Oh what a glorious morning, oh what a sun shineing day. I've got that feeeeeling, something's coming up my way.
Hello, how are you? Saturday Morning Kitchen is on the telly, I like that show.

I think I'm 99.99% sure I've found the flat I want to move too, I've thought about last night's one and it's great. There are 3 more to see today, with only one of them being a realistic posibilty, and is 'round the corner to yesterday's one.

I've just looked on the local bus map, and the busses are even better than I expected, there is a bus that goes right to Clindrex's house, so I can be all like "I'm jumping on the bus to see Clendrix", and then, BOOM, I'll be outside her house. It's a short bus to the tube too, better than I expected, so if I want to take the tube somewhere, BOOM, I can.

I really have a giddly feeling, two really good flats that both will do, with budget to do them up how I want too. I want to get a jacuzzi-bath thing, if possible, hopefuly, maybe, donno. That would be a real dream, I think I can wing it into the budget because it would be benificial health wise.

Alt: So, what's this weekend got in store for you?

Sorry about banging on about it, well, no, not 'sorry', but "sorry if you're bored with it, but i'm excited and OH BOY, it's awesome, so I'm gonna bang on and on about it 'till I move"

Buying your first property is very exciting Gonz. You should be telling the world.
I am on the train to Leeds as I'm on my way to Dg and tourettes. I straightened my hair this morning because it's a special occasion but then had to walk to the train station in the drizzle :(

This is my 'big' weekend.
Going to Todd Terje in Shoreditch tonight, followed by a big house party, followed by 2020 Records' all day party tomorrow til ten, followed by Horse Meat Disco. I've spent over a hundred quid for train tickets to get back to London for the weekend, and of course I've come down with a throat infection and am currently coughing up a lung. I can't be bothered with any of the above.

morning!
I totally empathise with the excitement - I was just round town and actually looked in the window of a furniture shop and though 'that would be nice in teh lounge' FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK! Crazy times, all.

Also, I think I got flirted at by a buddist monk, earlier

People I don't recognise appear to be staring at me from just outside my office.
Then when I notice them they look away and walk off.

Should I be worried?

Yes.

Afternoon Gonz ;)
First things first: Food!
I've recovered from poisening myself (I've identified the mushrooms in question and won't be doing that again!)
Now I'm all better I've got my apetite back, thank goodness. So I've prepared a whole tandoori chicken to cook tomorrow, to make butter chicken with.
I've also prepared a fennel and potatoe bake (with cream and milk and garlic, plenty of salt and pepper) that's in the oven right now, we're having that for tea tonight along with some crusty bread and some very ripe Brie I found in the fridge this morning...
Chip butty for lunch.

does anyone else get days
when they are almost paralysed by non-specific nostalgia? You know, when even the air and time itself breathes like the past and you can't shake the feeling that time isn't linear but more like a pile of knotted string?

Or is it just me? It's seriously getting in the way of me being productive, today

You should read "Torpid smoke" by Nabokov.
Hits the nail right on the head, it does.

I am an uncultured thickoid and have never read anything by him
is it a novel, or a short story? I shall search my local library
(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 14:09, Reply)
It's a short story, can't remember how many pages but not many!
Well worth the tiny effort required!
(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 14:55, Reply)
it's not the effort so much
as trying to find it. Any idea which compilation it's in?
(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 15:02, Reply)
I'll ponder that, probably have a look on the bookcase when I get home...
But I think the collection is just called "the stories of Vladimir Nabokov".

Have you been watching too much Dr Who again?

(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 14:10, Reply)
There is no such thing as too much dr who

(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 14:11, Reply)
Well, that depends
Is it just me or has the second half of this current series been a bit shit so far?
(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 14:14, Reply)
that last one should have been scarier

And a bit more imaginative
I grow weary of these new-fangled ideas on devoting a whole episode to character development not-at-all-subtly buried in a slightly puerile story.

yeah - I thought the whole FAITH WILL DESTROY YOU!
thing a bit heavy handed, like a teenager who thinks they are deep and clever.

Not that I didn't enjoy it, mind. Dr Who would have to get pretty shit before I didn't

Well, I must admit I was nonplussed by this one.
And the one before that, in the quarantine place, I gave up on after twenty minutes or so.

I also don't hold out too much hope for tonight's one, having spotted that James Corden's in it again.

Kind of a shame, I honestly thought the first half of the series was really good. Much darker, and a fantastic heap of headfuck building up with all the OMG-they've-killed-him-Amy's-not-real-WTF-she's-their-daughter? They're really going to have to pull it out of the bag to save this half of it.
(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 14:23, Reply)
i quite liked the quarantine one, but yeah, they've not been the best,
I think there was more they could have done with it. It's like they aren't quite running at full power
(, Sat 24 Sep 2011, 14:25, Reply)
I think they're building up to an epic season finale
My money says that either the doctor who gets killed is the 'flesh' one, or the real doctor dies and teh 'flesh' one replaces him.
Either way, it had better be good.

it is notable that the sets have been
comparatively simple these last two episodes (ie stuck in a very straight forward looking place), so perhaps they've saved their budget
