I'm Getting Slack

I failed to blog yesterday, for which I apologise. The lure of bed was just too tempting, and during the day I was far too busy doing nothing. My new strategy, you see, is to bore myself into writing my dissertation. I really do feel like it's hanging over me now, and that's not a happy thought. Then again, I'm not sure there are too many happy thoughts around at the mo. Worries about all sorts of things, from the dissertation, to getting a job that a) makes me happy and b) enables me to continue to live in London, and the key one being worrying about if I'll ever actually be able to work in my chosen career, radio. All of these things and more are starting to really get me down.

I guess with that in mind, it's important to make the most of the little opportunities that I get to do fun things. Take yesterday, I was bored from doing nothing all day, and Phil thought we should go down to the Undercroft for a couple of drinks, which was a good laugh. Denis came with us, Stewart was at work, and we invited Robin to join us, which proved to be great fun! We spent rather a lot of time on the itbox playing Bullseye or Pub Quiz, which resulted in a lot of fun, some of which can be seen here!

I'm getting slack with blogging and Twitter, and even Facebook to a certain extent. I think it's just because I'm not doing anything at the moment, so I don't really have anything to write about, particularly on Twitter.

But I am still keeping up with the technology, the latest geek gadget that I've heard of flying around, is Google Latitude, which is basically Google Maps, but if you sign up for it, it can track your every move through your phone, which is pretty cool. Especially, if you want to know where your mates are. Aoife advised me against installing this software, in case 'bad guys want to find me'. Now, I'm sure that's a risk but it does raise the point of privacy and it is slightly scary to think that people can find you wherever you are. But with Latitude you are only visible to your chosen friends, and you can select whether or not you are visible on the move, or just at home, so I think it's pretty damn safe. Thanks for the concern though, baby!

As for today, I will make tracks into my dissertation by attempting to set up a meeting with someone from RAJAR for next week, so I can actually make some progress. Denis is now getting distracted by playing the now rather old skool GTA: San Andreas which looks unbelievably dated considering it's only 5 years old. Technology, and it's speed is scary.

I'm working again at classic overnight, so I'll head to bed again in a little while, and then I'll blog from work.

Until then, take care!
