The Lateshift: Its just like confetti for your brain

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

04:05 / 14.07.04

Bloody hell. I appear to have finished all my work an hour early. Something must be wrong...

04:10 / 14.07.04

I'm still at work and it's midnight! La la la!

I've been here since 7 am and we have a hyper kid who saps my very will to live. La la la!

Dance to THAT!

00:10 / 17.07.04

Around 9 pm EST or 1 am-ish, (I think) GMT. Anyone around?

odd jest on horn

00:15 / 17.07.04

1:14 GMT as far as I'm concerned. Summer vacation, tidying up my apartment :-)

00:17 / 17.07.04

Home, drinking wine with Keggers.

*clink!*

*clink!*

Ahem. 'Scuse me. (Insert giant running glomping tackle onto...) MAY!!!!! I haven't talked to you in ages and ages, I've seen you about but I kept missing you and I did miss you so hi.

OJOH- I'm in the midst of a similar situation myself, as I will soon be moving. There are several items that I'm hoping will turn up in the process.

00:27 / 17.07.04

Home. Wine. Standard stuff. Trying quite hard to stay awake, but I don’t know precisely why. But my poor tired brain is rather fuzzy atm, so apologies if I’m even more of a drooling idiot than usual.

And with that: hello, all you lovely shifty people.

00:27 / 17.07.04

I'm at work again, listening to Kate Bush and reading newspapers.

00:35 / 17.07.04

I'm trying to whip up some enthusiasm to clean the bathroom. I think that wine (or whisky) + the lovely Kate Bush, just might do the trick.

00:36 / 17.07.04

Aw, so very many of my favorite people. I'm so pleased!

00:40 / 17.07.04

Been to a party: standard school reunion, ex boyfriend, girl in white bikini, steal someone's beer kind of night.

00:43 / 17.07.04

'lo all. home from a 'last orders' drink which turned into several in a casino. Very odd places, casinos. But I'm nicely sober, and sleeeepy...

00:47 / 17.07.04

So to recap the evening's themes: Drinking, cleaning, and Kate Bush. I'm just feeling tremendously warm and snuggly and smoochy towards you all.

00:52 / 17.07.04

Ah, I'll be drinking in a scant few hours... probably not doing much in the way of cleaning, though.

00:55 / 17.07.04

Although I should start packing- myself and mono are supposed to me moving next month, and I have vague memories of her calling me yesterday to tell me the place we want to move to is sorted...

00:56 / 17.07.04

mwah. I should be cleaning my kitchen/doing my washing up. Am't

00:59 / 17.07.04

ooh, good nooz on the house, stoats. are you staying in the area?

01:00 / 17.07.04

All being well, it's literally just round the corner- only a few hundred yards away, in fact.

01:07 / 17.07.04

Gosh Snap, snap and snap. I just cleaned a bathroom and a kitchen from top to bottom. Not even my own bathroom, either, I was helping my brother tidy up his house for when his wife and kid get back. But it all looks lovely now, I totally excel in my role as a star sibling/brother-in-law/groovy uncle.

I was rewarded with beer and a watch of the muppet show dvd. So it was funfun in the end.

Hello to all the newsters. I play a record and in the meantime everyone wanders in, looking cool.

01:18 / 17.07.04

Would you like to come clean my kitchen? I can provide dinner/drinks of your choice(as long as the food's veggie), and tapes of Bagpuss, Mr Benn, *and* the Moomins.

Deal?

01:25 / 17.07.04

Ooooh. Dinner! My own family doesn’t think to provide dinner! hey, if you’re doing the cooking, I’ll gladly clean your kitchen up, before and after. And I’ll even hoover the hallway for free.

And Bagpuss. Gotta be bagpuss.

01:26 / 17.07.04

Hello Sally! Yes, yes...just waiting for Keggers to hand over the controls as I get a lovely wine stained glow on.

Yow! Love that glow!

01:28 / 17.07.04

Yay for Bagpuss.

01:29 / 17.07.04

Ah, I miss the glow. My sweet fiance doesn't drink, and it's just no fun doing it alone. (Well, yes it is, but not if there's someone else around judging. Though he swears he's not.)

When I went to Spain, I had bona fide sangria for the first time and it was so scrumptious. It provided a cool glow, so sweet and luminous.

Is this Keggers Brand Wine that you're sipping at?

01:30 / 17.07.04

Deal. I will cook dinner for you forever if that's an exchange with cleaning.

Oooh, have I just scored myself a maid?

actually, Stoats, I prefer:

Yyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy for Bagpuss.

01:34 / 17.07.04

Can I just say that Kate Bush totally rocks! My son and I were outside earlier cloudbusting with the cumulus nimbus clouds. They were beautiful and Keg took pictures of them. They were even PINK! YAH REICH! YAY PINK!

01:37 / 17.07.04

Is this Keggers Brand Wine that you're sipping at?

No, he is brewing some at the moment however, the witch!

*insert cackle here*

01:38 / 17.07.04

It’s Yyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy for Bagpuss if that’s delivered with a big catlike yawny stretch.

Excellent. I now have myself a reputation. I am the Barbelith scrubber. Of kitchens.

01:39 / 17.07.04

A gifted little witch at that, from what I understand. He should try putting his hand to alchemy.

01:43 / 17.07.04

spot on with the yaaayyyy, was imagining hugely enjoyable vast Bagpuss stretching.

so, how long to we have to wait for 'Bedhead: High-Class Scrubber' as a suitname?

So,onto important question, waht's the collective noun for Bagpuss?

I tend to go with 'Bagpi'. Thoughts?

01:46 / 17.07.04

He should try putting his hand to alchemy.

Try?

01:46 / 17.07.04

I've always said Bagpi. Of course, there is relly ONLY ONE Bagpuss, but I've been forced into use of the plural by my large collection of cuddly toy Bagpi.

01:50 / 17.07.04

Bagtopussy rolls off the tongue quite nicely, but is one heck of an ugly word to look at.

Rolls off *my* tongue, anyway. But then, I am quite drunk, so everything is currently rolling off my tongue, one way or the other.
