… To quote one of my favourite Faith No More songs.
Yes, today is my birthday - well, by the time anyone reads this it’ll be yesterday.
I hadn’t planned on doing anything in particular - all my friends live in distant lands (like the south of England), and I don’t have much money or motivation to [...]

Having received a contract on Wednesday, I posted it on the contract review thread on Dave’s ESL Café. And got some off-putting comments on it. The person commenting concluded, ‘I needed a really good laugh and this was it. Terrible terrible contract. Run! No amount of correction will change that. Move on.’
The thing about the [...]

Fraught as my existence is with loneliness, it depresses me when people don’t respond to e-mails when I was expecting some sort of reply. But I understand that people have pressures on their time, and are as capable of procrastination as me. You might intend to reply to a message, but put it off, and [...]

Life feels like limbo right at the moment. I’m waiting for my criminal record Freedom of Information access thingy to come back and in the meantime, I’m not really doing much of anything. My available funds have dropped to less than £700 now and that’s made me wary of doing stuff that would cost money [...]

Today I had a letter from Derbyshire Constabulary. It confirmed receipt of my subject access request for information about me held by the police (the new Korean regulations for granting visas mean that prospective English teachers need to have a criminal background check. If I was getting a job in the UK this would be [...]

Last week I posted a box of books to a friend in Korea. The books are for me - they’re a selection of books I own but haven’t read, and really ought to read. Plus, it’ll save me having to buy books over there (although I like buying books - hence all these unread ones). [...]

If you spend any time in London, you can expect to see the occasional random famous person - or at least a person you recognise from TV - walking down the street. You don’t expect it so much out in the provinces. I’m sitting in a Subway in the Arndale Centre, and had just finished [...]

Yesterday I went to Manchester to buy a flight case for my guitar. I’d had a little look on the internet and found that Dawson’s had Gator Stratocaster-specific cases for £50; most cases seemed to be around £50-£65 - or more expensive.
I located the store without too much trouble, but instead of going in I [...]

I was sick three times yesterday. I’m not really sure why. I stayed in bed until mid-afternoon, which left me with a headache, but not such a bad headache that it would make me nauseous. Each bout of vomiting came on very quickly. The second time, having left the toilet lid down from the previous [...]

India, Day - no, I can stop that now.
The flight from Dubai to here was fine. There was some turbulence in a couple of places, but this was made up for by the sight of the world going by underneath. I had a window seat as usual, and this time was seated right at the [...]
