Eek! I just bought a plane ticket!! My girlfriend has been accepted into her CELTA course in Berlin, and we're finally running away! True, the ticket I bought is only from London to Berlin, and I have yet to actually get a Toronto to London ticket, but still! I'm leaving! I have a set date of departure! Woo!!

Ich fahre nach Berlin! Nur 90 Tage! La la la!

....ssiiiiiggghhhh of contentment.....

It's 6.17 am. I'm drinking a glass of wine.

Don't panic. I've just finished 3 very productive hours of work. I have:

Edited and rewritten two articles for publication (basically turned them from stream-of-conc notes into stories)*and* edited an abstract for another article. Think one of them is ok to good, the second was fascinating and challenging, and I *think* i've risen to the challenge, and the abstract is looking like it has potential. and this is the first draft, pending feedback.

And remembered just how well i work in the early morning.

So i'm feeling productive, capable and worthy of a glass of good red wine. Sweet dreams all.

Now if I can only fnid a relaxed *paying*, early hours mental health/journo job...

Not so much a happy, more of a surreal bemused moment in Leicester Square last night, when a scarily vociferous "Are you a Winner or a Sinner?"

He must travel a lot, I had to physically walk around him yesterday.

The Rich Hall election program on BBC2 tonight made me very happy.

Happy. No one reason. Just happy. But after some stressful days, it's just lovely to be happy.

But if there's one reason, it's probably to be found here (do a search for 'tukka', it's the hanging candleabra, bought with my sis' christmas money for me. woohaah.)

And I have 'work' tomorrow. Which is a whole world of happy, and right now I'm feeling incredibly lucky for that.

It's all about the music atm.

The music: yesterday Runce played me the new DJ/rupture mix: almost all wonderful.

And today the charity shop score of the year:

DJ/rupture - Minesweeper Suite for £2.50

And it's *fucking great*.

Wooooo charity shops!

Ah, damn. Sleep, and the cessation of stress. All the things that were so *difficult* last week are looking so much easier and... not less significant, but less scary, whatever happens, y'know? I'm feeling positively sunny.

As you may already realise I'm quite into wrestling, I was at an event on Saturday that made me very happy. The show itself was top and the crowd was the biggest they've had (around 1,500) and afterwards I got to hang about back stage with the UK talent and the American imports. After that it was round the corner to a nightclub (which was utter shit but we can bypass that) - big ego boost jumping a queue of around 200 people because your with the wrestlers and then much drinking surrounded by Doug Williams/Colt Cabana/Birchill and the other stars - woot.

Also met D-lo, Terry Funk and AJ Styles.

Wrestling~~~~

I am closing on my first house Friday. I didn't expect to find everything I wanted in my first house, but I did. The whole having my life packed up into boxes bit is a bit stressful, but the payoff at the end is making it all nice.

RAAAAAAAAH!

I've waited almost a year for it since I moved here and now I've finally got it! I am SOOO happy.* I can look at big images and not wait 20 years for sites to open and I can upload stuff and...and...and best of all I can (*sits down and fans self due to overexcitability*) DOWNLOAD at a rate faster than a beard!


*Is this sad? Am I horribly and utterly pathetic to be this happy about it?

I have Sky +! I have Sky +! I know I'm evil but I have Sky +!

Did have a ghastly minute where I was on the internet, disconnected because the installation man had to fiddle about connecting my Sky + box to the telephone line and then my modem connected but I couldn't download anything from the net, but that seems to be just a random blip.

And now I have Sky +!

I got a job for Christmas (well, over Christmas anyhow - after January the future is still uncertain). Which means I can afford to eat and buy presents! And the world's most eligible gay Jewish bachelor works in my office and is most entertaining.

I just booked my flight to Germany for New Year's! After having to cancel my Christmas vacation in Michigan due to unforeseen circumstances (my fiancee calling the whole relationship off), the prospect of being surrounded by drunken friends at home for New Year's fills me with wonderful, jumping up and down excitement. And it was half the price the travel agent would have charged me too...hooray for the internet.

I'm still on a contact high from the Incredibles, which was *lovely*. And, having hoddered into town to get to an early showing, decided to check if Stewart Lee's last night was sold out. Which it was, but the nice people at the desk told me that he was doing another show in December, and gave me a leaflet, which told me that the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players where also playing at the Soho Theatre. So that's all good. And then, after a pleasant wander back, Marcus Brigstocke was on TV, which reminded me of his lovedly diatribe on hunting:

You townies don't understand our country ways!

Then explain them.

What?

Explain them. Should we take notes, or just think about them in our little townie heads?

Well...erm... if you ban hunting, we'll have to kill all the dogs! Who's cruel now?

Still you. The only way to alienate us sentimental townies further would be to throw a couple of dead horses on the fire.

Oh, we will. Once an animal's no longer useful, the kindest thing to do is look it straight in they eye and put it to sleep.

Right. I can see why the hunting crowd weren't massively mobile in support of the striking miners.

Just a little injection...

My parents have come over for my birthday, and they brought German bread. Graubrot and Schwarzbrot...two types of bread that the Brits never seem to master because a) this bread has a crust and b) this bread has flavour. I am quietly content with a slice of buttered Schwarzbrot and a mug of fennel tea, which they also brought along. Mmm...heaven is good bread.

And they brought along chalk holders! No more chalk dust all over my hands, suit, desk and books. A happy Grey Area is one who can write notes on blackboards with a minimum of chalk dust.

Oh, no. I am also very fucking happy about Jeremy Deller's way overdue win.

A park full of trees dripping with lights, smoldering Yule logs and laughing children and smiling people and the smell of kettle corn. Spinning around in circles under the lights until you get dizzy and fall over laughing in a pile of other people doing the same thing.

Best Yuletide Ever.

I'm so full of the holiday spirit I want to hug everyone I see. I'm going all Bob Cratchitt and I know it's lame but I don't care.

the Nick Griffin/John Tyndall bang-up news.

Holiday spirit 2:
Someone I know went to the Radio 4 recording of Alan Moore interviewing Brian Eno.

Which is joyous in itself, but the real happy is Eno's revelation that he and David Bowie only speak to each other in Pete 'n Dud voices these days.

Eno?

*gurgles*

I’m loving everything I hear about this series. Can’t wait.

But I’ll keep the champers on ice wrt Griffin. I’ll wooT properly when he’s charged. ‘Released without charge’ can too easily be spun as ‘vindicated’ if you’re the leader of a gaggle of slack-jawed morons.

I still hope he has a rotten day of it, of course. Here's hoping for many more to come!

Oh, very true, I'm not popping the champagne yet, but the idea of Griffin and Tyndall spending even a day in a room with six other men and a bucket gives me a warm glooooww
