Of late I’ve not felt like writing very much. I do, invariably at 1 or 2 am when I’m having trouble sleeping and thoughts float all around the place. I always think to myself that I must write them down the next day but then it never happens. Occasionally I drag myself out of bed and go and type for a while, but I really have to be having trouble sleeping for that to happen.

I strongly dislike the new Blogger, it’s taken something which was a fairly powerful tool and neutered it. Sure all of the information and functionality is still there but you have to go and look for it, it’s not the nice intuitive interface it use to be. In the days when AOL is moving away from it’s wall gardened and providing more advanced options, should anyone be stepping backwards?

I was chatting with Ciaran on IM this morning and LJ was a topic. (I don’t know how to link up the user names yet so I doubt that will have worked). I was also talking to my flatmate about it the other night and both mentioned the community aspect of it. It’s certainly a bonus and something perhaps which might make me use this for a while. Anyway a few days testing won’t hurt.

I’m off to see David Mamet’s Oleanna tonight. I’m looking forward to it a whole lot. Theatre is only something I really paid attention to over the past year or so and to be quite honest I haven’t seen much since then. I saw We Will Rock You over the weekend. My dad was in London and Queen are about the only musical overlap we have (tho Dylan should be in there I guess). We got some cheap tickets in Leicester Square on Saturday morning which I was very pleased for. There was no way I was paying over £100 for two tickets so when we got 2 for £50 for the matinee, I was quite happy. It was the first musical I’ve been to, not counting stuff I was dragged to as a kid) and it was really really good. It’s certainly not sold me on them in general, a huge amount of my enjoyment was due to it being Queen and the way they slotted in the songs and changed a few lyrics to fit.
