Well, Ive gotten abck to working on both my Mage Cartoons and my tarot cards. Yesterday was shopping for camera odds&ends and making plans with friends to hit the local junk shops for things to use in the cards. As for me being sick..thats over and done with. I went back to work yesterday without fear of passing the flu onto anyone there. And today im planning on crashing Fae Mages party so I can be one of the people who get drunk and have sex on hir dining room table.

Maybe if you take your poking machine they can work it into the film somehow.

Excellent! I have nothing but bee-YOO-tiful friends, so you're in for a treat, Keggers!

And I'm excited about both of your renewed dedications. The Mages kill me and I've liked the Tarot work you've displayed.

Before I'm gone, anything to report, Bed Head? Any grand play plans for your week's end?

(And yes, Kegs, you must bring the Multi-Poke.)
 
 
Saint Keggers
20:20 / 13.02.04
Im sorry but I've been informed that the multipoke may be classified as a WMD and so its not allowed on any aircraft.

Oh God, I wish. I going to chain myself to this desk and try and get some actual work done. You know when you have something really, really important to do, everything else becomes suddenly engrossing? You know, like there’s the story of some bloke who had to study for an exam the next day so he rowed himself out to an island where there wouldn’t, couldn’t be any distractions, only to spend all afternoon playing with ants? That’s me. I just spent all afternoon going through my entire record collection to make the ultimate compilation tape. It seemed very important at the time.

What's on the tape?

And I'm certain it's important, now, as well. Best of luck on your work-dedication. I'm off, now.

Be well, all, Kegs, BedHead, Deva, Maz and others...

Delights, I mean. Damn, I'm late!
 
 
Bed Head

I would tell you, but it would break your head/show me up as a frizzly hippy muppet in amongst all Barbelith’s cool kids.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

Hey! I am a hiipy/frizzly muppet...just ask those who know me. Or those who admit to knowing me!

Why beard? Why Graham Norton? Tell us more, Ex.

And look! See, I went to watch Friends and eat my tea, and then I had a bath, and now it's 11pm and I still haven't written any fanfic! How does that happen?
 
 
Saint Keggers
21:01 / 13.02.04
Gotta run, off to work.

Bye all!
 
 
Bed Head
21:04 / 13.02.04
Bye K! You'll get my list, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers! In a nice way!

Sorry, back, hullo, I fell asleep. Cats are a bad influence, just sitting there, dozing, then you start blinking too, and before you know it, two hour cat nap.

21:16 / 13.02.04
Bye, Keg, hello bop. (one door closes and another one opens.)
 
 
Cat Chant
21:19 / 13.02.04
Bed Head, I bet whatever is on your tape, it is cooler than my music. Bet you bet you bet you.
 
 
Bed Head
21:25 / 13.02.04
I’ll post mine if you post yours, Deva. I’m slightly concerned that I’ve overdone the Greatest! Ultimate! Compilation! Tape! Ever! thing. It was just me whittling away an afternoon with my records. And I am officially Barbelith’s Least Cool.

Hello Bop! If you think that by clocking in twice you're now on double time, you've got another thing coming!

21:40 / 13.02.04
I'M NOT YOUR NEIGHBOUR! YOU'RE BAKERSFIELD TRASH! TAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH! TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

I just had to let that out. I've been listening to Pavement non-stop for weeks.

Look at Deva jump on the tears for fears bandwagon! Fashionista! (note: joke!)
 
 
gingerbop
21:42 / 13.02.04
Yes Im going veryvery fast. Im feeling particuarly silly, needing 2 mod requests in the space of, uh, 5 minutes.
Im not sure how I missed it, but the multiple pokings sounded lots of fun. Especially as Jade started it

Tonight I am busy obsessing about Dennis from eastenders.
And Deva, your fanfic is most delightful. Does it have a name- wait- Harry Potter and the Impregnation of Hermione. Im sure I've read that here before but only half taken in that you were writing it. I think.
 
 
Bed Head
21:46 / 13.02.04
Oh, Deva. What a wonderful tape. I was only thinking about Anchorage the other day, how I haven’t heard it since I was a melancholy youth but it’s managed to stay with me all this time, nevertheless. It was listening to the Texas Campfire Tapes that reminded me, I love that album. Anyway, so,

Mississippi John Hurt - Nobody’s dirty business
Gil Bateman - My Daddy Walked in Darkness
Jonathan Richmond - She Cracked
Bob Dylan and the Band - Apple Suckling Tree
Geeshie Wiley - Last Kind words
New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Whiskey
John Lee Hooker/Canned Heat - Let’s Make It Pretty Baby
Janis - Turtle Blues
The Primitives - Crash
Love - A House Is Not A Hotel
Little Walter - Mellow Down Easy
Stones - Don'tcha Bother Me
Brian Eno - Dead Finks Don’t Talk
Billie Holiday - Swing it Brother Swing
Joan Baez - Simple Twist Of Fate
Fred Neil - Fools Are A Long Time Coming

..it’s supposed to be a bouncy tape, for when I’m in a bouncing around mood! Most of the songs have a bit of bounce in them! It’s..

Ah, who am I kidding? Your tape wins. By a mile.

At least you didn't mispell trash, bop. A-be-bop-a-do-wop.


Mood = excitable!
 
 
Cat Chant
21:53 / 13.02.04
No! Gingerbop, it is called In Loco Parentis! Which is a particularly good title when you realize that this is also the story known as The One Where Snape Calls Harry 'James' (In Bed). (I am way too easily amused. But when I finish this one I can finally start the Diana Wynne Jones slash novel.)

And Bed Head, you must be cooler than me because I have literally only ever heard of five of the groups/artists on your tape and I have only heard one of the songs (the Billie Holiday one, which is a brilliant song and if all the rest are half as good then you are definitely a genius of eclectic bouncing).

Suedehead - I was listening to Tears for Fears before you were born! Before I was born!! Before they were born!!!

Oh good lord, you have to send me a copy when it's finished, Deva. And if you are uncool- I've heard of 2 of them. But yes, I can usually spell trash. Although I did just type it "trahs" before correcting it, I must admit.

How about a job in an opticians? Would it be intolerably dull, do you think? It sounds like a job I'd like, but having never stepped into an opticians in my life, I have no idea what they're like.

Grr. I'm going to have to face it. My day off is over, and now I have to go to bed and then get up tomorrow and write my fucking bastard PhfuckingD.

Oh well. At least I get to stop talking about Latin hexameter poetry and start talking about Philip K Dick in this chapter. Hee hee.
 
 
Bed Head
22:16 / 13.02.04
Goodnight Deva! Right, I’m off, too. ‘Real world’ stuff to do. Happy Valentine’s everyone. Mwah.
