So my head has been bits the past two or three weeks but I think it’s not far off being ok now. I’m looking forward to seeing Lis next weekend and having a break from being domestic for a couple of days

Looking for inspiration for something to write about tonight (because I’ve got an itchy blogging muscle) I’ve just had a quick scan of the entries I wrote in November during my first year of blogging and oh-my-god there really was a scary-over-sharey-TMI post. Even my toes cringed. Pleased to say that I won’t be going into that much detail about something like that again.

Saying that, blogging did do some good for me. It gave me some continuity during my nomadic years, and has left me with some awesome friends (did I mention I’m going to see one of them next weekend?) When I’ve been feeling shit I’ve found it can be quite therapeutic to get the crap out of my head and into black and white, even if it’s only to hit the delete button or to lock it up so that only my closest friends can read it (and there’s been times when I’ve been really glad I can do both)…. and even if I don’t lock it there are friends who can read between the lines of babble. There’s probably some psychology in that somewhere.

Of course there’s always music to get lost in… especially when you’re rediscovering old friends in your collection and tracking down that track you’ve always liked from that band. One of them I randomly found in the Boy’s collection…. here’s a vid of it being performed (it shouldn’t auto play so you have a choice whether to watch or not!)

And so I shall hit send on this little bit of self-centredness and go back to stalking people on Facebook….

(ps: I do, indeed, have a pair of big black boots, which I wore when I had long brown hair…. there’s some photos out there somewhere….)

So I was thirty back at the beginning of last month and I didn’t ‘blog about it. I really have got out of the swing of things… I even made the resolution to take a photo for each day of my thirty-ness – which went out of the window even before the end of day one, when I didn’t have time because I was running around like a mad thing…

However, study is over for this year, and the nights are most definitely a lot longer (won’t be long before the sun barely leaves the horizon up here) so I’m probably about to hit you with an onslaught of blogging. Also, I’m going to try and take more photos this coming year, purely because I enjoy it and like looking back at them!

It’s frustrating that the net filters mean I can’t Scrobble at work, else my Last.fm chart would look a fair bit different. To be fair though, I think the top album for the past week would still be the same. It’s not exactly a new release but I got the Garden State soundtrack for my birthday and I love it more with every listen (even if it does have Cold Play on it.) It’s a very good “listening to while I’m working” album and I especially like (and it surprises me that I did) the Bonnie Somerville track at the end.

Another birthday present I’ve enjoyed at work is Details by Frou Frou. Boy complains it’s a bit samey (he got it from my Amazon wishlist for me) but I like it. Although I must admit Psychobabble freaks me out after I recieved an unsolicited phonecall last month (How did you get this number…).

Anyway, battery is running low on the laptop and I want to go and watch a crappy film on the tv.

Until tomorrow!
