It's been a while...

Hmm, I haven't updated this in a while, mainly because it's been the same old slog recently - Not in a bad way, just plenty of work to be getting my teeth stuck in to. I'm slowly but surely growing my section of the business in my 'real' job (with some exciting times up ahead), to the point where I should hopefully soon be getting an assistant, the first step in building up my currently isolated job into a full-on department. In the meantime, Elite Bastards has seen a sudden Summer flood of review samples - It's almost as if all the vendors knew it was going to be a wet Summer and decided to give me something to do with my time. ;o) Anyhow, we've seen several new faces who are keen to work with us on the sampling front lately, which is always thrilling news, and that combined with some time off work has let me reach a point where I actually have more reviews on stand-by than I have time to publish each week!

Not a lot else to talk about aside from all that though - The new White Stripes album is rubbish (title track aside), I've become addicted to watching Big Brother (for my sins), Lucky Star is fast flying up my mental list of 'funniest anime ever' and, err... That's all really. I still have plenty of holiday left to take from my 'real' job before the Summer closes, but I've more or less made my mind up that I won't be going away anywhere this year - Instead, I'm seriously considering saving my money for the next twelve months to go and spend a week or two in Tokyo, Japan next year. It's somewhere I've always wanted to go and life's too short, so why not?
