Bit of an update

SO how have things been since we got back from Venice.

Well of course we had a few days back in Manchester and on the Saturday 7th we had our hand fasting. Sam and I had worked out what was most suitable, making the entire event far more intimate and personal. At around 4 our friend began to arrive. It was a good turn out, more than I expected to see considering that some people had messaged to say that they had other things on/last minute changes/seriously low funds. I was really happy to see Dan and Stacey as they had made it all the way up from London to us. Plus they had brought us presents. The most epic of toasters, coffee, cookies and honey. I was pretty much knocked back by this generosity since we had seen each other in months. Well of course that will change now we are 'down south'.

Drinks were poured and we all sat about looking at the photos we had a the time and watching the wedding video (I now can this onto the computer but need to edit it). And then we moved outside for the main event. The blessing. Sam and I exchanged our vows in a ceremony that suited our own personal beliefs, which is why it was more of an exchange of vows before the stars and universe. We then exchanged roses representing ourselves and kissed. Alan caught a really great photo of the moment.

Afterwards we all bundled into taxis and headed to the northern quarter to get food, which was an entire pain in the arse, before we all gathered back together in Socio Rehab for drinks. We were also really happy that Kirsty, Sam's friend from Ireland, got on so well with everyone.

So yes those who were there thank you. Especially Dan and Stacey for making such a long journey up to see us. It really meant a lot.

The day after was more crazy as all of Sam's family from her mum's side descended on us. Many were ok. There were just a few that were more difficult. Needless to say the day passed by and in the end things were ok.

So after all that we came back to Leamington. So far work has been ok. I have been trying to get my sleep pattern back into gear but I think the lack of stress has meant my body has decided just to get more sleep. I have my viva next tuesday so I have been preparing a bit for that. But I feel quite confident. So yes next tuesday I will be back up in Manchester for a few hours. Otherwise we met up with Ben last night and watched them kill some zombies on the Wii. It's good to have some people we know just down the road. Tomorrow after we have gone for food Sam and myself will be meeting up with some fellow goths for the first time who also live in Leamington. Should be good to speak to some like minded people.

Of course this Saturday we are heading up to Leeds on the bus to stay at Mel's for her birthday at Wendyhouse. Can't wait!

Oh and of course in preparation of starting a new roleplay group I have created a new community called etheric_labs  where all the session posts and madness can be posted

DROP CITY :ZERO

See the video so far here!!

Whoo and hooo!!!!!!!!!!

The Face of Things to Come......

One of the best test pics from the make tests last night.

And my arm looking a little worse for wear.

Zombies!

So this week has gotten better toward the end of the week.

Generally been a bit up and down working on this paper waiting and resubmitting data. Yawn. However the graphs are now taking proper form and a better picture of the results is forming.

However Thursday did see me totally forget a literature meeting and getting an bitchy email of my supervisor, however there was only so much blame I was going to take for missing it as these meetings had been jumping around the weeks rather than being on the normal friday slot.

The semi kick up the arse has been good for motivation though. When it's just you looking after your work it can get a bit tedious.

However the rest of this weekend is set to be good. Last night was 28 Weeks Later with

glittersavvy

. Uber scary, well i guess so if your that type (I'm certainly not and only flinched once, and instead just looked on in awe at the madness).
Tonight is a wedding reception with the good lady and then onto TV21 to meet with the binsraad, followed with Monday being the Manga night at TV21.

Add to that the great new cds of Emilie Autumn I ordered (got the Laced/Unlaced album.... pure violins) now just order the first album.

More than likely will get the ep's as well.

Picture time.

General random craziness of the last few days.

Most of the week has been catching up on some work for a paper and for my soon to come poster presentation in Birmingham.

Thursday was Barbecue and some random fun.

Umbongo!

Oh and the esure advert



Friday was a bit of drinking and working on ideas for the Zombie short and a jaunt to Rock World.

Saturday was pretty fun, meeting up with the regular Sin crowd for Amanda's birthday before heading back to Tofu's for the after party, which consisted of some excellent brandy, eyeliner graffiti and much ranting.

Today of course consisted of frak all as I slept of the long weekend, with tomorrow more than likely being quite quiet, with the next week being full steam ahead on some work.... so I guess I just may well go to work tomorrow and make an early start on some stuff.

Anything else... I guess not. Other than script writing, nabbing some photos to continue my ebook.

Oh and if anyone wants to open a club we spotted a great venue... however it's a bit out of the way but it did look like the right cyber venue.
