The boy stood me up by text message, after I'd spent my last fiver on lubricant. The message was unconvincing, and arrived only twenty minutes or so before he was meant to arrive. This is the second time he has done such a thing in only a week of knowing him.

I spent the evening watching music t.v. and crying into my appletiser.

Be careful, man. I've been mainlining Battlestar Galactica and just barely making it through without turning into a gibbering Baltar duplicate.


My advice for mainlining Battlestar is to do it while lifting weights and drinking copious amounts of whiskey.

I frakkin' did.

Will you be alone? Without interruptions?

Just how strange are you allowed to get?

Totally alone, no interruptions.

Incredibly strange is desired.

I suppose with Twin Peaks there's less chance of getting myself banned by accidentally posting in ebonics on Sunday night.

*shivers*

I'll have to get a bottle of whiskey for the next Battlestar sit-in, though I quite like the Baltar weirdness creeping into my brain. Everything becomes such an issue of pragmatism! Do I help someone because I'm inherently a good person, or because it will prevent them from hurting me?

Today is good because I've had two days off, I have a clear date for when my wisdom teeth have to come out, and I've started reading another Vonnegut book. Slapstick. It's Supper Club night and my friend's birthday, so that should be good. It's rainy and horrible outside but I have one thousand words of a new story done and a vague idea of what I want it to be about.

This is not a dilemma.

Make the right decision, or you'll have to go, man.

Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil as environment minister in Australia. Sweet!

So we came and conquered and found
Riches of commons and kings
Who strangled and wrestled the ground

Happy things.

The sun is shining brighter than it's shone for at least a couple of weeks and I have nothing to do today. Tomorrow is payday and I still have money in my pocket. The new series of my favourite programme ever The Mighty Boosh is on again tonight and I'm going to be watching it with the most beautiful girl in town. Young Folks by Peter, Bjorn and John just came on the stereo.

Alright!

It felt like a dilemma when the Twin Peaks boxset was the only one sat on my desk.

I can't remember ever being as happy as when I opened the little box full of The Wire this morning.

Mmmm, Peter Garrett as Environment Minister may be a step up, but he's still anti-abortion.

I'm very tired tonight, but happy. In a week I'll be in Thailand, and in a couple of weeks after that, Vietnam. I love my house at the moment, so I'm kind of sad to leave, but... Bangkok! Noodles at 3am!

But before I go, I get to play some. We're hosting a Fame-inspired theme party tomorrow night. We're gonna have an outdoor cinema in the backyard, screening Fame obviously, and if the weather's good, we'll be able to hang out all weekend watching shit on a big screen. Plus, I'm borrowing a mixer for the party... Rather excited about the opportunity to play around with the equipment. I've been downloading music all day.

Finally, I get me a new laptop tomorrow. Whee! Yay for new toys.

Skimming the internet. Not expecting anything. Download 'Sex Bomb' by Flipper off 20 Jazz Funk Greats. Think "Wow, haven't heard this in yonks".

Then think, "Fack, this is the best fucking piece of music ever".

The speakers on my computer are shite and I've still managed to give myself a mosh wound. PUMPED.

That's a little off-putting to me personally, Disco, but then again he's not gonna be in charge of anything like that is he? So yay for his enviro-cred, and nay for his Age of Darkness abortion views.

This piece (PDF) about Sarah Hrdy, anthropologist and feminist, gives me a happy by somewhat restoring my faith in evolutionary psychology as having the possibility of not being a pathetic excuse of a scientific theory designed for perpetuating sexual and social sterotypes. Read it!

XKCD, routine giver of happies.

(Wait... unless that one wasn't written specifically for me. Maybe the author is cheating on me with Stoatie...)

CASANOVA Number Eleven out this week! Finding the name of that klezmer song I like, "Palesteena" and downloading it (even as I wonder at the implications of the title..)! Vegan Chinese food for dinner! Vonnegut! Exclamation points! Story ideas! Hot chocolate! Dance! Dance! Dance!

And, you know, the probability that the lateshift thread will get me through my Friday night shift at work.

I wrote and felt beautiful whilst it was happening. I have learnt to make jewellery beads from Rosemary leaves. The orld is lovely and I have air in my lungs.

Hooray for life!

I just found Alistair Appleton's facebook profile.
(It was under Alistair Appleton, unsurisingly)

Now, I need a pretext to send him a message.
Possibly about the yoga class he is advertising.

My plan is starting to come together.

I didn't know who Alistair Appleton was 'til I checked his Wikipedia page and SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS does it contain the most unsettling sketch of any person ever.

One of my friends did that drawing. He is getting a reputation as a stalker.

I will tell him you where frightened.

You can tell him I was too. I just wasn't brave enough to speak up unless I knew there was a support network for me.
 
 
Princess
13:59 / 04.12.07
Here is the full image, and caption, for those of you who are brave.

As I'm linking to his drawing, I should probably tell you all to visit his site. He is a nice man. Very Barbelith, though not a member.

(He was put off by the application letter)

Crazy stalker tendencies aside, your friend's blog is a pretty entertaining read, Princess.

Climbing over the first snowbank of the season and sinking down like quicksand. The first ass-over-teakettle slip and fall of the season. And a mug of mulled wine when I returned home. The evil that is winter has been grossly inflated during the summer months.

Squirrels going peculiar is part of the fun. There was a theory going around for a while that London squirrels act funny because they're on crack (said crack having been hidden in parks and gardens frequented by squirrels). I do not know if this is true; I mean, how are you going to give a squirrel a piss-test?

Anyhoo, my personal happy is this: The Wergle Flomp Poetry Contest. What a lovely idea.

Ahahaha. My mate just got into the second round of Big Brother Auditions.

Getting to watch someone you know on it is so much better than actually ever being in it!
I will be indescribably happy should this happen.
