Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
22:26 / 31.01.08
Forty minutes of work left and then I get to go home and make a nice dinner for myself. Who else is up and here? Who else makes the Barbemembrane *shiver* with their tiny voices?
 
 
Saint Keggers
22:36 / 31.01.08
Im not sure if I make if 'shiver' or 'shudder'.

Hi, Veng.

How's it going? Are you working on a project tonight?
 
 
Saint Keggers

Tonights project will be the season premier of Lost, a bottle of red wine and going through the computer looking for art files to make ready to send as samples of my work.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
22:45 / 31.01.08
Cool. What season is Lost on, anyway? I stopped watching after the first season.

I'm making dinner, then I'm going to read comics and write a thousand or so words for my story, maybe watching Charlie's Angels for its ridiculous campiness.
 
 
Saint Keggers

Third I think. Im not holding out much hope for it though.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Anyone still up? I'm half-way to my goal for words for the night. And I'm eating cake. And I should go to bed.

Eyo. Anybody about?

I'm drinking in commiseration with my ex, who has just lost her job as an indirect consequence of a recent British political scandal. Many people on Barbelith have had a shitty week, so I shall drink for them as well.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:03 / 01.02.08
Me. Four more hours of deadly dull work.
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:16 / 02.02.08
Im having a good week. I bought canvas. Lots and lots of canvas. That Im using for a photography backdrop and then stretching the remainder over frames for painting at a later day.

Accomplice's birthday today. I get to give him fun presents after work.

Until then, it's a solitary brooding agent in the wasteland.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:02 / 02.02.08
Oh no! Not the wasteland! (T.S. Elliot or Stephen King?)
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Eliot, man. Eliot. I'm a Hollow Man.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:10 / 02.02.08
Ah.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:53 / 02.02.08
Indeed.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:57 / 02.02.08
right.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

This Sunday
22:12 / 02.02.08
Hello fine people. Shift with me!

I have finally an evening to myself, as long as I pretend to not know the phone's turned off and the e-mails are coming in whether I look at them or not. It's a nice feeling.

How's things in great crazy Barbe-land?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
22:54 / 02.02.08
About the same as usual. I could do with some time to write tonight, but I'll be busy with other things. Like sushi.
 
 
Liger Null
22:39 / 03.02.08
Making sushi or eating sushi?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:36 / 03.02.08
Yo.

I just went to see Die Krupps (yeah, I didn't know they were still going either)... they were ace. They played Fatherland and I instantly went back in time about fifteen years. It was odd. Drugs helped, I think, but I really enjoyed that.

Sushi? I don't really do sushi. Even vegetarian sushi always seems too fiddly. I'm not really one for food being something that requires effort. Eating is a necessary evil; something I often have to actually remind myself to do. I can forget for days. It's not good.

Now booze, on the other hand...

I tried sushi once and I liked it so much that I ate it for lunch every day for a week. Now the smell of sushi makes me ill.

I was like that with Special Brew. Only for "week" read "year".

Guitar Hero III is an EVIL thing. I only bought the fucker on Friday. Now I have a horribly blistered thumb, and I've torrented TWO Dragonforce albums. I was SO much cooler before I bought that fucking game.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:07 / 04.02.08
I was like that with tequila. After the fourth I really dont mind all that much.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:21 / 05.02.08
Things! Stuff and things and stuff. I have a new project! And now my brain is all happy with the making of things. How is Lith tonight yes/no/happy/sad?

I was having Stoatie envy, so I went to YouTube to see if I could find some Die Krups concert videos. Then it occurred to me, I'd never seen the video for Fatherland.

Now I have.

And now I know that every time I hear that song, I'm going to be wondering what the heck was up with that clown. Seriously, whaa?
 
 
Mirror
03:45 / 05.02.08
And now I see that they have covered Metallica's Enter Sandman, quite badly. Between that and the clown thing, I think I shall never be able to listen to Die Krupps again without cringing.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:29 / 05.02.08
I'm making notes on story stuff. Whee!

I'm home after a dreary short film screening at a local bar -- dreary! It was all French films that might have been interesting if you could see the subtitles over the big-haired heads (or, could speak French more fluently than I do), depressed political pieces and little else -- nothing really possessed much energy. There was a documentary about the secret tunnels under the city, and it had energy and variety of tone, but the sound system was terrible so it lost something, I think. Too bad.

Guitar Hero scares me-- I'm just not musical. It would do little but highlight my flaws.
 
 
Leigh Monster loses its cool
04:32 / 05.02.08
But you don't need musical ability for Guitar Hero! Just fingers!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:26 / 06.02.08
Yay! I get to buy new glasses tomorrow. For the first time in ten years. I'll be able to see clearly again!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:00 / 07.02.08
Hello? Lateshift? Are you there, Lateshift? It's me, Papers.

I have new glasses.

I am full of sushi and chocolate mousse.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:03 / 07.02.08
OMG! Papers! Is that you? Feck, must be the glasses I thought I was sure it was Clark Kent!
