The Dark Knight
07.25.08 | Permalink | Comments OffSaw The Dark Knight today. Given that this involves a round trip to Livingston, and generally a tight schedule as the last bus back leaves before half-past five (presumably everyone who might want to go to Harthill is supposed to be tucked up in bed soon after this), a film has to be quite an [...]

Bloody bike
Pretty much since I moved into this new place I’ve been trying to get my bike working again. The problem is the rear wheel, specifically the axle. The rear wheel keeps going loose and wobbly, which never seems to be particularly safe to me. I kept buying this piece and that piece in order to [...]

Workstations and Bird Feeders
Mum came around on Thursday, with the makings of a computer desk. Up until now, I’ve not had anywhere to comfortably work; where I could type while observing all those ergonomic Health and Safety guidelines. My only furniture consisted of a two-seater sofa and a couple of coffee tables, which ends up with me hunched [...]

One month later…
Well, it appears to be over a month since I last blogged. On the Home Office front, I’ve got an official “we can’t find you” letter from them, asking for Yet More Information. Was 1983 so far in the past that they didn’t keep proper records? So now they want my Dad’s info, and I’ll [...]

04.17.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsSo. Can’t currently work. No money coming in. No money in wallet. Time to apply for benefits, you might think? Well, no. Apparently, the Job Centre won’t even let me finish the paperwork to let the decision makers make a decision. This despite being happy to have me on benefits six months ago. A complete [...]

Progress!
04.15.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI probably should have posted that previous rant a little earlier, seeing as there has now been significant progress. It may not seem like much, but now, when phoning the Borders and Immigration Agency, they actually have details for me on their system! Which means an actual live human being has passed their actual live [...]

Oops
11.09.07 | Permalink | Comments OffWasn’t feeling too good; walk to and from town (which I think is on the order on 3-4 miles round trip) left me tired, and my head was quite sore, so I planned for a little snooze. Several hours later…

There ought to be a law against it
It’s just totally unfair, being ill on a weekend. What’s the point of being sick if you can’t take a day off? I’ve just spent one of the least pleasant weekends ever – pretty much the entire of Saturday was spent with a cloth over my eyes, fighting a migraine that was being fuelled by [...]

"Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff – writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.Tag Cloud
