EPTOkay so only part of that is true...
For the last week or so I have experienced horrible connection speeds causing 2-3 seconds of lag on starcraft 2 making it basically unplayable for me. So for the past few days I have been relegated to watching stream and replays (Sheth's stream and DRG's Valencia replays) and messing about as terran on my friends bronze league account (now Silver :D).
This set me back noticeably and I lost all the games I played last night, only three, but three lost all the same. I was not expecting today to go much better, but I was wrong, today I saw signs of progress. My ZvP is still a little messy, but ZvZ my worst match up is feeling a lot better and my favored ZvT is getting stronger after watching DRG.

I am still feeling a little messy on this one, I am still playing a roach infestor into broodlord style.
I try and win before I get close to BLs and my timings for building placement and expansion are random from game to game so I still have much to work on in this match-up. I have Sheth's replay pack from a short time a go so I will go through and digest those games and see what I can do
Games:
Tal'Darim 1
Tal'Darim 2
Nerazim Crypt - This game was the most fun of the lot while still somewhat shaky and I feel I could have easily lost early on
ZvT
+ Show Spoiler +
My strongest match up has become stronger still after watching DRG at Valencia, I have tried to emulate his late gas two base style he used against lucifron, getting lots of lings early on before getting large muta numbers and getting infestors late on as BLs pop, I am finding a lot of success with this style but often I revert to my previous gas heavy mutalingbane style which I like equally but is perhaps less well executed.
Games:
Abyssal Caverns 1
Antiga Shipyards
Shattered Temple - In this game I tried a roach push against hellions, this is a style I've been wanting to use for a while but my execution was poorly so I feel back to my normal mutalingbane -infestorBl style. GG
Abyssal Caverns 2
ZvZ

I only played one game of ZvZ today but in general I feel like this match up is getting better for me, I understand now about how to spot all ins coming, and how to hold on in baneling v baneling battles, I am enjoying it quite a bit.
Tal'Darim
Overall I saw a great improvement in my play today, I still feel I'm a bad player but there is now small glimmers of hope, I did not fall apart in long games as I have previously and I have been offering a much nicer transition to late game tech as well as swapping supply much better agaisnt terran and protoss, all in all it was a good day.
