Merry's weekly round-up
Things that happened this week:
* New-to-me computer arrived:
It plays DVDs and has 8x the RAM of my old one. Also I could probably run The Sims 2 on it if I wanted.
* London madness which left me glued to the tv and internet for several hours. I woke up and turned on the radio to hear Tony Blair speaking in very vague terms about "this morning's events" and had no fucking idea what he was talking about, so I had to turn on the TV. Is it odd that the first thing I did after finding out what had happed was come on SG and start reading the boards? Happy the Londoners on my friends list are okay, though.
Things that did not happen this week:
* I did not get paid for my writing work yet. Any of it. I'm offically done until I see some cash for the 3 features I'v written for the bastards. If you don't live in New Brunswick, the following will not make any sense to you: I wrote a small story for this week's paper where I interviewed a band I'm friends with. I mentioned that one of the members moved from Fred and now lives in St-Andre, but the geniuses they've got editing my work apparently thought it was a type-o and changed it so it says he lives St. Andrew's. WTF?
* Due to not getting paid for my work, I'm not going to MTL to see the Pixies this weekend. Motherfuckers.
Here's a picture of my rockstar friend Greg from a BBQ I went to a few weeks ago:
That's it.
Edited to add: I love Dr_Frank so. fucking. much.

I've always meant to read Roddy Doyle, since my little Irish boy recommended him to me. Haven't gotten around to that. For someone who reads compulsively, I've sure missed a lot.
