THE LATE SHIFT: 4 real, holmes!

22:55 / 19.04.04

Yeah, yeah. Maybe there was one knocking around somewhere, but I don't see it, k? I mean, it's not floating about up here, there's not one with LATE SHIFT right there in the title like the good old days. I remember when it was all about pie and the like. Happy days, them.

Kick it to me, bad boy! What's up?

22:57 / 19.04.04

Well then.

I'm bored and my guitars e string just broke, so it looks like its going to be a long night. at least I can sit on the bus back to manchester and sleep tommorow.

In other news : kid606 makes me feel like going to some sort of disco bu at the same time makes me feel like music has just died somewhere. oh well!

23:00 / 19.04.04

I'm at work (again) but I'm currently listening to the first Firewater album which I'd never heard before, so I'm happy. It's ace.

23:01 / 19.04.04

I just finished gardening. FINISHED, YOU HEAR ME?

..for now. I'm tired though, WOO! it got up to 91 degrees here! hot as a mofo.

how is everyone?

23:01 / 19.04.04

and am I the ONLY one who has not heard this firewater business? just me?

Mazarine

Thank goodness. I was beginning to feel unhinged. johnj, not sure if we've met, hi, Stoatie, how goes the evening?

23:03 / 19.04.04

is it your upper or lower e?

23:08 / 19.04.04

upper, as in, er, high. It goes alright, it'll get gradually better with each can of boddingtons, then progressively worse, then better as i pull out the bong,.

right now its at an all time low, i mean really, "yes m8 im on my fourth tin m9" on an internet forum. at night. "yes m9 getting stoned LOL" I think there are words, you know, for nobbers like me. bit of prole slang. nobbers. for real. nice to meet you all!

23:09 / 19.04.04

Okay, cheers, Maz (well, except for "first night back at work" blues, but that always passes fairly quickly.)

bk- Firewater absolutely rule. Kind of like Foetus crossed with Tom Waits, only playing klezmer, if that makes any sense.

23:10 / 19.04.04

Oh, and hi, john. I'm forgetting my m4nn3r2. (sorry. I won't do it again.)

23:14 / 19.04.04

man, im sk00l3d in the code of l337. My "clan" nearly went pro, and I wrote fierce emails to tournament organisers about rules and such. I think one the people I used to play with went to malasia to 0wn some people up.

Go go counterstrike heros.

There was something special about having wasted two years of my life with counterstrike, I mean, as far as accomplishments go its nothing to write home abuot, but at least it added a well structured almost continuous victory to my life.

hm.

23:16 / 19.04.04

You know, when I click refresh there should be a post waiting.

I’ve just looked up Firewater on Amazon and I like the look of their album covers, so I might just investigate further, as I make most of my musical choices based on cover art. I end up with a fair few records I don’t listen to much, but they *do* look pretty.

I’m listening to Big Mama Thornton on a compilation, so in my head I’m quite cool at the moment. Hello lateshifters, hello newbies. What have you been up to Maz, Suede?

23:27 / 19.04.04

I never started one of these before. I just thought I'd let you know that.

I've just been doing a little sketching! This is rare! I discovered/remembered I quite like drawing. And then I get mad. And then I like it. Looking foward to finding the time to cram some more in...

I think it's love.

I'm absolutely certain at this point there are loads of things I should be doing/remembering/nothing down, but they're all just dastardly escaping me. Bastards.

I'm listening to sonic youth's new album, aussi.

I'm living on my own at the moment, which is novel, for me. It's hard work, though. Remembering to buy food and such.

Not being able to see the last few posts makes me sad. I thought we were getting that back?

23:29 / 19.04.04

I do hope so- I find it very confusing.

23:29 / 19.04.04

this firewater had better be worth me killing this pc with kazaa for!

23:40 / 19.04.04

Sorry for rambling, by the by, but I think drawing has given me a little adrenaline rush.

Yes. Drawing.

23:44 / 19.04.04

I hope we get it, too. I forget to answer people, and feel guilty. because I have issues.

Bed Head

23:45 / 19.04.04

bless you

23:45 / 19.04.04

I know your pain kittie. I think I forgot to answer you once, one sunny day.

For that I will forever be sorry. Can you forgive me?

23:47 / 19.04.04

Bless you.

(Who exactly are we blessing here?)

23:47 / 19.04.04

how could I NOT forgive you, suede m'man?

uh, wait. I still want paintings from you! and then we shall speak of forgiveness.

23:48 / 19.04.04

Ah! Uh! Ooh! Eh?

I don't paint. Painting is for old people.

23:50 / 19.04.04

ooh, I'm telling our friend todd you said so.

23:50 / 19.04.04

people in my work at the co op used to say "aw bless them."

You know, housewifes who enjoy the cheap thrill that the supervisor badge gives them. and the extra fifty pence an hour pay. Fifty pence an hour for you to act that bit more smug, fifty pence an hour of power.

This firewater is a bit...tribal?

23:52 / 19.04.04

Todd thinks he can mess with me but Todd can't mess with me because if I messed with him I would totally mess Todd up. No messing.

It's like I've eaten too many sweets, but I haven't even eaten any sweets! Pow!

23:53 / 19.04.04

its all gone a bit in crowd. YOU FUCKERS.

i...sorry

Bed Head

23:53 / 19.04.04

Painting is for old people

Bloody kids! etc

Blessing BK, because have issues sounds a little bit like a good old-fashioned sneeze if you’re cloth-eared like me. Your hearing will go too one day, and then you’ll wish you had fab painting skills to take comfort in.

23:54 / 19.04.04

'salright... I'm lost too.

23:55 / 19.04.04

It's alright, I appreciate the painting! I never meant to alienate you all so.

I will learn to paint right now! I've only ever really painted in watercolour. And badly, at that.

23:58 / 19.04.04

now its all gone emo? are there several different bands masquerading around as firewater?

23:58 / 19.04.04

Howa are you anyway, BH? I don't believe we've heard any of your pleasant tales, as of yet...

00:00 / 20.04.04

They're quite eclectic... which one are you listening to, johnj?

00:01 / 20.04.04

Oh, and I fully reccomend the new Sonic Youth album "Nurse" to anyone, especially peopel who've never heard them. Yes.
