Late Shift! Baby, Late Shift!

22:54 / 27.04.05

I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway...

Who's with me?

lekvar

23:06 / 27.04.05

Not to Atlanta, no thank you.

23:08 / 27.04.05

No. I'm...erm... heading down the higway away from Atlanta.

That any better?

23:16 / 27.04.05

I was JUST about to START this.

23:19 / 27.04.05

Tough!

-pthbt-

Anyway, come on in and rejoice! For indeed, 'tis the first Shift birthed from mine own fingers and brain!

Give me a cigar and ruffle my hair. All of you!

I got me a car, it seats about ... five, at a push. Evenin' all. Lawnmower Man on telly, funny to see Our Pierce have a go at playing a mad scientist. Except he's not really mad, you know? He's just impulsive.

23:22 / 27.04.05

I remember reading a review of that, that described Pierce as being on a "one man crusade against acting".

23:25 / 27.04.05

(sucks teeth) ... harsh, man.

I rather rate him as an actor, actually. Check out Fourth Protocol, he's a chilling motherfucker.

Besides, this just isn't a very good film.

23:29 / 27.04.05

I was going to make the LOVE SHIFT.

Pffff.

I made a love bubble.

23:31 / 27.04.05

With Mark E Smith and Bamber Gascoigne's sister. Nice.

23:32 / 27.04.05

I kept reading about them making Casino Royale as the next Bond film, but having no Pierce. And I always felt sad, because he'd always talked about that being the film he wanted to make most of all. Ever.

But apparently they're making it with him now, so it's ok. I just don't want to see anyone sad, y'know?

23:32 / 27.04.05

Nice. Ah, technology. Bringing people together. Making them think different(ly).

To be accurate, this should actually be the Love Shift. The whole conceit would have worked a bit better then. Ah well. Live and learn.

What's that one where Pierce plays the American bomb disposal expert.
There's a nail bomb and I think he gets given head in the front seat of a sports car (but I might just be appropriating that one from the 'ole mental spank bank).

23:36 / 27.04.05

Hang on ... the film's called ... ooh it's about nine letters long ... fuck, I know this ... I think Patrick Stewart might be in it, too ...

It's called Live Wire. And Prof X isn't in it, but the late Al Waxman is. He's the dude from 'Cagney & Lacey' who points our heroines in the opposite direction during the opening credits.

23:38 / 27.04.05

By the way, this movie just went over the edge. Dude just got attacked by a lawnmower! But not an anthropomorphic one, despite certain implications of the title.

23:40 / 27.04.05

COME IN TO MY LOVE BUBBLE.

lekvar

23:43 / 27.04.05

Such cheek! I hardly know you, Suedey.

23:45 / 27.04.05

lekvar, that's part of the attraction. Open up Suedey, I'm coming in ...

I have crisps, but I'll keep the crumbs off the velour.

23:46 / 27.04.05

You don't need to ask me twice.

You may need to give me five minutes though.

lekvar

23:49 / 27.04.05

But I thought that the Late Shift always took place in the Fortress of Shiftitude.
It has those great comfey couches, and the bar...

Is it made with durable strength? I cannot handle a shoddy love bubble. It fills me with ANGER.

23:51 / 27.04.05

Guys guys guys! I'm not being literal. I mean the cute pink thing up there. It's cute.

hey late shifters: i'm up latish and drunkish 'cause i have to write an article on reggaeton for mag. this is the (current, ruff) intro:

"What would we do without artschools and ghettoes? I mean, really.

‘Cause (conveniently forgetting Neo-Pop Futurism for one mo) it’s always all about a) the exquisite knots of bourgeois self-loathing that synthesise experimental bohemianism or b) raw creativity backed into a corner, improvising with the barest of means and no help from no one – turning abandoned oil drums (fucking steel drums) and record players (machines for playing other peoples’ fucking records) into fucking instruments. Making defiant songs that expose poverty, name/shame those responsible, and more recently, with supreme chutzpah, trumping oppressors by blinging so fucking hard their nouveau riche schtick is visible on CIA satt-cam scans from New York to Puerto Rico. Wait. Puerto Rico? You heard. Zoom in."

i like introductions.

23:57 / 27.04.05

Whiner.

DOES YR VANITY KNOW NO BOUNDS?

Wait, I'm looking in the MIRROR, because I am PRETTY.
