Today I break the spell that’s had it’s hold over me.

Fuck the world cause I’m off to the shop to buy ingredients and then I’m going to cook myself an awesome pasta dinner. With chicken, bacon, some cream onion and garlic for the sauce. Phower.

How on earth did I manage to stay in this house for a week without going nuts…no wait…I did go nuts.

Moral of the story or something. If you have kids, please please either get them jabs or rub their faces all over the first chicken poxed child you see. They’ll thank you for it a in twenty three years time when they don’t end up with the disease three days before they have to go to a music festival.

So anyway.

I can’t wait till next weekend, because I’m going to get to see some friends, maybe get some sushi, maybe go to nandos, maybe have a catch up drink - and then the weekend after that I get to go away again ^_^ *touch wood*.

So yeah, I’m pretty confident that no new pox have spawned and all current ones are scabby scab scab - so risk of infection is very low now.

I really love this Feeder album, Pushing the senses, it’s very not like their early stuff, but it feels like the perfect album to listen to at the moment - a bit mellow, a bit backgroundy, and Feeder reminds me of the summer.

Oh and it’s Paul’s birthday today, Happy birthday to him! I owe that man a pint I think.

This morning’s winning breakfast combination is strawberry country crisp, tea and Jeff Buckley.

Feeling better, the coughing fit part of the cold has subsided last night, I fell asleep easily but then after a certain point I began and tossing and turning. I’m restless. I hope this means I’m on the mend anyhow.

Bro’s birthday today, he’s a whooppingg 29 years old! Scary, my brother is actually olde-olde. And to think I’m going to be 24 this year scares the shit out of me. Time has flown so fast and I never really paid any attention to that fact. Maybe I should. Maybe I should stop running away from real life in my head and be a rweal man and face it head on.

Maybe…

Anyhow, I have caught up with my photo processing at long last - yay! Means I can concentrate on other things. Bob was doing the right thing yesterday and poking me about this updating CV milarky and that I should go get it done. But yeah I think that’s the plan for today, am working through my list of things to do nicely for once.

I feel like I should have some goal to finish off the end of the month with. And as a wonderful reward I shall go on party with the folks down at uni. I think the big push is find a new job, so my sort of sub target is to get myself an interview. Do you think I can do it? I should in theory hope so because after all that work on the CV I damn well hope it’ll get me somewhere.

xkcd made me giggle today, as it reminded me of uni and my bacon sandwich phases.

So the other weekend I went to see the Mexicolas. Well a lot of other stuff happened before that point though. I mean my bad karma was still going on since I killed that pigeon…

I don’t think I ever want to turn twenty five.

It seems like such a scary age, where I feel like I should have done all the things I’d ever wanted to do in life and then settle down with a career and be sensible, stable, responsible, take on a variety of commitments like a mortgage and a family and I’ll go to those sort of dinner parties where I get a babysitter for the kids and find myself with a room full of equally amazing stable couples while I sip wine and talk about the state of affairs and complain about taxes, petrol prices and I get to listen to everyone else talk about their even more amazing lives…

But yeah…I digress…

This year Phil was turning twenty-five, and well it doesn’t really sound that all bad until you take into consideration that he’s now a quarter of a century olde! Then, and only then does it begin to sound kinda scary. Then you realise how fast time flies, give it two years and I really will be turning twenty five myself…

To celebrate Phil’s coming of oldeness, someone, somehow, sometime decided to have a house party at the guy’s/Tom’s house. It’s been kinda annoying and so forth, I’ve been trying to get a house party going for weeks and weeks now, but we just couldn’t seem to get it to happen. We just couldn’t get people in sync at all, but then as if by magic, Phil’s birthday allowed the perfect reasoning and motivation to get it to work.

Back in December Stu invited us all out to London to do something for his birthday, plans fell along the lines of all gather up and lark about London round 2pmish on Saturday, and then go have tapas somewhere.

I was quite looking forward to the idea of tapas as I’d never been before, I mean not properly while out. I had always had a cool casual view of tapas though. That kind of thing where you go out with some mates, have a drink and have some finger foods and just chat and catch up about life. I liked that idea.

Though turned out this tapas experience wasn’t going to be as relaxed as that…heh

It’s been an odd few days I should say.

But last night I went out for the social that was in celebration for Amy and Emma’s birthdays.

Haha I really do love my olde schoolie friends sometimes. It was cool night and I got to see Dannii and David a bit too. I hadn’t seen Dannii since she’d went to study and David’s just been rushed off his feet with work. I can’t wait until pretty much everyone is back, like olde times and I do like my catch up sessions.

It was Emma and Amy’s birthday yesterday, and Amy has invited me along for some quiet drinks at this club in town. The problem that arose however was that I was working from 1.30pm till 8pm that night ugh.
