It's my birthday, and I'm at work... but only until 2pm :)

I just printed out a calendar of November and December to work out exactly when I'm in work and when I'm not, and if I go on a training course in December as planned I have 25 days left. I also have 20 days holiday left, so in theory I could work next week and then not come in til January 5th. would never get signed off but still, should be able to get a lot of time off.

i really should be doing something useful, but i'm plotting a really heavy next week (girlfriend is away, most of my classes have been cancelled/shortened, i'm not working) to get ahead of myself on everything.

i might do a bit of work this morning, and go see a scary film this afternoon. are there any good ones out?

Tonight: Horse Meat Disco / Lindstrom / Todd Terje / Prins Thomas. Hopefully I can stay awake until 6am with the help of a lot of coffee and not be too drunk.

Tomorrow: depending on what time we wake up: Peckham Market mayyyybe, Dulwich Hamlet cup match probbbbably, Blackheath Fireworks certainly.

Sunday: absolutely bugger all planned thank fuck.

what? you're not wearing masks?

ha ha! you're ugly!

got tickets to David Sedaris last night, which is nice.

I dont like halloween so i just threw my purple rain costume on. Think about 2 people know who prince is.

I'm putting on a gig tomorrow and there's so much to sort out. It's sold out though which is pretty rad.

Shouldn't be expected to work much today right? Seems only fair. Literally dread going into work at the moment.
Vegging out with a curry and movies tonight. Halloween stuff tomorrow.

Didn't eat breakfast because Friday's the day bacon rolls get ordered, but a load of people have brought in Halloween stuff as well. Wondering if there's some way I can just eat all morning and sleep all afternoon.

Doing absolutely nothing this weekend but will probably have to do some work. Seems to be a serious chance I'll go to bed tonight and wake up on Monday, not really had a proper night's sleep for about 2 weeks now.

I'm worried that you read that as "I've got very little work to do". No. I have *no* work to do.

One boss not in, the other looked panicked when I asked for more work. Suppose I'll just be sitting with my thumb up my arse all day, then.

Weekend: studying. Probably play some board games. Dunno, really.

I will continue to live my life

driving down to Bristol tonight. Any good record shops in Bristol that are not in the city centre? Would like to steer any daytime expeditions in that direction.

Day off on Monday, so this is my Friday if it were my Thursday.

Drinking some weird herbal tea now, will be taking on coffee and cake soon.

Tonight: The Exorcist at Hackney Picturehouse. Hope it's not one of those 'dress-up' screenings, don't want any bile on my jeans.

Tomorrow: DIY art market at Stoke Newington Village Hall.

Sunday: Manchester derby!

TV has her 30th birthday party tomorrow so loads o'booze
Dry bumming at the hands of Utd.

jammed in between 11:30 and 4:30. What the fucks that all about?

I'm dog sitting my folks dog and a friends dog tonight.
Tomorrow it's a friends b'day so no doubt some kinda pub crawl, probably end up in sleazys or stereo.
Sun - hee haw.

yeyyyyy

I ordered a pizza at 2 am and then fell asleep on the sofa before it arrived. Woke up at 7. Here I am at work

I really need to stop going to art class on Thursdays

Coming off my meds, yay (I think). Plus new car arrives today. Also, it's Friday and paydirt to boot! On the downside, 'Mac dacs'...jeez. I'm blatantly going to start using it too.

Gonna make too much tapas tonight after a super worthy week, might get pissed cause we can, then watch something terrifying. Heading to a combined 3rd & 30th b'day celebration tomorrow. No, I don't know how it works either.

Happy Friday DiS lovelies, it's going to be a good 'un.

then may go to a house show in Peckham with Doe and Playlounge.

Viewing a room tomorrow and wondering if it's too early to be doing that.

Came in at 8.30 and the guy was like 'this is the easiest job you'll ever have in your life'. There's three of us here (2 next week) and do far we've done about 10 minutes of work between us (I've done none).

i guess i don't mind it but i wish id brought a book, don't have a pc to internet on.

I had to give an award and managed to offend at least 2/3 of the room, Fred Macauley said I was a comic genius.

I've had two bacon rolls and still feel hungry, I might just go home and skive for the rest of the day.

But in a lovely chirpy mood as msmonipenni got my an areopress and its AMAZING

We went to Shoryu last night for dinner and they had a halloween special which was the most garlicky amazing ramen soup i've ever had. Oh my, can i have it again for breakfast please?!

In the main pleased with it

so a 70 minute commute became a 15 minute drive in. Getting a falafel wrap for lunch and a halloumi and mushroom burger after work. Going down to Brighton to see a Weezer covers band. Well made up today, probably the best mood I've woken up in in about a month or so.

Hope the rest of the day isn't a shitter.

had a night off from job apps and that seems to have helped

today i am going to do some freelance work whilst at my actual job

£

Hopefully I should hear back about a job today. It's a job Id really like to get.

