So yes, I’ve a new flat now! Went to view it on Wednesday morning, rather liked it so got my deposit in a couple of hours later. The block it’s in has recently been refurbished so it’s got brand new carpets, cental heating, an electric shower, new kitchen units and an extractor fan for my cooker. It’s a bit more per month than my old flat and slightly smaller, but I think the ++s outweigh the –s. I got the keys today and am planning to get stuff moved in this coming week/weekend. Rar!

Went out to Sin on Friday evening, had a really good time. Seemed to have mucho energy and spent a lot of time on the dancefloor. As Baz is no longer DJing there, it was down to mix master Matt to entertain us for all four hours. There was a noticable lack of stuff from the noizer end of the alt electro spectrum and more synthpop and guitar based tunes, althought the goth rock set went by fairly quickly. I would say that there were were less overplayed tracks this month, but still a deficiency in the floor filling futurepop anthem department (although Chrome did get an airing and it’s been a while since I’ve heard that). I burnt a CD for Matt which included the flipside club mix of the new Apop single and the Pendulum remix of Voodoo People, but neither CD player would deign to read the CD-R. Later on had the idea that Matt should get a Last.fm account and take note of what his regulars have been listning to in the last month; this would save on us having to remember to make requests on the forum every month (which I inevitably fail to do). Many peeps came back to Andy and Jo’s to listen to music and play SNES games. Then I slept.

Went to meet my mum at 11am after a whole four hours of sleep. Showed her the flat which she seemed inpressed with, and lugged the first car load of my posessions up the stairs. Eventually got home and crashed until 9pmish. Felt I would go insane if I stayed in on a Saturday night so blindly headed over to Cage to see if anyone was out. Met up with Jim, his girlfriend (shusht, I’m terrible with names), and later on Wendy. Rocked out. Afterwards peeps lingered around outside for the customery hour or so before heading up to a mate of ’s for a gathering then a crashing.

Sunday basically consisted of myself meeting up with mum again and doing a couple of journies between my grandparents (where all my stuff is being stored) and my flat. My flat. “My flat”. Man, that sounds good to say. Now I’m off to go crash again.

Yeah, so, like, I’ve had two teeth out in the last week, one on Friday, another on Wednesday, both bottom back molars. I’d been having trouble with them for a while now and I really should have had them checked out before, but have just never got around to making the time or having the cash for that. Dundee University’s dental hospital lopped them out for free though which was nice. On both occasions the dental students had to get a supervisor to help finish the job off, and on the second one they had to get *gasp* an actual dentist to dislodge the fucker. Needless to say, I shall miss those two teeth as we had many a good time together..

Oh yeah, shit, I’ve been 22 years of age for the last 17 days, totally forgot to post about that. It’s annoying because I’d like to remain young so I can know everything, be everywhere, etc, but on the other hand get to an mid/late twenties age where bounciness is construed more as a sign of one being an ‘energetic adult’ rather than a hyperactive child, which I feel everyone things I am. Ah well, here’s to another year of learning. I really can’t skip the whole maturation process anyway :p

Hehehe, it’s like watching a train crash in slow motion. If you’ve not heard about Sony’s copy protection system that installs a rootkit on your computer which informs Sony what you are listening to, and you have a bit of time to spare, read this now. The latest news is that not only are Sony getting sued over this but good hackers have found code from a variety of GPL/LGPL open source programs within the rootkit files, and, horror of horrors, nasty hackers have used the rootkit to circumvent Blizzard’s World of Warcraft anti-cheating protection. Lots more through Technorati. Lets see what happens with this one…

Interested in NESs? Check out this and this, or wait for this.

Yeah, someone posted these cuties but I can’t remember who.

Here’s an ad form Heineken featuring some goths. And it’s funny because it’s soooo true. Cheers to Neal for that.

Fans of Lost; check this blog. It’s got some interesting stuff including an unseen before video and an animated image of something weird from the pilot ep.

P.S. PENIS CAKE!

I’m now 22 years of age. Disadvantages: I’m not young anymore. The next milestones, I have been informed, are 25 and 30, most notably because it means you’re so much closer to dying. Advantages: although I know I’ve still got a lot of stuff in reality and in my head to sort out, I’ve another years experience under my belt and I’ve a slightly better thought out plan (sketch?) in my mind for the rest of my life. I’m still looking for a flat right now. My trip to Judder has been postponed indefinitely so I can view properties and talk to the doctor about getting something to use in my appeal against the final written warning I received last week for being off ill. I’ll also need to see about visiting a dentist at some point as my fucked up teeth are starting to hurt. It’s all a bit shit really. But yeah, big flat warming party to come when I do find somewhere. I’ve not been keeping up with LJ that much in the past weeks and I’ve given up checking my mail for the moment so apologies to anything I’ve missed. If you want to contact me, comment in my journal (or on my Wikipedia talk page ;).

P.S. Hahaha, Mr. “I hate LiveJournal because it’s full of whiney teenagers” Daz has gotten himself a MySpace. Haha. Hypocrite.
