uncle retrospective

23:06 / 30.11.02

Anyone about? I'm stuck in work while the world parties.
Anyone?
What's up?

Strange Machine Vs The Virus with Shoes

23:37 / 30.11.02

Well the original “Cape Fear” is on TV at the moment, I’m recording it, but most Brit posters are either at the good Chairmans party or watching this film (or out in the many dark, depraved and degenerate nightspots of London town).

Mazarine

23:56 / 30.11.02

I'm here, dorking around, working on fanfiction, happy to be home. OD'd on indy films this week- Donnie Darko, Bowling for Columbine, and Six String Samurai. I miss having a little independently owned video store nearby.

00:08 / 01.12.02

That's some damn good movies on that list, it sounds a good enough way to spend your weekend.

The Strobe

00:55 / 01.12.02

I'm up. Have had more exercise than I've had in quite some time, shaking booty to a friend's funk band and their DJ. Who played the most fabulous set. Really. Lots of scratching, lots of booty shaking, and a bit of drink and nattering to mates til now leaves a rather tired Paleface. My bed is calling to me.

Mazarine

01:07 / 01.12.02

Uncle Retro- I think Six String Samurai may be my ideal movie, since I love surf rock, deserts, post apocalyptic themes, and anything involving swords.

Strange Machine Vs The Virus with Shoes

01:08 / 01.12.02

Well I’ve spent the last hour watching “bar wars” on C4. The girls won btw. Well, I’m off to bed, goodnight all.

I've just got in from a party + found out that two of my housemates have decided to be couple-like with each other, and also realised that I have to get up in 4 + 1/2 hrs to sing at mass.

wtf?

The earliest notice I had about this coupley thing was this afternoon -it seems so surreal I just want to laugh. Except I can't. Because that would be rude. But they do seem well suited. I'm just in shock.

What's more I spent the party carefully not watching my ex + his new girl, and instead noticing the huge number of people around me suddenly blossoming into relationships with each other.

Has anyone else noticed that this evening? It seems to be a running theme amongst friends of mine tonight.

The Return Of Rothkoid

03:28 / 01.12.02

Ah, relationships.

Joy.

Sniff. Sigh. Pout.

Baz Auckland

03:59 / 01.12.02

Ah, relationships.

(shudder)

I think it's that time of year or something. Damn wierd weekend relationship wise...

Bear

11:39 / 01.12.02

So who's around right now then? I never get to use this at the weekend but I'm at work today doing an upgrade.

Just been to the market though and bought "The Ring", "28 Days Later" and "8 Mile" for £15 - can't wait to go home now and see if they work!

Oh and I have a hangover - oh and things are happening that are starting to ruin my low self-confidence, if that go's what'll keep me up at night??!

Mourne Kransky

16:32 / 01.12.02

Mmmm, 28 Days Later, hours of scary Brit low-fi zombie pleasure (well, 2 anyway....)

I'm about, in episodic bursts, but making chickenesque soup with all the wrong ingredients from the back of the kitchen cupboards (for when Ganesh gets in - he is also at work on the weekend) and I'm supposed to be emptying the boxes which contain all our earthly treasures and finding a home for each one. But I'm buggered after three days up north of packing, packing and packing, then cleaning and flitting down the motorway. Am now slumped in a heap here.

The contents of a three bedroom Edinburgh flat just will not be squeezed into a one bedroom central London flat. I did manage to retune the video but I'm fucked if I can work out how to tune in the tele.

Well, better go stir my soup and get the living room tidy, at least, before my Lord and Master returns. Happy Sunday night, Bear.

The Return Of Rothkoid

20:31 / 01.12.02

Well, I'm here. I'm at work. I couldn't sleep. Gah.

The Return Of Rothkoid

01:31 / 03.12.02

I'm around. And have just gotten back from my first yoga class in what's well over two years. And I feel alarmingly refreshed and tingly - though I know it's just a precursor to the part where my hamstrings gang up on me and make me pay for trying to stretch them in ways they don't want to go.

They'll learn, dammit. They'll learn.

So yeah. Slightly bendy and clear-headed. Who's about?

The Return Of Rothkoid

01:32 / 03.12.02

Posting straight after myself. That is, I believe, wack.

