Well, here I am sat at home with a fucking awful cold. It’s probably far worse than that old codger’s current bout of “flu” as well.
I was also supposed to have my piercing done today, but I scratched that. I figured that being horribly immuno-supressed wasn’t the nest condition to be in, combined with not wanting to pass it on to all and sundry.
Wish me well won’t you…

Well, I had the piercing, and it hurt like nothing I’d had before. To cut to the chase, it went wrong and the barbell fell out of the piercing hole and it’s impossible to get back in. So, I mopped up the blood and am now recouperating – can’t actually see the entry site anymore even.
Hopefully it’ll all be sorted out in a couple of weeks time and I’ll try again. At least I know just how much pain to expect…

No posts for ages, then what happens? Two come along at once. Well, such is life I suppose.
Some of the more avid or eager eyed readers may be aware that my boyfriend has a piercing. He had it done almost to the year ago now. I’ve decided that the time has come for me to follow suit, and as such I’ll try and keep a diary of all the ins and outs up here. As for the piercing location itself – you’ll have to wait until tomorrow :)

On one of my favourite websites/newsletters last week (b3ta) they featured a song called “London Underground”. This happens to feature on an album for Imperial Medic’s RAG week – whom I used to work for before defecting to another bit of Imperial.
Anyway, listen to all the songs up there, then buy it. It’s ace.

Nadelik looan na looan blethen noweth!
Bonan Novjaron!
Bonne Année!
Gelokkeg Nij-jaor!
Gott Nytt År!
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

This was on b3ta, but I found it too funny not to put it up here for posterity.

As two festive occasions dawn upon us (my birthday, and that other lesser one in late December), here follows a suggestion list of what to get me – just so you don’t have any excuses:
– A rather splendid Crystal XBox with mod-chip
– A controller to use with the aforementioned
– Shrek 2
– A Global carving knife (no, really!)
– Grill pan, take your pick of a nice one :)
– Wooden Trivets
– Pervy stuff? Try RoB or Expectations or Fettered Pleasures or MEO or…
– Any of the Eddie Izzard DVDs which I don’t have (which is most of them to be honest): Definite Article, Glorious, Dress To Kill, Unrepeatable and We Know Where You Live
– Bladerunner
I’m sure I’ll think of lots of other wonderful things as well, so I’ll add those as I think of them…
[Edit:] See, I told you I’d think of more things. I spot a theme developing…

Pointless waste of time (even if it was practically nothing) – basically cut my face to shreds this morning. Bastards.

It’s been a while – I told you I led a boring life.

Yay – I have a new job! Still at Imperial though, but now I have the snazzy job title of:
Senior Windows Infrastructure Analyst
If you know what that means exactly, do let me know won’t you.
