Kings of Leon - Be Somebody |
] |
Look at the poor editing on it at this time of writing. (Hopefully by the next time you check it it'll look OK. I need someone to help me with coding I think. n3rds help. My DIY ethic does not stretch beyond music and washing up.
So I had a great Xmas.
I did go back home to "Huthwaite".
Its a little village in Nottinghamshire for all of you who understandly have never heard of it.
My other half went home to her home too. Which is Tottenham, London.
We both seem to have had happy christmases.
I have a little feud with my Dad at the moment though. Currently, I'm not talking to him. He keeps coming up with half hearted excuses to not sign my Guarantor form for the house I'm living in Manchester. Until it gets signed, our bitchy ex housemate Lauren will not get her precious deposit back! So as you can imagine, she's struggling living in her new dream adobe in The Northern Quarter. Which is a retro-shop-loving indie-artsy part of town. She needs a bit of money to put towards her rent I should imagine as her and her boyfriend do not have a job like me and Lou do.
So anyway, she needs her deposit and homes4u (our landloard's property agency) won't give it to her unless I get my Guarantor signed.
My Dad refuses to because he obviously thinks of the worse case scenario, which is me not being able to work (he has come up with things like "what if you get ill", "what if you lose your job" etc etc... And my answer would be to move back home. Stop having to pay rent. But those things are a slim chance of happening. I will not lose my job in a really busy cinema, and if I got that ill I had to stop working. I'd definately not be living in a house - I'd be living back home - inevitably scrounging off my Dad. THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THOUGH! Fat chance.
So thanks Dad for not acknowledging I have a more secure payout each month than him (he's a self employed engineer who's business is suffering).
I hope he is feeling bad right now. Which is a horrible thing to say, but he in my eyes, and in Lou's eyes - is not being a very responsible parent. I'm still a student and therefore I am still dependable in the eyes of a property agency. He has a mortgage. I DONT KNOW WHAT HIS PROBLEM IS!!!!
I would love to be writing about a creative endeavor instead of this but that doesn't seem to be possible at a time so uninspiring.
I wish I was in Manchester with Lou and Pumpkin now.

| Well Done To Obama on the Day he Became President + More |
[05 Nov 2008|02:30pm] |
Obamarama Indeed today. I was walking through town, I got handed a copy of today's Manchester Evening News + a free Nutri Grain Oat Cookie with it too. Sp before I had even read the news, I was in a good mood! Then I looked on the front cover and it was Obama with his hands in the air, with a really happy smile on his face celebrating victory. I am really glad we won't have a Hillbilly running the most powerful country on this earth.
In other news, this weekend was pretty terrible. Lou went home to see her family in London for her birthday. I was so ill, so its kinda good that she was away. The amount of Covonia/Honey & Lemon I got through must have been pretty huge. The weather was bitingly cold. I ended up having Friday off work, but went in and struggled on regardless on Saturday and Sunday. I think I did a pretty good job considering. So I spent Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday alone after like 120 days of sleeping next to Lou! It wasn't very nice. I was watching way too much 4oD for comfort. Half of it pretty shit too. I recall watching YouTube videos of Morrissey Interviews, lots of Stewart Lee standup clips and just generally not doing much productive stuff.
So Lou is now back. She got back on her Birthday which was ace. I got to give her stuff to her, and snuggle up again which was nice. I'd perked up a bit on the ill front too. We have had a lot of money issues to stress about so unfortunately I didn't get to buy her lots of lovely stuff that I would have done if I had the money. If only Lauren had moved out earlier I would have more money, LONG STORY.
Joe came around last night, he loves Ubuntu operating system. He shown me a game/graphics engine called Blender which looked really complexed when I was playing around with it last night. Speaking of programs I have been using Max/MSP which is pretty crazy. I'm using it for my course to make some Games music patches. Its pretty interesting. Apparently Radiohead & Daft Punk even use it so it must be pretty great. I'll hopefully become a bit of a pro at it soon. If I have the patience.
