The only place to be on 31st December

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Got tickets to go to Optimo on New Year. “Optimo Richie? OPTIMO?” I hear you whine. Okay, it’s not a regular haunt of mine, and no doubt my antiquated clothing will be met with powdery snorts of derision.

New blog, etc etc

Monday, December 10th, 2007

As you’re no  doubt aware, my blog has cast aside its stabilisers and is now wobbling down the path to something that should give me a bit more flexibility to do what I like with it. It’s probably going to take me a while to get it exactly how I want given my notorious procrastination [...]
