Long over due

Wow, its been along time since I last posted a blog, so blogging fail on my part.

Since I last posted its been one hell of a rollercoaster, but things are definatly on the up.

Blinky Media LTD is now go, with my new business partner Edd, we are working on building up an independent magazine and media publishing business, with the launch of our first title, imaginatively tittled Blinky, which will be the UKs first monthly student lifestyle magazine, things are looking great, with the website going live today and some great people getting involved.

We also have teamed up with Casio who have given us one of their cameras to play with for the magazine, so big thanks to them, its an awesome compact style with a hugeeeeeee zoom, not a EOS, but hey its half the price in the shops so cant complain.

What else have I been up to?

Erm lots of university work, im now in my final year so the assignments have a way of piling up, Ive even ventured into the library to work to try and get the work done, so scary times!

We put up our christmas tree the other day aswell, we are super christmas geeks, gotta love it! I chose the tree and may have gone a bit OTT as we now have half our living room filled with tree, but its worth it, or atleast I think so.

Ive spent the morning writing christmas cards out to all our clients and partners, so ive now got writers cramp and think im going to have a nightmare about the gold gel pen tonight, but has to be done.

New music.....

IM trying to think what new music ive checked out recently, but we have been so busy we havent had much time to listen to much, just throw on spotify and disappear in a torrent of emails and writing. However I have been reliably informed that Example (throw him into youtube im sure something will come up) is well worth checking out, he has just come of tour with Lily Allen, and we have a interview with him next week so we can give you all the low-down on what he is like then.

Also our friends at engineer record have sent me a huge stack of their latest releases so we are going to check those out this week, their acts are always worth checking out, the engineer team have a great nack of finding awesome new talent.

Cars and stuff....

So Edd has parked his shiny old (is it possible to be both? he thinks so) BMW for a freebie old escort for me to be able to learn in, also it was dirt cheap to insure compared to the BMW, but in the last 6 weeks ive been out in it once, so I think this may be a long and painful process of never having time to learn, so if anyone ever fancies playing chauffer just yell.

As always we watched Top Gear so far this series and cnat help thinking that the TG team might be onto something about building your own car, we are thinking old american V8, some decent suspension and stuff and see what happens, if only we had the time eh?

Anyways enough ranting, I need to leave something to write about next week.