Lou's just gone to work and I'm in the MMU refectory waiting to go to my work. I'll be on the Box Office for the first time tonight. Hopefully it wont be too busy with it being Bonfire Night.
More later. x

| A job, my third year at University (Lou's second) & life in Manchester. |
[17 Sep 2008|11:31pm] |
Two Saturdays ago I started training to work at Odeon like Lou has been doing for a while now. It went like this.
We went to an Odeon recruitment day together ages ago at the Printworks Odeon in the city centre. It has the largest screen in Europe and also a pretty awesome IMAX. Printworks is like a little complex of mainly bars, restauraunts and an Odeon cinema. It has a Wagamamas and there food is pretty cool. Anyway, tangents aside, we went to the Odeon there and we got to asked on the spot as part of the application process, to Introduce a film hypothetically as if you were standing in front of the audience around a group of about 8 people. Lou is a quick thinker and did well on the spot. I however, am not the quickest of thinkers and can get lost in thinking too easily. So I think I've got it nailed and then I stutter on the spot. Which I never normally do. So Lou eventually gets the job that day and I don't. Which was gutting.
However, a few weeks later, there is a Recruitment day at The Trafford Centre's Odeon... I knew what to expect after my failure to pass the last time. So I just delivered on the day and I got the job there and then.
So now we both have jobs that offer us Unlimited free passes to the cinema. Some highlights of the free films we have seen already have been: Somer's Town, Step Brothers The Wackness, The Dark Knight, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, Pineapple Express (twice), You Don't Mess With The Zohan (OK, so you think its shit but it was funny especially with Houmous being so included in the whole thing haha). Other not so great films (in my opinion) have been The Women & Mamma Mia. OK so the Women I kinda liked. But don't tell anyone. So anyway my point is, we get a lot of free big screen action. We've both met some lovely people, and our jobs are greatly flexible which is good as we start Uni this week.
My third year at Leeds Metropolitan University starts tomorrow. Lou's second year at Manchester Metropolitan University starts soon too. We are going to be very busy this year I can tell. Working and working and some more working. However, Freshers week is soon and I think we will be out and about in town that week.
Housemates Liam & Lauren move in this weekend. Liam on the Friday , Lauren on the Sunday. I happen to know them both already and Its going to be cool getting to know them more. Lauren is thinking of having a housewarming but I don't see any arrangements, and being as me and Lou are working like we are, I doubt we can find the time to organize one either. Saying this, I've been invited to a workmates housewarming and this should be cool.
The downsides of life at the minute are the waiting for my first pay which happens to miss the September pay date due to "Cutoff dates", and I will be recieving it on the 23rd October. I do get my Student Loan come through apparently a week after I sign my first register at Uni. So I guess once thats done it wont be so bad.
It will be interesting to meet my new classmates as I had a year out and this means a lot of the people will be new to me. However, I think some people may be resitting their last year! I just have a feeling.
Lou is at work as I'm writing this and will get in at around half past midnight or something like that. We will both be ready for bed, and its going to be sweet. Tomorrow morning I have to be up early for enrolling at Uni and it will be weird being up so early and travelling to step foot in Leeds again. The last time I stepped foot in Leeds I was chronically drunk on brandy. It was the night of that big fight night. Khan and Ricky Hatten. Two different fights... and I remember drinking a whole bottle of Courvousier at a houseparty, and waking up with only one Nike Dunk on my feet, and being told I'd been in a big fight in the street. Oh god that was a low point. NEVER DRINK BRANDY UNLESS YOUR WITH YOUR TRUE FRIENDS. Infact don't drink Brandy ever.
So when I am in Leeds tomorrow it'll be a positive step towards the Uni doors. (Caedmon G12 to be precise to the room) and sign those pieces of paper that mean I'm one step closer to getting my degree :)
*Lou interrupted my bloggings on the phone - she is coming home from Work now*
But yeah that is life at the moment. Not very fun and creative or anything - but if you knew how it was living with someone you love - you'd understand this is fun and everything you'd want it to be - and I'm enjoying life. Even if in writing it doesn't seem so thrilling.

