Rory's gone home now. My house is tidier but I can no longer get hugs on demand. I'm probably going to Belfast for two weeks next month, but that's not now. He's installed my new hard drive and Linux finally. I can't find anything, can't make the mp3 player work and everything seems very strange. I know I'll get used to it in time but again, that's not now. I didn't manage to back up my address book,
ICQ contacts, bookmarks or email. I
did back up my
Soulseek file information, only to find that there's no way of adding it to the Linux program. I'm now using
Firefox and it's nice to have autocomplete back. We still haven't got my digital camera drivers working though.
Rory and I ended up not attending the gig we were meant to go to on Saturday. He had a headache and felt bad, but it went soon after, though it was too late to go by then. We stayed in and played on the computer instead.
Monday was fairly dull as I was at a SHIP meeting all day. In the evening, Ed, Rory and I watched some "videos" and had some "fun" which was, um,
interesting. He went home on Tuesday lunchtime and I went to get my eyebrows dyed and shaped and my eyelashes dyed at
Harvey Nichols. We ended up not dying the eyebrows as the beautician said it would look strange due to my eyebrows being very sparse. The eyelashes aren't obviously dyed, but I can tell the difference and it has helped. We also went to
Cyberdog where I spent the voucher I won last month (and some extra) on
a red 60's-ish space/futuristic dress thing. Apparently it looks really good on me. Then on top of all that,
I went and got my cheek pierced. It didn't hurt too much, it isn't immensely sore, but it is very swollen and I'm meant to use a saltwater mouthwash after every drink, piece of food or cigarette. I can't clean my teeth or yawn / laugh / smile properly. I hope it will all be worth it when it heals though, which should be in about two weeks.
And finally... have a look at a
B3tan's take off of the government's Preparing for Emergencies site, and look soon as it may not be there for much longer.
