Geography


This is going to be a shameless plug, really. My sister's boyfriend has just put a new album out, I've heard it, and it's brilliant! It's a kind of Jack Johnson/Bob Dylan/Paul Simon/Barenaked Ladies kinda thang, though it's hard to label. The best thing to do is to go to his myspace profile: www.myspace.com/loganwilson and have a listen there. He's also got a website up and running at www.loganwilson.com which is worth having a look at. The album will soon be available from iTunes and other music stores, but in the mean time you can email him on info@loganwilson.com for any further info... Happy listening!

MySpace stole my life



A place for friends, alright. Or for having no friends (unless you're this guy called Tom, in which case you have 78,165,521 friends - and counting), as, this week, MySpace has stolen my life. I'm not the only one, either. In the last couple of days another of my friends has fallen victim to the myspace curse. One of her friends contacted her on MySpace to tell her that she had a funny email about being addicted to MySpace - I told her to message me on MySpace so I could put this funny text up on my MySpace profile (www.myspace.com/gontofe, since you ask). This thing is taking over my life - I'm logged in all day long, fixing my profile rather than actually getting on with my uni work! It's the kind of obsession that has to stop, but it's truly addictive.
For the non-initiated, MySpace allows you to put up details of your interests (music, films etc), photos, movies, links to other sites, blogs etc, and share them with your friends (who have done the same on MySpace). You can also set up groups, forums and send each other messages. The problem is, it becomes very quickly addictive, and it becomes hard to find time to get on with work/studying/fulfilling bodily functions, such as drinking water/etc. In fact, some of you may have come here from seeing my post on MySpace. It really is hard to break the chain.
At any rate, it's time to go and cook some dinner. In the mean time, take care, and I'll see y'all on MySpace!

Tattoo

Now that it's settled down a little bit, here is a picture of my new tattoo. Granted, it's not actually finished yet, it needs filling in with all the little stars and a little tidying up. I've already booked the appointment for the 30th of the month at Physical Poetry just up the road with Dave, who did the original centre bit. The last bit (just the five stars) took around 3 hours, I can probably expect the same again for the filling in. Luckily, it wasn't too painful, just felt a little bruised afterwards. Even the bit on the shoulder wasn't too bad!

In the meanwhile, John's waiting to be told when he can start getting his back tattoo started, not sure as yet how long it's gonna be, how much it'll cost, or how big it will be!

I'll post photos on here when it's done.

Buy my T-shirts!


Hello all,

Having seen an endless stream of lame-ass T-shirts on the internet, I've decided to make my own lame-ass T-shirts.

Please buy them from http://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?sid=143241. There are a varying array of men's and women's t-shirts, some more offensive and funny than others, all extremely stylish.

Go on, buy one! You know you want to!
