Last night I shaved off my beard
and was left looking at a cherubic face much rounder than I remember and the very hinting beginnings of a double chin. Seriously, I look about 12. All my gravitas has gone.

What have you done recently that you've immediately regretted?

I cut my hair to give myself a fringe.
It's too bloody hot to have hair in my face.

started painting my hall
in 30 degree heat.

To make it worse, I decided halfway through that I should really do the ceiling as well. It's not as white as it seemed to be from the ground.

Yay for the sig
But boo for painting in this heat. There's not even a breath of wind for ventilation - you'll be keeling over with the fumes.

Man I love Tom Waits.

If I believed in an afterlife
it'd have Tom Waits as the deity. It'd be a great reward at the end of my days to know I'd be going to a better place with a dischordant piano, Mark Ribot on guitar, and the man himself singing about how fucked up it is to be dead.

I'm depriving myself of breakfast until I get the second coat finished. that'll either spur me on or have me falling off the stepladder with weakness and heatstroke.

Set up a video camera
Just in case it's the latter.

weakness and heatstroke and tiredness
and I'm blaming you for the latter.

He'd be like a singing version
of the mad preacher he plays in Domino.

I'd want him to sing the Bastards disc from Orphans I think.

There's a film where that happens, you know
I think. Wristcutters- A Love Story. Pretty interesting premise; if you kill yourself, you have to go to a special afterlife. And Tom Waits is there, helping run it.

Trying to install OS X without having my Win7 Disk handy.
Although all my work and photos are backed up, I think I've probably fucked up my computer =/

Hopefully I can fix it.

How have you managed to fuck your computer?!
So long as none of the hardware is knackered you should be fine!
( Captain V, Tue 30 Jun 2009, 9:23, Reply)

When I get my hands on a Win7 disk, it should be able to recover it.
I knew it would switch the MBR/BCD thinggy to OS X partition, but I didn't expect for OSX to fail so I can't get anything.

A recovery disk should fix that.

Hooking up with that guitarist last Thursday,
As I then met a much nicer, better kisser on Friday, which the guitarist took objection to.

A fight

( Captain V, Tue 30 Jun 2009, 9:27, Reply)

Nope,
As I buggered off with the good kisser, and all the guitarist did was shout that I was a slag (from where I couldn't see him), then didn't even have the guts to own up to it, and let me blame my very dear friend K, who I love to bits.

Therefore loosing any chance he ever may have had with me again (I can't stand cowards). Spent a lovely night with the good kisser.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Tue 30 Jun 2009, 9:31, Reply)

Sounds pretty good to me

( Captain V, Tue 30 Jun 2009, 9:31, Reply)

It was ace.
Except for the slag bit. But that was only a minor blotch on the evening.
