1. I'm not wearing anything, I'm in bed, but if I was wearing something it would be blue jeans, a t-shirt with an image on it, and some white trainers.

2. I didn't have any lunch, but if I had have done, it would have been a ham and cheese sandwich from the shop up the road

3. My weekend plans are to go to a wedding tomorrow that I am not looking forward to, and will probably act like a whiny bitch the whole time I'm there because I'm a dickhead. Then on sunday it's way time to tidy this place up. Kitchen is totally out of control. Tonight I will weep in the arms of my girlfriend, and beg her to kill me to prevent me from ever drinking Jack Daniels again.

4. last film i watched was trainspotting, because it was on the other night and it's been a few years. Before that it was a film called 'lord of illusions', which had scott bakula in it, and I convinced my girlfriend that he was james van der beek's dad.

Scott Bakula and James van de beek - but which is which?

1. I'm wearing cow print boxer shorts. These are giant boxer shorts from America. They come down to my knees. And also my dressing gown. And a headset as I've been watching videos.

2. I haven't had any lunch. I was intending to go out and browse xbox games at CEX, get dinner and a subway for lunch but it was raining so i had a cigarette and a cup of coffee instead.

3. Tomorrow I might go to Middle Farm near lewes which has pigs and ducks and stuff and a farm shop with 20 types of sausage and 50 types of cheese.

4. I watched the fucking short version of Pulp Fiction this morning. Does that count? Last one before that was probably Pan's Labyrinth which was good but a bit overly religious.

1. I'm wearing a black dress, green tights, brown cardi, brown scarf, black brogues.

2. I had a packet of cheese and onion McCoy's for lunch.

3. Tonight I have to do many readings. But I will also watch the Big Brother final and probably fall asleep quite early as I'm very tired. Tomorrow I am going to Bloomsbury Bowling for a friend's birthday. I might sing karaoke even though I am terrible. Babb and I will probably do a Tom Jones duet.

4. I watched was The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, last night. It was a private screening for people involved with the book. I wasn't involved with the book. I hadn't even read it. I spent a good twenty minutes before we went in to see the film pretending to know what the fuck people were talking about by nodding a lot.

1. I'm wearing a brown and white striped denim shirt, black denim drainpipes, my Redwings.

2. I had bread and hummous for lunch.

3. My weekend plans are to go to the pub this afternoon and then have an appalling hangover all weekend and mumble apologies to Liz.

4. Last film i watched was There Will Be Blood, I enjoyed it. It was very big and occasionally mad.

I've got a pair of brown cords that go really well with my black shirt. If I weren't so lazy I'd go put them on to show you. But. I am lazy. So I won't.

Instead, have a picture of the board we have up in our kitchen that Kate has filled in.

I don't remember it being religious at all?

1. Wearing a sort of weird indian print shirt. Not really sure how to describe it. Brown trousers, converse trainers.

2. Lunch was Tuna sandwiches provided by my wife

3. Weekend plans revolve around flying out to portugal for a villa holiday with about 11 other people.

4. Last film I watched was Hellboy II, which was visually dazzling but only occasionally engaging. Guillermo del Toro seemed to be a little stuck between recycling ideas from Pan's Labyrinth and auditioning new ideas for The Hobbit. It was fun though and may be worth watching just for the ceaselessly incredible character and set design, if that's your bag.

Really? The eating of the forbidden fruit and thus being told she couldn't go with Pan to his land. Being taken to sit at her father's side at the end who was not her actual father but more some heavenly character.

There was more, but this was about a month ago I watched it.

Told me about Dan and Liz - a shame, but I kind of saw that coming. Remember that party with the home made wine, when she went all weird? She said some stuff to me in the cab that didn't sound good. Anyway Neil reckons he's going to go over to Ireland next year and help out his mate on some geological dig. Sounds alright. I'd be up for that as well. Spend the spring digging. Drinking Guiness and enjoying Enya moments by the beach. Do you fancy visiting him at some point?

I just wanted to talk about my visit to Games Workshop. I've been in a really good mood all day and now you've ruined it.

Well Stevie Wonder gave quite a show. Me and Stefan got quite caned on the drive over, and by the time we were walking from the car park to the arena we were laughing at just how mashed we were. So we took our seats and sat there in an amused stoned haze as Stevie came on and did a soulful bit of harmonica just standing up front stage, and then sat down at his keyboards to get serious. I only knew probably less than half of the songs, and the sound where we were (at the back) was a bit mashed together -- when the whole band was rocking out it was just an indeterminate wall of sound, which wasn't ideal. But, still, hey, it was Stevie. He gave a nice speech about his mum Lula dying two years ago, which had the entire 15,000-strong crowd in absolute silence. He ended this (or started, I forget) by giving what seemed to me to be really genuine thanks for all the support over the years, as it had meant that his mother had had a much better life as a result, and had put his kids through school, and so on... "and I got some nice things for myself as well...", which was nice.

One of his daughters was one of the backing singers, and she did a solo song, standing next to her dad, who was playing piano, her hand resting on his shoulder. When she'd finished he started joking to her, saying "... so, you've hit the big time, huh? Playing in England! ...Hehehehe.... Just remember girl.... I was here first...." and with that he cracked up and almost fell of his stool. Later on (or earlier.... hey, I was stoned), he told us he'd played in Birmingham the night before, except he said it "Buurrmingh'm" (that's a Brummie accent), which also cracked him up. As a result of that he started wittering on in a fake cockney accent, which was very funny to hear.

As the gig went on, pretty much everyone was on their feet and having a good time, while me and Stef just sat there, happily stoned. The last third of his set was full of the oldies, the good'uns, and Superstitious was just fantastic. He played it on the original 70s Hohner Clavinet as well, which was nice to see. Livin' For The City was another real highlight (albeit a short version). And Always. And Higher Ground.