I write about Lou a helluva lot here, and its no suprise that this entry is also about her. I just wanted to say as a reminder how much I am in love with this young lady.
She needs to know that I appreciate her so much. I am in awe when I look at her, and I know she is the one I want to spend my every day with her. Every week. I'd narrow it down to minutes and seconds but you know the dialogue might be stolen for use in a cheesy romantic comedy!
I looked in my bag today to get out all my weekend stuff and there they were. two pre-packed packets of tissues. Both had been given to me by Lou on my travels home for the last two weeks and I just found it so cute. See I'm finding the littlest things sweet like the big girl's blouse I am.
My job is shit at the minute. Because I know I am leaving and everyone else is all serious, on the ball and career minded. The ones that don't posess those characteristics are just not my kind of people. All kinda caught up in their little lives, but nothing of interest to me.
Excited is me though. This summer I am moving in with Lou. First, back to her home-home in London and then July into Manchester where I'll be finding a job for the remainder of Summer and then my third year at Uni in Leeds starts in September, but I'll be living with Lou and commuting there instead :) The plan is we will be living with Lauren and/or Kim and/or Liam. Which would be sweet cos then Lou gets the best of both worlds and the bills will be shared and it'll all be sweet if all goes to Plan. I must say I am really excited about livign with Lou. So much of my time is spent either living with lou now, or craving lou when Im not living with Lou, so it'll be wonderful to be with her always.
When Im not with her, I do find myself feeling half as good as usual. I write long LJ's like this to remind me of how wonderful it is. And I need her. I cannot stress how much I need Lou. Im so damn needy and I moan for her, and I can just hope that it doesn't annoy her because I am so in love.
I love my fiance. I love how when I look at her I know she's the one I want to spend the rest of my days with. Cheesy but oh so true.
I hope tonight I can sleep early and dream nice dreams while we're away from each other. The past two nights I've slept badly. I think its cos I miss her so much. Eee, I am ever the big girls blouse when I write about my lady :) But I do not apologise :D if you had everything I had, you'd be like this too, probably :)

| Me and Lou |
[22 Apr 2008|12:15am] |
We are engaged, being as we are that committed and are 100 percent devoted.
A couple of weeks ago we discussed it, and after a few times of us saying "marry me" off the top of our dreamy heads we decided we wanna do the official thing and commit officially. None of this modern day co-habiting without anything official. We wanna both be under ball and chain, lock and key XD hahaha.
Oh you know I am so excited. Living with Lou alone is a big deal for me and I cannot wait, and I'm so glad I have found the girl I want to settle down with. Usually I would definately be expecting all to go wrong but with Lou its different. I love her, and I know her and we just keep on learning more about each other every day, and as scared as that makes me sometimes (because I am so shit), it makes me sooo damn happy inside.
I miss her now, and I have to wait til friday night before I see her. She is sick, and I wanna be there to make her feel tons better and look after her, wait on her etc because she's amazing and deserves that.
Not long lady. Not long til I am with you again xo

Louisa your my world. I've never put myself at a risk of sounding so cheesy before. I've never felt the need to describe someone with such words as World and Everything. I am absolutely so certain that I have met the girl I want forever and ever. Its strong to talk about forever, and people question it all the time. HOW CAN YOU SAY SUCH A THING! Well, I can tell you right now.
Louisa is my lovely tar tar. (a tar tar is a person who was born on the border of turkey and russia if I have been informed rightly... i know i am hella not spelling it rightly already lol). But yeah, she is so beautiful to me. I look at her eyes in the morning when she wakes up and its like WOW an injection of sunshine even if its hailing it down outside. I like watching her snore. Its comforting because I snore loud as Darth Vadar. LOL! and in his tone of nastyness too. Apparently I look innocent when I sleep until I wake up, then I look cheeky but its OK haha. (or so Lou says).
