5:46 pm - drinking and solitude and reading
So i recently returned to the homeland, and promptly set about doing fuck all and being bored as hell. Well i say that, although my boredom is sharing a bed with my inate lazyness, creating a bizarre paradox where i'm desperately bored but too lazy to get off my arse and do anything about it. curse you, brain.

So basically instead of doing the things i desperately need to do like getting a job, i've been spending most of my waking hours drinking, with the occasional friend and often alone, in my room, smoking heavily and reading. yesterday i read all of Julian Barnes' 'Nothing To Be Frightened Of' in a single day. it's like three hundred pages. shows you how little i've been doing. I also drank the extortionately priced cuban rum my sister brought back from cuba. so i ended up tipsy, reading and thinking extensively about death. then i fell asleep and had a hideous nightmare.

so at this very moment it's obscenely humid, but rainy as fuck outside. lightning keeps striking and blowing the power for a half hour which is irratating to say the least.

and what am i going to do now? rewrite my piece of shit CV is what so i can go hand it round a bunch of places i have no desire to work at. then maybe i'll go to the pub and drink my boredom away.

aah Bopp was a good night. a live swing band, drunkenness, fun times.

anyway, it's come to my attention i never update this anymore.
i have a blog i use as a sketchbook for projects here but mostly i just put my stuff on my flickr. i don't really have time to post inane details of my life on here anymore, to be honest.

merry christmas and all that.

11:59 pm - whoring someone else on the nets for a change
Tom is a wonderful photographer. In the year I've known him I've seen him go from fiddling around with digital cameras to shooting possibly my favourite portrait of me ever


i..just love it. i mean not that he was ever a bad photographer by any means, i just love what he's doing these days. He's just bought a Hassleblad, which was what that was shot on, and i think he's all the better for it.

anyway, i demand you go show his flickr some care and attention.

flat exploring with adam )
anyway, the other night we got drunk at adam's and explored an abandoned flat. last night i got drunk at a house warming party.it was lovely, and we all had a damn fine time. i've also done other things other than drinking and generally had a rather nice time of late, so good times.

5:02 pm - alfie's wonderful visit
Last week, alfie visited for four whole days! it was delicious. When he arrived we went for a pint and then went climbing.

AND IT WAS AWESOME )
in other news, i got my hair cut yesterday. It's now a lot shorter, but i like it.

incidently i, obviously, didn't take all of those shots, we were just sharing tom's digital compact.

there's more of these, but i'm off for a 'photography social' now so don't have time to clean up anymore scans just yet. it's not as lame as it sounds, we're just getting pissed together in the eternal quest to actually know the names of more then ten people on our ludicrously large course.
tally ho!

This friday i'm supposed to be going to london with a bunch of people from my class for a trip of sorts, which should be awesome, although will never compete the near-deadly amounts of fun that was had when i went with the college. still, should be good. I'm also gonna try and get to Norwich this weekend to see kerm. apparently there's a huge party going on which should be cool but i'm also a bit nervous about, since kerm will quite literally be the only person there i know. I met a few of his friends when they were up but i can't remember any of them. eep.
anyway, it's almost five in the morning and it's taken a ludicrous amount of time to scan, clean up, and upload these photos, so now i'm going to bed.
tally ho.


current mood: tired
