No he actualizado este journal por un buen rato. Y, ¿qué ha estado pasando en mi vida? No mucho... Todavia estoy esperando por el desenlace de la historia del apartamento que estoy tratando de comprar. Todavia estoy pasando por la pesadilla del apartamento compartido en el que vivo. Todavia estoy haciendo música, todavia estoy dando clase. Escribo esto, como todos los jueves, sentado en el Rustique...

Farrah Fawcett has died. Another unusual thing was bumping into flavius_m in the supermarket on the way home. I tell you, there are too many of those damn goths around these here parts! *grin*

So work has been griddling my grey matter. I am really hating the new AD setup. The only 'benefit' I can see from it is that the service desk peeps will be able to "administer" systems using a GUI. Great for the large number of Windoze-based PCs on site but shi'ite for the Macs, linux and Slowharry boxs. Trying to get Apache to authemticate against AD has been a nightmare as there are so many 'moving...

Yesterday at work was "one of those days". After wrangling Slowlaris systems into negotiating network info the day before, there was the inevitable "clean up". First thing was my mailbox which had a couple of "Wow! Thank you"s in there, saying stuff like "it has just started working" and the like. The fragile male ego needs massaging so I lap it up in (small) spades. Next up is the ticket queue. Oh...

After some major scale faffing, prevaricating, dawdling, delaying and generally just dragging my ass I finally got myself out of the house and dragged my carcass down to the tube station. Due to an unusually alert mental state, I actually checked the announcement board at the tube station . Imagine my surprise when I saw that the Circle line appeared to be running. What? No engineering works!? Result...

I had a bit of a battle yesterday dragging my butt out of the house to actually go and do something beyond acquire an LCD tan! Took myself off down to the Hobbledehoy and was quite amazed to see it pretty busy down there. They've started doing free-in band nights down there, and it seems to be paying off. Last night's band were Everything and Nothing . I quite like their sound, although there is maybe...

Firstly, a very happy birthday to morbidfrog !!! May you have a stellar weekend with lots of pints :D I've just booked my first ever singing lesson with Vox Box in Camden for the 12th March ... It's something I've been meaning to do for a long time and a friend recommended this studio. Given that his vocal style ranges from Cookie-Monster to beautiful-melodic, I thought I'd take his word for...

Practise with flavius_m yesterday was a bit fraught, but very productive as well - oh the dichotomy (or is it???). We're both stubborn as each other, but I was very pleased that we figured out a solution to a new song we've done and came out smiling, and I actually seem to be getting better at writing lyrics - go me :D I'm fed up with having bright red hair! :/ I had bright red hair as a...

Had an excellent weekend - quiet Friday night, practise with flavius_m the next day. omnisppot 's birthday was on the 12th but the actual celebrations began at LVG Anti-Valentine's Party (Lost Boy 80s theme). I liked the venue and it was a chilled atmosphere. From there we toodled off to the Festival of Sin at the Purple Turtle, where we met up with Jessica, Alan, Lawrence and others...

Really good weekend: briefly met capt_prickle outside the Elephant's Head in Camden for a spot of shopping. I was meant to be his stylist for a metal party he was attending that night, but he'd already purchased the suggested metuuull items I'd suggested by text (and he'd also bought a wig). Nothing for it but to shop for basic black jeans - both had a win. Lunch at flavius_m 's ...
