Was gonna head to London to see DJ Rashad tomorrow, hadn't clocked that he's not playing anymore. Might go see what all this Deafheaven lark's all about instead if it's not sold out.

Going to see the Pop Art Design exhibition at the Barbican next week, really excited. Low (and maybe Kode9) on Wednesday as well. Been a month or two now, can't remember the last time I went so long without going to a gig! So yeah, good week. Looking forward to AQOS tomorrow, not fancying my chances...

orangejuice | 7 Nov '13, 19:47 | X
- We had Rashad booked for a gig a few weeks back. Gutted that the tour was cancelled.
  
  Haven't seen Kode 9 since the Hyperdub party in the Rhythm Factory after Bloc 2012 went to shit.

Hiya

I'm contemplating what I shall do. I've had a best friend for the past four years but Saturday we had a massive bust up whilst drunk and we haven't spoken to each other since. It's his birthday drinks tonight and I don't know if I should go and take him presents or if I should stay away.

Any advice, anyone? He is having a joint party with another friend of mine, but I don't want to upset anyone.

- ps I should score highly in indie points if nothing else
  
  marilyninthesky @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 19:52 | X
- do you want to be friends with him again?
  
  Matt_was_taken @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 19:54 | X
  - of course
    
    but he has never apologised to me once in four years (of being wrong)*.
    
    *kidding
    
    marilyninthesky @Matt_was_taken | 7 Nov '13, 19:58 | X
    - send him a text saying that you want to go tonight
      
      that youll talk things through later on when its more suitable but concentrate on celebrating tonight. although you will stay away if hed prefer

      ethricdouble this'd this
- Is his birthday today?
  
  If so, text him to say happy birthday and take it from there.
  
  SenorDingDong @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 19:54 | X
  - I put on his Facebook wall happy birthday
    
    But I think he deleted it (which for a guy his age is childish). Do you think I should text him saying happy birthday?
    
    marilyninthesky @SenorDingDong | 7 Nov '13, 19:56 | X
    - I've got him a spanking new bit of vinyl too
      
      marilyninthesky @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 19:57 | X
    - or maybe
      
      happy birthday, do you want me at your party or wot
      
      marilyninthesky @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 19:59 | X
      - Happy birthday
        
        would like to come tonight, let me know of you would like me there.
        
        Sounds like a nice compromise
        
        Chip_Batch @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 20:35 | X
- Depends how serious the argument was?
  
  Text him a happy birthday, and tell him what you've told us; that you want to go but don't want to upset anyone. See what he says to that.
  
  Kitchmo @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 20:00 | X
- aye, as above
  
  if you don't think you'll be able to put it aside for tonight then maybe give it a miss, but surely in the name of everyone having a good time people can just be chill for a night.
  
  ethricdouble @marilyninthesky | 7 Nov '13, 20:05 | X
  - Thanks for your advice
    
    It's been really stressing me out/been on my mind this whole week. I just text him wishing him Happy Birthday and asked him if he wanted me there and he text straight back saying, 'yes of course I want you here! Come now!'.
    
    You may have saved a very special friendship, thank you.

- Will he need you to shield his shit-sodden trousers on the Underground again?
  
  If so, I'd be tempted to give it a miss

evening

haven't really done anything today. work called up which annoyed me more than it should have done, but there you go.

this evening i will either watch spurs vs whoever spurs are playing, watch a film, continue attempting to learn how to play poker or a combination of all three.

breakfast_t_england | 7 Nov '13, 19:52 | X
Still hungover, this is bullshit

Early night tonight, but first I'll listen to some nice records. Tomorrow I will mainly be practicing putting on skull make up, I'm cool like that.

what's going DiS?

i dunno man, what is going dis?

ethricdouble | 7 Nov '13, 20:05 | X
i feel ok

i had a meeting with my dissertation supervisor today and he really liked my ideas. for personal reasons i have access to a lot of very useful participants and documents. obviously some students are gonna have the social and cultural capital to conduct the research they want to do (like me, to an extent). but in the context of an increasingly competitive, underfinanced, neo-liberal 'impact' driven academic research environment, this presents ethical concerns. oh well.

DarwinDude | 7 Nov '13, 20:35 | X
- Im sure whatever these words mean are important to someone
  
  but you've still to list every pub you've ever been in.

Watching spurs (not going to win 5-0)

While I write some report stuff towards my chartership (miles off).

Yeah, it's pretty mental in my house tonight.

Chip_Batch | 7 Nov '13, 20:38 | X
- hmm, that 5-0 comment might come back to bite me
  
  Chip_Batch @Chip_Batch | 7 Nov '13, 21:31 | X
Having one beer (as I'm at work for 7 tomorrow) and watching football

Spent the day chucking a 3.5-ton strawberry around the lanes of Leicestershire and delivered a bit of shopping to some posh houses.

Have fun counting paperclips, you lot?

urbanfox | 7 Nov '13, 20:38 | X
Mildly irked

because I'm probably going to have to go into work early tomorrow. On a Friday, ffs.

Watching the Spurs game, then Y Gwyll on S4C later.

I think I've just destroyed my finger

It's bleeding from where the nail grows out of the finger and the skin has gone black and swollen. I'm going to out a plaster on it, ignore the throbbing and hope it goes away.

Tillance | 7 Nov '13, 20:49 | X
Had the pick of two exhibitions and a gig tonight

Sacked it all off because I've got a cold. Cup of tea, a book and bed - hopefully I'll be well enough to go out and get drunk tomorrow night. Forgot to do my AQOS answers too.

Evening

Going to an open mic night. Might do a couple of MJ Hibbett tunes. Also, deciding whether to do a stand up slot for a friends night. All Ive really got is insulting people who get meal deals. Stand up is going to be brutal, isnt it?

- my mate alex is always putting mj hibbert on in nottingham, you should come

I have a new indoor swimming pool!! Got home from work at 7.30 to find top floor of my flat undrr half a foot of water, again

I think there's an issue with the drain under the raised bit of my roof garden, my 75 yr old slightly drunk dad is in a taxi with a variety of axes and hammera to smash up and lift the structure. Glasgow friends are welcome to cone and spectate. I plan to go for a swim in the sitting room and drink wine.

PickledOeuf | 7 Nov '13, 22:07 | X
- oh my god :o
  
  hope there's not too much damage and it gets sorted pretty quick.
  
  although, if daddy oeuf is on the way i'm sure it will be fine.
  
  fappable @PickledOeuf | 7 Nov '13, 22:32 | X
  - He brought the army with him
    
    Literally. My flat is fine and my sundeck is still alive, but on stilts now. Offending items blocking the gutter- you can probably hazard a guess at most of it ....
    
    Ewwww.

just got back from the BIG SCIENCE QUIZ OF THE YEAR

came 5th (was in the reigning champions) out of about 30. winners got like 95/100 or something silly though so we did well, though still disappointing, imo

Jordan_229_2 | 7 Nov '13, 23:33 | X
- WAS HE?
  
  I cannot believe Imsisaed that, although I was a bit busy last night smashing up my sundeck (not a euphemism- see upthread.) I'll need to catch this on iplayer. <3 Tuplin. And btw HE IS NOT FATTER THAN ROBERT SMOTH. Have you seen smith sincve he kicked the junk? Like a cross between jo Brand and Russel Brand.
