Writing reviews really pays off, apparently! Over 80 views on my blog yesterday, and most of them from people who googled things like “skunk anansie”, “skunk anansie rockefeller” or “skunk anansie review”. I should do more of this stuff! Because, you know, only reason I blog is that I’m another attention whore.
I took photos yesterday! Or, well, Tina took photos of me. It was lots of fun, getting all prettied up to take pictures in a real studio, with real equipment and a professional photographer. We took loads of pictures! I think Tina’s gonna have a hard time narrowing it down to just four, which was the deal… She’s sending me some jpeg’s soon of the ones she’s picked so I can approve them, and then she’ll fix them up, you know, colour and contrast and stuff, and she’ll make black and white versions as well, and then she’ll send me the finished ones in full resolution to do with as I please. Yay!
Tonight we’re going out for beers! It’s one of the things I miss the most… It seems like people at the uni mostly just go out clubbing and things. The only people I know of who actually go out to the pub for a drink are Ree’s jitsu friends, and for that I’d have to go to Wolverhampton. That’s two hours traveling time for a pint… Not saying it’s never worth it, just that it’s a hassle.
So, yes, beer and people and talking and having a nice time = awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing my friends. It’s looking to be a great night, if I just get rid of this headache first…

“Being an attention wh0re” – not going to get my attention ever, at least not in a good way.
Being smart, funny and well written (I would say spoken, but we’ve never had a physical conversation) will get my attention though.
Haha! Well, you know, just going for a healthy dose of irony.
That’s as may be for you, but I was serious. No airhead beehatch attention wh0re will ever get more than a few seconds of my time. People who are smart, funny, and have something to say and/or are good writers, even if it’s just an on-line diary, are worth my time. Hmmm, maybe that sounds arrogant but I think that there are enough interesting people in the World to make the uninteresting ones worth avoiding to make more time for the interesting ones.
Maybe an example? In Buffy (series 1 particularly) I think that Buffy, Willow and Xander are interesting people, but Cordy and her crew aren’t. OTOH Cordy becomes interesting when her dad gets busted for tax evasion, and Harmony when she is vampired.
Ah, you’ve touched on my dirty little secret… I have never really watched Buffy.
But I get what you mean, and I agree. I guess this blog is my way of reaching out to the world and trying to get some people to notice me and my music… I figure it’s a worthwhile pursuit. To be fair, if I just wanted to be famous I’d probably be taking a very different approach.
Can’t watch everything, not even everything in a genre!
I’d rather just be “good at something” than just be “rich and famous”. That actually works nicely, because no-one ever got rich, or famous outside of real-time software circles by being a good real-time programmer! (8-bit games programmers excepted)
