1000wds down today, stocked up on peanut butter and jelly and ready for the next 1000.

I'm gonna need a DA-RINK tonight

Said I'd go and chat to some people in a pub who are trying to improve their English. Good opportunity for some drinks and to meet some new people. I'm planning on traveling around Europe next year, so it'd be good to meet...

Wow, haven't been on in a while!

Just finished my uni classes. Have to write a whole heap of essays now, fun!

Went on a 30 hour drinking session this weekend. Met some new buddies, talked about life and had an all round great time.

Reading plenty of Salman Rushdie this week, I love it!

Went back to Ireland during the week to visit all my family and friends, which was fantastic.

I'm also hitting up White Lies in Shoreditch Town Hall tomorrow night. Can't wait!

Well, Uni is going well!

I love the readings although I partied/worked/slept WAY too much last week in London.

I did get free champagne all night on Tuesday though, so that was nice!

I woke up Wednesday morning in Knightsbridge. Tried to sneak out, but found that I was in a private STREET. Had to pretend to be on my phone and wait by the...

Back to the Future is being re-released in the UK on Friday.

It's been digitally remastered and looks great in this trailer:

Definitely going to see it!

Started my Masters last week, it's brilliant.

I spent Thursday hopping from department to department and crashing, I mean networking, their post-grad welcome parties. Lot's of free drink.

If I can get through the reading list in time now I'll be OK!

Anyone up for some Vladimir Nobokov?
Surprise me...

So I was at Ozzfest on Saturday.

I got free box tickets through work and got incoherently toxicated on free alcohol courtesy of O2 while chatting to the "Prince of Brazil"(quite possibly true) about chocolate cake and my colleagues phone number.

All in all a great night.

Korn blew it away. Ozzy, fair play to him, made it on stage. Can't believe that man is...

Hey everyone,

Hope you've had a good week. I just finished up at my current job today! Nice to not have to worry about Monday mornings anymore

I'll be starting my Masters in about 2 weeks, looking forward to that! Anyone else in Uni around London?

Back to late mornings and late nights, bliss!

Just came from a gig at Madame Jojo's. I saw Yuck (yuckband.blogspot.com). They promised so much, delivered a mediocre set. I am slightly biased though, I wanted an adrenaline rush after a very promising melodic opening. Reminded me of Exlovers to start with and something reminiscent of Midnight Juggernauts when finishing. Not as good as either by a long shot though.

Promising but needs something...

Busy setting up my LinkedIn. This, of course, means that I also have to set up Twitter and my blog domain too. I have a feeling this is the week, which has been a long time coming, when I will tackle the behhomoth that is the mess of my online presence.

At least I know a 'wizard' I.T. guy!
