Corrosive Shame

Now my backlog of photographs is under control I have a backlog of LJ entry. This is nearly as bad for my sanity, but probably better for you lot as it saves you reading it. Instead, a WIDATW

( Friday )

( Who? )

( SNFNGS )



Much flash crime was committed.

( Late Night )

( Day of Rest )

( Ave! )

I should stop now.

Oh, and I have a job interview, probably Wednesday, probably early. Good luck to at least one other person who has a (different) interview this week.

I'm not a tidy person. This isn't much of an admission to those people who actually know me IRL. On the inside I have a sense of order, and everything has a place - but in practice to find anything in my life involves some kind of Zen navigation around a series of identical plastic boxes.

So, this weekend was mostly spent feeding animals and moving stuff out of living areas into storage areas. Exciting eh!

Ok, that's not entirely true - I did get to SNFNGS which was the usual soap opera, and last night I had an evening in with company and DVDs. First up was The Pillow Book, followed by Dogma.

The former I'd not seen before, but had some ideas about and was most enjoyable, and not just because a young Ewan Macgregor spent most of the film demonstrating how beautiful people don't need clothes. Ok, so it's a bit pretentious-art-wank at times but is visually confident and engaging.

Dogma certainly has its faults, but it made me smile. It appeals to my irreverent sense of humour and despite turning an early night into a late one gets the thumbs up, again.

House-sitting, as I am at the moment for while the Vikings(boglin & lupercal) are on their Orkney Saga, is always interesting. You learn a lot about people's lives, and understand why they are so odd. I know I would be if I woke up every morning with three pairs of staring feline eyes looking at me. They are cute though. Plus, certainly in that house I never feel alone - it's having a portrait of the house owners together on at least one wall in each room...

Oh and good-gig news. 99% sure of Skinny Puppy pass tomorrow in Nottingham, and the chance of an interview with them (and kantti to do all the hard work). Very exciting.

And a final note - a lovely missive from mr_h_r_hughes:

Your LJ post continue to make me happy, this new Simon who's all ethusiastic about role-playing is wonderful!Where did you find him and do you really think, as you claimed you did, that Mailshot will put him back in his box and once more release the other more usual Simon (you know the one, the result of hideous experiment involving splicing the genes of Eyore and Oscar Wilde

Made me smile.

Ok, by next year I shall look more like Brad Pitt - but at the moment my ugly mug can be seen in some of the photos from the last weekend (courtesy of quondam) at:

I took 6 photos in total. See, I am not an addict.

I seem to be flicking through the TV and coming across Poker. After two evenings at HoG I'm down 82p, but I still can't understand why people watch it on TV unless it's railing against insomnia. No-one even wants to advertise during the shows...

I must not get too into the whole gambling thing - after all I have a history of trouble - 50c lost in Vegas, and £2 on the lottery.

I did however get my new bike today. It's very goth... see here. It has many things in its favour, like being black, being fast, very light, and being my unconditional friend.

Perhaps I should spend some time polishing my knees...

Been places, done stuff. Might say more soon.

For now, some photos from Maelstrom:




About 200 in total split over two pages (45 "favourites" on the first, then 139 more on the other).

Couple of sets of Photos just added.

Firstly Diamond Rendezvous from last Friday. The link below takes you to the Index Page. Act Five and Act Six involve nipple tassles so might be considered NWS.

The backlog is still huge - with pics in the pipeline going back months - Nightwish Tristania, Faetal, Misnomer, Zombina, The October Country, EN, British Sea Power and Moby.
