A message from the future...

Haha, this is so surreal. I went to a guest lecture the other day and the nice lady speaker from NME said the first thing we should do to get noticed is publish a blog.

"Blog." I thought. "That's a good idea, I'm surprised I haven't done it before."

Oh wait, I had. Two years ago.

Several password changes later I stumbled across it, languishing forgotten in a dusty corner of the internet like an abandoned tamagotchi.

So, just for the record, here's what's happened to me in the last 790 or so days.

* Jemma is still miraculously with me, studying slightly inconveniently in Falmouth, a pleasant and extremely cheap seven hour train journey from Southampton.

* I'm in my third year at Solent University and have about six weeks left, so have now decided that after three years of alcohol fuelled inactivity and ennui, it's probably about time I started doing some work.

* I'm making a documentary on the fight for Cornish independence.

* I've lived in two houses, in varying degrees of squalor, and am currently holed up in a dodgy backstreet 2 up 2 down with housemates Jack and Sam, fabulously exuberant and reclusive respectively. Several doors down is a disused brothel and my bedroom window provides glorious views of the adjacent psychiatric ward.

* I bought a keyboard with my student loan and spent the rest on double vodka and cokes.

* I co-present a news and current affairs show called Newsweek on Sin Radio.

* I managed to find a good job at Southampton Guildhall serving overpriced gin and tonics to lonely middle aged women.

* In several months I will most probably be homeless and jobless, walking the streets with a tattered BA Hons qualification and a can of Tennents Special Brew, offering handjobs in return for a job in hospital radio.

So that's about it I guess. I'm going to keep updating this, hopefully posting some music reviews, witty analysis of the day's news and alcohol induced ramblings and maybe some bad poetry if you're lucky.

Stay tuned.
