1) I have, of late, been a horrible bastard to many, many people. Sorry about that. Normal service will be &c. &c ( Read more... )

Well, I've been holed up with jacinthsong in Norwich for the past week, and am feeling a little bit better, despite Side-Effect City going on in my head. I think the drugs are working, because I've managed to write two short comics stories, plot a murder mystery short which could almost be described as "tightly plotted", and written a new song for the Fearful ( Read more... )

After what I thought was a severe lapse of motivation, I've just completed what amounts to a passable Chaucer commentary. Which was rather a surprise. Moreover, had lovely drinks today with various flying visitors, and a really, really good band practice with frank_snow and sable_veins. In which I got to play the bass in "She's Attracted To", which is really, really ( Read more... )

Have achieved internet after a day of myself and jacinthsong talking to helpty NTL operatives on the phone, who had failed to do something small but vital with the modem registering or some such. Moreover, the Pit now has nearly all modern amenities (including an outside toilet) aside from hot water. Because the boiler is broken and needs to be filled with ( Read more... )

Bit wiped out after having many people around while family are in Sweden, and now even more wiped out after attempting to erase all evidence of their ever having been here. Also, my kitchen is, no matter how many of them I brutally murder with a tea towel, full of bluebottles. Fat bluebottles, laughing at me. My theory is that if I can keep their ( Read more... )

Wurgh. Slighly hectic week there. Collections were disastrous, and resulted in boozing. And when I say disastrous I mean "involving an Old English Translation in which I make up a new story that contained some of the words I recognised". Also, if I die at some point in the middle of next week, it is because my Critical Theory paper has finally been ( Read more... )

It is Vitally Important that you listen to This song. Moreover, I am Tempted to persuade sable_veins and steerpikelet to play it at Wadstock. Which we are playing at yes. So come and see us.

floweringjudas - I have started work on tattoo-sketches, but am unsure as to how Goth you want it... Obviously, there's only so ungoth you can make a tattoo involving snakes and skulls, but I can ( Read more... )

Infuriatingly, I won't be back in Oxford for a bit, due to parental intransigence, so I will have to languish in Solitary High Wycombe for another day. However, my graphics tablet and microphone are back or replaced, so I can now stave off madness for a bit longer.
However, there is more important news ( cut for hair )

Ack. Have been observing radio silence on lj for rather too long and have got out of the habit. Thus, an update. I've been mostly oscillating between rotting in suburbia and engaging in wildly intellectual stints of debauchery in Oxford with steerpikelet, sable_veins and frank_snow. However, towards the end of the last one my blood started to feel dirty, and I realised, to my mild ( Read more... )
