Ok, so two posts in 9 months. Am I really going to bother? Here's some things that are happening:
- Poverty:
Ali's latter half of february recipe list.
Dish 1: Corn Extravaganza
Take a bowl, decant some cornflakes from a 92p box of such from Co-op, sprinkle some sugar, add a dash of milk, sprinkle some more sugar, serve.
Sugar optional.
Milk optional.
Bowl optional.
Dish 2: It's A Bit Like Risotto!
Cook some rice, add some stock and possibly some soy sauce. Serve.
Stock not optional.
Dish 3: Pig Meat And Pressed Cow-milk Curd Heated Sandwich With Norwich Condiment.
It's a fucking cheese, ham and mustard toastie.
- Love:
Premature terminology, but I've met a girl I like a hell of a lot. There are wilting rose bushes to be traversed. Slow progress is fine.
- Bands:
Good amount of eunoia gigs, plans to record, interest from radio people.
Also small steps towards a RUSSIA record.
- A Dream:
James May of Top Gear is challenged by his colleagues to turn a cat into a dragon.
- Discoveries:
Plan B magazine, reminiscent of Careless Talk Costs Lives.
The films of Julio Medem.
Dirty Projectors, the most coherent mix of loads of styles of music I've ever heard. Amazing. Fucking odd. "What I See" is a fairly representative, good thing to listen to first.
David Lynch plays Gordon Cole in Twin Peaks. How did I not know this?
William Gaddis. Apparently influenced David Foster Wallace. Getting Hooked.
- Technological Irritation:
My laptop only recognised a power lead was there if it was delicately inserted about an eighth of the way into the socket, and even then it fucked up. I got pissed off, threw the laptop about a bit, and when that didn't solve it I just absolutely hammered the lead in as hard as I could. It now works. I wish I hadn't put blu-tac inside it though.
See you in a year, if trends continue.
