Not dead either

Amidst the plethora of people claiming not to be dead, it occurred to me that I've been a bit lax with the old blog just recently, and feel the need to make a drive-by posting and say hello.

In the last few weeks I have, variously:

• Played a lot of Warcrack. My little night elf druid is now level 27 and doing quite nicely, and I'm so ashamed.


• I went for a job interview last Wednesday for a very important financial services title in the City. I really liked it and I really want the job, and I'm hoping that came across during the discussion, but I have a sinking feeling that they didn't think the style of my current employer was right for them.


• Last month, cassandraclare and protean came over, and there was much merriment and sampling of some new restaurants here and there, top of the bill was a rather spiffy Italian place in Primrose Hill, where I am thinking of going again, maybe for my birthday. It was great to catch up, especially as I've not seen them in well over two years. There was a surfeit of mistful, too, but I feel this is never a bad thing.


• Oh, and malachan is in Chicago for the rest of the month, so I have sold his furniture and am renting the room to a Polish builder called Stanislav, who is turning it into an S&M dungeon.

In the future I will:

• Play more Warcrack.


• paintobscura comes in two days. This will be exciting. I always envy people seeing London for the first time.


• Tomorrow I am going into town to cover an 'important announcement' from Red Hat. It had better be good


• Get a £200 bonus at the end of the month, and then a pay rise following my review, which hopefully will be next week, after CeBIT. This will be much needed, as I have just been successfully wiped out by quarterly utility bills .. muffinbutt I'll see your $200 utility bill and raise you a $500 utility bill .. so as you can imagine I am feeling very poor indeed right now.


• See Equus next Wednesday.
