icky thump

its the last day of my citrix xenapp course tomorrow. its been a good course and very worthwhile and i have learned a lot. plan is to study hard for another week and then take the exam and get myself certified. will need to do it soon to keep up the momentum and whilst its fresh in my mind. no news on the job front. had a few calls but nothing solid has come through. no bother.

i also have had a bastard of a bad cold for the last couple of days. am sure i got it from travelling on the tube again after not being on it for a long time. rush hours where you are crammed in with other people breathing in their germs. i could feel myself not feeling too good on monday after the first day. god, i fucking hate taking the tube.

because i have been ill and have had the course i havent been to the gym all week. there is no point in going when you aint feeling too good. have made the mistake of going before and i just ended up feeling like i was going to be sick after 15 minutes and i was training at 50% capacity as well. no need to go if thats the case.

anyways thats it. weather has been dark and overcast most of the week, although the sun did come out today and i saw it for 15 minutes when i went to buy my lunch. rest of the time i was in a basement classroom with no windows. i really have had enough of this cold weather. its been another long cold dark winter and i am gasping for some light and warmth.

today i have mostly been listening to the white stripes - icky thump. i wouldnt call myself a fan and there was some of their stuff that i liked but then there were tunes i didnt really like, but even after all that you have to have maximum respect for them. they announced recently that they were splitting up the band. jack white is incredibly talented and alongside meg, the both of them made a heck of a noise between just the 2 of them. there are 6 piece bands that couldnt play something like this. enjoy.