Baz Auckland

17:59 / 03.12.02

Hey! I just had Cora's pizza for the first time. Damn, that was good!
ok...back to studying... What was the significance of Samuel de Champlain in the history of New France?

Mourne Kransky

18:57 / 03.12.02

He was there on The Night They Invented Champlain?

He was the disgraced surgeon who cut both of Toulouse Lautrecs's legs off by mistake?

But that was Old France, and you're in Canada. He beat back those pesky Hurons with their lovely hairstyles and made New France into Fur City, French Canadia. They named a lake after him. Mind you, they named a lake after the Hurons too. Only fair.

The Return Of Rothkoid

21:24 / 03.12.02

Cora's!

You rock.

What one'd you get?

Tryphena Absent

22:48 / 03.12.02

Hello? Hello? Is anybody there? Is it me you're looking for?

000

22:51 / 03.12.02

Yes. I have been looking all over the place for you, young lady.

telyn

22:51 / 03.12.02

hey bird indeed. yes - highly entertaining dinner. mulled wine mmm....
nauseating housemates no.....

telyn

22:54 / 03.12.02

Of far greater interest:

I am listening to a field recording of a ceilidh lent to me by the ethnomusicology lecturer. I know him because he teaches us african drumming (lots of fun) but one day I took my clarsach along and he decided to lend me tapes as a result.

They sound just lovely - the warmth of the atmosphere is captured just right and the playing is gorgeous. :>

Tryphena Absent

22:58 / 03.12.02

Hello! So pleased to see you here, hope you're well, lalalala. I've been to see that Potter film, oh poor boy, love the phoenix!

Celidh you say, how stupendous!

telyn

22:59 / 03.12.02

absolutely dahling! makes me want to run away and play in pubs for the rest of my life. plan?

Tryphena Absent

23:01 / 03.12.02

Maybe not, maybe you should think about something a little bit erm... lucrative.

Kit-Cat Club

23:02 / 03.12.02

Hello chaps. Wrestling with essay - can't write the damned thing - too much and yet too little source material = fried Kit-Cat brains for breakfast (tomorrow morning, when I have to be lucid for supervision meeting, marvellous). Ceileidh sounds great, but what is a clarsach? (Instrument, but what sort?)

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:05 / 03.12.02

Google says it's a Gaelic harp.

Neat.

I'm listening to The White Stripes and attempting to write snappy sells for a contents page. Woe. And then going in search of the mythical Perfect Trousers.

telyn

23:06 / 03.12.02

umm yes. I think I'd have a day job too. Unless I collected a ridiculous amount of tips.

I get to investigate lots of early repetoire and get friends to play a variety of instruments like a lute and a theoboe to accompany me.

If we were to hypothetically journey in somerset, is there a specific place or would we be off on a magical mystery tour?

Tryphena Absent

23:08 / 03.12.02

Don't you hate it when you play on Amazon/Blackwells/Waterstones and see a really crap kids book that you need to read because you read the others when you were fourteen but you can't bring yourself to buy over the internet even though the shops blatantly won't have it.

Tryphena Absent

23:10 / 03.12.02

Oh sorry that was to me wasn't it? Erm is it Somerset? It could be Wiltshire - anyway I want to go to Chalice Wells if it's open at the moment so I call Glatonbury this weekend.

telyn

23:12 / 03.12.02

You can see what my harp looks like on this page. Scroll to the bottom and it's the one labelled Domine. It's not made by these people - they are damn expensive (worth it) and also miles away from me.

Ardival harps

Kit-Cat Club

23:15 / 03.12.02

Oh, jealous now. I always fancied a crack at one of those. They have them in Hobgoblin on Rathbone Place, I used to go there in my lunch hours and lust after them.

Janina - what's the book?

ONLY NICE THINGS

23:18 / 03.12.02

So, not only do people always get the capital of Canada wriong, they also always get the capital of Quebec wrong as well? Continent of harp-playing gay deceivers...

Tryphena Absent

23:18 / 03.12.02

This is embarrasing - it's by an Australian woman called Isobelle Carmody and it's called 'Ashling'.

Kit-Cat Club

23:26 / 03.12.02

I think I might have heard of her actually - I thought I might have had it and could lend to spare you angst, but sadly not.
