Posts tagged “life updates”
A big year: moved from London to San Francisco, got an iPhone, relaunched the site after 7 years, worked too hard, and blogged less than I'd like. More life updates than deep thinking, but the foundations are in place for a better 2008.
Something's going on at Widgets HQ. Also, I'm into chai tea now, but I'm keeping my non-hippy credentials intact by sticking with regular milk.
Moving across the Atlantic in days, toggling between panic and glee. Mika's *Life in Cartoon Motion* is the perfect soundtrack. Also: Barney Google was a comic strip before it was a search engine. Someone should look into that.
Got the visa! Too exhausted to elaborate. Details tomorrow.
A year in review: accidental Google fame via Orlando Bloom, skin allergies, dental hell, antibiotic depression, Ukraine, being made redundant the day after praising my job, and relocating to San Francisco. Also Snakes on a Plane was pretty good. Archives finally fixed too.
Still don't know when I'm moving to San Francisco, and won't until after January 4th. We're all just going to have to deal with the uncertainty. Also: Christmas shopping done, budget thoroughly destroyed, no regrets.
Heading to California unexpectedly! Details later. Need sleep.
Sick, soaked, and hoping for no tsunamis.
Lost my dream job Monday, had a wisdom tooth pulled today. Sitting here jobless, bleeding, unable to eat. It can only get better from here.
Went roller disco-ing for my 25th birthday and got ID'd. Best. Present. Ever. Also considering buying proper skates, since our neighbourhood has plenty of concrete.
256 posts, two bombings, two vacations, one dream job at Yahoo, and a memory so bad I had to read my own blog to remember any of it. Net result: a pretty good year.
I've got a new job! I've handed in my notice at Boltblue but can't reveal where I'm heading yet. You've got 30 days to guess. Also posted the last of my NYC photos, if you're not already tired of them.
Biological birthday came and went quietly with lovely messages. Saturday's the real celebration. If you have my number and haven't heard from me, something's gone wrong.
I've been neglecting the blog, but I'm back to updating the scratchpad. In other news: new washing machine tomorrow (hallelujah, three weeks without clean clothes), and vacation photos are up on Flickr.
Moving to Finsbury Park. Blogging may pause briefly. Also, best line of the day: being gay is a choice the same way opening your eyes is a choice. You could keep them shut, but you'd be blind your whole life.
Been slacking on daily posts, but life's busy. Went to an OUT party with Moz last night, free bar plus low turnout meant everyone got very drunk. Good times. Check my linklog for that incredible VW Polo ad.
I get paid to do work I genuinely love. Life is good. Also, my old room is up for grabs and my new living situation is shaping up to be brilliant.
2004 in quizmeme format: I rediscovered hard work, got an iPod, started a job I actually like, and remained broke despite secret long-term investments. Bush got re-elected, Kerry didn't win, and I had almost no sex. Much happier than last year, slightly thinner.
I've got a new job at boltblue, starting 8th June! I was miserable at my last place and very glad to be leaving. Buy some ringtones and logos from my new employer. Go on.
My street seems custom-built to remind me of people I know, from Topman (Matt) to Phool (eDan). Both brothers work here too. Also: MIT courses are now free online, and you can train as a BBC journalist. Now I really should do some actual work.
Just back from Edinburgh (fun) and After Dark (awful), but too hot to think straight. Moving tomorrow to a broadband-free zone, so updates will be sporadic until I wrestle ADSL out of BT. Ciao for now.
I moved to London, went job hunting, and almost immediately landed my perfect gig: PHP/SQL dev work in central London with great people and a solid salary. Starting August 11th. Now I just need to figure out where to live before my overdraft kills me.