And he even played I Just Called to Say I Love You, which was funny. I was half expecting to see Paul McCartney wander on so they could do Ebony and Ivory.

The crowd was a real mixture of young'uns and old'uns, and everybody else in the middle. It was a good night, let down a bit by the sound. But it was Stevie. And Stevie is very, very cool. There was a separate drum kit set up for him, in case he fancied giving us a display, but sadly that didn't happen. He did however get up and stand on his piano stool to sing one number, which looked like a precarious venture even for someone sighted.

So, yeah, lots and lots of fun. I'm glad I saw him.

Nice write-up, Mart. My mother's also going to see Stevie in a couple of days. Doubt she'll get stoned though.

Retirement sounds awesome, I can't wait.

wud up bitches!

Friday again. Came around pretty quick this one. Dragged myself into work today though. Long story, but I had to come in. I been at home all week, sucks to be here.

Anyway we got business to attend to. We're business people and it's business time.

1. A black and white striped polo shirt, some black trousers, black shoes. I'm walking in monochrome. Ladies might be fixing to find out that I'm rocking those black jockeys, teamed with some black socks.




2. Not a single 'plan' for this weekend. I can do what I like. There's a chance a dude might call me about a thing, which would mean that I would go into the gym on Saturday to meet his ass. I don't mean meet his ass. It's street vernacular, yo. I don't meet dudes asses. But I do go to the gym. Puzzle that shit out. Apart from that, I'm hoping that Viva Pinata turns up so I can play it, and I might go to Sainsburys to buy food, so I can eat it.




3. Last film I watched was a film called 'Crying Freeman' and I watched it last night. I was just maxing out on the sofa in my pants, under a blanket, watching a film. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. It was about a dude who's like a mystical Chinese assassin and he's going up against a crew of Yakuza, and there's loads of nudity and tattoos and the assassin wears those weird underpants that don't have any material to cover the buttocks, but still have elastic going round the legs as if they did. I mean WTF right. Right. Also the chick who was the love interest had pretty hot legs, but quite an upturned nose, and for the first half of the film it seems like the camera was going on a Jim Cameron 'mission to the depths' up her Canadian shaped (see Avril Lavigne) nostrils*. This film was '95, so the gun action was very Tarantino-esque, and there were about three 'dudes dressed in black and white walking in a group in slow motion' sequences. Still though. I watched it. I watched it all.




4. For dinner last night I had eggs on toast with some smoked salmon, it was okay.




5.Last album I bought was "Ridin' Dirty" by UGK, mostly on the strength of 'Fuck my car', which is awesome. Listened to it on the way to work, and had to fight not to nod my head to that dirty south shit.




That's it from me. Back to the studio.

*she isn't Canadian, but she damn well looks it.

I am wearing olive combat trousers, an olive retro elite t-shirt and a blue and white horizontally striped jumper. It's casual Friday.

This weekend I am driving to Maidstone to go out to dinner with a friend I went to Uni with and staying at his overnight. His wife has a baby in her so she will be driving so we can get pissed. Hoorah.

I watched Unbreakable last night just because it was on and I couldn't be bothered to put a DVD on. I didn't like it much the first time I saw it and it didn't improve greatly upon repeated viewing.

Dinner last night was macaroni cheese with bacon. It was pretty good. Tonight I am making thai prawn and chicken cakes with a sweet chilli dipping sauce. It should be good.

Last album I bought was Mantra III by the Spiritual Beggars. I already owned this album and was going to send it to Thorn, but the day it arrived he texted me telling me that he had bought the album himself so I didn't bother to send it.

Tonight I am going to the pub. I will probably play pool. And lose.

I haven't watched a film this week but I did watch Buffy series two, disc six last night. It was emotional.

I didn't have dinner last night.

The last album I bought was the new Conor Oberst solo album titled Conor Oberst.

1. I am currenty wearing safey boots, a pair of jeans, a chequered lumberjack type shirt and a reflective jacket. And a hard hat. It is yellow. If my shirt was red I might look a little like Bob the Builder. Safety gear due to a visit to Jwaneng Diamond Mine. This would be the first post in TMO history to come from Jwaneng Mine I think. A historic day for everyone!

2. This weekend I am drinking.

3. Watched the new X-Files movie last night. I didnt finish it though and I was a bit dissapointed at the lack of aliens. Its the X-Files ffs!

3. Dinner was stew. It was rubbish. Mostly because I am a terrible cook.

4. Last album I bought was years ago. But a mate bought me CD by a South African outfit called Goldfish and it is played often.

hey I just remembered my dream! I was trying to visit a hooker, but every time I went to her house, there was some Chinese dude waiting outside her door for his turn. So I pooled my money with a friend for 30 minutes worth so we could get 15 minutes each, but after his 15 minutes he came out and I chatted to him for a bit, and then realised I was on the clock, and by the time I got there, the fucking Chinese bloke was just going in. I gave up at that point.

Then we down a really steep hill in a coach, and I was scared.

I fly out to La Rochelle tomorrow for a week of looking around the french equivalent of Minehead.

I last watched Ridicule and parts of Dogville because I was really tired.

No dinner last night, couldn't stomach eating after doing 50 pull ups, stomach crunches, 150 press ups and a kilometer sprint. Bleurgh.

Last album I dowloaded officiallt for FREE was Nine Inch Nails - The Slip - all in studio quality wavs. Tasty.

I have spent much too much time playing Puzzle Quest recently. I downloaded it for a friend but then Kate has been spending so much time playing Viva Pinata recently that I've not been able to get on the Xbox so I started playing it and although I don't think it's very good, I can't stop playing it. Stupid game.

I think I will go to an open mic night next Thursday. I'm undecided on whether I will perform as yet as although I'm happy enough with my guitar skills, I'm not entirely happy with singing to a crowd.

Howdy y'all.

