New gig's and other news

Just noticed tonight that I no longer have author access to the LPUK blog. Not sure when that happened, but given everything that has been going on lately am not surprised. I have been invited to contribute to 2 new sites, Outspoken Rabbit and Libertarian Home, which I will try to string some coherent sentences together for in the near future.

Have been a bit quiet lately, mainly due to illness. Was off work for half of last week with abdominal pains, and possible gall stone(s). Went back to work Friday but still not feeling 100%. Have to go back to see my GP next Monday so will have to wait and see what happens then (was given pills but they run out Wednesday).

Spent most of that time and the weekend juts gone in bed watching anime or playing visual novels (downloaded a trial of a game called Edelweiss which am still not sure about, reminds me a bit too much of crap anime Green Green). Also finished a short yuri visual novel called Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo which was light on plot but cute (can never have too much of a girl calling 'Onee-sama'!)

Oh and I also spend far too much money on DVD's getting the Armando Iannucci collection as was half price in HMV, and ordered Clannad After Story collection from the US. I also for the first time ordered something from Japan, which may well be the single most expensive DVD I've ever bought- this. Have seem some clips on youtube which looked pretty good (costumes and instruments were spot on, even have a trap bassist!) so should be worth it (even though you won't be able to understand most of it- ed)

Have a few fun events to look forward to, am off the the IEA tomorrow for a Voices of Freedom debate (no free booze for me though!), and another the week after. Looking further ahead is Hyper Japan next month, and the week after that the London Anime con which am still not sure if I'll go to (Male to Female and Female to Male Crossplay? Shoot me now!) Then at the end of August am going to a one day music festival in Brighton featuring one of my favourite bands The Wedding Present. Found a cheap hostel so will stay over and relive my student days!

For now, laters~
