New Years Resolution - remember to write down everything that is funny
I have neglected to produce The List of Christmas Joy this year, it must be done whilst the presents are freshly unwrapped and arranged in a gloat-friendly manner, but now they are all scattered throughout the house and there is little chance I will remember them all, but I shall try, because that's what tradition means ( Read more... ) -
parisian adventures mark 2
So Fran and I returned to Paris in an attempt to recapture our glimmering youth, except this time we would document it and remember it goddammit. We would see Parisian things, not just sit drunk and disorderly playing Uno with some Italians in our hostel basement. Taking advantage of my slightly damaged but not altogether obliterated memory cells ( Read more... ) -
Fran McDonald: genuinely thinks 'Paparazzi' by Lady Gaga is awesome.
I am so bored it feels like someone has squeezed cold liquid metal into my brain that has solidified into a heavy block of DULL. Today I have mostly: repeat youtubed Florence and The Machine because I am too poor to afford a bus ticket to my local record store let alone the actual album itself, watched all of the Glastonbury BBC3 coverage in an ( Read more... ) -
we're making a little history baby, everytime you come around..
I think it bodes well that in order to begin my Glastonbury Festival Coverage '09, props are required. Namely, the Bag of Mud and Quotes, and the bands schedule. Schedule imperative seeing as all has blurred together, the only distinctions come when I think of the headline acts: Neil Young - me passed out on a hill, Bruce Springsteen - me ( Read more... ) -
just one more thing..
oh and I graduated from Oxford in a stupid gown, watched burlesque in a ridiculously posh hotel in Kensington where a bottle of house red cost £20, drank sailor jerry's and danced in the garden with my hands covered in burger meat, overquoted "I'm a classically trained actor!", got drunk with Granta and left a bag of books in a pub, cooked risotto ( Read more... ) -
I'm 24% sure this about covers it..
It is hard now, sunbathing on plush cushions in the dry Cheshire sun, sipping a cold orange juice and plaiting my recently washed hair, to remember that just a couple of days ago I emerged from London an absolute wreck of disgustingness. It's always a sign of a good month away from home when you turn up on the doorstep barefoot clutching broken and ( Read more... ) -
I do as I am told..
"I'm drowning in footwear"
When you see this, post another Buffy quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on. -

"that was Star Trek! That wasn't even us!"
Outside is very yellow and green, and I feel pretty sick, and so the fact that it is Easter does not surprise me. My parents foolishly went away for four days and left me in charge of the house, and the entire contents of the attic strewn across four bedrooms (we are 'cleaning it out', which based on recent happenings I have taken to mean 'taken ( Read more... ) -
"the hair is a mistake, I'll give you that" a fan comments on Conor Oberst's new video
Home again, naturally. Two weeks in London passed furiously and perfectly. Sofa-hopping is apparently archaic, everyone has spare beds or big luxurious double beds that you can both sleep in without being aware you are sharing. Things I'm going to want to remember ( Read more... )
