heads-up

This is just here for the user name. The real one's over here.

Forty pounds

And all ruined because I happened to see two drunk people getting off with each other. Utterly ridiculous.

This isn't healthy. I'm beginning to worry for myself.

In other news, the boathouse didn't have any hot dogs, and Lou is looking really quite nice these days, as is Emma, as is Mel, as is Janine. Janine wasn't being very nice last night and I have no idea why. Hopefully go for a drink with Mel tonight and catch up.

My new year's resolution is very likely going to be

Not only should you not tell anyone anything, but you should not inquire about your friends' lives.

My general feeling of satisfaction lasted until about 4am this morning. It depresses me that jealousy causes me to feel so goddamn angry. My ego is ridiculously fragile.

Merry Xmen, everybody

np: Pitch Shifter - Triad (my own "video edit" from the Info? quicktime)

I just found out there's a wysiwyg plugin for Wordpress. Yes. Hope it works as well as this one.

So, yeah, the demise of my old work has meant shifting this rubbish onto Blogspot. I'm eventually going to import all this into the proper blog and then syndicate back into Blogspot, which will be a fun exercise to get working. But for now there isn't much to see here.

Didn't get in until 5am. Considering the abject lack of normal Xmas things, like presents and good films on the telly, it's gone pretty decently actually. Probably going to avoid this bird, it'd just be awkward otherwise. Although last night was a first in several ways.

SO SAD

Got Wordpress running. Locally. In the process I have learned more than I did in the last two years of my university life.

Anyway, yeah, it's not likely to last, given that I have to turn the server off to get to sleep, but when the server is a little box in the living room of el condo that might change.

(running a web server, database and preprocessor on a wireless PC in my living room. I cannot, cannot believe I still kiss girls.)

http://thumper.kicks-ass.org/wordpress : when I can be assed I'll get the thumpercam and everything else linked to that properly and drop all the external guff. Means I'm not relying on my old work's server too.

Mission Accomplished

np: Prong - Out of This Misery

Just need to make it last until next week.

Still. Third choice, but she went for me. I am thoroughly chuffed. If I can milk it I will be A Bit Pleased. If not, meh.

- Chris

Fun in

np: Regency Buck - Monkey Girl

Just watched Pi (for the second time) and Analyse This (first time) bck-to-back. Six cans of Miller between both. Impressive.

Could really have done with a couple more. I've got one left and nowt to do with it but get pissed and read MZAD. Oh well.

Party tomorrow. I have a bet to win. I will get this Robin bird. I;'ve had a whole night of Bookworm Bitches to get me in the mood.

Off paintballin'

np: Ben Folds Five - Champagne Supernova

First time. Wish me luck.

- Chris

Reservation met

np: Regency Buck - The Ballad of Duke Ironfist

Go go condo. I'm so stoked.

I'm finally warming to the awesomeness of having a publicly-readable and yet utterly ignored diary. Being a camwhore with a blog is refreshingly modern.

- Chris

FLAAAAAAAT.

np: No Doubt - Suspension without Suspense

Oh Christ. It is the best flat evar.

Seriously. I will sell my body for this flat.

- Chris

Republican copy-pasters on forums

np: The Boo Radleys - It's Lulu

Seriously. The worst thing ever to happen to the Internet. Including Robbie Buckshot La Funk.

- Chris

P A R T Why?

np: Manowar - Achilles, Agony and Ecstacy in

Meant to be going out tonight to a party. Don't think I can be assed. It means starting late and finishing very late, there might not be many honeys there (at least, not single, hot ones who like boys with red skin and yellow hair) and I'd probably end up sitting talking with (i.e. mostly not talking with) the boys.

I need a change. Pronto. Disappointed with the way this weekend went. Need to do something before the holiday.

- Chris

Oooh! Sun!

np: Parliament - Give up the Funk (Tear the Roo

(Winamp loves this track.)

Jobcentre time. Wish me luck.

I need to get back and out in this weather. I'd forgotten what sun looked like.

Nearly party time! After today I'm going to relax in this heat for a week. Try and get some sunburn protection in place before I leave. And cut down on the lager (by "cut down" I mean "cut out altogether" to try and rid myself of the gut for a bit.

- Chris

Another entry from the Book Of The Best Things Ever

np: Bis - Burn the Suit

Stolen from someone off the MAME boards.

- Chris

Test. Again.

np: Blur - Entertain Me

I've decided that w.bloggar isn't actually that bad. Could still do with being Free.

- Chris

Sacked.

np: Marilyn Manson - Seizure of Power

Fuck. Shit. Bollocks.

That's putting it mildly. You get what you wish for, and that's what I get for wishing it.

On top of that, no redundancy insurance on either the lappy or my loan, and the bank isn't letting me change my mind now. The utter shits.

So, good news:

1. I no longer have to restrict my job- or flat-hunting to places which leave me within an hour of the middle of nowhere. This is great.

2. I've got a paycheque coming in real soon now.

3. Magaluf next week. I'm going back into town to buy bleach. Pray that the ends of my hair don't rot off: if they don't it should look okay, and in a fortnight I will be the Sexy Euro Boy again.

4. I thought these jeans had shrunk. Wearing them in the rain has sorted them. w00t.

Anyway, yeah. I really hope my hair works. I could seriously do with some immediate fillyification.

w.bloggar's annoying me, as all proprietary software does. Where are the alternatives?

The wonders of sleep

Or the lack thereof.

Went to Glasgow yesterday; got drunk with Readwin on a pub crawl; went back to Edinburgh; slept on a step.

Gah.

Now at Conrad's, showing off Firefox and watching F1. wysiwyg still rocks hard.

- Chris

Jill is the best

True.

thumperward@hotmail.com please. Ooh I'm so excited.

Note to self. Nightlies are more trouble than they're worth.

- Chris

I'm probably going to collape shortly

np: Cay - Resurrexit

Curry on the hob, beerishness imminent, and mym mummy just spent one whole pound on a brand-new Model M. I have my own keyboard again. I fucking love these things.
