Well another birthday has just whizzed by, the gap between them seems to get shorter and shorter. It was quite a low key affair really; it is hard to get excited when you get to old for toys. Also it being so closed to Bonfire night, most people look forward to going to bonfire parties and want to do that rather than a birthday party. I had a ( Read more... )

Went to see the classic indie band the Wedding Present last night in Camden as they were playing the full George Best album. It is 20th anniversary since they released it so they did the set plus a few other classic’s such as ‘Brassneck’ and ‘Kennedy’ It’s been a while since I went to a gig, I got diverted by planning on going to see comedy and the ( Read more... )

Well second entry in a week, things are really improving! I’m trying to get myself more on track with things, which is not easy when I am an artistic dreamer - though Loulou refers to me more unkindly - but perhaps more accurately as a ‘work shy fop’

Things took an unexpected turn on Saturday when James came round for an all day drinking and music ( Read more... )

Well it’s been one of those really torrid weeks. I don’t know how I get to the end of it without cracking. There were also a couple of amazing highs in the week which completely emphasised the bad point. Indeed the highs were so high that because of the sharp contrast I thought I was developing some form of mania! Anyway I’m not even going to bore ( Read more... )

On Saturday, we watched the Eurovision song contest - generally we hold a party and put on lots of nibbles and dress up in garish clothing, however as we were both shattered and off form we didn’t do anything for it other than collapse in front of the TV with a decanter of wine. I didn’t really enjoy it this year - it wasn’t as camp and over the ( Read more... )

And those that were dancing were thought to be insane by those that could not hear the music
- Friedrich Nietzsche

Thought I would start with that quote (despite the fact that I think I have used it before!) as I feel it describes the sort of hectic coming together or various elements of my life which, at the moment are all positive. It is ( Read more... )

Right where did I leave off? Ah yes my hectic all over the place current lifestyle. Last Friday was a good diverse night. Me and James (the guy Loulou thinks is homophobic) arranged to go out for a few beers after work. He suggested a place in Charing Cross called the Retro Bar. We had a few drinks and a natter and he said ‘there seems to be a lot ( Read more... )

Well this won’t be your traditional gripping entry, this is just an update but I need to recap on the last week or so before I forget it.

Monday I met up with

Had a great night on Wednesday, despite not being in tip top form health wise. I went out after work with the world’s most charismatic man

Well it’s Valentine’s day, a day seemingly designed to make single people feel crap. I still have the scars of being unwanted all those years - indeed it was only when I met Loulou that I had a valentines day without being suicidal.

We are doing nothing for it this year; Loulou quite rightly says that if you only express your love and affection ( Read more... )
