Friday was Stu's party - fancy dress 'from any 20th century era'. tokensmile decided to go sixties, and I seventies, and I have to say it worked a charm - pictures to follow. Great party; some cool people, a visit from the police, cool chats, good costumes. Was loving keeping my Red Afro on all night, and big 70s shades half the time... quite a few people I ( Read more... )

What a great weekend! Friday I was still hyper from my two-day mad dash to get my essay finished and get it up to Milton Keynes by the time I found myself at the monkeys, and then on very quickly to Turnmills for a fantastic evening with tokensmile, denari, mr_magicfingers and flippit, where our little band was completed by glowfairy_199. Hybrid kicked unfeasible amounts of ass, and I seem to have ( Read more... )

So, it's a while since I wrote anything of any substance or intelligence (some would say a long while indeed, but that's just because I haven't found out where they live yet, and hence they are still able to speak). This is because I've been ill. Pain-in-the-ass, this-is-getting-boring-now, won't-you-please-just-fuck-off ill. It started as flu, ( Read more... )

I have been slacking recently... my last entry was three weeks ago... things have been very strange and busy and cool and ill recently... the Electric Picnic was awesome... Massive Attack rocked... Pet Shop Boys were brilliant... Deus were fab... Broken Social Scene, Pendulum, Groove Armada... it was more of a bands weekend than some Glastonburys ( Read more... )

Weekend

Had a really good weekend just mostly spending time with tokensmile, although we went out two evenings, firstly for food, lots fo alcohol and assorted merriment with her new housemate and assorted chums, as well as denari (and saw tabithabunnie, jon_nyara and killsister). All good, although I did fall asleep embarrassingly. The other night was a gig in Brixton at the windmill - a mate ( Read more... )

So Barcelona... It was great. Seven miscreants (jon_nyara, altered_state, tokensmile, denari, lydb, talisair and myself), one apartment, four days, several cafes, three restaurants, two clubs, two cathedrals, one wierd park, one bottle of rum, a number of bottles of cava, countless beers, too many euros, not much sleep, and much fun.

Hmmm... I seem to go through phases of keeping up my LJ habitually, and then ignoring it altogether. Well, there is much to report. Work in Newcastle went well, and they've since contacted me about more of the same, although it will be weekend and evening work (which means it's slightly better paid), and isn't confirmed yet. I also have three ( Read more... )

Tiredness. Games. Stonedness. Lack of sleep. Organisation. Planning. Unexpected sleep. An unexpected venue. Average music. Good conversation. Bad behaviour. Folly. Grasping at straws. Guilt. Apologies. A good idea. Honesty. Frankness. Determination about motivation. Great conversation. The germ of stories. Advice. A very long enjoyable morning. An ( Read more... )

I can LJ my weekend! Which was a pretty good one. I decided that I'd take the scenic route to North East London, via the outskirts of Bristol and Hemel Hempstead, so it took me fucking ages to get there, and I noticed as I parked that a) I was chock out of petrol, and b) I was parked on top of a big chunk of masonry which was now wedged under the ( Read more... )

It does seem a bit stupid me making a big thing of doing a day's work, but other than the five days work I've done at a client's place of business, I've not done a really full day's work since... fuck, April. This being your own boss thing is harder to get the hang of than you'd think. Being your own boss means being your own boss, and doing all ( Read more... )
