heads will roll

its been a long week but we got through it someway, somehow. i applied to a couple of jobs i saw yesterday. if nothing else it will get my cv out there in the hands of recruiters so that when the new year does roll round, i might get a call from them if anything tasty comes up.

i had football last night for the first time in about 3 weeks. i had no car so had to take the train and it was also really cold but it was a good game. i can't play next week because i have a leaving drinks to go to, but hopefully will get one more game in before the end of the year. it also looks like the weather will be ok tomorrow so i get to cycle to the gym. i need to keep active because this is precisely the time of year when its easy to come up with excuses and not get any exercise, and before you know it you have started to put on weight.

i still haven't decided what exam to do next. i was going to do sql 2005 but sql 2010 is just about to come out and i don't want to get certified in something so old, despite the fact its the version we use most at my work. will do some more digging around and try and come up with something.

have a lovely weekend.

today i have mostly been listening to yeah yeah yeahs - heads will roll. some of their stuff is fantastically good and some a little less so. this is in the fantastically good category. also one more thing to note is that whilst some popstars like lady gaga or madonna resort to cheap publicity stunts and outrageous costumes to try and appear cool, some people like the lead singer of this band, just have a natural effortlessly cool quality to them that you can't fake or manufacture. its almost like she isn't even trying. probably because she isn't and because she doesn't need to because she is actually genuinely cool.
