WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I have so much to do that I might end up not doing any of it. Overload. I'll manage though, I hope. NOW YOU GO.

wiping away

my eye flakes that i should have done two hours ago.
is it possible to get through a whole day forgetting to do this?
is it possible to make big circle dry things by not doing so for a week?


about to go to the pub to watch the cup final

then going out for a thai meal for my friend's 21st, going to the theatre to see Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie with her, then we are going to Manchester's premier indie disco Smile and our band will perform at the open mic nite there


Revising

Well, only as long as it takes to download the rest of season 3 of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.


Same

But with more bumfisting.

and procrastinating...i should have gone to the library instead of trying to revise at home.
oh, and i got a date later, so i'm being a stereotypical girl and thinking about what to wear.


I'm off for a pizza with my lovely sister

...with the FA cup final on in the background.....

wishing i was quaffing a bevvie and chillin..... boo.

maybe you will get chance for a bevvy laters.


Suffering. Horribly.

I was at Prodigy last night then in work for 10 this morning. I'm working till 6 then again at 7.15 at my other job. Sigh.

And also I'm being watched by a lifesize cardboard cut out of 53 year old council worker call Barb. She is truly terrifying. More so now I have stuck pins in her eyes.

I am getting through this on a combination of crack and houmous...


Staying in and saving up.

Updating the CV.
Signing a lease.


Sitting at mum's

house in Reading watching two detestable cities desperately trying to string more than three passes together. Then eating duck (now I remember why I like coming home) and then going back to Bristol for some lovin' and to find the one place in bristol that doesn't play bloody electro on a saturday night. Upstairs at thekla? Hmm...


NASTY FEST NASTY FEST

No Age! Cadence Weapon! CPWK! etc!

except I'll probably get IDd, come home, cry and read Murakami instead of reading the text I've got an exam on on wednesday.

on on.


I'm off to this yayayay!

see ya down the front!


surley they will let you in

without ID with such impecable taste?


Walking into Bournemouth to retrieve my car....

(it's parked by the surgery on Kent St in case you're concerned)

Mmmmmmmm Subway!

Making lasagna

Going to some bars

MASSIVE KIP.


absolutely nothing, probably

now that my english exam is over i can relax, which is nice. i had considered going into town and doing some shoe-shopping and record-shopping but the weather isn't very nice and i don't know if i can be bothered. so instead i shall internet for a while and read for a while and maybe try to tidy my room and maybe try to write something and then tonight i'm going to an end-of-school celebration house party. exhilirating stuff.


Will there be a keg?

And lots of teenagers holding red plastic cups?
And a group of jocks pulling up in their rad new Chevy pickup to take some girls to Makeout Point?

Ah, I miss school.


sadly not

i don't live in an american teen movie :(


oh god

i'm meant to be going out and it's half three already :(


oh shit,

I've just realised it's Saturday.

Oh shit x2
I've just realised it's 2008.


bastards

i'm already 2 and a half hours into sunday.


arse end of the world

some call it 'new zealand'.

yeah, where flight of the conchords hail from.


Always strikes me as a lovely place!

Wellington really appeals to me, swap you NZ for the UK any day of the week.


I'm going there for just over two months, July to mid-September

Can't wait. Going to be staying in Wellington for most of it, with a couple of weeks in Auckland before I fly back.

Kiwi members - any decent reccommendations of stuff to see (apart from the obvious South Island scenery type stuff, I mean more city things in Wellington/Auckland).


where about in NZ are you?

i used to live in auckland, i miss it :(


i'm in auckland

i recommend a trip to waiheke island

a night out on k'rd. sohomo club night on a thursday is rather good.

do not go out during the night to the viaduct. (daytime is fine).

kings arms is a safe bet for a good night out it terms of live music.


ha ha

good old karangahape road....
is real groovy still on queen street?
haven't been back for a few years aye, but used to live up in waiatarua.. (titirangi area etc..) Was pretty sweet.
Oh is the Powerstation still about? i used to go to gigs there a lot back in the day...


powerstation

has just come back to life... it went AWOL for a few years.

the tits, is still the tits... everyone still growing their plants.

real groovy still the same.

don't go to the VIADUCT, unless you want crap bars (overpriced) & mostly girlies without a clue (some may want).


And what's this powerstation?

Anything like Birmingham's Custard Factory?


not at all? perhaps?

powerstation now hosts an 80s night (which i've yet to find out). it might be close to rock city friday nights, perhaps?

i've only been to irish centre and the academy in brummy.


