At the moment, I’m gernally not a well man. I’ve managed to fuck my back properly. No idea how, but the doc it now talking about MRI scans, investigative surgury, and all sorts of shit. I’ve also started getting patches of dry skin, not sleeping, and generally not being fully functional. So, it’s time to make some decisions, some hard ones, and some easy ones, and some I should have made a year ago.
I’m going to stop drinking huge amounts of coffee. It really can’t be good for me. I have 4 or 5 “death coffees” a day. A Death Coffee is two double strength coffees from the machine, in the same mug, with one milk. So that 4 “shots” (in Starfuck language) 4 times a day, or… 16 coffees. * times the recommended amoujnt. One of my friends is going cold turkey and giving up tea at the moment, so I might have to try it. The plan is coffee > tea > herbal tea > water. Maybe.
I’m going to start looking at other jobs, in smaller companies, even if it means taking a (possibly sizable) pay cut. I’m not sure this is a company I can really feel at home in, though it might just be that I’m stuck in Project From Hell, and have been for over a year. It’s got till September to get interesting again, or the boys is for the hop.
I’m going to bite the bullet, and buy a car. Car = transport = not getting fucked over by Virgin trains every bloomin’ time.
I’m going to get tattoed. I’m bored of being an (almost) plainskin, and have finally started to have ideas about what I want. Thanks to modblog I’ve ruled out so many things, and had so many thoughts.
No doubt I’ll stick to one of these, ditch the rest as a bad idea, and be grumbling about if again in no time at all, but hey, you gotta try.
My MSN screenname has read “this year will not suck” since the first of Jan, and apart from the back, it’s not. I’ve got re-pierced, met somebody I rather like, done somme things I’ve always wondered about, and not completely lost the plot and burned the office to the ground (though I’ve threatened it so many times now I think nobody would beleive me). So on average, stuff is better than this time last year, when I was bloomin miserable, living somehwere I hated, and missing theGirl so much it hurt.
Bonza.

Of late I have been becoming militant, in a very very minor way. I take ten minutes ever few weeks to write to my MP (David maclean) abiout something which is irritating me, and that me might be able to help with, or at least express my views in a forum that matters.
Anyway, this morning I have recieved a bundle of letters in return. Not only a couple of replies to my letters, but also replies from other MPs whom he has passed my letters onto. Kim Howells wrote back about Guantanamo Bay, David wrote back about the European software rulings (a subject I’m sure he has little interest in to be honest), but it shows willing.
So writetothem.co.uk and maybe you’ll be surprised. I’m sure it’s just somebody like my old mate Hack who is writing back, but you never know, it might actually make a difference.

I’ve decided to get virtually all of my photos online on flickr, mostly publically visable, as a form of backup (eg. losing a disk etc). So - in the last few days and night up have gone…
Move to come, as I trawl through 6 years worth (8 gigs) of photos.

It’s actully a long time since I left uni but God only knows that Nick’s photos of Cuths Ball nearly made me cry. I’ll take the credit for the table name “Super Mega Table” as it was very nearly our team name for a TV program, but seeing K. and G. and S. and N. getting twatted in black tie breaks my heart. I’ve enjoyed one ball I went to (and I even managed to fuck that one up by saying something stupid on the way home), and all the rest have been either dissapointments, drunkenwasteland (this is not always a bad thing, but generally in in this case), or I’ve made such a monumental cock of myself when it comes to girls, that it marrs all other memories of the night.
Theres some great pictures (I smells Barney B’s handy work in there - the man is something of a photographic god), and even if you have no idea who these people are, clck through, and see what a ball can look like.

Wandering round tescos at lunch time, my usual three pears and a sandwich in hand, when i find in the discount section… discounted lambs hearts!
How can a man resist those! They’re in the oven, stuffed with minced onion and dark cheese, smothered in a tomato and red wine mix, baking slowly for tomorrow. There’s also one just baking on it’s own to see what they are like plan. The meat is a strnage mix of muscle feel, with the look of a dry liver. Can\’t wait - at worst it’ll be vile, and have cost me 2 pounds.

It feels like I’ve got nothing done this week, but that would be a total lie, for I have in fact been pretty busy, if a little incapasitated.
- Had 3 physio sessions, meaning I can now function, if not easily, but roughly normlly again
- Eaten 56 pain killer tablets (the bloomin’ soluble ones too - yuk)
- Ingested 21 other various tablets fomr the doc
- Had 9 needles stuck in me (8 in acupuncture - and one new piercing)
- Cooked dinner for 4 (Thai fish soup to begin with, roasted chicken to follow)
- Sorted out 2 bunches of flowers (actually the hardest bit of the damned week)
- Sorted my mothers birthday present (a kite!)
- Got new phone up and running, a mission in itself
I was really surprised by acupuncture. I am a total sceptic about such things, mainly because aromatheropy is total turd, as are so many things in the same vein. So, after 8 needles are poked into me (hair fine - not painful at all) and poked a bit, after an hour or so I’ve stiffened up completely and think this is the worst idea ever. Anyway - next morning (this morning), I’m moving a bit easier, and things are generally looking up. I’m still crunching down all the painkillers I can, but things are moving a bit easier.
So - tomorrow, a bundle of family stuff, and a bit of work, and then I’ll put my mind to my next project. I have a cunning plan, oh yes.

After having got uo a decent time this morning, and finding it is snowing, we decided to head to the coast on the metro and escape to sea (well, to the seaside).
Coated and booted (B. having to do my boots up for me due to bad back), we headed out. First stop - Tescos, to break a twenty for change. Airwaves in hand, we struggled to the metro station, fed the machine three pounds twenty, recieved our tickets and battles onto the platform, only to find… the metro’s not bleeding running and has been replaced with a bus. Boo to busses.
So, we turn tail, not fancying an hour on a bus to the coast, head to the paper shop to buy magazines, the Sunday papers, and milk. It’s fucking freezing. It’s colder than Sheffield, it’s colder than Durham, it’s even colder than whenever I’ve been skiing, it’s bloomin freezing.
So, we get back home, having spent over a tenner, and had a big adventure, to the bottom of the road, and back!
Half Man Half Biscuit would be proud.

How strange - a couple of month ago I woke up craving porridge, and I’ve eaten it ever morning possible (generally the weekends). It appears I am far form the only one.
Definately my favorite topping at the moment it a combo of honey and roasted mixed seeds. Brown sugar is good too, but very very cold milk is essecial no matter what you are putting on it.
