Diary

Well its about high time for another dose of Epiq adventure I think, and yes, the pun was intentional. Congratulations already to those who've made it this far! You deserve much praise, but I digress, I will begin this post proper. I have had a good couple of weeks.

Since I last wrote, I have been enjoying my time here in Essex, but also spending a lot of time mulling over life and occupying my time in a very relaxed way. Such things include reading, playing the old computer games, the internet (which I will come back to in a bit) and playing poker for no money.

The biggest event, which has been documented via the magic of Facebook (again, I will come back to this later) was the trip to London on wednesday, more importantly the Paolo Nutini gig. It was such an awesome day. It started quite worryingly, as after being only 5 minutes late to the bus stop, we narrowly missed the bus to North Station, and instead of the usual service of one coming along every 20 mins, we had to wait another half hour to get the next bus. This put us already so far behind, but we were determined to enjoy whatever time we had! An amusing train journey followed, which included a great piece of artwork by myself and Cat of Gordon brown (You must ask to see it, it's very funny!) With just over 5 hours in london, we managed to fill it up with a bucketload of stuff including Hyde Park, Harrods and Krispy Kreme's, Tower Bridge, Christmas lights and Oxford/Regent Street. We also saw, not met but saw, Richard Ayaode of The IT Crowd fame on the tube a.k.a Moss. We got to the gig about half hour before doors opened, and despite feeling we were quite behind, we were in the front third of the queue by the time 7PM rolled along, and in we got while I held us a good spot at the front while Cat WC'd it. Holding onto my spot despite Cats protests, we stuck it out for approx 3 1/2 hours when we finally gave it up 3/4 way through Paolo's set. Got some great pics, if you want to see them ask myself or leave a comment.

Facebook. What a wonderful site, and a multiple of time better than myspace could ever be. I spend a lot of time on there, and it is such an easy way of spreading news of a party or event, and also a fun way of keeping in touch with old friends and current ones. Only today, I have found a number of people from my old primary school in Kingsbridge where I used to live. The only bad thing I can think of to say about it, and this is a universally known fact, is that it is way too easy to get lost on there for a long time, browsing other peoples photos, nosing on their walls, reading their notes and generally searching and enjoying all the stuff on there. I spent a good hour on there in total today and I feel a bit dirty because of it.

Future Sounds. Now, a little trivial piece of information before I go ahead with writing this. I spent about five minutes writing this whole post, possibly even more time than that, before I pasted the wrong piece of writing into it. Clicking ctrl and Z brought me back to the beginning of this paragraph, everything after it deleted, so I tried to recover old post, and whoops, another chunk of my writing gone, so I had to start all again. Don't you just hate it when that happens? Anyway, that little bit saved me from once again bigging up mine and PJ's radio show, as I always tend to do when the topic of Future Sounds comes along. instead, I will sell it to you short and sweet; Future Sounds is a radio show, on every thursday 8-10PM on RED AM, in which me and my co-presenter PJ play some good futuristic sounding music and generally banter and humour the audience. Now, there is a reason for writing all of that, and this is as follows; we have our very first clip up on the internet. In fact, by the time you read this we'll have a couple up, so go ahead and check them out at the following link:

If you want a taster, please watch out for a future video which we will shoot to promote the show (Assuming PJ is up for it!)! For now, here's a direct clip to one of our clips, enjoy ;)

And finally, just in case you weren't aware, next week is the FINAL week in Uni of this term, and so will be full of special goings on. Parties, good nights out and general antics are going to be around, so keep an eye out for plenty of photos over the next few days :)
