landslide

another week down. at this rate it will be december next time i blink and i will be looking around for a new contract, though i will be looking to book a plane ticket for a holiday before that.
work is still ok. still a little annoyed they havent given me an official PC to work on of my own, and am using the tiny but very expensive laptop for some stuff, but its my only gripe.

went out in shoreditch last on thursday night and then was out again last night in soho with some other friends. 2 late nights in a row meant i was very tired and its a good thing it was the start of the weekend. weather was also nice today. looks like we are going to see some blue sky and sunshine the next few days. we fucking need it as well.

not much else happening. am leading a very basic life of home and work and little else. cycled to the gym today and had i caught a couple of lights in time and pumped up my tyres a little more, i think my record of 15m 33s might have been in danger. i was just over 16 minutes but will try again tomorrow to beat it.

got a barbeque to go to next saturday and the football season kicks off the weekend after. a couple of guys want to go to liverpool, to see everton play, in a couple of weeks time, but my friends are lame and i imagine it will get canned, as usual. liverpool on a saturday night is a good night out though, and we haven't done it in a while.

thats all folks. have a lovely week at work or on vacation.

today i have mostly been listening to stevie nicks - landslide. its a shame that the likes of madonna and lady gaga are more famous and well known than stevie, but amongst the greatest american female artists i hope she is included in and suspect she is highly rated and respected amongst people who are really into music and less into celebrity or silly publicity stunts. some people might think this is a girly song, but i like it and its just a great song and a great vocal. if you havent heard it, think of it as a lesson in your musical education. enjoy.
