Some day I'll get paid enough to actually survive...

Tempted to sell myself as a pet on the internet. Reasonably clean, very affectionate, occasionally useful around the house, amusing on occasion. DO NOT ALLOW NEAR MONEY.

The gentle thumping you hear is my head bouncing off the desk. Again.

Numptiness is conquerable!

Heee, proof once again that life is just considerably easier when I actually talk to people. I had this tendency, see, to tortoise ever so slightly when dealing with finances, personal problems, work issues, health issues, anything that involved a situation in which I could imagine someone telling me off. Now I actually ring up and ask for help, and help is often forthcoming. FOR THE WIN! XD

I've just organised to pay half my water bill now and half at the end of the month instead of all in one lump sum. Instant lack of stressins. Please to thwap me and remind me about this, next time I've got my panic on...

30 days of meme

I was going to just post a song, but why post a song when I can annoy you for a month with a meme? HA!

Day 01 -> Your Favourite Song

My favourite song changes pretty much every week, depends what it is I'm in the mood for. But my favourite album of last year, definitely the best purchase, was You Don't Know, a three-disc sampler from Ninja Tune which is without doubt my favourite record label. The three discs have very different characters but they're all fantastic; at the moment I can't stop playing is this:

True Confessions by RJD2.

(Youtube link)

These're the guys who were also responsible for Ghostwriter, a song I couldn't stop bopping to when I worked at WOMAD, the song that starts of that wonderfully dreadful film Wimbledon with Paul Bettany.

This song's completely different; it sounds kind of like the soundtrack to a trailer for an awesome crime film, with crises of conscience and morals weighing against peril and guns and awesome cars and quite possibly explosions. I'm very in favour of it.

Messages of love, lust and random squishins go here. :D Please pass on the link!

Although that said, I'm totally okay with the low workload, have to sort out the Sex Is Not The Enemy Fest Masterlist for Valentines, too.

(Consider that a gentle reminder, if you've forgotten. ;))
