The Late Shift: All honey, no vinegar.

02:12 / 23.01.05

But would you like some green eggs and ham?

alas

02:15 / 23.01.05

I would like them in a boat!

02:22 / 23.01.05

In a boat in a moat? Did you ask Stoat?

I'm a fledgling designer in the California Bay Area. The weather is wonderful, the rent is steep, the radio is niether here nor there, and we're (artists, graphic designers, etc.) thick like thieves!

02:45 / 23.01.05

I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AND SOMEONE STOLE MY PHONE AND I ONLY HAD ABOUT 4 DRINKS BUT ITS OK I CAME HOME AND HAD A FRY UP. FUCK!

02:50 / 23.01.05

Oooh...Sorry to hear that Suedey. That does indeed suck!

02:53 / 23.01.05

WHAT? FUCK YOU!

02:57 / 23.01.05

ARRRRRGHGHHHHH!

Apologies, I shall stop impersonising the classic British drunk. Possibly. It is time to sleep, before I, perhaps, go on some manner of rampage.

Luckily I blocked all my phone wotsits before getting to this stage. And luckily someone I knew gave me another phone which they *found* in a *club* before this one was lost to the sea of drunks... it's ok, though, we read the text messages left on the *found* phone, and the girl who used to own it was cheating on her boyfriend who she *loved* and her friend was all "WTF!" and stuff.

03:11 / 23.01.05

hahaha

impersonising.

03:14 / 23.01.05

impersonising??

03:23 / 23.01.05

Yeah... don't you know English?

03:23 / 23.01.05

heeeyyy

I don't know if anyone is still up, but it's snowing like a bastard here... got some nice photos of walking home through the blizzard...

03:24 / 23.01.05

Show us, you wealthy harlot!

That's supposed to be affectionate.

ibis the being

03:32 / 23.01.05

My roomates in a blizzard.

Hot off the presses.

03:33 / 23.01.05

I want to hold them. Or at least, invite them in and offer them teat.

03:34 / 23.01.05

TEA. TEA.

I have no teat action to offer.

ibis the being

03:36 / 23.01.05

HA!

It's too late, you offered teat and THEY WANT TEAT.

03:40 / 23.01.05

Aieeeeee! I retreat to bed!

But in the morning, I can offer some lovely English teat.

Tea, obviously.

08:08 / 23.01.05

i am soooooo high right now. fuck.

09:37 / 23.01.05

I'm all hungover. And I'm pretty sure I need to apologise to someone, but I'm not sure who or why.

It must be Sunday morning.

I'm chirpy and cheerful and NOT hungover! Stoatie don't throw anything at me, please!

I'd just like to give a shout out to Portland which is an AWESOME place - I lived for 3 months when I was a wee 19-year-old and have been back several times since. Chad this would solve your problem as it's blue and I believe the cost of living is pretty reasonable there.

And I am SO jealous of the snow! Though not too jealous to enjoy the sunny, bright day in London at the moment. Sometimes I miss snow, but after 3 weeks of it on my holiday, well, I don't miss it that much.

11:31 / 23.01.05

Stoat: Just hope that nobody tries to rob you because yr too hungover to get out of bed.

(Note: this actually happened).

12:18 / 23.01.05

Wow, this place has turned into the Early Shift or something...odd.

12:22 / 23.01.05

Shifting rules at any time of day. It's a fact. They've done tests and everything.

I'm feeling... well, still hungover, but much better. I've just spent a very strange couple of hours shopping for groceries then going for a pint with TangoMango and his 3-year-old daughter (and her toy cow), I've just made the necessary phone calls to ensure that I didn't piss anyone off TOO badly last night, and now I'm listening to Comets On Fire and trying to decide which out of playing Rome: Total War or watching Battle Royale would be the most productive use of an afternoon.

12:27 / 23.01.05

Wow, this is one LATE shift.

Hello everybody!

12:37 / 23.01.05

Well I've always said, a person has to know where their toy cow is at all times. You never know when you'll need some bovine intervention.

Hello Jessica!

12:40 / 23.01.05

Keggers, you truly are a comic genius. An EEEVIL comic genius, obviously, but a comic genius nonetheless.

12:41 / 23.01.05

Thank you. What brought that on?

12:58 / 23.01.05

The "bovine intervention" thing. For some reason it really tickled me.

13:00 / 23.01.05

Saddly, its not mine. It was from The Tick. A true comic masterpiece of its times.

13:06 / 23.01.05

Actually, keggers, there's something I need to ask you. Very quietly.

(whispers)
is there some sort of Canadian invasion going on in dear old Blighty? I only ask, cos on Wednesday, Baz Auckland and his girlfriend arrived, so, being the good host I am, I took them to the pub. And got hammered. Then, I was about to go to sleep (it being about 10pm and me being very tired and drunk) when I got a phone call telling me that m,y next-door neighbour ALSO had two Canadians staying who'd just arrived and wanted to go to the pub. Thus my drunken ramblings in the Late Shift on Wednesday night. Was I unwittingly giving aid to the spearhead of an invasion force? Not that I'd mind. I'm just curious.

13:10 / 23.01.05

Invasion? No, no...never. Not us. We canadians dont invade. Its simply not done. We just go from country to country drinking it dry.

13:15 / 23.01.05

Ah. That's all right then.