I spend so much time thinking of Lou at work. I don't always have the time to pay attention to her. And sometimes I really wish I did, but I have to earn my monies. I chose to have a year away from Uni and it meant I had to Work lots. But you know what, this hasnt stopped us from progressing at all. In fact, its very rare we do not spend as much time together as we possibly can. In fact we havent boycotted that opportunity once. We quarrell about stuff that later seems trivial because we talked it all through and reassured each other just right. I snap or act spiteful. Lou makes me feel bad until I come creeping. it just works.
I miss being hugged as if she was hanging onto something for dear life. But thats OK because Saturday I am going to Manchestay again. Damn, this week has dragged. It doesn't feel like I saw Lou only Monday morning. It seems like an eternity.
I love Louisa Emine Law and I want to be with her forever.

The Field Mice - Below The Stars |
] |
So last week i had monday, tuesday and wednesday off work as i had planned a long weekender in Manchester with Lou.
So I headed out on the Saturday. Late because Lou was coming back from London and we were to time it simultaneously so we'd arrive in Manchester at similar times. But of course, Lou had problems (with no trains going to Manchester) at her station in London and was told to go to another station. It seemed no trains were going directly from London. So we met up in Nottingham station instead, and we got the train together to Manchester Piccadilly. I love that station. Its got a nice atmosphere there and a decent Sainsbury's. Reminds me of when Sara used to spend a lot of time working there haha. We stocked up on Mini Oreos, Coco Pops, Milk, Bread, all the likely stuff and it was back to Lou's flat.
To our amazement it was rather messy like it was left (by no means as messy as it would later become over the next few days).
So yeah once we had put our shopping from Sainsburys away we headed for the Union meeting Lou's friend Kim. I thought we were going to be drinking more than we did. I got a bottle of wine as its so dirt cheap at the MMU Union its unreal. But Lou felt ill, and so I downed most of the wine, and we went back to hers to be all loved up and tireds together in bed.
Sunday we spent the day in, watching awesome comedy on DVD, laid in bed, lounging around, drinking tea and coffee. Quoting Old Gregg all day no doubt because we tend to do that an awful lot.
Monday Lou had her Uni money come into her bank and we had arranged a night out at Joshua Brooks with Lou's uni friends. We went shopping and Lou bought me this awesome cardigan and two t shirts, and some new jeans cos she was feeling overly generous and because I am having a poor month. It was so nice of her. We went for lunch at Yo Sushi, and filled our bellies with tasty ass foodstuffs. I particularly creamed over the Duck Gyoza which was new to the menu. I had my usual firecracker rice and tofu stuffs, tomago and of course i had tons of wasabi and soy cos its how i roll lol. Me and Lou spent about 22 pounds each which I thought was nice. Lou couldnt resist buying Lucky Charms from Selfirdges after. We met up with Grace and Lauren in Starbucks for a chat about the evening. Then went out later on to the Union then Joshua Brooks
It was rather fun but I got a little too drunk on Gin and Tonic and Lou said I was acting weird. At this point Lou was being off with me, and I had no idea why. So when I saw her saying "Hi " to someone else in a nice tone I got well upset. Like why should she speak like she's fine to someone else and be unhappyw ith me. But of course this is a drunken thought and it was a bit over the top of me to be sad about it. So me and Lou had a mini row over practically something so stupid. Our fights don't last long really. We understand each others flaws quite well I think. And lou's jealousy kinda surfaced to me later on in the week. But that doesn't need to be written about. I don't think that would be appreciated. We got in and had a drunken shower and all was well with the world. Sort of.
Tuesday morning. Hungover. Proper shopping at ASDA. Lou still feeling Poorly. Cheeky McDonalds because its badass Hangover food. Ice Cream. Once we started feeling better we headed out into town to get Lou a new rucksack and get me some Swimming trunks. We ended up going to Nandos for dinner , Hard Rock Cafe for hot beverages because we were still hungovers, and to the cinema to see Drillbit Taylor on a whim. I didnt expect it to be as amazing as I found it. OK so its supposed to be a mediocre kids film. But its really well done and it made me piss all the way through.