1. 20 Hole Cherry red Docs, Black Levis, West Ham Polo shirt, 3 day stubble (dress down day friday)

2. Drinking tonight with TMO's very own Darryn. Tomorrow is split between going to Rotterdam to photograph the Backyard Babies or going to the pub to talk football

3. Not seen anything lately - last film I really enjoyed was Kenny about an aussie portaloo technician. Last thing I watched I really enjoyed was the England Croatia game - get in!

4. For Luncheon I had smoked meat with Wasabi and lettuce and it was yum.

5. I am currently listening to the Eureka Machines new album which I am starting to like a lot, even with its slightly poppy leanings for my rock palate. Worth a listen people

Hard to say with one's own sister. Last time I saw her was at my wedding. She was looking pretty good there.

I picture ralfwiphe as an incredibly attractive but frail, skinny brunette. Like the woman in the wooly hat, with the coughing children who begs Mrs Deagle for a break in Gremlins. So ralfwiphe is probably more attractive, in my head.

1. some jeans and a red 'ecko unlimited' hoodie, unzipped, with nothing on underneath. One for the ladies there.

2. I haven't thought about lunch, but I'll probably take a walk to the deli and get a sandwich. There isn't much in the house at the moment.

3. My weekend plans are to go the gym again tonight, then go round a friend's house on saturday for a night of rock band, vodka, and energy drinks. On sunday, hang out in a bar with a former tmoer and maybe even go fucking BOWLING with them. Fucking BOWLING.

4.Last film I watched was probably Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout, which I've already mentioned. I don't think I've watched any films this week. Whenever I turn on the TV, I end up watching Star Trek:TNG on virgin on demand.

5. Last albums I got was an earlier Flying Lotus album, called 1983 and I also got a compilation of Eric B and Rakim. My top play at the moment however is still the new Pacewon & Mr. Green album. It's rad. Check this and this for proof.

4.Last film I watched was Persepolis. I turned it off after 20 minutes, because it was shit.

5. Last album I got was a Buddy Guy album. Can't remember the title. It was an old one. Got Pretty Baby on it. Corking track.

black top, grey trousers, black wedge high heel suede boots, new rimless glasses.

haircut, shopping in new posh Bristol mall, (we've got Harvey Nicks! but since I buy most of my clothes in Matalan, that's mainly a matter of indifference. the Apple store is nice though), drinks/food, minor lie-in, hopefully roadtrip in the droptop to look at the pretty pretty autumn leaves at Westonbirt Arboretum, pub lunch, clearing front of house ready for building work next week.

last movie was "the nines" which was a dvd from blockbuster. bit odd, bit matrixy, mostly tosh but pretty pretty mr scarlet johansson to drool over.

last cd bought was "101 driving tunes", an impulse supermarket buy :shame: it does have golden earring's radar love on it, always a bonus. I do have a napster subscription though so I tend to download stuff to see if I like it these days, and my cd purchases have gone way down.

1. Black and green wrap dress, fishnets, kneee high boots, draped in shawl-scarf due to frigidity of office.

2. Something from Eat, as it is near and I can't bear the encroaching signs of Christmas hovering around Manchester. It's as if there's clutches, hordes, tonnes of Christmas related tat just sat out there, waiting, waiting for November to come so that it can explode into the world on a sticky, tacky tide of silver and green and gold, contaminating everything. There's so much of it, though, that some of it is leaking out, like it cannot quite be contained. A reindeer here. A pineconed wreath there. A solitary tree in the window of Next. It's awful. It's like the apocalypse. Or Peak Oil.

3. Nothing too exciting. Reading, sleeping, being married again after a week off. Buying paint for ill-advised adventures in decorating next week.

4. Watched most of Dog Soldiers last night. Sleepily.

5. I nicked some Elbow off tinternet for a mate, and have been listening to that. Nice enough stuff.

1. Big woolly jumper of the sort that was fashionable over a decade ago, when grunge was happening. Brown combats. Black, tatty army boots. Basically I look like I've fallen off a 1994 that was flying overhead.

2. Homemade ham and tomato sandwiches.

3. Nothing planned; may go and see Burn After Reading. If the weather's good, perhaps a cycle ride.

4. Watched Layer Cake last Sunday. Better than I thought it would be, which isn't saying much. Found it hard to believe the main character would give a flying shit about Sienna MIller, let alone get killed over her (spoiler).

5. Last album was 'Boston' by Boston which I bought at a record fair. It's fucking great! Had only heard 'More Than A Feeling' before that. I got The Clash's first album at the same place, but I bought that about 20 minutes beforehand. So Boston wins.

The usual work ensemble of black polo shirt, dark blue jeans and trainers. The trainers I'm wearing today are my ancient Nike Airs because i managed to leave my good trainer's at a friend's house after helping him dig his garden. These have an enormous hole in the bottom so if it rains my foot will get soaked. I've also got my work pass on a lanyard around my neck, otherwise I'm not accessorising today. I've also done my usual winter thing of cropping my hair really short so I can wear a hat on the way to work without having to worry about my hair.

Ham and relish sandwich made with seeded granary bread. Apple. Coffee.

Driving out to the arse end of nowhere tonight to see a friend who insists on living outside of normal society. Tomorrow I'll be going to the costume shop to choose what I'm going to rent for an upcoming costume party (suggestions appreciated), and there's going to be some snooker and F1 watching in there somewhere as well. Hopefully this weekend will involve no elements of either working on gardens or fixing cars.

Watched Equallibrium (or however it's spelled) the other day. I'm not sure if I really like that film or not. Basically a cross between the matrix and nineteen eighty-four. Christian Bale isn't really very good in it, but you get the impression that's down to poor scripting and directing than his performance.

Bought the new Oasis album the other day. It's ok. Better than most of their recent stuff, but nothing really worth getting too excited about. Oasis are deeply uncool these days aren't they.

