Mashed potato and onions.
And so the weekend that was:
Friday was spent dashing homeward and getting ready in a surprisingly leisurly manner. Once rivetmike had put the finishing touches to his set [and I could stop having a boogie] we made some inroads on the Voddy we had chilled in the fridge :)
We got the Egg around 12.00ish with the homies flux_omega and scarlet_hel and went straight to see dissonaz set about giving him 'mad props' in the form of a dance stylee :) After some banter with bleeptastic eketar ebmgothicgirlie and more [damn my dysfunctional brain] it was soon time to mosey on upstairs for rivetmike set [see his LJ for details ;)] I thought this week Chico was especially 'doin' it' I have thought his previous sets were wikkid but the flow seems to be getting better and he's even getting a bit of mixing in. All that technical stuff takes practice but he's got the most important part - what to play. It's great to look about and see other folks dancing too. Got to chat to dissonaz on Japanese stuffs which was cool as always. The two hour set flew by despite my feet starting to hurt and it was time to grab some beverages *cheers* and then get ourselves in the garden fo some chillaxin before heading homeward.
We grabbed a cab and spirits were high - we *may* also have been a little drunkard :) :) The cabbie let Mike whack on a CD - T Raumschmiere [sp] and me and Mike [me badly out of tune] sang along :) The cabbie was pretty cool and put up with our screeching - smiling a little and asking us if we always sang that badly ;) He even kept smiling when I told him to 'sing along' and 'liven up sunshine' Heh heh.
We soon got back to casa del Hel, greeted by Gabs :) And me and Chico soon made ourselves a cosy nest of beanbags and duvets and settled down to watch [in no particular order]:
Collection of different vids
Serenity : A sci-fi cowboy film where a brother saves his sister from the 'Alliance'. She is a psychic/killing machine and they go about saving the world. A brilliant film.
Saw II : We weren't sure about this as a sequel but it is def worth a watch. Has just as many twists as the first. We enjoyed this one and wondering if we were in there place could we so what was expected of them to save our lives? The first scene *SPOLILER****
Could you gouge out your eye to get a key to unlock the metal teeth around your head? Your eye or your life?
rubbish [with man from scrubs] : We *thought* this could turn either way and were hoping for good. It was the most EMO film I have ever seen. My brain has blanked out the title though.
Cowboy beebop : Anime of a cowboy in space. Wikkidness
Chappelles [both discs] http://www.comedycentral.com/comedians/browse/c/dave_chappelle.jhtml : Comedy show where Dave Chappelle does crazy video clips. The most funny programme I have seen. We ended up watching both discs - check it!
Conspirators of pleasure : More from jan.
Hokaido : Japanese film. flux_omega summed it up perfectly - "Robots fighting - ever thought they could turn it into Emo gayness? Here you go". It's true, funny dubbed.
After a brief "we should make our way back before realising it was actually only Saturday and we didn't have to go work the next day, we stayed for more watching and left around 2am saturday. We walked to the shop for some fizzy pop and stumbled into some ... strangness. I am sure it wasn't us being 'fucked' because there just seemed to be russian gangsters EVERYWHERE! We were a tad worried about getting acosted and just as our cab showed one such bloke asked "where are you going. I know you are going home but where?" Hmmmm None for you. Very strange. Included seeing a bunch of bouncer types [in russian accents] outside BHS. ????
We gots home nice and safe and into bed. Lots of sleep for us rising at 3pm for some toast and then a stir fry before crashing out about 9.00. This morning was pretty tough to get up but ah well.
Thank you to rivetmike for making me dance lots and for a spanky weekend. flux_omega and scarlet_hel for the camels, having us over for most of the weekend :) and for a brilliant weekend :D Had mucho fun as usual :D
Damn we forgot to play mini olympics!!!
This week is a four day week, only I have dentist friday. Hopefully he will do sommat for me as I am starting to get toothache in other teeth now. I'm not as nervous as I was before but it could be because I am forcing it to the back of my mind. Mike will be with me so I should be ok. Got two knock-backs from applications so far :( With one to go [hopefully an interview. Must check out some other sites this week and apply for some more. Not long until WGT so must get arse in gear.
Good luck flux_omega and see you tomorrow!
That's all for me - over and out amigos.
