Oh ok then, I’ll blog

June 11th, 2004

Didn’t blog for a bit. The reasons for this are rather cruel reasons of busyness. Cruel because it’s exactly the kind of busyness that makes for good blogging.

Let’s summarise the past week or so.

What’s happened? Oh yes - the photography class that was supposed to be the last one turned out to be the second-last one. Not only did we go mental trying to put together two complete portfolios in about two days, but we did so a week too early because we’re daft and got dates mixed up. On top of that, there’s a two week allowance after the end of the course to develop anything you may have undeveloped.

The stress is gone - last class tomorrow. And yes, you can see the photos*.

What else? Oh yes - played my first game of poker for real money. I made the fatal mistake of walking away £28 richer at the end of the night and I now believe that I have amazing poker-playing abilities. That moment could have been some kind of downwards turning point in my life, but only time will tell. More poker in two weeks time. The ‘no limit’ rule is being considered.

Tip: Stay sober, and play against drunk people. I believe that is the key. Have a car as an excuse, so you don’t look too unmanly. Just don’t place the keys in the middle of the table.

What else? Oh yes - the flat was due to be sold today, but it turns out that the buyer doesn’t have mortgage funds. She has two weeks to iron out the blip. I hope it’s a blip. I’ve never sued someone before.

These things happen, these things happen. It’s a blip… *sweats*

What else? Oh yes - some more unrevealable good news that will be revealed at a later date. I like this, it’s like a blog plot device.

What else? Oh yes - the company I work for are actively urging people to take unpaid overtime. I say ‘actively urging’ because they would probably contest my use of the word ‘mandatory’. This fact alone has been the largest contributor to the sudden demise in blogging activity at ybiia towers.

I’m sure there was something else, but I’ll remember it later on.
