Christ, some of the comments on photosets are particularly overwrought. I'm pretty sure I just read "I ache to see more".

Anyway, I now have three songs for my new project entirely done, including one brand spanking new one. You see, I've just gone ahead and retrofitted the new stuff into a project I worked on about a year ago that, like all the others,...

I have 3OH!3's Don't Trust Me entirely stuck in my head. This sucks, because I don't like 3OH!3. I admire nothing they've created, and they fall into that category of "Club Music" that I utterly fail to give a shit about.

I have a three-day streak of Favourite Girls getting sets of the day. I have amazing taste, and am psychic.

Just to remind everyone that, as a Front Magazine reader, I was totally into Mel and Lora before they were cool. When they become huge, I totally get all those hipster points.

A.

So, for all I complain about work, it appears that I didn't actually have to be in all last week, except for two hours on Friday. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

I'm mildly pissed that none of my supervisors mentioned this to me when I showed up, but ce la vie. It's my own fault for not paying attention to the shift calender. I think they're giving me holiday...
