The Late Shift II

23:47 / 19.10.02

Gotta love the eurodance. I am currently loving hanging up my washing. Honest.

Hang your dirty laundry at nightime huh!

23:50 / 19.10.02

Well, I put it in before I went to the bar... and really couldn't be arsed to hang it out til I got back. So now it's there. My dryer freaks me out; when it's dark and I unlock the door, it looks like a person hiding in the room.

Well all I have to say to that is:

'late nights
booty calls
SHINY DISCO BALLS'

Top of the evening all, I'm visiting my parents this weekend for my sister's birthday, but now we're not sure if my sister's going to come.

Haus- Barbelith top trumps? Come on, I've had a dull week. Tell us.

00:13 / 20.10.02

Good point. To the new thread, Robin!

00:24 / 20.10.02

Goodnight hugs for KCC. Aw.

I shall look on in trump-induced excitement at new thread.

I've also just had the biggest bacon sandwich...evah.

Mazarine

00:43 / 20.10.02

What else was on the sandwich, Roth? Wait, I have a bacon sandwich, sitting in my car...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:51 / 20.10.02

I'm off. Up stupidly late, considering it was meant to be an early night.

01:23 / 20.10.02

You and me both mate... got back from seeing Motorhead (who rocked) to find that my flatmate, due to noise from downstairs, had gone to stay at a friend's. And had (considerately, and, at my request, I must add) taken my dog with her.
While walking the other flatmate's dog (you keeping up here?) bumped into a friend of mine who'd just come back from the same gig. So I went to his place and got pissed.
Am now home, and attempting (though failing) to pass out.

Mazarine

01:59 / 20.10.02

I'm watching dating shows (specifically "Fifth Wheel") while waiting for Inuyasha to come on, hanging out with my darling one. Turns out my sister will be coming down tomorrow, so a three hour drive wasn't for nothing. Well, it wasn't for nothing anyway. It was for home cooking, and to see my beloved parents, and my beloved cats. I'll be up for a while, don'tcha know.

Papess

04:42 / 20.10.02

I am up, getting myself comfortably numb on mediocre, Chilean wine.

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

05:28 / 20.10.02

*waves at May* I'm up, here at work, trying to think up jokes based on the news...

Anyone else up, since it's late here in the States, or am I the only one cursed to stay up this late on a Saturday without any hooch, sex or even cabel TV?

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

06:04 / 20.10.02

I have so much trouble watching those dating shows it isn't funny, all having to do with my horridly low self-esteem. Here are people who have the bodies of super-models and faces that look stright out of fashion shoots getting called "ugly" and "fat".

If people like that are being cut down for not being attractive enough, what chance does a tubby bitch like me have?

My only consolation is that most of them are dumb as posts, and I could prolly trick them out of their money.

20:44 / 20.10.02

Up. WTF?

20:57 / 20.10.02

About to actually have a proper early night. Tired. Low. And the weather's fucking disgusting, and reflecting my head. Just wish I could get into my work.

Baz Auckland

21:42 / 20.10.02

Up and blocked from online fun by the tragic suicide of my hard drive in the early hours of this morning.

I'm at the uni library now, but I can't stay long. Goddamnit. Why did Mr.Computer Head have to do this? Especially when my essay on the Tao-te Ching was almost done and now I have to stay up all night remembering what I wrote... oh why? why? why?

22:37 / 20.10.02

Up, Drunk. Spent night seeing off SFD to Cornwall. I only hope that she did not spend the entire time wondering "Who are these idiots, and why do I associate with them?"

22:44 / 20.10.02

A couple of weeks ago, before I went abroad to be Best Man for my brother and a well-deserved holiday, I get handed a letter saying I'll probably be made redundant. Tomorrow is my first day back. Today, I tried to log on to my work e-mail. Access denied. So I guess I'm going to work tomorrow just to pick up my notice.

So maybe you'll be seeing me regularly on the late shift soon! :-)

22:46 / 20.10.02

Ignatius - that utterly sucks. Huggles form the London contingent, who are themselves finding this an increasingly common occurrence.

Bah, really. All rather crap.

22:54 / 20.10.02

Thanks, Jennings. I think you're right about it becoming more common.

I had a bloody good time while I was away though!

22:57 / 20.10.02

Mm. Condolences, Ignatius. It is alarmingly common. Maybe the board just doesn't like London. Pout.

Wish I'd been there to see SFD off, and to see everyone else, too. Gah.

Not drunk, Haus, merely wondering when I will be.

23:02 / 20.10.02

Was SFD catching the sleeper train, then?

That's a nice journey. And after you've had time to get into bed, the stewardess puts her head round the door to check you're OK, just like your mum. Very disconcerting really ...

23:03 / 20.10.02

Rothky, the ansewr to the Zen Ko'an is very simple. When you drink beer. When you drink beer, you shall be drunk.

Child's play. Try it today. Try it at work! It's fonny.

23:05 / 20.10.02

Does three pints of Guinness and a large Wild Turkey count?

23:11 / 20.10.02

Ba-boom. More about opportunity than causes, you know. And given it is a Monday morning, not an entirely wise option.

But that bottle of red I drank the other night was fiiiiine. Go Margaret River.

What's we all doing?

23:12 / 20.10.02

Depends on how big the turkey is, and what you did to it...

The tragic thing is, that barely scratches the surface of the average Londin barbething. We really are in trouble.

23:18 / 20.10.02

Well, that's between me and the turkey.

Mm. Red wine. And Barbethings sound like they rock!

23:22 / 20.10.02

Impossible concatenations of booze abd angstm believe me. Put it like this - Flyboy left early.

Flyboy.

Left.

Early.

All very disturbing.

23:34 / 20.10.02

Jesus. Were horses devouring themselves in the stables?

What's going on over there?

23:35 / 20.10.02

And who stayed later than he-who-normally-kicks-on?

23:41 / 20.10.02

Uh...let's see. There or thereabouts at kicking out time were myself, SFD, Meme Buggerer, Bengali in Platforms, Sleazenation, Cherrry Bomb...not a bad turnout. Looking forward to seeing Ierne at the end of the week. So many people seem to have left London lately, it would be nice to welcome one or two to the fold.

Kit-Cat Club

00:00 / 21.10.02

Quondam and Futurus, Haus, you are a Bad Man.

Just checking in after approx. half pint apple juice, chips and cheese (blergh) and the driver being sick on the bus. Marvellous.

00:03 / 21.10.02

Welcome home, although the *driver* throwing up is a little bit special...
