scanners @ pile on

last night at pile on (battersea barge, first thursday of every month) saw a band called scanners.  my god were they good.  reminiscent of broken social scene, stunning vocals from everyone.  beautiful songs with real quality of musicianship and just a great live show all round.  cant recommend them highly enough.  go see em live if you get the chance.

hello everything

2007

well, what is this year going to bring for me?

at the start of the year everyone has many new years resolutions, but do they really keep em.  well, i am going to do my best to get properly fit, not in a losing weight manner, but actually be healthy and eat well and exercise more so that i have fit enough to do a 14 trekking holiday in the himalayas at the end of the year.  if anyone is interested in coming with me, then just drop me a line.  heres the details of where i want to go...

its a moderate to strenuous trek through nepal and tibet with a high pass near base camp i think.  anyway, it involves me being able to breathe properly at altitude.  so i best start getting fit now. 
plus, theres the london to brighton bike ride coming up in the summer and i want to be able to do that at pace this year.  thatd be fun. 

but first, theres laax in switzerland for my birthday which im muchly excited about.  4 days of snowboarding and sledging, staying at riders palace.  ooo, cant wait.  havent seen proper snow in ages.
looking at a week or so trip in the summer to sweden again.  maybe by then my swedish lessons will enable to me speak a little more confidently.  will definitely be good to practice.

and in the meantime im learning lots of new things.  flash remoting and flash communication server.  trying to get up to speed on asp.net and some more of the backend stuff.  plus getting back into coding properly and doing a couple of personal projects to improve my as2.0 efficiency.

god, why do i do this to myself.  why cant i just work and sleep.  thatd be easier.

but not as much fun x