Wednesday we went swimming. I felt a bit concious with my horrible bodies on show. But I got past the fear and it was easy. I love swimming. I feel like Im 12 everytime I get in a pool. I thank Lou for being so ace and making my fears dissappear. Its really ace. It was cute seeing Lou in her bikini too heh. Lou kept drowning me and I hated it at first. But then I realised I'd get used to it and ask her to keep doing it to me LOL. i did some cartwheels underwater and made Lou embarassed, swam under her legs a few times lol. We were naughty in the changing rooms. Haha btu I won't be graphic. We then decided it would be wise to do the Chinese Buffet. And it was. It was pretty sweet. Its amusing though. Some kids walked in, and unlike us adults, they had to pay BEFORE they ate. Hilarious. Poor chav kids :P lol. That night I had to go home and it was a bit Poo but we had naughty times just before I left which was ace and made me feel betters if just that little bit more.
Wednesday night I didn't sleep because Lou was questioning how much I was over an ex. This carried on into Thursday daytime when I was at work. It wasn't until I got home we had sorted it out. It took a lot of talking and pouring my heart out to put it right and for Lou to believe me. But she knows now what I think of the past and all of my ex's and its wonderful because Lou is the only girl I want.
Lou toyed with the idea of coming a day early to mine. She was meant to come on the Friday night. But she spare of the moment hopped on a train to come see me instead of going out with her friends. She let some of her best friends down to see me because she wanted to make sure we were OK after all the chats in person. We had the most amazing sex ever, and hugged so tight and fell to sleep all amazing.
Friday I had to work but I obviously had to let Lou wait for me to get home. So she went back to sleep then later finished some Uni work she needed to do on my Macbook via her email account. Watched some Family Guy, and met my Dad some more, had cups of tea with him etc dissed my untidyness etc lol. Then I got home smelling of spices, Lou wanted a spicey cuddle so I gave her one and she was like EW hahaha. Showed Lou a bit of town, bought American Beauty cos Lou hadn't seen it, watched that. I bathed, and we had a sweet night in being naughty cos my Dad wasnt home.
Saturday we were meant to go swimming in mansfield but Lou had forgot her contacts. EEEK, so I just gave Lou a tour of the crappy towns I live around. Lou got new shoes, and got me a Purple t shirt (she spoils me too much but I promise I will return the favour whenever I can). We went to go meet Niki at Ill Rosso for a couple of drinks. Lou drank more than me and Niki. We popped around the corner and went to see Grindhouse at the Odeon. (the Tarintino thing with two films. Death proof and that zombie one I forget the name of). Either way, I loved Death Proof. Awsesome film. Love the ending. Even thought the Aussie woman was a bit annoying at first lol. I think Lou and Niki seemed to get on. It was ace speaking to NIki again and catching up on stuff. And it was nice that Lou and one of my best friends get on fine :)
We fell asleep to Fresh Prince of Bel Air I think running on my Macbook, all snuggled up. Spooning going on. I made us salmon, broccolli and basmati rice in cheese sauce lol. jokes.
Sunday was just a chillout, watching the London marathon cos my Dad was in it. Chilling out to more Fresh Prince and I put on American Graffiti and Ghost World for Lou to see cos she wanted to see some of the films I liked. I just picked those at random. It was nice just being alone and chilling. Ive been busy with work when Im not with Lou and when we are usually together we are doing lots. So it was nice to be doing a little less. Chilling out properly. I made us foods I think. But only ready made Lasagne and Cannelloni. Lou gets jealous easily just like I get jealous easily too. So we addressed the issue. It took some talking but we understands now I hope. I love her more than anything or anyone, and its come so quick. but what you must realise as a reader, is that me and Lou hardly spend any long time apart. We just thrive on being together for as long as possible and I love that.