I used to love Oasis back in the nineties when music was good. Plus the new single is pretty good. It's just the album is kinda lacklustre.

Thing is, I've got this thing where I think that stuff like iTunes is ruining a lot of my enjoyment of music. When you buy stuff on iTunes, you can listen to bits of each track before you buy. I used to always do that and only buy things that sounded good. But the kind of albums you buy if you do that are the ones full of catchy, instantly accessible tracks. Which inevitably become boring or even annoying after a couple of plays. Because of iTunes I've stopped buying albums just on the strength of the band or artist that produced it, so I'm now less likely to buy a 'slow burner' of an album because it doesn't instantly suck me in.

The result being that I miss out on some really good albums I'd otherwise really enjoy. So, what I'm getting at, is that now I've got a policy that if I'm interested in an album, I just buy it. No listening to it first, I just buy it and if it's good it's good, if it's not, it's not.

Just like how buying music always used to be, and should be. So without listening first, I bought the new Oasis album and it's ok. I think I might get to like it a bit more if I listen a few more times. But if I don't then hey, no real loss, right?

I can't get over that. I was under the impression that Ringo didn't do guitar music.

Kellifer was listening to some Oasis the other day and by golly it was some frighteningly simplistic music. I was pissing about with an acoustic guitar and I reckon I had all the chord progressions figured out before the band did. Liam sounded like he was singing from a passing car.

Well, no no-ones going to die or anything and it's good you're trying to go back to the glory days of music listening, but I just think if you're going to buy the Oasis album you might as well get yourself a pair of these to dance in.
 

---

Posted by Ringo (Member # 47) on :
 
I think that's what I found weak about it. Liam used to have an excellently raw singing voice, it's probably the single biggest thing Oasis ever had going for them. He's either lost it somewhere along the lines, or the new album is just painfully overproduced.

Anyway, I never said I don't 'do' guitar music. I just don't do certain types of guitar music. And that's not really because I don't like it as such, just that I find some of it a little inaccessible.

Also, I once mentioned liking Ocean Colour Scene, and AMP blasted me for liking "grandad rock" so I decided I simply wouldn't talk about it for fear of getting music wrong.

and it seems that I've listened to the track 'Hells Bells' 14 times, but that could be because AC/DC comes near the top of the list of artists on my mp3 player, so it probably gets played if I accidentally make it play while it's in my pocket.

My Friday was like this:

I was wearing a black dress with a layered skirt. It was super girly.

I ate sausages for lunch. I was at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The sausages from the cafe in the rights centre were nasty, but I was hungover so I had two.

That night I crashed a Russian publisher's party. There was a lot of vodka and no mixers. I was very drunk by midnight. At two I was being a ballerina on the dancefloor in my layered skirt. I went to bed around five and had to get up at seven for a meeting at nine.

The last film I watched was Never Been Kissed in my hotel room on Wednesday when waiting for my colleague to get ready to go out. It was the only thing I could find in English.

The rest of the weekend will be spent on the sofa.

2. Lunch will be pasta I think. I am going to the deli in a bit. If you are about to walk down Hornsey Road, towards the seven sisters road, then you might bump into me going the other way.

3. Weekend plans are to play some saints row 2 and maybe try out a camera I'm expecting to receive in the post today. For that I will probably do the old Parkland Walk. Also I would like to check out the new Korean place near the station.

4. Last film I watched was that Japanese one I already mentioned. I may watch Zombie Flesheaters 2 tonight.

5. Last album I got was Feast or Famine by Reef the Lost Cauze. I uploaded a track from it if you want to hear it. It's very good. That's a streaming link, btw. You don't have to download it.

6. The last email I got was a notification telling me that FrugalGaming was no longer following me on twitter

no. you can register as an independent and have no party affiliation, yet vote for whomever the hell you want. in the primary election however, you have to be registered to a party to vote -- but they can do that at the time you vote. For example, in the Massachusetts primary, I could not vote because I'm registered as an Independent...but I had them change me to a Republican so I could vote for Ron Paul. Then they immediately changed me back to an Independent. Scariest five minutes of my life...Christ...I was a Republican.

But if you register as unaffiliated you can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary in Mass., as they're open. It's only the Independent Party rifraff they want to keep out.

(I'm officially unaffiliated, though I did vote for Obama in the primary.)

Posted by mart (Member # 32) on :
 
But you have to register as something (independent being the neutral choice)? You can't say "no thanks, I'd just like to register to vote, nothing more, nothing less"?

I suppose that's what independent means, though, isn't it.

And you could register as affiliated to the Republican party, but vote Democrat, if you wanted to? Just for the hell of it?
 

---

Posted by rooster (Member # 738) on :
 
voting in primaries is the big reason for registering one or the other, and it varies state to state. There is a list here in this wiki entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_election

If you are registered one party and still prefer the other party's candidate, then you vote for the person you prefer in the General Election. Hopefully no one is just switching their votes for the heck of it, but that would explain W.

I'm off work today, so it feels like an extra Friday.

1. Black Dickies workshirt, Goon 'Norton's Pub' t-shirt, black jeans, black shell-toes.

2. Might go down the caff for a fry-up

3. Played The Suffering, went to a couple of restaurants.

4. Wanted - Really liked it. Surprisingly. Set pieces shot with real brio. Seemed to have a real understanding of the formal elements of comic books, even more so than the original, bizarrely. The bit where he clocks the dude in the chops with a keyboard and the explosion of teeth and keys spells 'FUCK YOU' was pure comic book goodness.

5. Listening to the new AC/DC album that someone gave me yesterday. It's the best one they've done in years, almost as good as BiB. Still not a patch on the top-end Bon-era stuff, though.

So, did everyone have a productive and wonderful weekend?

I did some tidying, watched some football, watched the grandprix etc. All not very productive as the tidying got undone quite quickly.

However, I did post a comment on reddit that has 450points. I think that compared to my highest scoring post on TMO (3 points), that is some damn impressive work.

