Going to the printers tonight to approve my wedding invitations wooo. Got a bill from BT for a line I cancelled, but they waived it off and said it was a mistake on their part, so that was good. Sorted it in 20 minutes, which was nice.

I bought some stuff at IKEA last night and got 100 free GLIMMMA tealights thanks to their loyalty card. \o/

I need an Ikea trip soon.

Need a new TV stand thing. Hmmm.

Hope GTA IV arrives today. Just found out there's MORE gigs in May I wanna go to: Why? and Menomena. Why is May always the month for gigs?

  - Yeah actually, I was away for October last year and I remember missing loads.
    
    Argh. May = Low, The Postal Service, The Knife, Modeselektor, Why?, Menomena. I'm sure there's more.

    - For us it was just that so many of them are too big and annoying.
      
      The Hemnes is sturdy, though, and actually costs a bit for IKEA, presumably because of that.

  - at Islington Assembly Halls.
    
    Saw Los Campesinos there last year, a fine venue I think. Why clashes with The Knife though, sadface (though I'll probably see them at Melt instead and go to Why)

      They seem to be having a fair few gigs there so excited I get to go there...and its a 20 min walk home after. Are tickets on sale yet?

Moved yesterday in a blizzard

Quickly discovered that my new place has no water, so spent my first night there on a friend's sofa. So very, very cold.

You are surely a man who's winning.

I just caught a glimpse of a paper and it reminded me that Gazza once showed up to a terrifying mass murderer's house with a fishing rod and a chicken. In hindsight that's surely the weirdest thing anyone can think of. Perhaps ever.

Speaking of weird... I think Shelly from Alisha's Attic is contributing a last second vocal. Did not see that coming. After a bit of research did you know she had a platinum album??

Otherwise life roles on. Keeping it together just about. Email me this week if you get a window?

    it really IS unexpected because it's nothing to do with me. Other half of the band wrote to her because he's mildly obsessed with her voice and so it's been a case of "wait, what? erm okay". I haven't heard the take yet so I keeping my fingers crossed. Alisha's Attic though. So 90s :D

Hy does the free web hosting service I just signed up to

promise 1-click installation of Wordpress and then fail to provide a button to click in order to instal Wordpress?

      they've cunningly placed it inside another directory called "Zickety Installer" (or something), and after clicking on the Wordpress installer, you have to click through some options and fill in a form, before clicking submit.
      
      All up, half a dozen clicks or more, which is at least 5 MORE CLICKS THAN ADVERTISED!

Went to a wine tasting evening last night

Had to pretend to be posh.
My favourite moment was later in the evening, a elderly gentleman's comb over had flipped back on itself, and was hanging like a ponytail, down next to his ear. Like a sideways mullet. He was too drunk on wine to notice.

Had to put my foot down with Keitha last night

and she flew off the handle. Things were getting too serious. DO NOT WANT. I still can't see myself in a serious relationship with anyone apart from my ex. maybe I should just ask her to marry me.

hi DiS, just popping by.

How are you all?

Got a big uni deadline tomorrow, nervous but at least the work is done. It just needs editing now.

Went on a date yesterday. It was... odd. We got on very well and I like the guy a lot, but I can't tell whether he likes me or not, and I find that a bit strange. Not really sure what to do next.

Listening to Wooden Wand a lot this week, brilliant album.

Well, that's enough about my life for now.
