I got a tat

Here I am, a young man, a crashing computer program
Here is a pen, write out my name
There's an orchestra in me, playing endlessly
I even hear it now...

Good song. So still no notebook yet. I put an extra gig of RAM into the now beast, and am waiting for Acer to replace the faulty motherboard so should be back in the swing of things this week!

Inbetween that, I've got the ol' visa to sort out, otherwise I could find myself back in CT at the end of the month. Stressed?

Hmm... oh and then there's the quarterly flat hunt. Public note to all landlords: don't advertise your property if you're renovating and aren't accepting visits. And don't make your potential occupants wait over half an hour in the rain after asking them to reschedule your viewing appointment. And then make a hasty exit from the property halfway through showing the place because one of your existing occupants asks to speak to you before you leave. Idiot.

What else. I got a tat some weeks ago. I've held off mentioning until it had healed and I could post a photo. It's inspired by George Clooney's "From Dusk Till Dawn" neck-to-hand tribal design, by tattooist Gill Montie. Which looks something like this - decent pictures are hard to find. Mine is neck-to-bicep only.

Tattoo

I wish I had time to play with pet projects. I badly want to start/finish a kick-ass Firefox theme. I want to mix red wine or cooking oil with milk and photograph the result. I want to update my portfolio, and build some more functionality into this site with what I've learnt recently. And then write about that all as well. And then teach myself how to throw a frisbee like a pro.

Lastly, you have until the end of this week to SMS to win LIVE 8 gig tickets (Hyde Park next month). Get involved, and help Make Poverty History. Saturday 2nd July will be the day the world demands justice.

You’re SO hard coda. Next thing you’ll be biting the caps off your beer bottles and riding a Harley.

Lol. Joking… it looks wicked.

Tell us more about yout tat… What did Gill (your friend that has been living with you) have to do with it and how much did it cost you? I think you should take your shirt off and get a pic of the entire tat. How does that sound to you? I think everyone else would be keen to see that as well…
Come on coda. Come on, come on…

That tattoo looks nothing like Seth’s from the movie. I have exactly the same tattoo as Seth and mine is indentical in every way. You are correct about finding good pics as nobodys design is like it. You can check mine out here and let me know what you think…

your lame

Way to try to be artsy, but seeing how you stole a gay tattoo from a movie shows no imagination whats so ever. So keep trying to be deep and maybe it will help you get layed, but I doubt it. Not to mention there are about a thousand people that have that dumb tattoo. Try being original, I know it is hard, but maybe you will have some luck with it.

thats unnecessary! i think the tattoo is cool, i think as long as it looks cool who cares where its from, and besides it is a bit different to the film
