I've had a wonderful week. DanX's birthday celebrations were a resounding success, because I got to listen to people playing guitar and harmonica and singing. You have no idea how much I enjoy that. It was making me super nostalgic, and I don't think I shut up about Open Mic Nights for ages!
I've been making a playlist of songs from the OMN back home in Cowes; if anyone's interested and has Spotify, the links below will take you to it.

(I'm never sure which one you need.)
I've been having a lot of fun with my beloved wacom tablet! Here, check out my artitude:
I traced it from a pic someone sent me, and I'm pretty pleased with the result!
Well. It's raining, and i feel terrible that I've essentially done nothing for the past two days, so I'm going to shut down the laptop and... do... something. Maybe wander around my room in ever-decreasing circles.
Interesting thing of the day: A two for one today. Firstly, I Hate Jake: a grown man reads out a childhood diary entry. I've kept a diary for a long time, maybe I'll do this some day.
Secondly, Wonderwall... as composed by Microsoft Singstar.
This youtube account has loads of Singstar-butchered classics, well worth checking out to remind yourself what actual musical talent sounds like (i.e. not like this).

Just got a spotify account - so I'll try it.
(If I can get it working on Linux that is! - which might be non-trivial)
Dickins:
"On what platforms can I use Spotify?
Mac OS X 10.4 or later and Windows XP or later. You can also run Spotify in Wine on Linux."
From the Spotify FAQ - so it looks like they tried to make it easy to get running cross-platform, so good luck!
Aw... poor kid... and all the people were laughing at him :(
It's ok Katie, using it as comedy takes the power out. It's a way of seizing control over what happened to you. I could see myself doing the same thing!
