I've managed to wean myself off my addiction to itunes but seem to have swapped it with an addiction to amazon. Just spend half my wages on books.... i only feel a teeny bit guilty.... Most are about a third of the price in places like waterstones hence buying a truckload. christ...just realised its friday night and i'm sat infront of a keyboard

It's been ages since I bought a book, I think I have shown some great restraint. I really want some new ones though, especially ones on graphic design at the moment.
I've now made £15 from the google ads on the world jump project site so it's creeping up nicely! That's not even half of what it costs to keep the webspace every year though so I've still got a long way to go before I break even.
This bank holiday is pure bliss. But next week my colleague is on holiday so I'm basically on my own. If anyone rings up asking for some adjustments to their site I'm screwed cos I don't understand the ftp server. Arg.

you just reminded me that i've got to do my flash project! Haven't done any of it and its due in a couple of weeks. I'm home at my parents and they've got me packing boxes of junk and moving it into a storage place cos they're moving so its not really a holiday per say....so god knows when i'll get time.
books are my outlet. I'd rather read a book than watch TV...still, i'm sure i've contributed to a christmas bonus for one amazon employee so hopefully i'll get some good karma my way haha ;D

Adsense is annoying in that you can't cash in your money until you have $100 so it can take aaaages!

What the...? Why are google ads popping up in between posts? That's not me by the way, I don't know why they're there. Damn proboards. They must've been spying on us!

I've come up with a brilliant idea to blackmail the stage newspaper.
Either they give me a press pass to a few events or i'll sue for breach of copyright.... not in those words obviously. I have to do it soon as the events i want to go to are in May and i have some photo equipment on order that i need to get decently lit pictures.
hmmm...i hope it will work.

It will, I have faith Today at work was good. I was alone for most of the day getting on with work, listening to music, and designing an advert for some local papers. The problem is, we're a design company, and I ain't no graphic designer, so quite how I'll portray that we're great in a printed advert is beyond me. Guess I'll just have to read a few more arty magazines at work as 'research'

Thanks Mand thats really useful. I haven't had time to look into it lately been busy packing my life away in boxes. i must be a secret hoarder. i can't believe how much crap i keep!
I'm planning on getting a meeting with the editor next week. Already spoke to the pictures editor who promised it wouldn't happen again...then it did.
My only worry is my reputation as a photographer. As much as i'd like to go round demanding cash i'm slightly worried that i'll make a name for myself as a trouble maker and no one with hire me in the future.

I think I'm in love. I want to do AS Photography next year, as I'm dropping English at the end of this one. I need a 35mm SLR. I've found one in a local shop, with lens, £120. I really want it, mum doesn't want me carrying my debit card round college in case I lose it so may have to take her up into town. Nikon F55D if anyone's interested.