I suspect you are all jealous of my commenting skills.

Friday was good - spent the night in a hotel in the Cotswolds for free, because of some last minute offer thing.

Saturday I spent - er - watching Sopranos and painting Games Workshop miniatures. Painting these fuckers is probably the geekiest hobby I've had yet (I've even been into the shop wearing an anorak), but what draws me back to it is just how incredibly soothing it is. If Benway needs a further stick to beat me with, he can imagine me in my anaorak, listening to Boston, painting Khorne Berserkers, and intermittently munching on a sandwich made by my wife. A perfect storm of geekery.

On Sunday my folks came down. My mum commented that I looked like I was going bald. This was the last thing she said before she left the house.

Friday started at 3.20 in the pub and got hazy after that, but the pub I freuqent has a wonderful mix of expats as well as Jordaaners, so hilarity often ensues. Apparently I was singing at one point but this I cannot recall.

Saturday I found a message that I had a parcel from my ISP so I ran to the post office in hope it was my free EEE 900 netbook - but it wasn't - it was just the wireless modem, and I still have to wait for the connection to be made. I spent the rest of Saturday watching movies (W., Old Boy and Hotel Rwanda) and lots of episodes of jPod.

Sunday - roast, pub, Grand Prix - elation! What a bloody race - best I have ever seen.

Friday night, Louise went off having fun with her friends, so I had some drink and watched Snoop Dogg's House of Horrors on Virgin on Demand, followed by the Exorcist. Had a proper voice conversation with ex-tmoer 'scrawny'.I also got a google phone on Friday, so I played with that all night. Felt lonely, depressed.

Saturday, did a load of cleaning then went into town with Louise to meet a friend. We walked around Mayfair in the pissing rain, trying to find this Korean restaurant. It was shut. Wandered some more trying to find somewhere good, but ended up have a fairly awful pub meal in a fairly awful pub. Then watched a film at the ICA called "Bloody Aria" - a Korean film (do you see the connection). It didn't make much sense to me, plus I had a blinding headache by this point. Nobody really enjoyed the film. Then some more pints after the film, and the day ended okay, apart from some explosive aggression taking place on the tube.

Yesterday, still got the headache. Got up late. Walked to the Holloway road with Louise, bought a casserole dish and a tin for baking muffins. Then went home and had some drink and played Saint's Row until bed time. Had weird dreams about floods. Woke up late because alarm clock was turned off.

(shoes pending because I haven't left the house yet)

2. Lunch will be a massive chicken schnitzel sandwich thing from a place up the road. It's a shame you aren't in finsbury park, because then you could have one too. Oh and I have a craving for porridge. Maybe around 3.30 - 4.00, I'll have some of that.


3. Weekend plans are like, play fable 2 and go to the gym on saturday and then going out with some pals to probably eat at a restaurant and then get all angry and abusive in a pub. I imagine we'll sit there talking about weddings all night. Sunday will be sitting on the sofa, watching the rain, wishing I hadn't said all those stupid things, and drinking coca cola.

4. Last film I watched was Tropic Thunder, and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Perhaps being on a plane had a lot to do with that. And being wasted on that plane. But still. I may watch 'Slugs' tonight because I still haven't seen it and I've had it recorded for ages.

5. Last album I got was the best of Creedance Clearwater Revival :shame:

6. The last email I got was the Holy Moly mailout. Yes, I know. I know. I don't read it. I just haven't unsubscribed. Almost all emails I get these days are notifications.

1. Olive combats, black t-shirt with white pattern. Boots. They don't go with the trousers but meh.

2. Lunch - Going to the St James Tavern for a Guinness. Maybe some Thai food, but possibly will go to Forfars after and get a prawn cocktail sandwich and a chicken and mushroom pasty.

3. Tonight, Going out for an Indian in Haywards Heath with work people. Should be good fun I think. Saturday - No idea for most of the day. Play some Guitar Hero I guess as I just downloade the new Metallica album for it which is a lot of fun. Saturday afternoon going to go and find a pub that is showing Bournemouth Vs Blyth Spartans in the Fa Cup. Sunday - Been invited out to lunch with one of Kate's friends for her birthday. Not sure if I'm going.

4. Watched Kickboxer the other night as it was on and I was channel surfing. It's a lot worse than I remember it being, but in fairness, I was about 14 when I last saw it so I was just excited to be watching an 18 rated film.

5. Last album - Death Magnetic by Metallica. Excellent stuff. Really liking it. A return to form.

6. Last e-mail (to my personal account) was from some family members as there is a big debate about how much should be spent on family for christmas and people are trying to sort that out. I don't really care.

1. Wildhearts "Listee in Wonderland" Tee with standard black Levi's.

2. Lunch Still not decided - could be a raid at the supermarket for somethin, could be a Kebab (the ones here are far more suitable for daytime sober consumption) - or I may find somewhere in town and munch

3. Weekend plans mainly seem to revolve around LBP and perhaps some poker tomorrow night, seeing that I failed to go to my mates - tomorrow is a big tourney in my local so should be a giggle

4. Last Film I watched... there have been quite a few of late due to lack of satellite but finding alluc.org - seen so many, a lot of them crap that I have mostly forgotten the titles or plots. I did see Death Proof though which was good.

5. Last Album was AC/DC's newie - not bad. And JBN - no shame in CCR !

6. The last email was the 4th one or so from my first ever girlfriend from when I was 10 - she found me on facebook a have been mailing eachother a few times a day since - all innocent enough, but she makes me smile - we're planning to have dinner when I go back to the UK next week or so - should be fun to catch up on 30 years or so.

I don't intend to eat very much of it. It's for the Masketeers, really. They wanted to buy the Firebox package of American candy. I thought it was overpriced, so I looked on the web for an alternative. I got a bit carried away. I'm not keen on American candy, on the whole. I quite like Lifesavers, and I've been known to eat a Hershey kiss. But, i work around the corner from a Maison du Chocolat and...

