Spring-time for Di-va in Wal-tham-stow. Win-ter for wuh-erk and bills.

I hereby loathe and despise gpilot, after it decided the really good thing to do was to synchronise the Palm to the PC, rather than the other way around, wiping the LJ entry and everything else I put in yesterday. I'll be Kubuntuing (or at least KPiloting) the laptop soonest possible.

The MP3 CAMERA got its first proper commute test yesterday ... I'll be getting noise-cancelling headphones forthwith. Given the noise levels on the Victoria Rollercoaster, I should probably be using them anyway, and you probably should be too. Any recommendations?

(I particularly recommend Original Seeds vol I and II as a commuting soundtrack: levels of substance, variety and historical interest strong enough to fight back Walthamstow and Mordor. Except Isaac Hayes' eighteen-minute version of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," which is today's "what the fucking fuck were they thinking?" prizewinner. Though I think tomorrow will be EBM.)

redcountess and arkady raised themselves bodily from their places of rest for The Producers last night at Drury Lane. It were ace. I shall have to score some suitably cashed-up IT whoredom to keep my darlings in the style to which we would like to become accustomed. HLAGH HLAGH HLAGH HLAGH HLAGH. A domestic goddess' work is never done. (flings legs in air)

This morning I interviewed at a large newspaper's online department. Could be good. Waiting to hear back on yesterday.

Update: Got it. I start a three-month contract in Morden tomorrow. £29/hour, 35 hours a week, public service. (FX: champagne cork.) Now to get an umbrella company before the end of the day, oops shite!

Update 2: Poor other pimp! Taking this one, I just said "no" to the same money to beat around Guardian Online's web servers (this morning's interview). But I did say to call again mid-November. I must change my phone message accordingly. HLAGH HLAGH HLAGH HLAGH HLAGH.

Update 3: Contracting umbrella company lined up. Here's to them not sucking.

Yep. Brilliant album. Except Isaac Hayes.

Any chance of MP3s?

[reddragdiva]

Oh, I think so!

[kineticfactory.livejournal.com]

Excellent; I'd be interested in hearing it. Do you still use SoulSeek?

[reddragdiva]

Not at present (no Windows box). I'll work my way around this somehow. Will email you at some stage.
