At the weekend, the Missus and I endeavoured to clear out the cupboard under the stairs. It was a job that needed doing and one chore we’d put off for a long, long time. At the back of this cupboard was a large box and several full plastic carrier bags, the contents of which were the combined written output of us both. Sunday was spent making cuttings from the various magazines and today I finally finished the job. It is quite odd looking back and seeing all the various reviews and features you’ve written over the years – it’s like a flicker book of your professional life. Now I am thinking that I might start scanning these items and putting them on the site to create the ultimate shrine to my talents. 😉
Of course, I jest. Putting them on the site isn’t a chance to flex my ego but to show any potential employers that I have the necessary credentials and experience to write. It was never my idea to keep the mags in the first place, that was all The Missus’s idea – she likes the idea of keeping hold of that kind of stuff. So maybe I’ll start scanning and uploading pics in the near future. It’s going to be a quite a job.
This evening, I am gripped by a stomach cramp. Not had an attack for a while and can’t think why I am in so much pain. I’ve been eating well, not drinking and getting enough sleep. I am hoping that this is just a minor cramp and not one that lasts a couple of days, otherwise I might just stay in bed tomorrow. The pain truly is excrutiating.
In the post: Fat Boy Slim – Why Try Harder (LTD Edition with Bonus DVD). I only bought this because the video “Weapon of Choice” features the Marriott Downtown in LA, which I stayed at for my 30th birthday and the video was shot just a couple of months before. So it is kind of a nice memory of exploring that hotel. The music ain’t bad either and sometimes I have to indulge my dance itch. Right here, RIght now, indeed…
