Life the universe and me

Is this thing still on?

Hmm wonder if I should start sharing my thoughts with the World again?

I am ever so slightly hungover today

For yesterday was [:SITD:] and VNV Nation at The Academy. Which did blow me away and saw me dancing like a loon and grinning all night and has continued today. What a way to lose my bleep gig cherry :)

The atmosphere was fantastic, both bands were amazing and I did shake my glowsticks like a glowy beast.
The afterparty at Slimes was also very enjoyable with much of dancing and watching Shaun of the Dead :D

I've finally discovered where some of the pretty alt boys have been hiding. There was much of shiny and prettyness on display last night :D It did feel strange to go clubbing without corsetry/latex/shiny on

Waves to w_i_l and thinlizard - twas cool to meet you guys (and everyone else who's name escapes me currently)

invadergaz also didn't manage to break any of my glowsticks

Top way to end the weekend.

Well that was fun. Shame my head isn't entirely in agreement this morning

Went into Parliament last night to catch up with some mates and to drink the bar dry. Which we had a damn good go at!

As you would expect in such surroundings the conversation was of a high standard and included the proliferance of deaf mute prostitutes in Tallin, one of our MP's being interviewed by Chris Moyles about man boobs, memories of Glasto (apparently it wasn't the same without me this year :) and much much much music. Tickets for Sunday's gig have duly been distributed and Steve has been instructed to find a suitable pub for pre gig goodness

I also managed in my somewhat inebriated state last night to reprogramme every channel on my tv while attempting to set the alarm on my phone. I was quite impressed with this as I have absolutely no idea how I did it. Oh the wonders of House of Commons Vodka!

We lost our black labrador Katie this morning.

Pinkshifter is sad and tired and hungover.

My Kendal mint cake has now made it up many mountains and down ludicrous crevasses only to be brutally dismembered and devoured in a storm in Pisac involving wild dogs, falling roof tiles and Tishy in his pants and boots.

I give good presents :D

Another one of those days where I'm proud of what I do for a living. Now if we could somehow persuade the myriad assortment of camera crews/American tourists to sod off of College Green all would be well.

Saturday I did mainly mong, check up on the casualties from the night before and prepare for the evenings excursion to the Pit in Richmond. Upon arriving I ran straight into ravensloft who was dressed as a rather splendid viking with shield, shiny helmet, big sword and chainmail suit. The best thing about the outfit though had to be the white furry boots which glowed like a bastard under the uv light. Kind of a cross between Asterix and Barbie really. Danced a fair bit, drink an even fairer bit and admired the fantastic outfits. The guy who came as Willy Wonka was particularly impressive although we came to the conclusion that he probably didn't look as spookily like Johnny Depp without the hat and wig. The Pit cherry has now been well and truly lost. Thanks hugely to the lovely boocreep for taking me.

Sunday saw the hunt for even more music to add to the collection of doom which was successful although I have yet to find a shop with the HHGTTG soundtrack in. Shall admit defeat and order it online methinks


Last night saw myself and the lovely darkestinsanity and uvpaladin at Inferno at the Ballroom. Again much of drinking and dancing was done. Bumped into drippingfist who was looking rather smart as usual. Gumby would have been proud of me as I spent an inordinate amount of time in the room of much hair and much much cheap metal. Unfortunately I now have Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row stuck firmly in my brain.

Home at around 5 and off to work at 8. Sorted!

I have finally chased the hangover away with a pointy stick which appears to have worked :)

Last night was one of the best nights I'd had out in a long time. Gumby met me from work and we went in search of pie (which obviously turned out to be an excuse for him to purchase copious quantities of lard) Started on the drinking about 6pm and we were shortly joined by lovely peoples on the duest for drunkenness. As usual the conversation was of a high intellectual standard. Topics up for discussion included the problem of getting an erection on a bus (for which there are apparently many solutions), that Siv allegedly has a tongue like Gene Simmonds and the joys of bitch tits (which Siv also has)

Due to much vodka and the obligatory shots of sambuca I was somewhat hammered by the time we made it to the Ballroom. It looked really fantastic decked out with all the Halloween skulls and pumpkins and lights etc. T'was rammed in there and many people were wearing fantastic costumes. I also found several lovely pirates :)

Various peoples got up to the naughties. Not saying who though :) If you weren't there then you'll just have to find out later. You may well be surprised though.

Was kept entertained by Andrew and Dan and subsequently Private Eye on the way home which meant I didn't wake up en route to the bus depot as in last week. Bonus

A truly fantastic night

Incidentally I appear to have come home with a cardboard skeleton arm

Does anyone have the Johnny Cash version of Hurt by NiN that they could email me please.