Then tomorrow I'm playing hockey somewhere in west London, and on Sunday we're putting on a gig. It's Harald Grosskopf, Pye Corner Audio and Glottalstop at Cafe Oto, and it will be great. There are only about 30 tickets left if anyone wants one: http://www.cafeoto.co.uk/harald-grosskopf-pye-corner-audio-glottalstop.shtm

was a resounding success. 2 marriage proposals: one from Marilena (v attractive young Greek lady), one from Nate (attractive young queen, camp as a Girl Guides' Jamboree)

"Good luck, Hatfood!"
Thanks everyone
100 thisses

so in recording a radio show before halloween

done stuff i needed to do this morning
going to wash this hair mask off
dunno what else i'm doing today
^good post.

Mildly busy day at the bookshop already, with website shenanigans going on and stuff. Ate a lot of good food last night - tried goat heart for the first time and it was a winner.

Really excited about doing merry fuck all for Halloween yesssssss.

House to myself for a couple of hours until the little brats come back but I'm wasting time in my only productive part of the day. pah

it's warm and sunny. t-shirt weather. hold me

just eaten half a tub of hummus with a spoon. I feel like I've reached a very middle-class rock bottom.

onthe hgih street. like will saisnbury's have a dinky wee halloween stand containing such stuff? where else?

Work is dragging. Looking forward to my annual Halloween movie marathon tonight. This years theme is 70's horror. Will have a post work nap and then imbibe all the sugar and watch the following :

Suspiria
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Phantasm
Exorcist
Dawn Of The Dead
Nosferatu

Rest of the weekend will be spent sleeping and then radio show Sunday.

Gonna go for a run before work, and make a batch of granola (my best discovery of the autumn so far, it's SO easy and so good, dunno why anyone would buy supermarket stuff)

Weekend plans: working 4pm - 2am shifts every day. Brunch with a mate on Sunday, maybe tennis tomorrow morning, that's about as exciting as it gets atm.

coincidence that I'm getting bored/fed up now?

Having a chuckle at my desk about the 'explain your username' thread where creaky (I think?) couldn't get the hang of your explanation :D

two bleeding hours of sitting around trying not to fall asleep before a three minute chat and then a 'yeah you're approved, your stuff will be posted next week'.

blah

.... going to watch some shit horror films today, but I do that most days anyway

can't decide what to do tomorrow

sunday might possibly go see harald grosskopf, though probably not (sorry marckee)

still a bit miffed that I had to miss two of my friends birthdays to come down for an interview... The train had no wifi as well so I couldn't do any prep. Spoke to this lovely guy from Preston for most of the journey. Was a really nice interaction and got a little tap on the arm and all the best when we went our separate ways. Forgot to bring a smart top for my interview so had to spend £30 in monsoon to get the only thing that would be suitable and was in my size. I look like a pumpkin...

Interview went alright actually. I think if I don't get it it will defo be cause they don't think I'm the right fit for the role and its a bit too numbers oriented for me. Either way it's been a bit of a confidence boost to go there and leave feeling like I gave a good performance and seem like a plausible and hireable kinda candidate. Also chatted with other people who work there and they were all lovely.

+ got a distinction in my masters and they're gonna put my dissertation in the library
- I need two fillings and have worn my teeth down and now have to wear my gum guard every night till forever :(
+ I don't need to pay for my dental treatment, your tax dollars have it covered
+ being taken out for drinks then curry tonight
+ got another job interview on Monday
+ seeing one of my favourite pals on Sunday

going to jiujitsu tonight followed by some Halloween party antics in the evening and then headed back up to the home counties over the weekend to see my folks.

Going to see Lena Dunham and #1 DiSer Caitlin Moran later but going to spend money I don't have on new clothes first. I sort of want a new jacket but the weather is too good today

feel like I should've tried to exploit the season to get a full refund by saying that I was momentarily possessed by critically acclaimed otherworldly demonic force Azazel.

Kicking myself that I didn't.

The new Grouper album came through the post though, which is cheering me up as much as Liz Harris' unique brand of introspective melancholy can possibly be said cheer one up.

Hope no-one knocks so I can just eat them. Mmm delicious flowers.
In other news as of tomorrow I will be an official LMEer, so tonight will be spent packing not partying. Ah well.
Theres a Goth music night on BBC 4 tonight so theres always that.

lol just got an email saying I've won a prize for being the best student across my discipline at university. never heard of the award tbh. kinda think they just made it up for me cause they feel bad about my not get phd funding. £100 🍻

and recording tomorrow, Sunday and Monday.

Also watched Nightcrawler earlier. Enjoyed.

friends have come up from London to stay the weekend. Hurry up!

Another curry and beer friday no doubt.

However, I love working nights and seeing something grow *MATRON*.

I've bought two flasks and I'm not afraid to use them. I've also bought some goodies and will make thick cheese sandwiches for the crew.
