Back from my day of corporate conferencing! It was surprisingly good!
I successfully managed to get stupidly drunk, act very, very belligerently to senior management (Yay!
) got a couple of girls attempt to pick me up. I was drinking until 5:30 am, and had to get out of bed at 7 to be able to get home!
It took about 6 hours to get back though, which really sucked, but I did have someone do the driving, which left me free to control the stereo!
That job offer sounds interesting though, they want me to work for 3 days a week around Brighton! Which is good, I have a bunch of friends down there. The downside is that Brighton is aver 200 miles away, and I'd have to work here on a monday, drive there on monday night, and return late on thursday to be able to work here on friday, that could be a killer.
Do you reckon I should go for it or not?
Anyway...
This week I have been mostly listening to:
Green day - american idiot.
Queens of the stone age - Songs for the deaf.
K666 radio - StonerRock.com's radio station.
Mark Lanegan - Scraps at midnight.
Biohazard - New world disorder
I have been reading:
The punisher,
Sin city,
The troblesome offspring of cardinal Guzman - Louis DeBernieres
Also, QOTSA have a show scheduled for somewhere TBC in London on the 3rd March - I absolutely have to go!

what type of creature is Leonard? Is he a Gecko? Excuse my ignorance, I don't mean to offend Leonard.
ahhh, you ask about Katydids (you are neither dumb nor nosey)
sweet little creatures and you are correct, they are related to grasshoppers
I posted this to my page once, seemed to fit the way I often feel:
Katydids get their name from the way their songs sound. Some katydids have been called long-horned grasshoppers because of their long and slender shape. However, all katydids are more similar and related to crickets than grasshoppers. One of the things that makes them different from their relatives is their antennae which may be two or three times the length of their body. These antennae are covered with sensory receptors that allow katydids to find their way around in the dark, when most of them are active.
Being discovered often means death for insects. Katydids are eagerly sought by sharp-eyed and hungry predators, from bats and birds to snakes and shrews. To avoid becoming another creature's meal, katydids have had to evolve cunning and devious ways to hide. Few other groups in the insect world have as wide a range of survival tactics as katydids. Katydids do everything from posing as remarkably life-like leaves to mimicking other insects in their attempts to make it through the day without being eaten.
I love their song and they seem to pop up where you'd least expect to see them. Not sure why I became so fascinated by the little creatures, but that is how I got my name Catiedid, a play on my name and my love of the sweet little creatures.
And that ends my lesson on the Katydids!
