Another Week

So for some reason I am thinking about birthdays at the moment, most specifically my own.  I am trying to decide what to do as my usual activities aren't an option this year.  Whilst I would have liked to have done what I have for countless years past it's alright that I can't.  I had toyed with an escape to America for a week, but right now the salary won't allow that one and I haven't really the money to be doing so even if I got a much better paid job next week which isn’t likely as I have to give a month’s notice.  So my thought is that I will go to Ireland, to Dublin and partake in the Bram Stoker festival, after all it's good and Goth and also means I will be able to see some of the people I know for a good lengthy party experience.  I'll also of course be in my element because whatever I decide to wear will fit the occasion.

It seems that my soul is restless as it wasn't just the birthday I thought about travel for.  I want to take a short holiday this summer and it will  take something off my bucket list.  I will tick off the Palace at Versailles off, it's 30 years since I was in France last and I was in a small pretty town in Brittany back then and I went over with the scouts by ferry.  It could be a good experience, also depending on finances it may take in a second bucket list item, to see a show at the Moulin Rouge, but time and money will tell on that.

I’m not going to talk about work in this entry at all beyond this point as anyone who reads this knows the score there anyway.  Instead I am going to tell you more what I am doing and thinking about doing for fun in the coming months.

On top of the above trips I am thinking that towards the end of the year I will have to visit Club AntiChrist in London, it’s a Gothic/Fetish cross over and sounds like a fun place to go.  It will also of course be an excuse to either buy new clothes or dust down old ones.  I think though some new boots and perhaps a new top will be in order.

There are quite a few places I want to explore or re explore in the future but until I can get a job that pays me a significant amount more they have to be paced and realistically that for now means that any of them are going to be in Europe with direct flights from a local airport.  The others will come for sure eventually though.

I’m also adding slowly to my equipment, I recently added a charging stand to my tablet and I am hoping to get the professional flashgun for my newest camera at a reasonable price as it will mean that set up is almost complete for anything I want to use it for both indoor and outdoors.  The final few items I want for the kit haven’t yet been released so I will be waiting impatiently for them to reach a price point I can justify paying to myself.  I’m not someone who has to run the latest and greatest of anything, it just has to serve my needs.

In other news, I have dusted down my Skype accounts, so if anyone fancies a chat any time just ask for my id there, I also have twitter which is lying dormant, I really have no clue what to use it for right now, suggestions welcomed.

This week hopefully sees a few of my devices getting updated to a newer version of Android, which will mean potential for even more fun on the go, but more on that once I have confirmed it will do what I am expecting it to.

If you didn’t know this week’s entry was illustrated from pictures of Dublin taken in October last, they are of the river Liffey by night, Trinity College Dublin by night and as is pretty explanatory the logo for the Gypsy Rose bar in Dublin.
