News update: January 2005

--- Gemma is still job-hunting after her unfair dismissal by UAB Idiomes. She has unemployment benefits on top of the large settlement the company gave her after meetings with CCOO Union representatives.

--- We're both spending too much time watching British TV on our new satellite system. Gemma goes for Desperate Housewives (not, I should point out, a reflection of her life; we aren't married.) - and I am finding Celebrity Big Brother strangely compelling. Especially since Big Brother seems to be evil brother this time arounddddzzzzzzzz.

--- Awaiting new albums from The Strokes, Mercury Rev, Daft Punk, Babyshambles, Super Furries and the Flaming Lips. I have high hopes for this year's music.

--- My work NT account has been disabled for two days, rendering work nearly impossible. Of course, I still have to do work - it just takes a lot longer to get done. And I miss having my email.

--- We're off to Pal-Arinsal on the second weekend in Feb. For skiing.
