Such a priviledge, thank you Keggers.

I'm having a lovely peaceful 2 week break from all my lovely kiddies that I want to throttle most of the time. It's bliss- I bake stuff- and I can eat it all!

Oh it's been so long since I've lateshifted, I've lost touch with how many pages one should have. How upsetting.

Well a good rule of thumb is start at one page and continue from there.
Why are you throttling kids? Then again, why not?

More importantly, where are you bop, and how're you doing my dear?
 
 
gingerbop
23:22 / 12.08.04
Well, m'dear, supposedly I work 35 hours a week, which is bullshit- I reakon it's more like 60. And the eldest is just the biggest pain in the ass I've ever met. She just winds up with others constantly, and thus I usually want to throttle her.

Give her alchohol. It soooo quiets them down.

SPECCY! Why hello my love! I'm still in London, partly your fault, if I may say so, but I'm coming home on tuesday. I'm mainly good, bar irritating children. And you both? And is Jupiters Child off to the army yet?
 
 
specofdust
23:27 / 12.08.04
No, the boys hoping to go sometime next year, untill then he's working in the character building retail outlet called comet!Joy.

I'm same as always, just me

So hows london treating you?
 
 
gingerbop
23:30 / 12.08.04
Oh my. And how's his hair? Has it recovered from the shock yet?

London's good. I still like it. And sheesht, I dont think I told you- I got into Circus Space, so I'm staying here properly now. Was I au pairing last time I spoke to you? Well thats what I'm up to. Are you going back to the hole of hell next week?
 
 
specofdust
23:34 / 12.08.04
tuesday, but dont mention it and in a couple of hours I can convince myself its not real and these days will last forever.

Hair is still short as ever.

Well done with the circus, I'm glad someones doing something smart with their life

Heck, gingerbop - not seen you round these parts for a while. S'pose I'm a bit of a comer and goer, though, so maybe it's just me. Last time we crossed threads I think I was still Stevie Dubplate. Hope you're enjoying your new job/location.

Finished nights last night, so I'm drinking lager as a means to enable sleep and thence readjust to daylight hours. Great therapy.

Evening all. Probably won't be able to post much- I'm busy as fuck, having just been told I've got the next couple of nights to learn how to run an entire department that I've never worked in before.

Oh, and just looked up Circus Space - congrats on getting in, sounds very exciting - whaddya doing there?
 
 
gingerbop
23:51 / 12.08.04
Well, yes, although I have lurked a little, but I dont spend enough time online anymore to track whats going very much. Makes it very confusing when people change their names, and you miss the period when they're bracketed underneath.
 
 
gingerbop
23:56 / 12.08.04
Well, its everything in the first year (but mainly performing and physical conditioning classes), but I want to do acrobatics and flying trapeze. I have to choose ONE to specialise in, and I dont really know- I've never done trapeze, but I think I might like it, and possibly be good at it. Dont have to decide for a year anyway.

Speaking of the circus, are you gonna see cirque du soleil in janurary bop? I'm heading down sometime then to see them myself.
 
 
gingerbop
00:05 / 13.08.04
Ooh, I'd love to! I'm going to see Circus Oz this month, which looks really good. As part of the course, you HAVE to go and see some shows- hopefully that'll be one of them.
 
 
specofdust
00:06 / 13.08.04
Right, the beds not gonna come down stairs for me, so I guess I better go upstairs for it, night night all.

Have fun bop, glad your doing good in london, 'till next time

Trapeze.

Nice.

Rather you than me; I tip my (metaphorical) hat to you.

Got tickets for Cirque Du Soleil in Manchester for Jan. Very mucg looking forward to that one...

Last time I came to London before I moved here, I was very tempted to go and see them. It came down to a choice over seeing them or getting home, and god knows why I thought going home was the better option... thats what 5 days in a matchbox with 6 people does to you.

Ginger, hooray! Give the brats valerian root, it's probably less of a crime than alcohol. How are you? How are your joints?

Well you need to establish some ground rules Stoat, I'd've thought. And enforce them brutally, otherwise there's a danger things might get out of control.

My suggestions are thus:

1) No one's allowed to go to the lav unless they've had eight beers. It's entry level this, but you'd be amazed how many businesses go to the wall because they ignored this basic principle.

2) Don't be afraid to have The Happy Flowers playing all the time, or Phil Collins, or Judas Priest. You're just going to look like a wuss if you don't, and they'll sense your weakness, like sharks swimming round in a blood-stained jaccuzi.

3) And when I say " they... "

Well you maybe know what I'm talking about, or maybe you don't.

Whatever, if you see one those clockwork rabbits from those shops round Covent Garden trying to get into the building, don't think about fighting, just get out of there, fast.

Eh, it's not all that hard.
Just give 'em a good zetz upside their head if they look like they're slacking.

All sound advice. I'll take it.

My to do list tonight was very easy to take care of.

Buy pie.

I now have pie.

For eight weeks I had been living in a brownstone apartment on the lower east side. Apart from myself, the building was almost entirely populated by young, budding amateur cartoonists.
You have no idea the torture I suffered every night; tossing and turning in my bed all the while through the paper thin walls they carried on drinking india ink cut with tonic and breaking into squeaky-voiced, falsetto renditions of Cole Porter standards before collapsing into huddled mounds of black-toothed giggling. "Would you please keep it down?" I'd shout, "Some of us have respectable jobs in the manufacture of novelty paperweights to go to in the morning!" But do you think they provided the slightest iota of aquiescence? No. The only response to my plaintive cries was waking up to a veritable sheaf of caricatures pinned to the wall opposite my door, professional grade and cruelly efficacious at exagerating my less attractive features.
Well, to cut a long story short, Bill Sienkiewicz and I settled out of court and I honestly can't remember which of us committed grievous bodily harm upon the other first.

You just have to go one day at a time really, lick your wounds as they come, pour yourself a tall one, reflect on the vaguely obscene nature of the phrase, "lick your wounds", you know how it is.

I was watching Circe de Soleil on T.V., and I swear they did that thing that Hippetty Hopper does to Sylvester when he lies on his back and juggles him with his feet. I've never actually seen that outside of a cartoon before.

Bon soir!! I just came out of the closet about an hour ago- no, nothing fun like that, there was a tornado warning. My fiance and I explained to the cats that if we lived in New York City, this would be our entire apartment, and they calmed down.

How's everyone else?
