SUNDAY THREAD
Yep. I for once do not have a hangover. Still in bed anyway though, even though I actually have a lot of stuff to do. Boring boring boring so anyway, how are you guys doing today? I imagine there are some Fenino hangovers occurring? Anyone doing anything exciting? Oooh, just remembered Sunday is Postsecret day as well.
SUNDAY!
Hi Helene
I'm still in bed too. I went to a party in some woods last night. Lots of self conscious dancing and sitting around a fire. I feel like poo now. It's my mum's bday today so I'm going around to make her some tea in a bit. Week off work YAY.
not looking forward to work next week
answering phones ain't my forte. Hopefully I can just astral project and disconnect from my consciousness or something and let myself get through the working hours like some kinda more efficient golem.
I'm moderately grumpy right now; it's too sunny and I seem to have a bastard cold again. Loadsa stuff I vaguely feel like doing, but not sure what I actually want to do... Looking forward to October though; volunteering should be fun, and then I've booked a week off and am seeing St. Vincent. Yaaaay.
What's the job, reception or something?
I've done loads of reception work, and even though I don't normally like talking to strangers on the phone, that works well for some reason. Plus it's normally busy enough to make the time pass real quick.
What kind of volunteering are you gonna be doing?
it's sort of receptiony sorta stuff
it's a small business, and someone's taken the week off so I'm taking over her job for the time being. I've done it before and the time does pass mercifully quickly, but I'm still dreading it a bit (also the phone is definitely the wankest form of communication there is).
I'm doing stewarding for the Birmingham Literature Festival on a couple of weekends; I like that sort of environment (esp. around Autumn time, coming up to Winter for some reason), seems like a nice way to meet people and generally be less of a gloomy ole twart.
Hello!
I'm in bikini and applying factor 15 as it's a bit hot here. Trying to decide whether to call a pizza or save a tenner by walking round to tesco- the latter involves getting dressed but will also yield booze. I'm supposed to be going to a surprise party later but overall been doing since thinks about it any realised that you problem with these is that the birthday surprisee doesn't get to dictate guest list and I'm pretty sure I've been asked in error. So, No show. Going back focus on pizza problem or I might see if my pal's party is still getting from last night. I love hate Sunday
Nice to see
That that^ made the usual amount of sense. I can't shiny screen properly cos of the sun!
:D
Just got a terrible fright
Because some guys in high vis jackets just appeared on a cherry picker behind my flat (construction work going on next door). My solitude is shattered so I'm going to head out to the west end for lunch. Horrid constructiony noises and whistling. It should be banned on a Sunday.
really rubbish day
Got a stinking cold, had to lug equipment round all morning, and got work to do that I couldn't finish on friday that was meant to be my day off.
Feels bad.
Here's your post though! It posted!
shit!
and it wasn't even that long (twss)
hi wr
Wrote a long post about my rubbish day and DiS crashed when I tried to post it. Ycmiu.
....I need a coffee
Aw.
I've just had a coffee. In bed. I recommend it.
I'm sacred
Going to quit my job this week, pretty much career suicide, but oh well. Got to book flights and sort out passport today too. Excited/scared
Why are you quitting? Traveling the world?
Basically that
Wife and I want to travel for 6-7 months before she pop out some little ones. Both of us are almost 30, time is ticking away!
Wow, that sounds truly amazing!
What places are you going to (that you have planned)?
Update:
Postsecret was pretty boring as usual. There was one about zombies though.
And i also just realised I have basically a massive dreadlock
Consisting of all the hair at the back of my haid because I've been too lazy to wash/brush it. Gonna hurt to get that out ;(
packing up my meagre possessions to send back to the UK tomorrow morning.
it involves far too much effort on my behalf. i am a frail human being.
think i'm going to drink some beer and procrastinate further yeah
From where?
deutschland
Uber alles
found some interesting graffiti last night

the truth will out
im at work
Lunchbreak tho
Just got out bed and had curry for the third day in a row
Woke up at half 7 a bit hungover so ended up playing Silent Hill 1, started it yesterday morning but ended up finishing it this morning. Fucking excellent game, the graphics are obviously an acquired taste these days but they kinda add to the uncomfortable nature of it. Wonderful level design and puzzles though. I love my PSone.
played Silent Hill 1 not long ago on the PSP
which I think emphasises that game's flaws a bit. I'm hoping those emulation rumours re: the PS4 turn out true, cause I'd love to play the later SHs again (esp. 2 and 4).
sat in the garden, eating pasta in my pants (pimp)
Watched a nice movie last night - blood ties.
good cast, looked beautiful, nice array of strong characters, brilliant soundtrack. went on a bit long. also noticed there was a nod to goodfellas...which was nice.
my immediate rating last night - 6.8. now a steady 6.5.
bye
Travelling up to Manchester for the Labour conference for work.
Meeting one of my friends at 10ish so will be around with a few hours to kill in the evening. Anyone recommend something to do for a few hours on a Sunday evening in the city today/tomorrow? Gonna be so bored :/
Head to the northern quarter

Been informed I've got a job interview.
