Yeh, I know, I haven't written anything for a couple of weeks. I've been spending a lot of time and energy on finishing up my work and looking for another contract to move on to. I haven't got anything yet, but I'm enjoying the free time I have right now. It'll end soon, when I get another role and will become busy again.
One of the issues about contracting is the time between contracts, which can be a little frustrating, so I'm going to do some focusing on full time work instead of just contracting. Bring on some stability.

I decided to add a Wordpress app to my iPhone and then discovered my blog was too old… So I upgraded Wordpress from 2.3 to 2.6. That was a bit of a mission… And then I discovered my theme was incompatible!
So I managed to find a nice theme that I liked (incredible!), upgraded that and some of the plugins, and here I am, 2 hours later…
But at least I can blog via the iPhone now…
This thing is getting better the more I use it. I can take photos, blog, twitter… all from my 'phone'. The little keyboard still takes some getting used to though.

According to you, the reader, politics is one of your favourite topics in this blog. Since you comment on political and news posts in here, but you don't (or rarely) comment in my Eyes On The World blog, and since I said I was going to do more posts in here on what you seem to like, I'm cancelling Eyes On The World. Again. But at least I'm not stopping the political commentary. Instead, I'll continue with it in this blog, keeping 'life through my eyes' focused in here, rather than spread across a couple of blogs.
If you don't like reading politics, just ignore those posts. You know the drill.

Title: mimi in NY
Description: 40 countries, 12 boats, 37 flights, 46 assholes and 6 months later… Writing for The Village Voice, avoiding Bill O'Reilly and campaigning for immigrants whilst musing on anal sex and pissing off the religious right.
Mimi, as the author of this blog calls herself, is an illegal immigrant in the US, having come over from the UK. She's been trying to find ways of legalising her stay in America, becoming a citizen. It hasn't been going according to plan. While she's been there and doing this, she's been writing about her 'adventures'. And what adventures they are.

If you click on the Categories 'button' to the right there, you'll see the del.icio.us tag cloud that I have. This is a different way of showing categories, by sorting them as tags. When you click on any of the links in the tag cloud, you'll go to the del.icio.us website where you'll be able to see all my pages that are tagged with whatever you've chosen. Over to the right of this new page you'll see my full tag cloud again. The red tag is the tag you're looking at. The green tags are other tags (and content) associated with the one you're looking at.
