Ha ha, I can call him Fake Britishes now. (Jim, not my cousin.)
Oh, and BTW, I found my green card - it was tucked safely inside my passport so I'm not fake Merkin any more. Well, *legally* fake Merkin.

Shit, I gotta get out of here and get to Kensington. Ah well, at least they're not in the Dorchester this time.

Someone tried to kick one of my car windows in last night. The driver's door window. Whilst I was sat in the driving seat. I hate this town sometimes.
No, I mean all the time.
Kate might be interested to know that one of my goth friend's male friends is ginger, freckled, pointy-nosed, and plays guitar.

Oh no, Ed - gastric flu? You mean maybe it wasn't food poisoning that I had? Rubb.
Bah to car trouble and chav trouble.
This morning I am mainly squabbling with my actual brother about Winter Consumerfest. What funs. He thinks I object to the baby jesus. I'm fine with baby jesus, I just object to the national obsessed with debt and consumerist frenzy. Soon we will be arguing about economics, and I'll call him a Tory and he'll call me the L-word. Hurrah!

Though ha ha, I narrowly avoided being dragged back into the restaurant that started my whole ordeal by St00g3s last night. Ron got me in a TISSP-lock and tried to drag me into the elevator going "come on, Kate! it can't hurt you just to drink up there!" and I was all noooooooooo and ran away down Kensington High Street. :-)

Sorry to hear about people's bodily and automobile troubles etc, but also always happy to read a good pun of a Tuesday morning :)
I seem to have spent more time at the ante-natal clinic than at my house this last week - was measuring a bit small so many scans followed and I might have to be induced early due to low levels of amniotic fluid :(
Will find out what the consultant wants to do this afternoon - I may be a mum in the next few days!! Arrgh!!!!

Yay to power-pop songwriting indeed - I hope it's a keeper, and not one you THINK is great, but you'll look at this evening and go "nah, it's nonsense".
I've been whistling "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" all morning. I realise now that I'm part of the problem rather than the solution.

The car is going up on the ramp this afternoon to see what's wrong with it. Best case = the oil feed pipe for the turbocharger has come loose, most likely scenario = an oil seal needs to be replaced (an engine-out job) worst case = engine block has a crack in it (which might = my mother in law threw 10,000 pounds down the drain back in february)

I never get to talk about songwriting with anyone, and I miss it!
I know a lot of people who talk or write about music quite seriously (obviously) but they tend to be music *critics* not musicians. So they're coming at it from a different descriptive angle.
Too many of the musicians I've known don't *like* to talk about their own creative processes - perhaps for fear that if they understand them too closely, they will lose whatever magic makes it happen.
And this is so backwards to the methods that I absorbed (through osmosis obviously, as I never went to classes) in art school.

1) I'll be allowed to wear my contact lenses again (off them for another month, stay with serious eyedrops for another week, eyes not weeping now but still don't want to look back into the sunn, now they know that the time has etc)..
2) The return to actually writing and recording songs! my god it's actually going on! I got up the courage to listen to the very WIP version of the first song (blocking guitar, bass, drum track) and it's not as bad as I remembered, the news that the 'producer' has been working on it adding atmos and sdrawcabs drums etc, and I sent back a short list w/ precis of other songs existing only in my febrile.
