Bad Days
Yesterday was my birthday. My better half is currently in Durban so could not join me, so my sister and her friends, plus two other friends, went out for dinner and drinks at a local casino mall … er, yes …
No Internet Access At Home
Almost the middle of December. One week and six days to Christmas. Ten days to my 27th birthday. And still no Internet access at home. I'm starting to get very anxious about that little fact, because it's going to affect my productivity if I'm working from there!

Pet Shop Boys
There’s a new Pet Shop Boys album out! I’m gonna get PopArt, sight and sound unseen. I downloaded “Positive Role Model” (legally, off their site) a few months ago and I liked it. Last album I bought without listening first was Depeche Mode’s Exciter.
