Against my better judgement, not to mention my meagre-till-pay-day-on-Tuesday bank balance, I went out for Halloween this weekend. It was good, because I went with friends I hadn't seen in months, and had been desperately needing to see for those months. I also saw 'Despicable Me' at the cinema, it's rather cute. I've been randomly saying "IT'S SO FLUFFAY!" at anyone who'll listen since seeing it. Also I want a minion.
No more news on my front, sadly.

Back Online
Yeah, my broadband got installed today. It's fibre optic so it goes like shite off a shovel.
One thing that keeps me going during work is the flat, and the thought of coming home to it and being nice and cosy. I never need to have the heating on for long.
I don't have a lot else to say tonight. Oh yeah, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo. Kill me now.

Four walls, a room, a door, some windows, just a place to run when my working day is through...
I don't think I've actually properly updated about anything that's happened of late, so I will now.
Basically yes, the move went well. I ended up blurting about it a little in the previous entry, which I had been trying to avoid doing while pending credit check. But it's all been sorted now, so I can tell you: I am now a tenant (together with my friend Netti) in an incredibly sexy new flat in a sexy new build in Partick. Seriously. The letting agents even supplied us with crockery, towels, bedding and stuff. Oh, and a telly. With a video and DVD player. I am more excited about the video player meself, I haven't watched my video of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' 'Pack Up the Plantation: Live!' concert in years. Mam is going to send it down to me, I await it eagerly and impatiently.
I still work that same job, so still the usual malarky with that. I'm sadly less handy for getting the staff bus to work early shifts at certain stations in the morning, which makes it a bit inconvenient. Pungs. I also imagine I'll need to stop turning down shifts and having a social life so I can afford this pad at this rate. Then again, stuff with Cargo - you know, my other job? - is picking up. The Year of Open Doors is now back in stock following a second print run. We also recently curated the spoken word event held at the List magazine's 25th birthday party, which was a great success. We have a new release coming up for Christmas, which I will keep you posted about as much as possible. Plus, my job has been made a little easier. How? Trade secret you nosy so and so.
November is also going to be 2010's Gig Month (which was October last year. Think I'll need to have a Gig Month every year now). On the 7th, my friend Lauren and I are going to see the Goo Goo Dolls at the O2 Academy. On the 10th, my friend Martin and I are going to see the Drive-By Truckers at the ABC. Then on the 11th, I fly north - first time I've been back to Shetland since January - and I'm going to see Newton Faulkner at the Clickimin Centre. Then a few days at home, then back till hopefully Christmas. Again, need to sort that with work. Could potentially cause problems.
What else? Yeah...I finally get my internet this Friday. Which is good, because I'm currently online in one of the pubs in Glasgow and it's now timing out on me, so if none of you get to read this...sorry.

Quick Update
Hello.
You'll notice I've been quiet of late.
Well, for anyone who actually reads my grandiloquent, self indulgent rants, HELLO AGAIN I'M SORRY. I have no internet in the Hillhead pad. I have tried to keep this quiet but am preparing to move to a new one. More info on this as I receive it.
Meanwhile, 'The Year of Open Doors' will be back in stock soon, go buy.
