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.<\/p>\n<p>I strongly dislike the new Blogger, it&#8217;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&#8217;s not the nice intuitive interface it use to be. In the days when AOL is moving away from it&#8217;s wall gardened and providing more advanced options, should anyone be stepping backwards?<\/p>\n<p>I was chatting with Ciaran on IM this morning and LJ was a topic. (I don&#8217;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&#8217;s certainly a bonus and something perhaps which might make me use this for a while. Anyway a few days testing won&#8217;t hurt.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m off to see David Mamet&#8217;s Oleanna tonight. I&#8217;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&#8217;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 \u00a3100 for two tickets so when we got 2 for \u00a350 for the matinee, I was quite happy. It was the first musical I&#8217;ve been to, not counting stuff I was dragged to as a kid) and it was really really good. It&#8217;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. <\/p>\n<p>*cross posting from LJ for a bit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of late I&#8217;ve not felt like writing very much.
