Yes, yes... I know I haven't written in you for so long!!

But that's because I've been enjoying my Xmas holiday at home and have not had the chance, or the inclination, to write a journal.

But now that I'm back at work, I will happily waste time jotting down my thoughs and happenings.

Christmas was ok, a typically non-event, the same as it was the year before. My favorite present was the old XBox that my girlfriend got me, plus three games including King Kong which is good fun. I went out a couple of days later to get some second hand games from Game. I mainly enjoy shooting stuff to shit.

I forgot to mention before I finished work I helped to shoot a music gig at the Scale near Kings Cross for a band called Pelican who are releasing a DVD. I didn't get paid, but will get a credit on the DVD and drank lots of the bands backstage beer! I had an access-all-areas pass and so could wonder freely. I felt quite cool with all these 'music' types. However, next morniung my ears were ringing cos the music was so loud! I should have got suspicious when I saw all the band members but ear plugs in!

Fast forward past several boozy parties at work and a couple of family events. The day before new years eve I saw Edward Scissorhands the show in London with my family minus Dad (who hates that kind of thing). It wasn't a great show depite our great £50 each seats. Not dark enough, not enough impressive dancing and Edward looked like a confused Harry Enfield (thats what I thought anyway!).

New Year's Eve family plus Kim, Minus brother, went out for an overpriced bad meal at a usually good restaurant. I had some dick-head on a guitar playing cheesy music with a backing track in my ear all night. It was very intrusive and over-loud. For midnight we were at home and watched it on the good old BBC... we then wished we had stayed at the flat in London as we would have had a fantastic view of the fireworks.

Since new years day, it been downhill as the everyone was gearing up for work again boohoo. New years resolution is to not stay in this job until next year... must start looking for the next step!
