well cool. I thought it would be fun to join the Police. Section whatever of their online application asked, "Why do you want to be a copper?" I wrote "Because I was bullied a school & now it's payback time"

I love random walks, I try to have one at least once a day. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country but I am so bored of it it takes huge effort.
My shades are so pretty I am almost in love with them, for real!!

Right- life upgrade time.
I'm losing plenty weight, but I still look like a lardy lump- just a much lighter lardy lump. I am not building muscle adequately, or getting smaller where it matters (belly, ass). Gyms are too fucking public and sweaty and full of idiots (all hearsay) so i'm going to invest in a little equiment of my own. Not much (I don't...

The NEXT FIVE YEARS will be THE SAME AS THE LAST unless you DO SOMETHING!
Saw this on a promo card for some "work from home" scam at a cash machine a few years ago and it stuck with me, partly because (although the previous five years had been pretty good) I thought I could understand the sentiment. Now, just nine months into the working...

I say do it. Fuck what people call "practicality." It's practical to do something that won't make you hate yourself for the rest of your life.
Buying stuff really suck right now.
My secondhand graphics card arrived non-functioning. Returned to sender for refund.
My eBay-bought remote control arrived in pieces, and I overcame evil temptation to swap if for one I found at work that belonged to someone else....
Returned to sender for refund.
My last Hasselblad lens arrived with a couple of minor faults, which cost another 30 to fix....

Gaaaah, I am one big ball of snot lately.
Phlegm, too.
Started making a conscious effort to watch all those "arty" films on my DVD shelf- started with Seventh Seal, and against my expectations thoroughly enjoyed it. Followed it up with MASH, though... still keepin' it real, yo.
I am hovering, waiting for the all-important text message that will be the GO AHEAD to book...

Luckily I make a lot of compilations for people so a lot of my stuff I got back and friends have been helping out with their own music collections, its just the rare stuff I miss. Can't imagine loosing everything in a fire, or actually I can it is my biggest fear I am uncommonly materialistic and I can't bear the idea. Although I can imagine it would be liberating in a way 
charley:
It's my fault for being inspired by Napolean Dynamite, not a good film for hair related inspiration
This won't do much for my geek cred, but I think i'm getting bored of Everquest II...
EDIT: Okay, turns out i'm not.
Also, weighed myself this morning at a rather splendiforous 171lb- meaning I have passed the magic 1 stone loss mark. A-woohoo, indeed.

Congratulations on losing weight. I stopped smoking and gained weight, now I think Im losing weight. When I smoked my weight never fluctuated but my tooth was brown.
Where does all my money go?
Paid less than 48 hours ago, more than 70% of the money is gone. I thought people lived at home to SAVE???
(Upside, at least 50 of my wage packet has gone towards the new NIN album, an old Modest Mouse album, and Mos Def's last album, as well as a ticket to see Rammstein)
I must now live...

Not until you have watched seasons 1-4 of the best programme ever.
