bitch! update

ok; things are getting better. i'm not as swamped at work. at the loft, all the leaks are gone, except for the shower, and even there they replaced the head with one that doesn't point straight out the door. helen and i now have poles in the closets, so our clothes no longer hang in the living room on a beam twelve feet up, accessible only by standing on the top step of the ladder. they put shelves in those closets, too. dsl arrived on time. and while it didn't actually work at first, tech support fixed the problem (at eleven o'clock!), and the new modem is twice as fast as the old one (it's 1.5./384 Mbps, if you're a geek). it has a built in router, firewall, and it supports wireless networking. deluxe! i've run the cable to helen's office, so her machine's back up, and we're sorted on wiring.

the window on the back door is still made of wood. so it goes. still no light in my studio, but i stuck up a clamp lamp. it's not a classy ceiling-fan-mounted job, but it makes light. studio should be a little raw, really. and i got the new swing up today, so fuck it. things can't be that bad when you've got a swing. (tho this one feels much more dangerous than the old one. you've been warned.)

and helen's christmas party's on saturday! and pixies wednesday, as well as kickstart (with live girls!!! excellent!) at death disco, where i will do my damnedest not to sound like a retard again if i happen to talk to bpf. (getting to play the xxxmas party is pretty mighty, really, as death disco dublin has shane mcgowan d.j.ing for the same. and we cover the pogues! awesome!)

i've decided to give up the bitching for a while.
