Oh only about 7000, I'm enjoying it greatly, lots of androgynous FCUK branding floating about and bipolar fashion systems! Am currently witing about photography and 1930's gender distinction to 1990's heroin chic... why isn't all work like this?

yeah, I'm awake. And at work. I've just done my required hour of Throbbing Gristle and am chilling out with some Tom Waits as I contemplate the total lack of interesting news tonight.

know this isn't that late, strictly speaking, here on GMTime, but I had no sleep last night so have that pleasant
'spacedoutlateatnightfeeling'... so does anyone want to humour me?

Actually, this has its advantages, I get to feel like I've stayed up late and be in bed by half ten

This is my thousandth post. I couldn't think of anything else clever, so I decided to make it pathetic instead, and put it here, where it will hopefully be unobtrusive. Carry on.

Fuck. That one was apparently 1001. I can't count. Hell.

Not too late here, err...10:00pm

Rearranging furniture now. Just pryed my hermit girlfriend out of her home so we could get drunk on some gorgeous red wine at my place.


Mmmmmm...

Weehee. Paleface in the motherfucking house.

Ahem. I'm OK. Have just returned from chip shop after DJing monumentally well at college bop-thing. Sorry, have to use the godawful terminology. Went really well - tag-teamed it with a friend over two hours and managed to keep the punters... rather entertained. And I got to play Take My Breath Away. Brilliant.

Am now tired. Want sleep. And don't need music for a few hours. My ears are all chooned out.

I keep checking my posts. I can't help it. At least now I have another 70 or so until I move from #59 to #58. The best part is that say 90% of them have been since last March. It's probably morning now in GMT. I always miss the late shift!

Goed, dank je, en met jou?

I am happy to inform you that

*gloomily*

I was sick over the weekend and stayed in bed all day Saturday. Which was revolutionary of me, and smart because I made the quickest recovery ever... but the devil always get paid, and now I have some weird cold sore on my nose. Fucking flesh-eating bacteria on my nose, and I feel so fine I can't stay home and hide my head under the covers. I shall have to get a gold nose like Tycho Brahe...

Oh gah. pats and hugs and other expressions of sympathy. that sounds horrid m'dear.

Kat and I will save up for a Bunter for you. Even illness is Better With Bunter.

I am a little tired, and a little more drunk, and a little more stoned. And have just completely welched on some stuff I should have done to go out drinking.

So am a little guilty/stressed but actually quite happy.

I empathise, oh metal nosed one. I have the mother and father of a cold and could cheerfully remove my own nose with a kitchen knife at the moment, sore and flowing like the Ganges as it is. Sorry, that was too much information.

I hate being sick. And whenever I am, like most men I think nobody has ever been this sick before and the world just doesn't understand how sick I am. So I shall stop whining and adapt. And surrender the machine to Nurse Ganesh whom I have awakened with my constant sneezing and sniffling.

Think I may take an unheard of sick day tomorrow and spend it reading all the Hogwarts slash which the lovely Bengali has put my way.

*rings his bell* Unclean! Unclean!

Hey, I'm ill, as well, (see blog) and am just as cheery about it, and have no live-in nurse.

And was doing ok, untill I managed to walk home at about 1am only to realise that I had no house keys, thus had to walk to a friends house for shelter. and now feel like absolute shit.

But the pub and smokes helped. Oh yes.

Well, I'm here. I'm listening to the new Bonny "Prince" Billy album a lot, particularly the last track, and I'm feeling OK. Might have a line into a place in The Forum, which is this big restaurants/units/shops development in Leichhardt, Sydney's "Little Italy", I spose, which is modelled, supposedly, on the Mediterranean Rear Windowesque jumble of houses. So hopefully, I'll be moving in a fortnight - thank fuck!

Good news! I would have done a Lizzie Borden before now if I'd been exposed to my parental units for any length of time. You are a man of great resilience. Not to mention the legs again....

Will there be deli's with hams and salamis hanging from the ceiling and crusty panini? Will there be cafés to sit around in, wearing a fez and pretending to be Marcello Mastroianni, nibbling on some dolcelatte and drinking granita di limone? La dolce vita australiana.

We have a Portuguese place near us but they always look very suspiciously at me and my concubine whenever we go there (like the Slaughtered Lamb scene from American Werewolf). They must have poofs in Portugal after all.

Legs eleven, baby! I'm close to axing them, even moreso after my recent trip away - it threw into stark relief the ability to just relax and do stuff when not constantly harried.

Pictures of place - keep fingers crossed:




Kinda nice, eh? I hope it's not a small box that I'm going to be looking at...

There are indeed lots of delis around (and a Versace store that seems to exist only to show exactly what exquisite evil fashion can visit upon poor mannequins), a stack of restaurants, an arthouse cinema complex and a couple of nice second-hand bookshops. Could well be the place for Chez Smooth to be put into work. Fez-wearing and coffee-drinking over the mornin' paper could be a Good Thing. Wow. There's also meant to be an Italian cultural centre going in, with a library attached, so I might be able to work on the language from home, which'd be rock, too.

And Loomis, it's a bit away from the place-above-a-pub-and-next-door-to-a-brothel that our other friends once lived in... but only a bit. Heh.

P: I'm sure you won't need a BraheNose yet. Honest!

Xoc is sadly now deceased. The headcold and self pity nearly finished him off and then the rampant jealousy occasioned by Rothkoid's photos caused him to despair entirely and give up the ghost...

Time for bed, said Zebedee. *boing boing*
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
00:18 / 05.02.03
Aw, shucks. They prolly won't let riff-raff like me in there, so never fear - it'll be box rooms and cockroaches at twenty paces for me soon...

Night night!

Rothkoid- The Forum! Sweeeeeeeeeeet. Especially if you get that room with all the tables and the waiter. Oh ... you mean that photo wasn't of your flat?

And Berkelouw Books nearby (or however the fuck you spell it)! Ace. I can't help but feel that the Forum is altogether too classy for bounders like us however. Who knew it would turn out like this?

08:22 / 05.02.03
Well, y'know - maybe it's like one of those "one of these is the real brain surgeon: but which one?" type TV shows. Think of me as the cultural Joe Millionaire.

You'll have to visit now. Mwahahah. I may not have a table like that in my flat, bit I'll make damn sure I have some kind of creepy manservant...

Class.

Blah. About to go to bed. Bit tired, bit pissed, have had good day where amongst other things I read Crying of Lot 49. Most good indeed. Now sleepy, and appear to be putting my foot in things. Tomorrow holds... yet more work...

Yup, poor lonely wallflower Xoc has only virtual company through the wee small hours as his vagabond partner goes on the piss round London town with several people, some of whom I suspect may be untrustworthy. I just know that Bear will be up to no good!

Getting over my recent crippling and hugely exaggerated unwellness and went back to work today but left with an annoying bloody wheezy cough which stops me sleeping. Fortunately I have another of the Ursula Le Guin canon to commence when I climb into bed eventually with the drunken elephant god at some much later point.
