Thanks to those who left comments. You've all got one back . You have no idea how good it feels to know i still have friends here.
Lying in bed watching Star Trek (TNG) and listening to music (the new Pendulum album, it's uber).
My day was pretty lousy to be honest.
My daily routine works along these lines:
I get up around 7:30, i put my clothes in the tumble drier, do some weights, and have a shower. After drying up i get dressed and make a smoothie then head to work.
I get to work about 8:20, giving me 40 minutes to kill. Generally i head to W H Smiths and buy The Guardian (new Berliner format, entire re-design revolving around photography, full colour on every page), and depending on the day, a photography magazine (i read The British Journal Of Photography, Professional Photographer and ocassionally Digital Photographer, Digit and Creative arts. I also read a couple of "lifestyle" magazines, Dazed And Confused, Wonderland and iD). I then sit in McDonalds (trust me, there's no where better) and drink some "coffee" (i'm a big coffee fan, i grind my own, generally Pure Kona Smiths Farm Estate or Kopi Luwak) which is horrific, but better than sitting in the cold.
From 9 to 5 i work as the lead web developer for a publishing company. It's an easy job, i create and administrate all of our databases, and our bespoke administration software (customer and sale info, every option necessary to run the business, and an affiliate scheme), this pretty much means a whole lot of programming. I get an hour paid lunch, which i used to make the most of, but the town i work in is so depressing i normally stay inside. In honesty, i get paid a lot of money to watch downloaded tv shows and spin around on my chair.
I get home around 5:30 - 6:00 and normally collapse on the sofa with my iBook for a while. Not a lot to do. I'll skip my evenings, they're fairly dynamic. Either photography, music, reading, learning, writing, drawing or sitting around talking on msn. WOO.
I was planning on shooting some photos of Vicky tonight, but she didn't show. Maybe there's a good reason for that, or maybe she's off seeing that girl she likes. I'll show you a photo of Vicky in a moment. I think i'll see her this weekend, got some shoot ideas. Not looking forward to lugging my flash heads to her house though. They're heavy, and delicate.
My exciting new friend Vicky, shot in Starbucks just before went to see an exhibition of our mutual favourite photographer, Don McCullin:
Got a shoot lined up for my friend Elliott pretty soon, But i need an old guitar to smash up for it, and i don't much feel like buying one.
Got another shoot lined up later in the month for a costume designer. Getting some models from an agency in Edinburgh, i like them, if you've seen my business card - that's the girl.
Its late and i'm tired. Enough for today!

I just shoot anything really, i just like messing about with cameras however i am lazy when it comes to photo management... hence why my iPhoto library has got out of hand. I really need to buy some new lenses to play with too...
