Just a quick medical update. Went to see the doctor at Student Health this week. When I described symptoms to him, (and he asked a few questions, like had I visited Southeast Asia or Africa recently and slept with anyone I shouldn't have over there) he said he had no idea what was wrong with me. So they took a small bunch of blood tests (purple-, grey- and orange-yellow-capped vials, to preserve different bits of the blood), and sent them away for urgent overnight analysis.
The next day I came back, and my blood tests showed up relatively normal. I have a slightly elevated ALT (alanine aminotransferase) level - not uncommon in people suffering from nasty viral things, and I'm slightly low on folate. The doctor's best guess is that I have something viral and flu-like, and the best thing to do is rest up and hope it fixes itself soon.
I think it's slowly getting better, but it fluctuates. Today wasn't a good day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
The CD I ordered from Borders (thanks to my sister's birthday gift voucher) arrived in less than two weeks, despite them suggesting there would be a 6-8 week waiting time. So I now have a copy of Seabound's No Sleep Demon. I quite like it. Frank Spinath has a voice that's easy for me to sing along with. I may have to get a copy of Beyond Flatline sometime when I have disposable cash.

Typing at 0340 is bad for you. Especially when your room is cold and your fingers and your brain are vying to see which is number.

However I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a set at Ritual in August? The next one is this Sunday, and I've lost a dj, but its probably too late to get you on board, what with you being under the weather and the time constraints. Let me know :)

We'd probably need to make sure I knew how to use whatever equipment was going, and get whatever music I was going to play to the venue, but I'm sure that could be sorted out.
Any particular theme of stuff you're looking for? I can probably get a bunch of stuff of one sort or another together, but I guess it'd probably be a good idea to complement the other DJs, no?

Plenty of familiarisation with the equipment available. The dj's all share their setlists prior (we are doing that now for Sunday), so sets complement/don't crossover too much etc.
What's your strongest suit, music wise? We've got some deathrock/old school to new industrial, a little mainstream and this time we have a startup of atmos/eclectic/horror stuff. I'm always looking to add more depth, so you tell me your poison. The Vampyre Ball won't be so goth/industrial targeted btw. I'm looking for lushness/atmosphere as well, so it might be your forte, even?
