Hey Everyone

Hey there Blogophemics,

I wrote a neato blog yesterday detailing how I got back into my flat (I went and looked at kittens in a pet shop until my flatmate came home), how I had a kick ass time at Antilight (Chris D played a stomping set leading with Tanz Mit Laibach), how I'm feeling much better now and how I got a call from that Game Shop asking if I wanted to do an interview for the part time position.

But then Blogger.com decided that it wasn't uploading any blogs by me that day.

Anyways, that's the skinny.

Other stuff: I ran into a photog friend who snaps for Alternative London, and he told me to email him, and he would put me in touch with the editor. Which would be neato, since it would mean that I had a chance at getting published here in London. Probably not paid, but one step at a time.

Anyways, last night I went to the Cold Meat Industries experimental noise/industrial/neo-folk thing at Koko, and had a pretty good time talking to people and meeting friends.

It's weird that someone as antisocial and misanthropic as I am is so affected by the people I see at events.

Anyways, I learnt some interesting stuff: for example, the magazine Zero Tolerance (an extreme metal mag here in the UK) was apparently started by a bunch of ex-Terrorizer journalists after a disagreement over editorial direction (they were extreme-metal loyalists, Terrorizer is now a much broader church in terms of the genres it covers ie not just metal, all kinds of crazy stuff).

The bloke that told me that was a New Zealander friend of my pal Rob, whose name I didn't catch, but with whom I had a great conversation.

Unfortunately I seem to have a sore-throat/cold thing right now, but I should recover pretty quickly. I'm taking vitamins by the fistful. And getting plenty of rest.

Also: as appreciation for being her lieutenant on the ground in keeping the flat running smoothly, my landlady is buying me lunch on Thursday (don't get excited, you at the back, she has a boyfriend).

And: a the Texan Electro/Retro Girl I told you about had invited me to some see her DJ at a club on Friday. Which should be cool.

Other than that, this week will be dedicated to job applications and planning my moves writing wise.

For now, I have to run home to watch Prison Break.

Over and out.

J
