Stuff!
I've been quiet, yes, but I've been sort of tired and bleh, too, so that's my excuse. Deal with it! :)
It's been a busy week, though. Monday saw the first London Metblog blogger meetup. One of the bloggers from the LA Metblog was in town, and that sort of sparked us all into action (or should that be sparkled us into motion?). We have tried to do a meetup before, but it's just not worked out.
Tuesday saw my doctor's appointment post blood tests. She confirmed that everything was fine - the liver one is a test they often see high and mine wasn't even that high. Anyway, it didn't signify anything. The ESR test (inflammation) was high, but that's completely to be expected in me because I have psoriasis and arthritis and all that jazz. Woo. She told me that I don't have anything nasty like lymphoma or leukaemia which is definitely positive and that it didn't seem to be much of anything. She predicted it would get small in a few weeks and said if it was still big in three months, I should come back. My fears have been allayed.
Then, in the afternoon, I got to meet Max, Steffen & Tina's new baby. He's just adorable. Only 10 weeks old with huge amounts of black hair and (I think) Steffen's nose. He was really sweet... I even got two smiles out of him. It was great.
Wednesday I did coffee with Evan and then hiked on up to Leighton Buzzard to spend the night with Sandi & David and partake of their fabulous company and a really yummy stir-fry. It was nice to get out of the city into a place more green, especially with all the stuff that's been going on lately.
Tonight, Matt's going to come over and we're going to install our identical 1GB of memory into our identical 12" PowerBooks. It's going to be a Mac geekfest. But we're nerdy that way, so that's okay.
Completely unrelated, the vocals in the acoustic version of The Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" are very slightly flat. It's a good version otherwise and that is driving me absolutely mad. Absolutely. Mad.

I can't either. I've decided. It's just too bad. TOO BAD! EUGH!
Yep, once you've noticed something like that in a song, it just festers and gets more obvious (and annoying) each time you hear it. Sort of the aural equivalent of having a small stone in your shoe.
It's great that your test results were so positive... umm... negative. I mean, negative in a positive way.
P.S. This post needs a link to your Health archive.

You are, as usual, correct. I cannot listen to that song.
