So yeah, I started a job today. Full-time temporary, for four weeks. Making websites / updating websites / styling websites… you get the idea. It’s quite good, I like the environment muchly – mostly because everyone that I’m directly working with is really geeky. It’s fantastic.

While I’m on the topic of work: I’m using a Mac (The dual-core G5, a tad outdated but still nice) and the more I use OS X, the more I come to realise that I really, really want a Mac. I’m thinking either 18th birthday or leaving for University present, and probably a MacBook(or MacBook Pro). The only thing is, I detest the Mighty Mouse and their shitty small keyboard with half the useful buttons missing.

Also, while at work today, I’ve been listening to lots of Prog Metal and remembering just why I love Progressive Music. Opeth, Porcupine Tree and Ayreon were the bands I listened to today: Opeth’s soft album, Damnation, is absolutely brilliant – Windowpane is one of the best songs I’ve heard in ages. More of the same tomorrow, I reckon. Maybe some Dream Theater thrown in there too.

Had a fantastic sandwich for lunch, from a café called Breads (in Huddersfield) – Roast Vegetables and Feta Cheese, with Sweet Chilli Sauce. I’m not normally a fan of Feta, but the combination of the veg and the sweet chilli with the sour cheese was just fantastic. The pricetag, however, wasn’t quite so great – £4.73 for a sandwich and a bottle of coke is a bit excessive. Payday’s not going to be until next Wednesday either, so I think that’ll have to be my culinary indulgence for the week haha. Still, it was good.

Downloading Visual Studio is pissing me off – the download (which is 3.3GB) has died on me twice thus far, at 56% and 77% respectively. Am about to set it going again, cross your fingers for me! And I may or may not have played a little of a certain online game this evening. Still, I’m not playing it now so we can safely say that I’m not addicted again… yet.

Also, England won the second test of the Ashes thanks to some inspired bowling by one Freddie Flintoff. He can’t claim anything like all of the credit – it is, after all, a team game – but he certainly contributed his share to the victory. I played some cricket yesterday, too, but I don’t have that much time to play a lot of it.

That’ll do for the moment, and I doubt I’ll have anything interesting to say tomorrow unless someone spontaneously combusts at work or something.

I became disillusioned with the game, and simply couldn’t be bothered logging in. However, I’ve got an itch. And I want to scratch it. In roughly one hour and two minutes according to Firefox, I will have downloaded the latest ‘big’ patch. And could well be able to log in within a couple of hours.

Not that I’m going to, I have a more pressing engagement at a friends’ house (Barbeque. My first as a vegetarian, having been since February) and need to get a bus at roughly half past one.

But I don’t want to play like I used to play. I used to be one of the best at playing my class – that wasn’t the problem – and I used to raid obsessively. I’ve decided that at first, at the very least, I’m just going to play my lower-level characters. And if I do go on my Warlock, it will be purely as a social task.

I intend to get back into my old guild. Not as a raider, just as a friend. I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate me disappearing to a top 25-man guild and then coming back and wanting to join them again, but I don’t want to raid anyway. Socially, I think they’d probably quite like me back. I don’t know, we’ll see.

Well, it’s not like I have anything better to do than to play WoW in my free time. There’s not going to be a whole lot of it this summer anyway.
