Should probably write something...

No, I'm not dead but I haven't posted much here recently so I suppose I should show some signs of activity since uni's starting again soon (Which''ll give me a chance to systematically alienate the other half of the course that I didn't get round to last year). Thats not to suggest that I've been sitting around on my arse all summer, Oh no, far from it. In my infinite wisdom I decided to set up a tshirt printing busines. The fact I know next to nothing about said subject, and setting it up cost me more than I'm ever likely to make from it, didn't really deter me. Another victory for gleeful optimism over common sense. I'm sure the suspect packages of chemicals which keep turning up at my door coupled with our hyde park postcode have probably got me onto some sort of homeland security register but really, it was only a matter of time anyway. Expect the website/catalogue thing-y to be up soon...

Also on the design front I've been doing varous tiny bits of freelancing which have tought me an important lesson; the fuckers rarely pay. Maybe the fact I'm so predisposed to thinking that everyones going to screw me over that it becomes a self-fullfilling prophecy doesnt help, but seriously, if someones slaved themselves silly over a hot mac for you, the least you could do is reply. If you don't like the stuff, then hey ho, fine, it happens, but at least spare the time to email to say so. Its called common decency folks. Anywho, might put some of the designs up on here so they can at least be of some use.

In other news, we now have a rabbit. Hes a hairy little bastard with a complex who gets spooked if anyone so much as looks at him. Whats that they say about pets resembling their owners?