Saturday's drifting was awesome, in case anyone care's. The Spazda didn't even blow up a little bit, and I didn't get beaten up by anyone. The best bit was coming terrifyingly close to smashing my car up by sliding backwards into another car, but narrowly missed much to the amusement of everyone involved.

Look here, there are pictures and everything. Pretty sick, huh?

Ringo - why has your car got a great big G code in front of it ?

Very wanky way of image protection that feller uses - most of the image is obscured, and the navigation is pathetic. Your driving skillz look good though chap.

Posted by Ringo (Member # 47) on :
 
Yeah it's pretty lame. i think it's because he sells prints. He's the official photographer for Santa Pod and does all their drag photos. Even a watermark would be preferable.

As I was going past him I was trying to get it as sideways as possible so I could be totally square-on when I went past. A few times I took my hands off the wheel and waved mid-drift but it doesn't look like he caught any of those, unfortunately.

There are a few other galleries from the day, without any stupid banners, but annoyingly nobody but the official 'tog got any pictures of me.

No but seriously most venues make you wear a helmet, but for some reason Santa Pod don't. They have a disclaimer that basically says that if you smash your brain box it's totally your own fault and not down to them.

It's not very good or amazingly different, so don't worry about it.

Wayne, they run these events twice a month at Santa Pod, one on a Wednesday, one on a Saturday, so I'm sure if you're in the UK at some point next year you'd be able to come along to one if you wanted. It's only £5 to spectate.

I'm going to do my best to be at as many as possible as there's a chance I'm going to be involved in a team drift demonstration at the MX5 anniversary event next year.

Most of the discomfort stems from the fact that the surface at Santa Pod where I do my drifting is a combination of rough old carpark areas and fresh tarmac, with massive bumps between the joins, and the odd recessed drain cover. Plus I have absolutely rock hard suspension so riding the bumps is quite a violent experience.

But yeah, totally exciting and occasionally hilarious.

I'm going again next Wednesday actually. Doing loads of drifting was one of my resolutions for 2008 and I think I've done it brilliantly. Next year I'm going to make it my goal to gain a drift competition licence

Edited because I remembered what year it is..

you need a license to compete, really? How do they go about testing for that?
 

---

Posted by Ringo (Member # 47) on :
 
Yeah it's all a bit messy to be honest because there are so many drift series about, but here in the UK there are two main series which is the BDC and the EDC (British Driting Championship and European respectively) with the BDC being seen as the lower level event. The real difference between the two is that BDC has amateur classes as well as pro. Basically Am regs don't require as much safety kit for the car, but it prevents you from being able to place at the higher levels because you aren't able to compete in all rounds.

To compete at all you need a BDC licence which stats at Am level - really this is fairly basic - turn up to the licence event and go out onto the course, put in a few solid runs to show that you can make it round the track in a controlled fashion without spinning all the time, that's basically all you need to do. For the full BDC licence you are required to hit specific clipping points through the corners and achieve a certain minimum standard over a judged run. For licencing you can use any car, it doesn't need to meet the safety standards for either the Am or Pro classes.

Not that my car really needs a lot of work to get it to basic Am standards. Just a few electrical cutoff switches, a hard top, and bonnet catches is all I'd need as I already have a rollcage, bucket seats, harnesses etc.

1. Jeans, white t-shirt with Antelope Boy on the front.

2. Lunch- chicken schnitzel I imagine, if I can be fucked to leave the house.

3. Tonight - gym, then going to the theatre bar in town for some drinks. Should be okay, but I need to take it easy. Tomorrow going to see Louise's folks in the morning, then in the evening I'll be drinking again, this time with some ex-forumites. Sunday I have to write something for somebody, and I'd like to get some GoW2 in.

4. Watched feardotcom last night. Shit.

5. Last album was a Todd Barry comedy album. I liked it. Been listening to quite a bit of American comedy recently... Patton Oswalt, Todd Barry, Zach Galifianakis, Jimmy Pardo.

6. Last e-mail (to my personal account) was my agency reminding me to get my timesheet in on time. Bleak. Last work email was a developer thanking me for sending him some analysis of a java console log. Also bleak.

I am wearing a jumper with holes in the sleeve. Tramp chic. It is ok though because they got there through many years of wear rather than as a pre-engineered look like the battered old boots from All Saints.

This weekend I have absurdly too much stuff to do, which can be summarised thus . . .30th birthday (not mine), help someone move house, xmas lunch with housemates (vegan), ‘amusing’ xmas knitwear and cocktail party, work on grant proposal, cross country running, ‘ironic’ xmas dinner in local JD Wetherspoons with 50 friends.

How festive.

And Dan gets a tight back when he drives for more than three or four hours? So you often have to break up long journeys by stretching your legs? And Jenny told you about Gnome World over the meal at the wedding, and it sounded brilliant? And you had to get a stranger to take this photo, and she's now a family friend? But she's recently lost her job at an educational quango, and is starting to hint that she's going to hit you up for somewhere to crash while she visits agencies near you? And you're worried than she might bone Dan, because he's been a bit distant recently?

I think the babacombe one might be a bit smaller scale than that. That looks really good, maybe that's the model village I'll visit in '09?

Or perhaps I could spend a week just travelling about the place, looking at model villages (villi?) possibly taking pictures and giving each one a review and a score out of ten. On a website created specially for that purpose.

If you're going to visit Wimborne, try and time it so you're down for the folk festival. Your chances of fucking a fifteen year old off her face on cider will never be higher.

I reckon there should be a Sunday night TV show where every morning Ringo gets up ('Can you do us a Thermos, mum?') and takes his Mazda down the motorway and visits a model village. He could wander round pointing out things of interest and then at the end he does a sweet donut in the car park and heads home.

