Ah.. Another journal entry full of nothing. As usual. The past few days has been OK. Other than my folks piling on the pressure for me to be gainfully employed, that is. It seems the ENTIRE Manchester design community has gone 'arse over' and stopped hiring. I personally blame MOONFISH for just being the megolithic ubercorp and snaffling all the good design contracts. Pretentious t*ts!...

Well, hello there! I'm back at last! All new harddisk, no more computer woes. After 4 attempts at installing Windows, my legit copy failed and I had to resort to borrowing a 'not so legit' version from a friend. So much for honesty, eh?
I really missed this site while I had no computer. Very glum, was I. I must shortly reply to all you...

Hey, I miss ya.
Are you already set up and all in the new place... you wannabe Manc, you?
And sorry for the late response, god school's killer again,
but I nearly always miss my sis, unless she's right beside me or at least in the same room as me. Maybe it's different for most siblings. We're just desperately close.
Are there any new pics?? Want to see inky blackness and hills you speak of!

It's time I typed some stuff on here. Things have been pretty quiet since last week. I've been pretty lonely out here. Other than riding my bike and working in the garden I haven't been doing an awful lot. Mainly down to lack of funds, trips out are a definite no no. It's pretty staggering that I've managed to last nearly two months on 52...

You're going to love Derbyshire, Greg. I promise.
Be sure to pop into Derby occasionally to avail yourself of the excellent Reveal Records shop.
I thoroughly recommend any and all gigs at the Vic Inn too, just opposite the train station. Handy, that.
You'll adapt to the Buxton life easily, knowing you. Just don't forget to make regular forays into the neighbouring cities to keep yourself sane.
Put me down on the list of future visitors. We can set up a still round the back of your rural idyll and brew up potato gin for the cold winter nights.

I threw a six and lo, my computer starts! Smashing, indeed, it WILL be smashed just as soon as my new HD arrives. I can then look forward to installing all my favourite programs A*G*A*I*N and quietly weep over my lost mp3s. Damn you faulty hardware!
No news on the job front, sadly. Although I was politely informed there would be no assistance, as such,...

Update. Got to type quickly. Hard disk fucked... Don't know how long it will keep alive. The MBR's gone and registry is corrupt, so prone to locking up and won't then work for another few hours...
Loads of work gone. Ropey connection. The site has turned into one broken link. It looks friggin weird too! Don't quite know how I've got it to work this...

Well, you know, sometimes a swift kick in the piehole will fix just about anything... or break it completely, forcing you to get a new one.
good luck!
good luck!
Bollocks! I was outbid for the "Sony Microcassette Dictaphone" on ebay by a poxy 50p. I hate that, swines wait til I'm out for the afternoon and pip me minutes before the sale is about to close!

An update is overdue...
Finally got home after a nice visit to my mates house in Widnes. It's now pitch black and raining outside. The boughs of the trees are close enough in the dry, when it rains it almost makes the buildings disappear! I don't mind either way, though, since the house is always warm and welcoming! Headed out yesterday for a pint or...

Arf, arf... Do me a favour, would you? Let me know what you think of the wee Brummie band supporting Rancid (the Fight, I think they're called). I need to i nterview them during the week...

You asked if I STILL kick and throw around piles of leaves? The answer to that can be found in my candids- I uploaded a few pics from last autumn there just for your sake.
I'd best move that journal entry out of the way....
Today I made my mind up to STAY on SG. Maybe it wasnt such a good time to get back on here, yesterday. It was touch and go for a moment or two.

Hi Mr V,.....
reading between the lines, I take it you've had a rough weekend huh ? Hope you're feelin happier. I've just had a couple of days away taking stock of things too. Not much clearer mind, but hey,... i got away for a couple of days !
A nice Boddies sounds good,....i'll raise a glass to you tomorrow lunch time as a good wish to you being called back regarding the job. Just don't tell JSA yet. What they don't know won't hurt them, and you don't want complications now do you ? They'll only cock things up if you tell them in advance,....I worked there for 10 years, so believe me, I know !
A toast to you sir,....be true to yourself and true to your word, take care of your own, and sod the world !

emo grrls are quite hot. damn. and i am so ignorant that the emo music scene is actually still quite interesting to me, despite how often some people make fun of it. is this bliss...? prob'ly.
me weekend always consists of work. ick. i swear i was probably disgustingly white-collar in a past life... not that i balk at hard work. but i do often wish i could just lie on cushions all day long while other people tend to the daily things i forget are important. what a lazzzy bitch i am today! perhaps i should get some kip and stop typing.
...nah.
