Late Shift- Postcards from a comfortable distance from the edge.

I thought the whispering thing came from this place turning in to a boys club last night, where we all pretended to go on missions and the like.

I never got confirmation on my 90s indie though, so I ran away in to the night.

23:26 / 11.02.04

He was the guy writting things down in the pyramid right at the beginning.

23:28 / 11.02.04

I inadvertently touched Keggers' cocnuts and retreated to a corener in embarrassment.

23:30 / 11.02.04

When, exactly, was the last time anybody could possibly describe Matthew Perry as thin??

Nah, Luke Perry was the dashing handsome artist right at the start of the Fifth Element, before the credits. Cameo roles are, like, *so* much more credible. Proper actors who are serious about their craft do cameo roles.

Why did you need to ask Suede? Everyone here listens to 90's indie all the time. When we're not listening to 80's indie, that is. Only saps listen to this new-fangled 21st century 'music'

23:30 / 11.02.04

A coroner? Whatever for?

23:31 / 11.02.04

Gah! What Keggers said. With more words.

23:33 / 11.02.04

What did I say? What did I say that would cause you to go "Gah!"??

Whispering good. Brendon and Brenda better. But with the volume turned down low.

Jason Priestley appeared a few years ago on the English stage. It is not recorded whether the English stage recognised him.

Ah well. I shoudl be off to bed shortly - in fact, I should have been off to bed previously, but have been sidetracked by Julie Bindel. Never has a Guardian columnist been more in need of reading the Guardian style guide...

23:34 / 11.02.04

I still like Matthew Perry! Does that make me odd? His fluctuates from show to show, it's rather good fun. We should have a game where we see which series/show of friends it is from his weight, or something...

I still maintain Ross never edged him out. Chandler never lost it. Oh no!

23:37 / 11.02.04

Oh, I do a paragraph about the relative worth of Luke Perry’s choice of cameo roles over starring parts, and while I’m typing that you just nip in with, like, an answer to the actual question, ie which part did he play. Hence my gah.

I’m gah-ing my two-fingered typing by the way, not you, sweetie.

23:39 / 11.02.04

Everybody on friends lost it. It jumped the shark the moment Ross and Rachel got together years ago

ONLY NICE THINGS

23:40 / 11.02.04

Matthew Perry can look forward to his own network series playing a wisecracking neurotic called Bandler Ching.

For ever.

Luke Perry also, of course, played rough boy Pike in the movie of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A character for whom he was already 80 years too old, having been well over 112 in Beverley Hills 90210.

"I'm late for class..."

"About 200 years too late, Dylan. But fear not. Class will never come looking for you."

23:43 / 11.02.04

I'm too tired to make sense, so I'm going to stop before I embarass myself.

Friends did jump the shark... and yet, it's so much a part of my childhood (? youthhood) that now it's just like repeats of cheers and other such shows in my mind. It's kind of a fond stay at home in bed ill and watch too many because you can't be bothered to think show. To me.

23:46 / 11.02.04

There was a point, I think between series 4 and 5, where Matthew Perry looked like somebody had pulled a ripcord, he inflated like one of those inflatable dinghy-things.

It jumped the shark the instant Monica chose Fat Chandler over Tom Selleck. Although it hadn‘t actually been funny for a long while before that, that was the point at which it became just a bunch of actors reading lines on a TV show, with no resemblance whatsoever to the actual planet Earth. I reckon.

23:50 / 11.02.04

I think what we all want to see is the new spin off series with just JOEY!

I saw a "TV analyst/heat journalist*" commenting on what all the actors prospects were after the final series and saying Matt LeBlanc would probably come off the best, because he had this new series. I laughed.

*I'm not sure which.

00:04 / 12.02.04

The idea of Joey having his own series is just scary. I think its a 'sing of the apocalypse' moment.

00:08 / 12.02.04

a 'sing of the apocalypse' moment.