Yeah, you'd think that wouldn't you. Sadly though, it is me that actually triggered this entire crisis. We'd been planning for several years to sell our house in 2008, you see - eldest child leaving home, second eldest moving to secondary school, chance to relocate and downsize and perhaps some other modern-sounding verb. Remortgage, that's the one.

Anyway, I was actually looking up the estate agent's phone number one day and Robert Peston saw me and immediately announced the collapse of the world's entire economy on the BBC News.

Now I've got the directors of several major European banks staring through my window waiting for me to send that invoice off. That's when they press the button. It's just the way it is.

Tucktonia, Chirstchurch, Dorset had a pretty fucking good model village.

No, that isn't the real Towerbridge, it's actually a model..


Is that Concrode about to take off at Tucktonia airport? I thought Concorde had been grounded, that can't be safe, surely?

Don't worry folks, it's actually just a model. In fact, a model that doesn't even exist anymore, as Tucktonia shut down in 1985, missing the advent of acid house by just 3 years.

Clothing - Black boots. White socks because I couldn't find any dark ones this morning. They are somewhere, just not coming easily to hand and my feet were really cold so the white ones had to go on. "My other ride is your mom" t-shirt. Stripy jumper.

Lunch - Baguette cut in half with tuna, prawns, sundried tomato, mayonnaise and worcester sauce on topped with cheese and grilled.

Tonight - Possibly pub. I was giving up alcohol for January, but I'm a bit bored of it now and people are going. If not then a bit of Fallout perhaps.

Film - Watched "Shoot em up" recently. That was quite entertaining. Truly awful of course, but not boring.

Last e-mail to my personal account was from my sister informing me her e-mail address had changed. Truly exciting stuff.

Feeling - Slightly confused. There is a copy of "Baby and Pregnancy" magazine on our coffee table. Kate has left it right in the middle of the table on top of everything else. I suspect this is a "subtle" hint at something, but I'm not sure what.

Lunching: Unless we go grocery shopping tonight it will be a Peanut butter and Nutella sandwich.
Drinks? Not unless I want a drunk baby.
Weekend plans? I guess I will be visiting froop's sister and watching children so he can do home repairs.
My (other) plans were to rewrite an essay, handle some business matters, obsessively check email and wait by the phone for news from out of state and top it off w/the awesome Sunday night TV schedule.

yes, that's true. I just wouldn't go, or if I did go, I'd just hang around near the drinks, trying to turn every conversation to one where I got to say that there was no God and everybody who thinks there is isn't just an idiot, but is actually harming the future of mankind. This would also insinuate that my own badly researched godlessness anointed me - ironically - with an almost christ-like destiny of spreading valuable truths about the universe to my god-blind brothers and sisters. Then I would have maybe 10 minutes of aggressive attention seeking dancing, followed by tears, an argument, and sleeping on a the floor of a hotel room wearing nothing but my wine-stained shirt.

wearing

Just jeans, man. Just a pair of jeans.

lunch

Not decided, but I want to avoid bread. I can't be arsed to bake a potato. Rice and soy sauce? Nothing? I'll report back.

weekend

No plans! Well. Nothing is expected of me. I don't have to be anywhere to liven up any social events. My second job as party catalyst is victim of the credit crunch. I'm planning on going to the gym, tidying this shit hole up a bit, cooking, the usual crap. Cinema maybe. Murakami exhibition? Don't know. I fancy a wander into town maybe. Or take some pictures on the Parkland Walk. The world is my oyster.

film

Watched Hamlet 2 and a film called 'Murder Set Pieces'. Neither lived up to expectations, although expecting something from a Steve Coogan film is probably a folly. Murder Set Pieces was kind of funny in places, boring in most. Good bit where a dude stabs an eight year old girl to death. It was pointless, but at least somebody is still getting their films banned in the UK.

album

Well as you know, since I spotify, I'm not buying that many albums. I got the N.A.S.A super-collab project thing that I listened to once. This week I've mostly listened to William Shatner talking about Star Trek via his audiobooks, The Knife, and a DJ Muggs album. Right now I'm listening to 'Play' by Moby. When this came out originally, I was all hopped up on heart pills, anti depressants, weed, sleeping pills, and ecstasy. Spent a couple of years like that, and this album was the unwitting soundtrack, because it was everywhere. Listening to it now, it brings back that content, zoned out tricyclic feeling. Like you're floating above every ill in the world, and the sun shines specifically for you. Brilliant. Even though I'll be the first too admit, it's in no way a good album. But it sounds like those years felt. Unjustifiably positive, completely hollow, yet harbouring a festering horror somewhere in the centre. 1999 - 2000 were good years. For me, anyway. Apart from, you know. The mental illness.

wearing
Slim fit jeans in a dark blue, black t-shirt, black socks, one with a hole in the heel, a warm zip up wollen jacket type thing that I generally wear only when I want to be warm and rarely outside the house.


weekend

Tonight a local race night at the pub, presumably this involves betting money on films of horse races and not frank and borderline racist discussions of immigrants. Note to self: after eight years seem to be integrating with "community"


lunch

Could be a ham sandwich, if it is there will be pickle, pickle with chunks.


music

Turned it off, turned it all off, there's just the gentle hum of my imac and distant sounds of the binmen banging plastic bins in some faraway street.


visuals
Haven't really watched much this week, saw the Horne and Corden show as mentioned in another thread. Apart from that I've been looking at Halo 3 multiplayer, skate 2 multiplayer and this morning back to Fallout 3. Also been planning to paint the bedroom white, and go for a white/black/red theme so have been searching ebay, ikea, habitat, littlewood, homebase, argos type websites along with flickr for inspiration. Also been thinking about the garden, in particular what I'm going to do with the small decking area which was constructed last year, again wasting huge amounts of time researching plants, garden furniture options etc online.


email

One just in - a guy thanking me for some work I did, rare.

week

Ok, got a bit of a cold type thing which hasn't really manifested itself properly, just made me feel a bit lethargic, slight sore throat, a bit of a headache, got through some work, also managed to woodstain a fence in the sun which was a relaxing diversion from real work. Cut down on the wanking and doing random weight lifting instead, also skipping whilst waiting for the kettle to boil. There may be some slight change in my physical appearance, particularly my arms but you only really notice when I'm actually lifting weights, so not much point really.

