Hope of the States were excellent. Really great gig. Was up the front for all of it and the crowd were really going wild throughout. They looked a little taken a back at the reaction throughout. Realised that was my fourth time seeing em. Saw them on the NME tour last year then supporting the Spree a week later and Glastonbury a few weeks ago. When I get paid, I’ll be booking for the fifth time in the Astoria in late October.<\/p>\n
Apparently City of Heroes has around 200k subs. That’s a pretty big number given it’s not the cheapest game to start playing. I guess it has a lot longer playability than I had originally thought. It’s been under a great bit of discussion over at the V and it struck me that if every player gets a free copy of the CoH comic, that makes it the biggest monthly comic, month in, month out. A big bit of proof that the superhero genre isn’t offputting?<\/p>\n
These new desks have a few disadvantages. People like to slow down as they go past and read the screen. It’s annoying me. I may request one of those screen guards if it keeps up.<\/p>\n
I want to go and see the Edward Hopper exhibt at the Tate before it leaves. I was just googling for it this morning to see how much booking really was required and it looks like a good bit. Pricy too but it’s got to be done.<\/p>\n
Have to sort out getting back to Dublin too. Will be looking into that as soon as I get paid at the end of the month. May see if I can do a week. I have 15 days left to take by the end of the year, five of those to make eight days in Dublin would be really good.<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve started using Firefox actively for a week or so, I really like it. It seems to loose the web connection on a regular basis which is annoying. I’ve had to jump into IE a few times today to get a page to load. I’d like a setting where I can restrict it only opening in tabs instead of new windows. Tis’nt too bad at home but I use a lot more in work and so XP grouping is on for more than one. Dead handy for IM but less so for more focused windows.<\/p>\n
On my seventh or eight attempt at this sentence and I still have no idea how to phrase it. My brain just shut down. I was working away listening to some music when all of sudden boom. Everything was wrong. I wasn’t able to concentrate on the form, I was just incapable of looking at it. All there was for that single moment was the music, up as loud as possible drowning out everything around. Unfortunatly I know exactly what caused this one. I’m just glad that the awesome live version of Idioteque<\/i> from I Might Be Wrong<\/i> was kicking off and three button presses later was going at full volume.<\/p>\n
Tonight I get to go home, sit down and do nothing. Looking forward to it. I’ll be playing some CoH and genereally doing nothing. May watch some stuff and that’ll be about that. Weekend is looking quietish. Going out Saturday evening and we’ll see how that goes but no plans for the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