That’s a good idea, KB. I’d watch it if it was a musical. There aren’t enough musical numbers in sitcoms.

A post apocalyptic ‘Joey Tribbiani is The Omega Man - The Musical!!!’ kind of thing would have me tuning in every week, without fail.

Wait.. are you taking the piss?

I've been wrapping a present and making a birthday card for my niece who's 2 today. Spray mount + glitter = worse combo than any stick things and shiny things put together. AND today at 9am, my water is turned off til 6pm, so as i cant be bothered properly scrubbing them now, nor before i go to bed, I will have alternating blue and glow-in-the-dark fingers all day.

00:10 / 12.02.04

I think I'm going to bed, but secretly I might watch a film.

However, I think this every night, and can never decide what to watch. For shame.

00:10 / 12.02.04

I once dreamt an episode of Neighbours in which nuclear doom took place halfway through, leading to the second half taking place entirely in black and white for some reason) and the characters all having mohicans and dreads and stuff, and Ramsey Street being rubble.

Perhaps the same would work with Friends.

00:22 / 12.02.04

Who? Not me, surely? I like musicals! One of my favourite films ever is Funny Face. I think barrel-chested Matt Leblanc could be a great musical star. But on telly. Cinema widescreen doesn’t flatter his proportions.

Yay you for making a card, Bop. All the very best cards are hand-made.

And goodnight Suede! Unless you’re still up, in which case tell us what your movie options are and let the ‘Lith decide for you.

That pot noodle is no longer a faint and occasional whiff, but a constant but subtle nasty smell. Not like coffee.

My main typing finger is all sticky from glue. Im discovering what typing for teenage boys feels like, and its not pleasant.

00:27 / 12.02.04

I will I will, but hurry!

I just decided "The Hudsucker proxy" myself, but lets see how this goes...

I'll run off what I can see from here; Akira, X-men 1 + 2, Spirited Away, Pirates of the Caribbean, Royal Tenenbaums, Ghost World, Mulholland Drive, Raising Arizona, Hudsucker, Amelie, 24 hour party people, Spider-Man, Rocky horror and bunch of hidden stuff lying within videos marked "a clockwork orange", "trees lounge" and "dazed and confused" for no apparent reason.

00:30 / 12.02.04

Oh, Dazed and Confused, dude! Gotta be.

00:31 / 12.02.04

My main typing finger is all sticky from glue. Im discovering what typing for teenage boys feels like, and its not pleasant.

How much typing do you have to do to get a teenage boy?

00:32 / 12.02.04

No no! Someone taped over it! I have no idea what's on that tape!

Thats why I'm wrking on my dvd collection... or, well, asking people to buy me them for birthdays, etc.

00:35 / 12.02.04

Dangerously late for film watching! I'm going to construct some random film deciding device, and then probably decide to watch something else entirely by secretly knowing in my head what I want to watch.

I bet it's X-men 2 again. I really do think that's a perfect X-men film.

Goodnight, all!

I <3 Keggers. Yes everybody, I "2" Keggers. You may insert your own meaning for less-than-two, or you can pretend it looks like a heart.

Hell, if I didnt say you, you and you in the barbecrush thread, I crush you all with my prowess. Like I say, I reduced numbers on my list so someone else would be a bigger barbeslag than me.

Awwww!

Oh. And I love Americans too. On Ebay I emailed an American lady about postage cost for something over here. She said "Oh, I wont charge you any more... it'll just be in UK dollars though."

01:04 / 12.02.04

I just heard a commercila for the STD Valentine's Day Bouquet..silly me, must have been FTD. God I hope it was FTD.

01:09 / 12.02.04

Welll Im off to bed. The flue bug is not playing fair right now.
Good Night fellow lateshifters!

01:16 / 12.02.04

Goodnight Keggers! Get well soon!

01:26 / 12.02.04

Night, Keggers.

Anyone wanna fill me in on what FTD is?
