So it seems I have been co-erced onto twitter by bluknight, minor-celeb stalking is fun. It’s especially fun when one of your very favourite musicians for the last decade adds you in return for you adding them! *grin* (Twitter name is guruphil if you couldn’t guess.)
So yeah, things aren’t bad.
Work was a bit of a disaster this last week. Don’t feel that I achieved everything I set out to. Plus I fucked up a bit at the beginning of the week. Hope I won’t be in too much trouble for that as I <3 my job.
Meeting an old friend, Krzysztof, for lunch today. He works in Slough but is in Cambridge this weekend for some reason. It should be good as I have not seen him in a fair while. Right now I am just annoyed that I haven’t got any food in. No-one to blame but myself though!
I’ve decided I need a new active hobby, so am going to look at airsoft in the spring. Should be fun, and I definitely need to be more active. I’m also re-inspired to look at getting a motorbike. It’ll be a long process but ultimately worth it I’m sure.
Right, time for showar! Byes all!

Draco’s put up a pretty strong argument as to why he is a likely candidate.

As I’m currently job-hunting at the moment, and just received a flyer for Domino’s Pizza (mmmm) in the door which is staring at me going ‘order me, order me’ I have been contemplating exactly how expensive said pizzas are in comparison to one another.
Please note, this article does not take into account any ‘meal deals’ or similar offers made available and relies solely on the base cost of individually priced pizzas. It may be inaccurate or incorrect as I’m not a math wizz and I’m also half asleep…

I’ve just learned I share a birthday with Ginsberg. It put a smile on my face.

I’m in a ranty mood today. Where shall I start? Hrm. below are a list of things that I’m a bit grouchy about at the moment.
- Companies that claim they have something in plentiful stock, then tell you they’re out of stock after you pay for the goods (Read: Wiggle)
- Companies that tell you their goods are due to arrive in the next couple of days, and maintain ‘expected early August’ on the website even when it’s the middle of the month (Wiggle)
- Mothers that believe a meal at McDonald’s is good eats for their 4yr old children more than once in a blue moon (once a month I can live with, once or twice a week? Fuck off.)

Well, having spent a little over 24 hours in Norwich, I’m home now. Returned to find names.co.uk (Namesco) asking me for £40 to renew a single .org domain for two years (minimum duration.)
NAMESCO FUCK YOu. last time they told me i had a domain expiring, it was so late in the game that I didn’t have time to transfer it, they had locked the domain, so this time as soon as they emailed me ( I should have really just kept track, I know) I jumped onto the website to transfer the domain out.
In total, I’ve spent £11.75 or so to get them to auth the transfer out, and a whopping £4.80 to transfer it to another registrar and get it renewed for a year.. In fact that £40 that Namesco wanted would renew the domain with my new registrar for… THIRTEEN YEARS.
Fuck, namesco, I hate you so fucking much. You should die a dotcom death.
In other news, I may have broken my crossposter, lets find out.
