And the guitars and trumpet and violin and cello etc...

( Paul and I went to see Broken Records at The Ruby Longue on Monday with Paul G and Jenny )

Or are we in fact just not very good at keeping our lj up-to-date? And by we, I obviously mean me. Apologies for the delay in posting, the fact I haven't checked my flist in ages and the fact I have no fanart to show for my absense. Anyway, I'm digressing...
What I really want to share with you is the highlights of my last few weekends... so here they are.

( Sheffield & The Killers )
( Laura's visit, Snow Patrol, Liverpool and The Killers )
( Watchmen, studying, CSI and newborn Emily )

That's all folks!

So, my latest and last OU course has started in earnest and I've been somewhat busy in the evenings. Hence, I haven't got around to posting neither my latest social exploits nor my fanart. So... here are the highlights and six wallpapers.

( Adventures in the Land of Hills and Snow )
( Journey to the Centre of Fanart )

Comments are love. Walls are for snagging. Enjoy! &hearts

I present 4 new desktop wallpapers.

As I've been on holiday for over a week now (huzzah!) I have found time inbetween the bingeing, socialising and film watching to make some new fanart. Here it is. Enjoy!

Happy New Year everyone!

I know that several people on my flist will not be sorry to see the back of 2008 and I truly do sympathise with you and hope that 2009 brings you much better times. For myself, I had a great 2008 and hope that this year will be just as good for me. I intend to approach life in the same way that brought me much joy and contentment this year, so barring the kind of tradegies and unavoidable circumstances that blighted many of my good friends this year, 2009 should be full of good times. Here's to a great year for all of us!

Now for a quick catch-up on what I got up to this holiday.

( Xmas )

( Tues 30th )

( New Year's Eve )

Next up: some fanart! Oh yes, fanart fans - I've finally got around to making some new stuff :p

Last Saturday (6th Dec), I went to see The Mighty Boosh at M.E.N. Arena.

( Accessorising will save us all )

For those of you kind enough to express an interest in my academic prowess, I am happy to inform you that I passed this year's course - with a distinction! Yay me!

I was a little worried about this year's results to be honest because, as you may or may not have noticed, I've got out more this year. I've had a year of fun and I worried if maybe I'd had a little too much fun and that my degree would suffer as a result. Apparently not. The only thing I seem to have sacrificed is sleep!

Anyway, now my lovely fella is taking me out for a celebratory meal. Huzzah!

I had a good week last week...

( Guillemots at Barbican Hall, London, 261108 )

( The Shortwave Set, Dry Bar, Manchester, 271108 )

( Samantha and I rock the Casbah in Sheffield )

( The Fratellis, Sheffield Academy 301108 )

So, I went to three gigs in a week. I spent time in three cities and I only got ~28hrs sleep in 7 days. Mostly though, I had a lot of fun and adventure (and some misadventure!). It was a great week. Life is good.
