China Mieville's a man?!?
Woah.
I slept for about 15 hours last night. It was wonderful. This was all because I (practically) got sent home early from Editing because I was sick. Of course, what do I do tonight? I stay out until after 11 and have to catch one of the last trains home. Of course. I'm so clever.
Because it's now technically Thursday, the new Wackiness is up! I'm so disproportionately excited.
Went out (as alluded to earlier) with Jess (friend from Prof Writing), Cam (ditto), Jess O (other Jess, the one I don't refer to constantly, who is in Novel and also does Vis Ink) and Cam's flatmate ("We are NOT sleeping together. No really." --Cam). Cam's flatmate, Anita, and I discovered a mutual love of Red vs Blue, and spent a short while quoting it at each other. I almost broke her with laughter. Go me! The others just looked on with bemusement.
We'd gone to see this collection of short snippets from plays, of which Cam's was one. The acting in most was awful, but some were ok. The final skit was fanfuckingtastic, and included a camp German in lederhosen who mispronounced some words in a way which reminded me of Prince Ludwig, a hunter in a pith helmet who was very Pythonesque, and two gay boys. It was hysterical. Later we went to Bunker, and Cam and Anita entertained us with amusing tales of Cam's sexual exploits.
So yeah. That was my day. How was yours?

I so rarely get comments re: Wackiness, so it's hard to know when people read it...

I need: photoshop, a digital camera (that doesn't suck), a webcam, the computer to not have anything on it except my own stuff, a scanner aaaaaaaaaaaand...I think I'll be happy technologically speaking.
Wah. It's so hard to want to save money instead of wanting to spend it!

Date: 2004-05-05 05:47 pm (UTC)Btw, concerning Wackiness, that Flintlock Hoodie... Is that an actual item one can get out there, or is it something from your creative side?
no subject
Date: 2004-05-05 08:07 pm (UTC)It's something from my creative side, I'm afraid. Because I've always wanted a band, I've thought about names during idle moments, and I decided "Flintlock" was an awesome name for a band. Googled it a short while ago and found out that some shithouse C&W band from the states have already stolen the name. Bastards.
So the hoodie is a piece of merchandise that could have been. ;)

Date: 2004-05-10 03:24 am (UTC)I've been looking for Thackeray's for ages. I have never yet seen it in a bookshop. Maybe when I get a job again I'll order it in...