Currently writing a French essay.

Later, I'll be going to see Mt. Eerie and No Kids in a really awesome venue in Brussels!
I'M EXCITED.


marvelling at on demand television.

Then later I'm going to ARF? to see Chik Budo and Mirror! Mirror!, followed by much dancing and general merriment. Although I now have four hours to fill before I go out.


YOURE RIGHT IT IS SATURDAY!!

I got 20 quid for sweeping a lane.
Going to see bands L8r.


Dissertation

eurgh


going to the tube station with ross in about 20 mins

after that, sleeping and drinking lots.


just finished watching the FA cup final

not sure what i'll do now! some friends are coming over later.


Revising

I think I'm going to start revising.


I genuinely don't know

I've the house to myself though.

*twiddles thumbs*


nothing

have to stay in tonight to revise.
:'''(


smarse


eurgh

last night/morning is catching up with me. I went to play football in the park and now I'm achey and want to cook a steak and roast tomato salad. Sadly the FA Cup Final sucked the life out of me and I have very little gumption to do so.


yeah!

weaning off my hangover by walking round lots of record stores, buying a book and checking out the jay ryan exhibition and realising i want to buy all of his work...

house party tonights though...SUPER.


Has anyone been to feeling gloomy?

if so, is it any good?


i might

have to stay in

i don't known thr pie number for my new card. arghghgh


Urgh

I've done stuff and now I'm tired. I watched stuff on iPlayer at my girlfriend's this morning, then we went for a picnic in the park, then I bought 1000 Hurts by Shellac from a market. Then I went to play football at uni. Now I ache.


i'm wishing

i was at atp!


I'm making pirate muffins

several people have asked me what differs a pirate muffin from a normal muffin, so fear not, I will be taking a photo of them once they're all done.

I realise it's a bit late to be baking, but what can I say, I'm bored.


I can't wait for this

I hate the fact Tesco isn't open on Saturday nights. I quite fancied some late night shopping..


Those Sunday trading laws

mean it isn't open after midnight :(
It closes at 9pm ffs :(:(:(:(:(:(


that makes no sense

there are 3 whole perfectly good hours between 9 and 12. Also, sunday trading laws: a little out-dated?


haha :D

Yeah those laws are silly and just keeping the religious happy, imo.


ours is

i just ate a deep fill ham & cheddar sandwich and an entire big bag of aero bubbles. now i feel sick as well as craving human contact.

really, who schedules a bank holiday weekend two days before payday?


oooh baking!!

is always more fun when done at inappropriate hours of the night.


yeah, but

i was hoping my flatmate would be in so i could steal his vodka and get drunk whilst baking, that would have been even better. PIX BELOW.


...

I'm going to write some essays and get distracted by my cat and my bottle of water.


she's pretty distraught

the neighbour has brought his dog over from Hungary. He keeps him in the yard all the time, and I got a knock on the door from a passer by saying my neighbour's dog was in the street. I tried to usher it back in, but it kept running away from me, stopping briefly and acting coy, and then running off as soon as I got near. I ended up chasing him to the local park and around it, vaulting over fences and generally looking heroic. I got it back in the end, and now it's barking and probably won't shut up all night. Poor thing.


i made some toast

riveting


I worked

ho-hum.

We're selling a meat now called...wait for it...

jerked spatchcock. Teehehe.


Oh man

Lisa's keen on some of those


(})


({)


thanks

how do you do that?


make muffins

i'd have asked my mother, but her answer to those questions was usually "you have to be a girl."

so many years to make up for.


it's shit easy

i've been making them since i was like 12.


so you're saying

i lack experience and have probably left it too late to develop any? that i'm basically over the hill, all washed up, missed the muffin boat?


yaya!

I see now why you call 'em pirate muffins


I'm just going to go to bed

Night night.


i've had the most productive day ever

was gonna go to the clown museum, but it turns out it's only open first friday of every month.

then i was gonna go to that london to new york telectroscope thing, but i got there to find a massive queue and you have to pay a pound, and, having left all my pounds at home, had to postpone til tomorrow.

then i was gonna do something so creative and productive it was going to change my life.

but instead, i watched mean girls, changed my myspace photo, found out how to leave this message box blank (my key achievement of the day i feel), and ate too much. now i'm downloading the HEALTH/DISCO album, which might yet turn out to validate the day.


yessss

:D
