• ...realised how much I hate my job. I will be transferring to a different department or quitting ASAP. Which likely means after Christmas.


• ...continued to drink too much. Somehow I have managed to have an alcoholic beverage every day for something like 3 months.


• ...rejoiced as the Democrats took both the House and the Senate.


• ...become fairly concerned that I'm not enjoying uni as much as I could be. I mean, I thought I wanted to be a photographer, but now it seems I'm not so sure.


• ...joined in with a lovely protest against the SWFC chairman Dave Allen, featuring such classic chants as "we want our Wednesday back" and "you can shove your fucking pigeons up your arse". *


• ...done things with my ex-girlfriend that would have been more normal for an actual couple.


• ...dealt with those murderous trolls.


• ...horrifyingly counted down the days to my rapidly approaching birthday.


• ...watched the Jags lose to Houston. Twice.


• ...seen The Prestige, Red Road, The Last Kiss, Casino Royale and a bunch of others I've forgotten about so they can't have been that good.


• ...pre-ordered a Wii. Woo!


• ...bought an X-Box 360.


• ...bought a new 19" Samsung flatscreen.


• ...returned said Samsung flatscreen because of this weird glow at the top of the screen.


• ...got a replacement Samsung flatscreen.


• ...returned said Samsung flatscreen because of this weird glow at the top AND bottom of the screen.


• ...waited for a Sony TV to come in stock. I'm still waiting.


• ...decided that I want to live in Vancouver.


• ...gone to a football match actually expecting us to win. This is a strange, unsettling feeling.


• ...bought tickets for Iron Maiden (Trivium supporting), Dragonforce, My Chemical Romance and Meat Loaf.


• ...been to Sheffield City Hall to see Mitchell & Webb of Peep Show fame. Fucking hilarious, I shit you not.


• ...waited on my brother hand and foot for about a month after he had a foot operation.


• ...become more than a little addicted to Football Manager 2007. Seriously, they should have support groups for people like me.


• ...made a couple of CDs to take to work with the express purpose of pissing off one of our chefs. (He thinks Kylie walks on water.) Does that make me shallow? Actually I don't care.


• ...finally started sorting through my photos from my four weeks in Canada. Took me long enough.

Not really all that interesting (apart from the bit with the trolls), but there we go.
Oh yeah, if anyone in or around Sheffield wants to go see Dragonforce at the Octagon on December 7th, I have a spare ticket. 15 quid.
