This weekend I...
Helped a depressed friend.
Consoled a girl who'd just split up with her boyfriend.
Got smacked by her when I stopped her attacking him.
Had to put up with a drunken crier.
Spent £40 on clothing.
Had a couple fuck in my bed without asking me permission (I would have said yes, I know it's not easy for them).
Had to hear about my best friend shagging a girl I've been after for 10 months (that's more petty rage than actual anger).
Have had to put up with a massive ulcer. (Seriously huge)
Felt very ill, flu like symptoms.
Watched my team lose pathetically.
Heard that my dog had been put down.

All in all, a wank weekend. But, I'm going on holiday on thursday, so that's improving my mood.

Shoulda got ribs.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 8:46, Reply)

Hmm
When I was younger, I used to love ribs.

Then, I got fixed braces, so I couldn't eat them for 3 years, I've never really got back into them!

To the butcher, STAT!

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 8:59, Reply)

Sorry
If I went to the butchers anytime soon, It'd be to get some good sausages!

I've had 2 huge frozen yorkshire puddings in the freezer for the last month, so I'm going to buy some good sausages, some potatoes, and just have sausage, mash and gravy inside a yorkshire. It's all good.

And that's my dinner sorted!

I went to Cumbria and had a lovely time with family.
Came home and thought about where to go this bank holiday weekend and then realised I have the car tax to pay this month so can't go anywhere : (

Jesus
how smug do you sound.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:22, Reply)

no more smug
than some of the other posts saying similar things.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:29, Reply)

But they don't have a reputation and so pointing out that they sound smug wouldn't be funny

(Bazongaloid, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:32, Reply)

that's what I thought
it's much less funny in that sort of situation though.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:32, Reply)

Sausage casserole?
To a recipe, or do you make it up as you go along?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:24, Reply)

He looks smugly at his sausages
and they just jump into the pot with some carrots and onions.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:26, Reply)

made it up
browned sausages, removed from pan
soften onions, and lots of garlic
add celery, carrots, round yellow courgette thing, mushrooms and fry for a bit
add tin of chopped tomatos and sausages back to pan, bung in a load of red wine
add beef stock, salt, pepper, half tsp of hot smoked paprika
add a load of lime juice to counteract the heat of the overdose of hot smoked paprika
simmer for about an hour or until it is the appropriate thickness. add tin of sweetcorn.

I'm making this for dinner now
do you eat it on it's own or with potatoes?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:34, Reply)

I cooked one of those part-baked baguettes
which went really nicely.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:34, Reply)

Mmmmmm

(Bazongaloid, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:35, Reply)

the lime juice thing was an after thought
because the paprika really gave it a kick, but the flavour of lime really enhanced the whole thing.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:37, Reply)

Bizarrely
Sugar 'quietens down' dishes you've accidentally over-spiced.

Sounds nice apart from the celery which I can't stand - ruiner of stews, to my mind...

This weekend I...
Played a gig.
Went to London.
Slept on my mate's floor. Twice.
Had lunch at a Wimpy.
Picked a metric fuck-ton of fruit and veg.
Played a nice chunk of Resident Evil 5 on Co-Op.
( Cawl, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:32, Reply)

how was your gig?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:33, Reply)

I enjoyed it!

( Cawl, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:33, Reply)

that's the main thing
how did the audience find it?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:34, Reply)

It was really good
and i'm not just being nice, I really enjoyed it. It was incredibly loud though, none of us could hear properly afterwards.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:35, Reply)

that's cool
I've got a couple of the tracks on my computer at home and enjoy them when they come on. listening to one last night and I thought it'd be good live.

extreme loudness can be issue. there's a fine balance to be had. obviously it needs to be loud, but there comes a point when it can honestly be called ridiculously loud, and not a lot of sound engineer type people seem to be able to identify when that is.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:36, Reply)

Yeah, the Sound Engineer didn't seem to believe in "Moderate Volume".
I was fine on the stage, the Monitors were pretty quiet.
( Cawl, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:40, Reply)

that's good
we've had times (friday before last) when the monitors were so insanely loud, and we couldn't get the bugger to turn them down. lights were bright as fuck too, and really close so we were all drowning in sweat.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:42, Reply)

Sounds pretty annoying!
It was fucking hot on that stage, and it was tiny. Low ceiling, my head was nearly touching it.
( Cawl, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:50, Reply)

yeah, places with low ceilings are a pain
the size of stage is an issue a couple of places we play, mainly because a double bass player takes up a lot of room

we played in a marquee with two open sides on friday. the sound was really good.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:52, Reply)

Yeah!
Got some good feed-back from people.
My rhythm guitarist's parents were there, and they said "It was very loud. Even louder than when we saw Neil Young."
( Cawl, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 9:35, Reply)

good stuff
the people we played to on friday night were absolutely shit-faced by the time we finished playing. it's nice to be told you are good, but drunk people slurring it at you for 10 minutes gets tiresome.

"you'rrrereere rreaalllly gooood you know"
"thanks!"
"no, youuuu'rre reeallly goood"

repeat ad nauseum

Worked an eight hour shift with a hangover
Rang my boyfriend to leave a last-chance message.

Had the phone slammed down on me.
Decided I am no longer making an effort with him
Went to another party
Got drunk again and had some more fun
Got woken up at six in the morning by the Hairspray soundtrack
Got stuck in Northwich because there were no trains

right, CHECK ME OUT
Friday:
Had confusingly pleasant dinner with child's mother.
Rare 28 day steak with homemade chimichuri washed down with Malbec
Saturday:
Babysat my daughter
Her mother came home at 7am Sunday looking fucked and was furious with me for saying I needed to attend to my cat that night - despite my offering to take daughter out for a few hours so she could get some sleep, intending to buy Sunday roast stuff, come back to hers and cook it, then go home once baby was bathed and asleep
Got screamed at for having a bath (???)
Got thrown out of ex's house
Got a series of more and more spiteful texts demanding I go back
Wrote a letter telling my daughter how much I love her in case something bad happens to me
Blubbed like a bitch
Drank myself unconscious
...all by 7pm

Pretty fucking cool, eh?

a bath?!?!?!
you thoughtless prick
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 15:06, Reply)

I know
if it's any consolation I am very, very sorry about the bath.
