flat out, flat broke and wanting to get back chasing the lulz
Thank god it’s the weekend, though this one looks like it is going to be low key - for a start Loulou is at Uni all day today so I am free - though I am looking forward to a few beers afterwards when I meet her and perhaps a meal out somewhere. We have not had much quality time together lately since she went back up north to see her parents and ( Read more... ) -
The Fisher King, grumpy Sunday revelations and a free weekend
The Fisher King was charged by God with guarding the Holy Grail, but later incurred some form of incapacitating physical punishment for his sin of pride, and had to wait for someone to deliver him from his suffering. A simpleminded knight named Percival ("The Fool") healed the wounds with kindness to the king, asking him why he suffers and giving ( Read more... ) -
That was the week that was
Been a bit of an odd week, on Wednesday we met up with an old friend to watch the football before going back to ours for food and beer, however on the way back with our takeaway there was a bit of a row over a misunderstanding and well, it was almost like he chose to get offended. He then didn't want to come in but after an awkward pause on the ( Read more... ) -
Moving forward without moving backwards
Well its been all change here, I recently got a new job which is brilliant. It is just a temp role and bizarrely it is in the same building that i worked in 5 years ago which is a little strange and has given me an odd feeling of moving back in time. I am still adjusting to it but its the first job that I have ever had in London that is relatively ( Read more... ) -
Being human
There was an excellent interview in the Guardian on Saturday that really got me thinking. It was with the historian Tony Judt who is suffering from Motor neurone disease which has him quadriplegic and has forced him to think about what it really means to be human as he is effectively, as the tag line says ‘Just a bunch of dead muscles thinking ( Read more... ) -
New Year and my cats in photos
I know I said I would be posting more regularly in my last entry, and then declined to post a follow up, still I will be mainstream and do the whole 'it's a new year, lets make a new start'. I have quite a bit to blog about as it happens but I said in my last entry I would post pictures of my cats so here they are. I can't beleive I have not posted ( Read more... ) -
Is this where I came in?
Well it’s been a while, missed me?
There are various reasons why I stopped coming here, from the great and the good etc, but also laziness and a lack of direction and interested probably explain it better.
OK lets do a brief summary of what has happened, some things I may expand on in future posts;
Art Deco picnics, a few parties, losing my job ( Read more... ) -
Vauxhall, the weekend and feminism
Well survived the weekend - surprisingly well actually I almost feel cheated. I will spare you all the details of healthy eating and keeping fit because it becomes so tedious and self congratulatory and you all know its more my cup of tea to be self loathing instead ;)
Had a good time on Friday - on the tube down to Vauxhall, Bryan Paddick came ( Read more... ) -
You want working on boy
I planned to update this last week but it was a bit manic. At the last minute on Tuesday Alex invited us out for drinks with his friend Otto - as we keep cancelling him and blew him out when he invited us sailing I said we should go. Glad we did, we met up for drinks in Soho before decided to going to my personal Nirvana - Bodeans on Poland Street ( Read more... ) -
Parents & the North
Just got back from my trip up north to see my parents. I was surprised how quickly it went actually though I did fit a lot in. As soon as the train pulled into Piccadilly on the Monday afternoon I met my dad for lunch and then went to the dentist for a filling directly afterwards. This was surprisingly quick and I was out within ten minutes, I ( Read more... )
