Watercooler 0: Nothing Is A Problem For Me

Thanks k, should have checked your blog first anyway really! I do hope some kind soul puts your breakfast TV appearance on a video content hosting site like say, ooh, YouTube. Not that I wouldn't get up in time to watch it on the real telly, of course. If I had one.

Yeah, it's not like I have one, either! It was quite funny, bandmates gossipping about various presenters with the crew, and I didn't have a clue who any of them were! Oh dear.

now I'm going to waste the rest of the afternoon on this minipops quiz. I thought I was doing terribly with 62 out of 95, but apparently no one in my office has got over 20!

Ha ha, it's really been bugging me, what the b-side of the new TSM single sounds like. That riff... it's just *so* familiar. Early 80s synth tune.

I thought it was Talk Talk or Howard Jones but I was walking around the office singing it, and one of my colleagues is all "why are you singing Nik Kershaw?" God, it's almost exact.

Have you ever tried one of these:

This is the pedal I fancy most at the moment.

I've never tried one, but I've seen them. Pretty!

Everyone gone home?

I'm about to go down the pub.

Hurry up harry.

what's the bbc filming for? some bbc breakfast feature about what exactly? is it actually Breakfast, the thing from 6 to 9 every morning?

give me a shout closer to the actual date (ie in a week) and i'll set the video...

Oh boy, is the interwebs still broken?

I am slightly hungover this morning. I cannot BELIEVE we really drank all that brandy on the walk yesterday. But I feel good. Yeah.

Apart from that, spent the weekend getting ready and doing preparation, writing sequencer tracks and the like for my SOLO SHOW!!! I am quite scared excited.

Also, I want a pig. Piglets are the cutest thing on earth ever. Next time someone calls me a pig, I am going to be hugely complimented.

Thehold! At least there's this.

I can not wake up this morning. I would ordinarily be excited to teach Twelfth Night, but as it is, I'll be happy if I can string a couple of sentences together.

I, too, am having trouble staying awake. Even though I slept really well last night.

Bah, proper rehearsal as well tonight. In a studio. Which I don't feel particularly ready for. :-(

Still, that's something to look forward to/wake up for.

Hello everyone! I am tired too. Today must be Sleepy Monday, I expect the moon is aligned all wrong or something.

You sound a bit happier today, Kate. :)

Yeah, I am a bit happier, CJ, thanks!

I didn't go to sunno))) in the end on Friday night, I sold my ticket (took me forever, which was not fun with a bad back) and went home and did some stretching from the yoga book and just chilled out and relaxed, which was really what I needed.

Also, Hawkwind just friended *me* on MySpace! Heh! "You list as an influence, so please be our friend" - excellent.

Hawkwind still exists?

They're probably really healthy because their silver machine is antiseptically clean.

I think there are actually two Hawkwinds going... ;-)

I'm very tempted to leave them a note saying "MySpace is deep... thanks for the add" but I'm sure they get that all the time.

made a daft choice of staying up till 3 last night to watch a crap film Eaten Alive

I awoke at exactly the time i was supposed to get up, which means i had no lazy-lie-in-clock-gazing time. drat.

Hello there. Shall I bother reposting what I've been up to from the last.fm watercooler thread, or shall I just grin a lot?

It's up to you...

I've just realised that my legs are sore. I didn't feel the walk yesterday, but today I'm a bit, err, strained.

I watched the really really crap Prime Suspect, then meant to watch the South Bank Show's thing on Spamalot, but fell asleep before it started. Then I woke up again at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep properly :(

Good weekend for you then I gather, FP?? :))) Repost it! I need a smile today.

The main bits are:

It's weird how, you can chat to someone for a couple of weeks; you can meet them; and within a few hours of meeting them, you both feel that you're so right together, it feels as if you've always been with each other.

We're both a bit scared how quickly it just feels "right"

In other news, my ex just texted me to ask me how my weekend went. She was subtly trying to find out what was going on - let me know she'd heard I'd been away for the weekend - and has now just come out and said "what's the deal with you and ______"?

hello all. G00blar, you were great on Friday.

Yes we did drink 3 half bottles of brandy and 4 pints of Ale (OK 3 pints of Ale and 1 half litre of lager in my case) a piece and walk about 10 miles up a hill.

And I ordered a troubadour octave mandola this morning, a chromatic tuner and a book on how to play it by a guy called Simon Mayor who used to play childrens folk concerts. in the foyer of the barbican, with his partner Hillary Jones, when I was small and he was very good. I'm quite excited about learning from his book.

Ooh, that sounds like a good choice. Pictures?

I only had two pints of ale and a little bottle of wine, tho. But way too much brandy. Way too much.

Heh heh, oh dear...

Whilst googling I found these bonkers instruments:

Sunn o)) was great. Fantastic. Awesome.

Bah. I'm glad you had a good time. I just went and stood in the queue for about five minutes, and my back started spasming so bad, I knew there was no way I was going to enjoy the evening. Not fair. :-(

The vibrations from the sound would've helped your back no end. You should've asked if you could lie down at the side of the stage or something hehe.
They had the mega rare 2nd press of the white box set at the London gig, but they only had 10 copies and they all sold so none left at glasgow. It has 2 extras in it, live white(mega rare) and the Candlewolf peel sessions 12" but on red vinyl this time(new press) But it was £100 apparently. I did however get the live white on its own at the glasgow gig for £30 so I was quite happy as I already have an original candlewolf 12".
This time all the shirts and hoodies weren't sold out but all I had the money for was the live white so oh well. I'll get a hoodie and a shirt another time.

Check your email kate.

Yay, I got to read Emsk's MySingleFriend profile for me, and I was really worried because she said yesterday "it wasn't all sweetness and light" but I've read it and it's perfect. *I* would want to meet the person she describes, and you all know how much I hate myself.

I feel genuinely tired an rubbish today. I curse the brandy.

Green tea is doing its best to restore me. I have a long day and a long night ahead of me, I have no time for brandy hangover befuddlement.

...and I'm listening to sea shanties and wishing I had AN BOAT.

I am listening to http://www.last.fm/user/trailofgybe/

I'm not sure if I'm inspiring enough awe in my students: I asked them today how many had read Twelfth Night all the way through for class (like they were supposed to). 3 hands went up, out of 23. There's no way I would have admitted that to a teacher (in that small of a class) as a first year.

You need to wear Kates new boots and put some fear into them.

Ack! Here eeryone is. Been in withdrawal today.

Hello Mitya. How are you?

Oh, why does this whole process take so long? Boywiththeboat and the hottphotog will be snapped up by the time my profile actually gets approved and goes online...

Why am I *doing* this anyway? I'm only getting my hopes up for nothing. I guess I'm just so *bored* without ILX.

Morning. I am sleepy.

Good evening, Ned.

I am now throwing soup at my hangover.

Yum! Soup!

mMmm, pumpkin soup, it was nummy. And now I want some more of it. But I have none left. Bah.

I am also wondering if it was such a good idea putting on such a saucy picture. But I wanted to use a photo where I was actually smiling, and the really eye-catching cleavage one is the only one I have where I'm smiling.
