Via Anna, I am apparently only 20% ageing hypocrite, which isn’t bad, given that it appears to be things that have made my life better (and a pension) that I have made myself a hypocrite for. And I’ve been drinking herbal tea (apple and cinnamon) for fucking years. I still dislike olives, stilton and celery, though, so that’s OK.
I’ve been listening to the same album on repeat since it arrived on Tuesday. Not ANGEL PASSAGE, which has been delayed, apparently, but Tanya Donelly’s “LOVESONGS FOR UNDERDOGS”. Much like the lyrics for Lantern, which I quoted a few days ago, the whole thing is big grin music.
God loves me. Roll on April.
Wishing my lfe away, today.
Roll on December. Going to Edinburgh for a few days at the start of the month, for the first time in over a year. Can’t wait.
God, I am so sick of feeling tense. Not stressed, just physically tense, especially across my shoulders and back. I have no idea as to why I’m tense across there, but I’ve been like this for the last few days, and it’s really beginning to get to me. I just can’t seem to relax them. Anyone got any suggestions?
It’s a bright blue sky in November and it’s cold. The sun is shining off the Thames. I’ve just been out in this brilliant, clear air to buy myself an apple, which is just fucking delicious. The CD with this song on it should have arrived at my flat this morning. I love this time of year. It feels like anything could happen.
“Come on what’s-your-name
I’ve got a good game
I’ve got a story
Hope you like ’em gory
And it’s much too late for bed
Come on tiger why so tired
I’ve got good game plus i’ll let you win again
And it’s much too late for bed” – Tanya Donelly, “Lantern”
Good weekend. Brother’s 21st on Saturday. Drunkeness. Sunday – Spitalfields, Princelet Street, Vietnamese food and Jack the Ripper. Loads of fun.
My co-worker has put on a CD he bought in New Zealand, that you don’t seem to able to get in the UK. Frank Bennett is a lounge singer, among other things. His covers of Nick Cave’s “Red Right Hand” and Radiohead’s “Creep” are just mindblowingly fantastic.
Why isn’t there a UK equivalent of Think Geek? I’d spend a fucking fortune there – on Water Joe if nothing else. I’ve been hunting high and low for a product like that – cold, no sugar, caffeine, not carbonated and pleasant tasting (or at least flavourless). Anyone know anywhere I can get it in the UK?
