Well. What can I say? Disgusting behaviour, really. I sincerely apologise for my complete neglect of this blog for the best part of the last 6 months.
All I can say is that I've been busy.
Since I last posted the following has happened, but not necessarily in this order:
- Wrote and published the Ubernoise gig review in Leeds Sandman magazine (see "Ubernoise@ The Cardigan Arms" http://www.sandmanmagazine.co.uk/leeds/leedsindex.html)
- Week long holiday on a barge between Braunston in Leicestershire and Teddington Lock in London.
- Have read several books, favourites being Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy (the scene where Lee Scoresby dies in "The Subtle Knife" made me sob like a baby), and "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" ("The Da Vinci Code" is crap, but this is the research the story is drawn from, and aside from the rather preposterous history of the Priory of Sion, the ideas about Jesus, and by extension all religion, are really important).
- Holbeck hoisted peace candles as our Xmas lights. Nice.
- Bought a well expensive and rather sexy Nikon D70s Digital camera.
- Went out shooting around Leeds for the Itchy Leeds guide book 2006 (with camera).
- Am developing a few projects about identity, tradition, skills and community. Needs a lot more work over the next few weeks.
- Threw a party to celebrate my 30th birthday. Lots of curry, lots of wine, lots of good friends.
- Have started eating eggs again, and can now get close to meat (as proved by shots I took at a local butchers shop) but I have ho intention of eating it again.
- I have long hair again for the first time in about 5 years, and I like it!
- We had a big old row and trouble with our landlord, went house hunting, then decided to stay here, lost our housemates, and will be househunting again in the next few weeks.
And lots of other stuff.
And now - it's time...
My New Year Resolutions for 2006 are: -
- Be a better mate. More time and more care for my mates.
- Finish something I started - either go back to Aikido, or my Ma or get back to running, or something. Or everything!
- Throw dinner parties, cooking, talking, drinking, mates. Everything I like in one place. Exept that I'm going to drink less when not with mates. Cut my intake a bit.
- Get serious about writing and shooting. Really serious. I need to learn more about digtal and put it all into practice. That camera has to pay for itself! We're talking website, advertising, being a phototart, submitting photos and text to everything I possibly can.
- And just put my back into it all round, really. I've been a slacker for too long and let myself off 'cos I've been poorly. This is the year I get a grip!
So - on we go. And I'll try to visit more regularly, eh? Thatd be good.
See you soon,
C
