A few updates for you all.
Concerning my plans to do an MA. Am I still doing this? Hell yes, but I've decided to do it in 2009 and not this year. This will give me more time to save money and plan. I'm still looking at either Bristol or Edinburgh at the moment. Of course the extra time will also allow me to look into the possibility of skipping right to a PhD. I do already know what I want to study but on the other hand the last time I did any real academic work was 2003 and I worry that leaping right into a full blown PhD would be a little extreme. I'd probably cope though, I am a lot tougher than I look. And I'm strangely confident that I could talk people into letting me do it, I'm passionate and highly interested in what I want to study and the questions I wish to examine.
Work is OK, gearing up for the next big show, long couple of weeks approching. Oh well, nothing we can't handle I'm sure.
I'm currently waiting for the first volume of this to arrive:
I'm looking forward to it, from what I've heard it maybe right up my street.
Oh and in the world of comics I am currently still just picking up trades and to be honest haven't missed singles at all. And I am very much buzzing on Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse. It's written and drawn by Ben Templesmith who is probably my favourite comic book artist. It's one of the few books that engages me plot and characterwise and makes me laugh, it helps that the humor in question is black as hell. I was going to stick a picture of it here but I just found this very fucking cool youtube trailer for it instead,
And finally in the land of music I am enjoying many things, one of them being Future Of The Left.
Take care and ask yourself this Do you know where your children are tonight?

I made some bad decision after I left uni but to cut a long and frankly dull story short it lead to the situation where I joined this site and through that I got some great friends etc etc
see though, thats what i mean, i dont regret the bad decisions because they've usually meant that i've had to do something for myself that's been maybe hard but worth it...so it's not like i go into things thinking "i cant do this, i'll regret it.." but more like "okay, lets see where this goes..."
y'see?
