Bad TV is important. How I met your Mother, Family Guy, the OC, the double digit seasons of the Simpsons... it's all wonderful. Sure, people say it's unimaginative and predictable but that's what makes it comforting. Sometimes you just need to turn your brain off and enjoy something for face value because hey, that's what it's there for.

My little sister was really upset when...

I want to secure a job before I finish university, that way I don't have to spend three months sitting around waiting for life to restart after I graduate. I've done enough of that over the summer. In sorting out my CV I have found that there's a surprisingly fine line between selling yourself short and walking into the interview in speedos, winking at the...

So I decided to be good to myself and jump on board the eight-hours-of-sleep-per-night band wagon. I turned in at 9:00pm which is really early by my standards. The result was that I woke up at 1:00am convinced that it was mid morning. After an hour of lying in the dark I decided that I probably wasn't going to get back to sleep.

What now?...

Warning: while I know I am very lucky in a lot of ways and that I shouldn't complain when other people have life far worse than I do... I'm going to anyway. Because that's what the internet is for. Posting reams and reams of self-deprecating, half-angsty, slightly tongue-in-cheek blog posts. (If anyone tells you differently they are trying to sell you miracle penis and/or weight...

Today I've been taking full advantage of the fact that I'm home by playing the piano constantly... and now I want a keyboard or synth to take back to uni with me. True I already have too many guitars and a saxophone but there's just something special about jangly piano blues.

I'm already supposed to be saving up for an epee and I need to...

Ah Friday... what can I say about Friday. Well Friday began in the local night club with the heating turned all the way up to inferno. I'm not sure why the heating was that high, possibly to further punish the people who'd already been standing for three quarters of an hour in the rain.

I caught up a little bit with some people I hadn't...

So I lied, I was not back at Xmas, nor did I use msn with any regularity.

My natural cynicism tells me that the mysterious e-stranger who bestowed free SG on me is actually a fabricated marketing ploy because somewhere I ticked a gullible box or two... however, free SG is free SG.

Attention blog-fans, I have no idea if anyone reads this but: If you don't hear from me (I say hear because 'if you read from me' sounds a bit lame) it's because I'm moving into my halls of residence for university and I'm not sure how strict the internet filters will be. So, if I can't get back to this blog for a while I...

Dear lord, there're very few days before I go to university and I really need to get on and tidy up, some revision wouldn't go amiss either.

Yesterday I got a bunch of basic ingredients from Tesco so I should be able to cook a few good meals and bribe people with food. It's odd but I'd never really done a big shopping trip like...

Hey internet-fish. I'm blogging from my mac book, OS X is taking a bit of getting used to but all in all it's pretty sexy. I managed to set up a rudimentary file sharing network type dealy to grab all my music from my big PC because as fun as re-importing music to iTunes is, it's only a matter of time before I accidentally cut...

I live in a one horse town... and I'm not talking about race horses or war horses or part-time porn-star horses here, I'm talking about the warm milk and pennyroyal tea variety. Of course I'm not really talking about horses at all, it's just a metaphor. I suppose, what I am trying to get at, is that my town is very, very boring. It is...
