ooh, it's been ages since I made a blog post... I wish I could have been able to the screening this year in NY, but alas I couldn't afford to :( I hope all you guys that are going have a good time, I'm going to miss meeting most of you again and probably some I've not met before. Would have been great to see the whole of DbP on the big screen too! Darnit.. maybe I'll be able to make it for the next screening.. I really hope there's a next screening some time :) In the meantime I'll just have t… Continue

It's been a while since I blogged... zoiks! Work has been keeping me busy all stupid hours of the day and I've been crashing out when I get home and not staying up so late most days. So it's been pretty much just work and sleep and a bit of Guild Wars, and lately back to recording a bit in the studio and not really much time spent interacting online with people. I need to try and spend a bit more time on here and come back to the chat more often, I miss you guys!

On that same kinda not… Continue

yeah, I know I'm like a week late in posting this... hehe :)

I had such a good time in NY, meeting everyone again and those that I hadn't met before! Wish it could have all gone on for longer - I miss everyone! The screening was awesome too, was great to see all the episodes combined into one and watching it all on the big screen was so cool :D So many good memories from the time there, and I have a load of (mostly very shaky) video footage that I have to edit together once I get back h… Continue

Not long now until I fly out to NY (thursday morning)... I'm so excited! wheee! :D Can't wait to meet everyone again, and those that I haven't met before too! Then after NY I get to spend time with the awesome person that is my friend Kathy as well :D
I still have loads of things to do before I go though, I swore that I wouldn't leave stuff til the last minute this time, but as usual it's probably going to be a complete mad rush right until I go out the door to catch the bus for the first l… Continue

yes, I know I've done a few 'oh, boohoo... work sucks, call a waaaahmbulance' type blogs before, in the past... so why change the habit of a lifetime! work sucked some more, and I'm here to bore you with all of the details from the past few days... yes, it is really incredibly long and boring, fear ye all who read on...! :P
no, seriously, it's really long. I guarantee you'll get to about halfway through (if even that) and then you'll really want those last few minutes of your life back...… Continue

oh well, having bored you all to death with 'tales of the taxman (tm)' in my last blog, I get a phonecall this evening telling me that I now don't need to have the accounts in til thursday... this is after me staying up all night til like 10am monday morning working on finishing them.... *sigh* and that was after getting a phonecall on sunday evening saying that the accounts had to be in on tuesday, which meant having them done by monday night.... and this is again after a few weeks ago getting… Continue

So I'm supposed to have the accounts for 2005/06 for the band done by this tuesday morning, showing just how much money we actually lose (as the taxman doesn't believe us and thinks we make loads of money.. yeah, right).

I so hate doing accounts, and it's made even more difficult by the fact that the band isn't a business, it's not registered with anything, there are no shareholders, business partners or whatever - it's just a hobby for us, and we spend way more money on it than we mak… Continue

Well, looks like I'm going to be kept busy at work just before heading over to the US for DbP:NY... found out today that my boss has decided to go on holiday to portugal for a couple of weeks at the end of september/start of october and is leaving me in charge of the business again, although now I'm the only member of staff left to look after the place as (FINALLY!) he's got rid of mr. stinky-rude-ignorant person (the other dude that worked there and probably scared off half the customers). So i… Continue

I just booked my flights this morning... wheee! :D
Arriving in NY on Thursday then staying 'til Monday (unless someone gives me free accommodation after monday... :P ) then off down to merry Maryland for an additional 3 weeks or so of loitering around :D
I'm really looking forward to meeting up with a bunch of you fine people again, and meeting some people I haven't met before too!
I'm excited!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D

I'm a liking this here newfangled webbersiteythingy, it's pretty darn funky :D I just need to figure out what everything does now... hehe
It's a cool place to go with the coolness that is drawn by pain!
Now I just need to try and blog a bit more often than what is my usual outpouring of, uh.. bloggyness? .. that is if anyone is interested... :P