Not sure I want to work for a company that decides to email me at something past 11 on a Sunday morning but oh well. Irrational faith in progress dance.
Going to spend the rest of today drinking cider and trying to watch football on my laptop in the sun.
Good luck! What is the job?
Cheers, it's just some temporary admin jive for one of the posh department stores in London
Starting some "real" work for a HIV organization in January but need something to occupy me before then or I'll go crazy!
Oh gosh
you're a "haitch" person aren't you? Ugh.
Hi again!
I've got an interview tomorrow
No idea how it's going to go. Also found out my folks were in a car crash yesterday. They were taken to hospital in an ambulance but they're home now, bit of whiplash and shock. I was supposed to be going round today but my mam said she'd like a quiet day. I'm seeing them next wknd anyway for our kids bday. Just not nice to be violently reminded of your parents mortality eh. Going to make another cup of tea
Shit. Glad to hear they're ok
Also - good luck with your interview!
Thanks
Where's yr interview?
Just cried while watching Frozen for the first time.
It's not that bad
Actually it is, my gf started watching it, I got ten mins in and left the flat and went to the pub
I was going to try and go for a run this morning
For the first time in over a year, but I couldn't get my sports bra on so I thought I'd just cut through the annoying bit but because I'm an idiot I cut one of the straps off and now I have to buy a new one next week.
I'm meant to be doing a job application now but I have zero motivation.
Yeah, pretty hungover
But still managed to get the AQOS questions up
Tell us some Fenino gossip pls
errr
guys?
what?
It's all very cryptic.
I'm hungry and I don't have much food in the house
Is mushy peas on toast a thing?
If it isn't already, I think you should make it a thing!
I've started cleaning out my room and getting ready to move next week
So much dust in my room, I've been sneezing non-stop. I've got such ridiculous amounts of clothes as well, despite having moved a ton of times in the last ten years. Like, actual mountains of clothes.
And now I can't unlock my phone for some reason which is super annoying. Trying to make it run out of battery by leaving the video camera on, hopefully that will help
reading seems to have improved my day
there's something heartwarming about how confidently Thomas Pynchon can reference Psyduck.
Also making some additions to some music.
been sitting waiting for 'the tv' to finish work for the last hour and a half
i'm drinking non-alcoholic sparkling rose because i want sweets but there aren't any sweets
too tired/sore to do anything productive
girlfriend and I went for a walk along Edinburgh's riveria
from Leith to Portabello. we saw a lot of big box retail units, a really wet dog ran over to me and sat on my feet and would not move, and then we found an international beach volleyball tournament happening. here is a flyer as proof: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ByEVM0LIUAITY3a.jpg
It's tough enough to understand why they'd organise something like in Scotland in the first place, but on a weekend in late September?!
Great selection of countries there as well!
My left knee is killing me.
Otherwise it's a good Sunday. Playing an improv gig later.
What have you done to your knee?
Mine's a bit sore today as well.
hi
i moved house today. Went out last night and got really high which I was trying not to do and smoked a bunch of cigarettes. Got a bit high today. No more getting high after this lot.
part of the reason why I moved is because I know too many people in my old town, and they all indulge me in my darker pursuits. But now I've moved I feel pretty distant from everyone I actually have any relationship with. The comfort of being able to walk into the local pub and being known is no longer available. Which I guess is the point.
Doesn't help that the place I've moved to (Ancoats in MCR) is just utterly desolate, a post industrial purgatorial deadzone with no culture or life. Nice flat though.
Thus begins mark II of ol douchie. The new testament. Where I start going to art classes and doing yoga and being going to gigs and volunteering and actually expanding myself rather than just getting liquored up and inventing new ways to be a smarmy asshat
if any of yous are ever around here give me a shout and we can go for a beer, because frankly I'm bored as fuck
congrats on the move chief, that takes balls to do that.
I have friends in Ancoats. Andy and Laura.
they are great. I now what you mean about the place though. It is a bit... isolated, although the more built up it's getting the more it's becoming a bit like an extension of the NQ.
Can I recommend this for you, it's walking distance- http://bikramyogamanchester.co.uk/
As Choudaray said, every journey begins with a single step.
Can I also recommentd that you do not leave your 90 minute bikram class, turn right and then right again and end up in Keko Moku, rehydrating with a zombie.
You will easily make new friends in that part of manchester, I did, and I didn't know a single soul when I moved there. it's friendly if you are.
this place is good for gigs and exhibitions- http://kraak.org.uk/category/events/
And this- http://soup-kitchen.co.uk/
And of course you can have The Castle as your new boozer (does Ancoats itself even have a pub?)
there is some manner of pub just down the road
Although I'm guessing it's a little bit rum. Will definitely have to poke my head in there one night
have moved in with some friend of a friend of a friend who seems like a good guy, so it's not like I'm all alone. Plus my friends wont take much convincing to cone out to NQ.
really just need to develop some hobbies that don't completely revolve around drinking. Then I should be reet
just played some jazzball
Very aggressive man tried to pull my arm out the socket. Shhok his hand at the end and gave him a patronising double tap on the back ofvthe head.
