Watercooler Sub Zero: Ice Capades

Man, I had the nastiest tasting cough mixture in the world, and it still hasn't stopped me coughing. Bah.

(what have you agreed to on the 13th?)

x-post there's a Gooblar gig on the 13th. I think. He's not here to confirm or deny.

I'm really torn. I mean, if it were anything else, I'd obviously go to your birthday. But my only chance on earth to stare at PBW completely unhindered and unembarrassed coz like you're supposed to stare at people who are onstage, it's OK and not creepy or anything... no wait, now that sounds creepy.

OH OH OH but what are you people doing on the 9TH OF JANUARY?

I know! Normally I wouldn't have a clue myself but it's my BIRTHDAY PARTY!

No, no, noooooo... We've already had this out, that I will have just had an operation on mine hand and won't be up to travelling.

Can't you change your birthday?

Probably. You are, after all, a big ol' alkyhellic.

If you're drunk at that time your Mum might have a point...

My mum has discovered my blog and started leaving me comments.

Quit it! It could be worse, I suppose. PBW's mum has a MySpace and leaves him bizarre comments there. That's much more embarrassing.

Now I just know that there's probably a mouthful waiting for me when I get home. But I will say to my mum the same thing I've said to my friends. "If you don't want to find out what I "really" think, then don't read my diary."

Also diaries are all about how you feel in THAT moment and may not be relevant by even the next moment?

B-Dods, it pains me that I met B. Mackenzie about six weeks before he died, at an aftershow for the Cure. A certain moppy-haired singer (who was friendly with me becase I'd had to interview him a few times hence context) passed out the champagne and introductions. BM was chipper, matey and smiley and in no way seemed on the brink of suicide :-(.

My mom be driving me crazy. No big FITE but a lot of passive-aggressive shit about The Liberals, welfare recipients and immigrants combined with how could she POSSIBLY be conservative because she is pro-choice and after universal health care.

Now it's the 21st, I feel like I can start feeling seasonal. Christmas music in the car! "Baby Jesus, born to rock!"

My soundtrack for the trip home last night:
Rolling Stones "Their Satanic Maj"
Blur "Chemical World" single from the boxset (37 mins)
Libertines "What became of the Likely Lads" with the live tracks and a frankly rubbish version of "Don't look back into the sun" recorded by Mick Jones.
Beth Orton : "Comfort of Strangers"

three hours to get home! AAAGRRRGH!

My mother swears up and down it is not her posting on my blog. That it is some other minister mom. Actually, she might have a point, as she is a mum, not a mom.

the Streatham ice rink is great, but that's for another thread.
