I’m back in the office today after the rescheduled course. It was really good. A couple of short days around Crossharbour so a nice area too. I went to bed early last night and caught up on some sleep so I’m in a fairly good mood all in all.

Today hasn’t been so bad either. A good meeting first thing and well nothing bad since. I don’t count the stupid stupid way I threw away a game of chess at lunch but ya know shit happens.

Game stuff.
Eve first. Shiva has been renamed to Exodus to go along with the storyline. Looking forward to it quite a bit. I’m still just skilling but hopefully I’ll get back into playing it soon enough and will be able to find a new corp and have some fun. Agent running a little for the time being and getting all my learning skills and that up. Yay.

City of Heroes.
Still 29 and a bit on my main but I dinged 16 with my main alt last night. Annoyed at the power selection available, I was really hoping for a buff but no joy. Ah well. Gonna take more and more time now to get him up to anything really useful, but I shall see how it goes. Big event coming up this weekend, hoping to get some really nice badge hunting in and get a nice accolade. I’m all ready for it and the two I need should become available during the event. Really like the idea of picking up lots of enhancements too. Good fun all round and hopefully some good teaming going there. Yay.

Tomorrow I have a half day, I’m going to see The Incredibles with Andrew, Alastair and Alex. Hopefully a nice lunch somewhere before that. Off to the pub I guess afterwards before heading down to the Astoria to see Soulwax. Both Lawrence and Ciaran have dropped out which is a shame.

Murder One is good fun and I’m enjoying it. Should finish it by the weekend and I noticed last night that season 2 is now out along with all three seasons of Millennium. May well be time for an Amazon order. DS9 is on sale and I very nearly bought some seasons. I don’t know if I want to start at the start or to just pick the really good seasons and go with them. Ditto for B5. Had season 5 been on sale I’d have picked that up, but it wasn’t even on the shelf. I’ve only seen each episode there the once (if even) and would like to check em out again. It’s possibly a good thing that I don’t have a few hundred quid to spend on DVDs. I’ve been enjoying head to bed a little earlier than normal and watching them, I may well pick something else and continue on with that. It’s been a long time since I actually sat down and watched a movie. I’ve a whole load of unwatched and it would be nice to work through some of them.

Well this is quite a nerdy post after all that. Booked a couple more gigs there last night. Off to see The Subways in Barfly late on Friday night and The Polyphonic Spree on Saturday week. Another one lined up for next year with Rammstein playing in Brixton Academy. It’s been a while since I had so many gigs lined up so I’m quite pleased with that. Got two more for later in the year, a tiny gig by The Frames which I’m very happy that I was online when the email came out and The Subways again headlining the Garage. Them and The Duke Spiritare two to keep an eye on at the moment.

I see I’ve not posted much here in a while. It was a good weekend overall. Saturday I was meant to be meeting some old friends (and a new friend) from Dublin and heading out. But that all got moved to Sunday on late notice so I spent the evening in the bar at the Comics Festival with assorted V types. It was good fun and an unusual mix of people around.

Sunday was quiet enough, the people staying left pretty early and in the evening I went down Brick Lane for dinner. It was really nice food and great company. Left me (again) with lots of thoughts of things way back when and things now. Really nice to see everyone again. Going to be booking some time home later this evening. A week I think (in between gigs) sometime either the end of this November or the very start of December.

Comics are a bit shit really aren’t they? Some good stuff out tomororw but I really should move to trades on everything, singles just aren’t worth it. Superman: Birthright HC tomorrow anyway and I believe DD and the next Black Widow. Cut down time anyway for sure.

Home time.
