On the sick - Music that is...

Been down with a cold, so killing time at home. Been spending a lot of time on this webpage:

American music player; It has the advantage that it selects music for you based on the initial choices you make. If you start with an old skool hip hop track, it'll start feeding you other songs that it considers are similar. A great way to try new music, and you refine it as you go. The sound quality is excellent too, not like listening to samples on amazon, or some of the online radio station websites I've seen.

Only downside is that you need a US zipcode for full access; but that isn't really a challenge, I apparently live inside the office for a US distribution company ;-)

Viva Las Vegas

Just got back from a few days in Vegas.
Wow, what a place. Babylon incarnate.
Not being into gambling, thought I'd not have that much fun. But got dragged to the Blackjack tables anyway.
And yes, it's true. you get free drinks whilst your gambling. So, with a Star Trek episode in mind, I set out not to win, but to mitigate losses enough to get shozzles.
Was 10 bucks and 9 drinks up when I suddenly lost the ability to count up what cards I had in front of me and it all went down hill from there.
Hotel (NewYork,NewYork) was amazing, and I can see how people wouldn't need to leave the hotel for 3 days or so, there's so much to see/do actually in the place.
Zumanity was amazingly awesome, the erotic side of Cirque de Soliel (sp?). The little midget flying around the room looked so happy with a big grin on his face. The red head in latex wi' boobs out and a big whip wasn't that bad either. Very, very cool Vegas show.
Coyote Ugly in Vegas was a bit wilder than the newly opened one in Miami (that I went to with Dave Carrick about 2 or 3 days after it had opened and the chicks dancing on the tables kinda got in the way of us trying to have a quiet beer when there was only 4-5 other people in the place). Robo recommendation on the place to visit, with the lads. I'd definately go again. The stuff/shows to see/do in all the hotels could keep you busy for ages. Wouldn't mind seeing the full on Cirque de Soliel, Prince, and the new Hasslehoff show started soon, if only to see K.I.T.T juggle midgets. Or maybe that's a different show. Maybe.

I'm shy...don't look at me

Hey all, Hope all is well? It's been awhile....mostly because I am crap. I am now once again a northern monkey :) Have moved back home to Waltham and spurned all that is London. Still working away all over the place but back most weekends now...I love this village.
Spent all of crimbo at home been very dull and quiet.

Currently in a pub in Ellesmere....I didn't have a clue where it was either until i looked on Google maps. The B&B (pub) i'm staying in has wireless which is great. So i may be more able to put random drunk ramblings up here.

right......sleep now TTFN