Also obsessing about receeding hairline which came as a bit of a surprise as no one in my family has it (except now I come to think about it my mum's dad) still I assumed I was going to go through life with all my hair but now it seems not. Having to make a bit of a mental adjustment here. Started counting hairs that appear on the towel after shower and whilst washing hair checking hands to see how many have fallen out. It's kind of a weird thing. It's not really noticeable at this stage, but I wonder how long it will be before I have to go for the short short haircut. Thinking about a style change here too, different clothes, maybe some glasses, taut muscular body. Holy shit.

It's like calling a Kiwi and Australian. Except it rarely happens.

It looks like we're going to have the warmest weekend of the year so far, and I've got a stinking cold type thing. Planning to spend the weekend in bed, getting up only to pee, drink black coffee and stand on the outside stairs in a dressing gown, smoking roll-ups made with menthol filters and liquorice rice the.

you shouldn't smoke if you've got a cold. It'll lower your immune system, making the symptoms last longer. Hope that helps.

You shouldn't really smoke ever. It's generally considered to be bad for you.

It's different if you use a menthol filter.

They're medicinal, you idiot!

sound advice. The less you smoke, the less chance you've got from dying from a smoking related illness. This means that if you smoke a lot, then you've got more chance of dying from a smoking related illness, such as cockrot, eye-shrink, and bum spasms.

Now you've given up fags Misc, I suggest you consider giving up your lard only diet. It is no wonder you have problems walking and have to wear pregnancy clothes.

my grandfather on my dad's side got eye shrink from being a life long smoker. He ended his life sitting inches from a tv in tiny orange smoke-filled room, his shrunken eyes, (long since departed from their sockets) resting on a small iron tray that was slung around his neck.

when I think of men wearing dressing gowns, I think of Gary Strang from Men Behaving Badly.

The problem with giving up smoking though is that it is impossible to be cool if you don't smoke.

So, you won't die a slow genital rotting death, but you also won't be cool.

I don't really think of men in dressing gowns very often though. Hardly ever, in fact.

I could put on my dressing gown and you could think of me wearing that.

It was CiH's recent dressing gown posts that have inspired me to wear one this weekend. I don't think I want show my penis off to the neighbours though.

You need to get the fuck over yourself, Deep Freeze.

I'm ill. Dressing gown is standard garment of ill. It's not like I'm wearing pearls with it.

Hey zeus!

Horrifying. Looks like it's what someone has protruding from their sleeve instead of a hand.

wearing
grey t-shirt, element jeans, also I have a black sock which has been doused in Karvol tucked into my collar like some sort of crap tie.

watching
The Apprentice on iplayer. Lost on sky+

playing
Fallout 3 (completed main quest, sporadically dipping in to side quests), Skate 2 (completed, just have online achievements to complete), Halo 3 (going back to my roots).

eating
had porridge for breakfast and just went for a Kipling apple pie, might have a soup for lunch, it's too early to make a decision.

listening
MGMT, love some of their stuff and don't really like some of their other stuff.

life
work, as busy as I have ever been for 2009, yet feel strangely weary of work and not able to concentrate or get excited about it. Had a few arguments at home recently, feeling a bit mentally worn out, plus I have a cold, plus I hate the weather and just want it to be warm.

overall score
6/10

Wear T-shirt from left handed toons that Froopyscot sent me. Blue jeans. Black boots. Need new laces for the boots as one of them snapped the other day so I haven't been able to tie it right the top bits so it's a little loose.

Watch Not really watched anything this week. I checked out some of Stewart Lee's standup on youtube. Quite an entertaining bit where he is doing a gig in Glasgow and slating William Wallace.

Play Old school - I'm playing Deus Ex for the first time ever. I'm right near the end though which is disappointing as I have absolutely loved it, however when I've finished that I shall get the nameless mod that has just been released with a whole new storyline and weapons and voice acting etc.

Eat Had a sausage, hash brown and fried egg bap from canteen across the road for breakfast. Lunch is a guinness and a thai curry from St James Tavern, dinner will be toad in the hole but I am going to wrap the sausages in bacon and put in bits of chopped up black pudding. I'm trying to work out ways to get more pig in there, but other than putting a pork chop crust on the top I'm struggling and I'm not sure the crust would really work out all that well.

Listen Downloaded some quite cool stuff that is just two guys on acoustic guitars doing classical stuff but funked up a bit. Very good.

Life Meh. Got an application through yesterday for a job as a trainee accountant. That is what I want to do with my life now, but it is a job that is open to people who want a career change or people who have just finished A-levels which would suggest that if I do get that I'll take a crippling pay drop, but career wise it would make sense in the long run, but with a child on the way is it a good idea? Who knows.

Got shouted at this morning for asking my girlfriend if she wanted a cup of tea before going to work.

overall 6/10 also

Eating: Beef baguette and corn chips. The baguette has been cooked too long and is cutting up the top of my mouth.

Watching: Repeats mostly. Season 12 of Top Gear and a bunch of Family Guy.

Weekend: People coming round to my place tomorrow. Hope it all goes okay. I don't really have enough glasses, cutlery or plates but fuck 'em, the whole point is to get drunk anyway.

Listening: Podcast mashups from Chicago DJs mostly. And Bob Dylan. And the Beastie Boys.

Life: Still haven't been paid which is going to make life interesting over the weekend. No real complaints. 7/10
