Back Again

lady_bastet & I have returned from Whitby & the Whitby Dracula Society ball.

First & foremost, it was great to see our UK friends, karlthulhu, littlepinkfaery, gothichaven & r0chet as well as our new acquaintances Dillon & Cat, hugs to all you guys. Most of the time was spent window shopping (as a lot of places were closed for renovation but some were open) & having tea.

The Whitby Dracula Society ball itself was good fun. One or two familiar faces from the train ride last October but always hard to tell due to masks. Usual music was played with a leaning more towards trad goth. karlthulhu won scariest nightmare (Nightmares & Fairytales being theme) & gothichaven won best mask.

When all the others had headed, lady_bastet & I had a day for her birthday. Again we looked around & got her some nice pressies then went for dinner in the evening.

Long tiring journey back today finished things off. lady_bastet really likes Whitby & would give anything to live there me thinks.

And we're off...

lady_bastet & I are heading off to Whitby for the Whitby Dracula Society ball & to meet up with our UK chums.

On a negative note, as I was heading through town last night & going past Trinity, a bloke "accidentally"/on purpose kneed me in the thigh. Had to be on purpose cause it was quite high up & with considerable force (very sore). While lady_bastet can't see any motivation for such an action, I believe it was just malicious opertunity. Possibly he saw my coat or my glasses & thought "Here's someone who won't say anything back & if he does, kablamo!"

At this stage in life, I wouldn't put it past some skangers/chavs just stabbing you for something to do.

Possibly the saddest video in the entire world...

Ok... Eh... Ok... Umm...

So as many of you have probably heard Mr. Manson and Miss Dita have gone their separate ways.

What boggles my mind entirely is why Manson played away from home with a pretty and, no doubt lovely "girl", Evan Rachel Wood (who?) when he had the living goddess that is Dita Von Teese.


Pretty blonde girl

Voluptuous, burlesque, pinup, fetish goddess!!!

Over in my parent's house this weekend & my Dad & I re-jigged the broadband network setup. Router is in the attic with ethernet cables dropping down to his PC & my original Xbox. My brother will be picking up the wireless network adaptor for his Xbox 360 so he's ok.

Got Xbox Live working on my original Xbox now that I have a Gold subscription. Took a bit of work, had to setup a credit card on my gamer profile so I could validate my Gamertag on the original Xbox.

I also picked up a teeny USB keyboard for use with my Xbox 360 for text chatting & other long typing stuff, it's only 2 inches longer that my hand. I was able to cleanly remove the KeySonic logo from the top left which was bugging me.
