The end of the festive season

Back to work tomorrow. Christmas and new year are over yet again. Not too bad. Acutally had 4 days off in a row there which was nice. Spent time with family, saw friends and did some studying. Back to work in the morning. Poo.

Just been out with my two oldest friends. One guy who I've known since the age of 2 (about 26 years ago) and another who I met at the age of 4 on my first day at school. Both good guys. Both smoke so will probably die in horrible ways (had to get that in, i've been telling them all night)

One of them is doing some sort of research work in america. He's a smart guy but you just don't get paid for what he does in britain. He's working on new antibiotics that will overcome antibiotic resistance and MRSA. Important work that will help us fend off the coming apocalypse! As a side note, if you are applying for a research grant in america and you use the phrase 'bio-terrorism' you will get lots of money.

My other mate works in a record shop but he's in an underground noise band who are good at what they do. They've just signed some sort of record deal so you can buy their CD in HMV soonish. They are called 'black sun'. I've seen them and they put on an amazing show but I wouldn't listen to them around the house. They sound a bit like someone drilling your teeth as you fall down the stairs in a metal bin. Through a distortion pedal. They are that good.

I used to be in a band with both of these guys years ago. I sang and they both played guitar. The drummer in that band is now the drummer in a very successful glasgow noise band who I won't name. Suffice to say we know his secret. He was a blur fan. (answers on a postcard. the person who names the band gets a no-prize)

The friend in memphis is now playing in a band with someone who played drums for Dexys Midnight Runners which is fucked up. What's even more fucked up is that I own all of Dexys albums. I even have a copy of the theme from 'brush strokes'. I am a sad man.

I took some photos with my new toy. My parents gave me a digital camera for x-mas which was very cool. Expect to see more amateurish pictures on this site at some point (sorry, no porn. I'm physically unattractive and girls don't like me that much)

anyway, enuff