Monday Lou had to gooooo back. It sucked, but I soldiered on. Lou sorted a ticket for me to come to Manchester this weekend coming. And Im waiting for that to come so bad. A day without Lou seems like a week I swear. Love is really really awesome rewarding. So when I arrive in Manchester on Saturday I will be guaranteed to feel amazing. And I can't wait for that. Im arriving really early too at like half 8am so the first thing I do when I get there is go back to bed with Lou all snuggled. Its gonna be magic.
XD

And I can't get Lou off my mind. I'm always so excited to get to spend all the time I can with her. This weekend she goes back to Manchester on Saturday and she wants me to meet her on the platform which to us is a little romantic. Especially when Lou has to unpack a lot of stuff haha. I will be her bitch and help put all the stuff away. I doubt she'd bring as much shit as I would if it was me coming back to Uni. I'm terrible. I usually pack way too much but last week in London I packed just enough.
The weekend was ace. We went to Camden and I experienced lots of oriental ladies trying to sell their foods in my face. And a market stall that sold BAPE trainers (jokes), shops that sell anime style clothings, a huuuuuge Cyberdog shop where kids too young to rave proper, rave it up to a shit DJ who can't mix... hell, the shop even has its own dog ugly pole dancer haha.. which was kinda hilarious. We spotted blatant 15 year olds smoking shisha illegally at some legal shish place. We just walked on by giggling of course.
Then we were like wanting to go to KOKO. Apparently according to 118 118 (UK Directory enquiries) The Ghost Frequency were playing but the internet and KOKO's number said nothing of the sort. So we left it. We ended up scouring the net for the place POPTASTIC is held at *SCALA* and it turns out Robots In Disguise (who I love, and had thought about seeing in London a couple of days prior without knowing theyd be on). Of course with Dee Plume the lead singer being Noel Fielding's girlfriend we ended up seeing him there. How awesome. They didn't play La Nuit but they played DJ's Got A Gun first. Which was awesome as. But throughout the whole day, and the night... me and Lou just didn't seem to get bored. It was awesome. Usually I wouldn't have danced much or anything. But we danced lots, drank only enough to get me a little merry, and it was awesome times. My only gripe is that the Southern Fried Chicken shop was closed at 3am when we got back in Lou's native Tottenham. haha. We got in and had some M & S Riccotta. Well, Lou had Tagglittelle. Jokes.
And whats amazing is that I get to see Lou on Saturday through til Wednesday cos I booked some time off work. Then I work Thurs and Fri next week, then Lou comes Friday night through Monday morning to stay at mine for the first time. CRAzY! Im a bit nervous cos my town is very very boring, but me and Lou are real content around eeach other so it should be fine. My dad is a bit embarassing but Im guessing he'll not be around too much. He is often out running, and seeing his lady friend and stuff. So that'd be cool. I think we'll go into Nottingham too cos Lou has never been. Its only Nottingham when you wear a bulletproof vest. Otherwise they call it Shottingham lmao.
Anyway... this is a Long Long LJ. I miss Lou so much. I wish I was spooning proper tight with her now. But I'll have to wait til Saturday.
OK, so I could write more but I'm off to sleep. its half past 3 in the morning. xo
Anyway

Because I am. I met this girl. She goes to Manchester Met Uni and lives at Victoria Halls term time, and her home home is Tottenham. About three weeks ago I spent a whole week with her in Manchester. I had the time off work, and we just effortlessly gelled, and its been pretty swell. You could say we fell instantly. Not in a forced way. Everything fits between us (including parts of our bodies I do not wish to mention). The best of it all, is that we are not up for short term at all. This is love, and we are very into each other. This is the first time a girl has found me 100% attractive I think (in the past I've felt they wanted to be with skinny boys who sing screamo songs in wank scene bands, or big bearded monster men who are like "yeah im manly - look at my beard") lmao.
But all of that is irrelevant. When we sleep, we spoon all night, and we wake up in the morning at the same time - STILL spooning. Its rather spectacular. She makes me laugh real much. She has an accent and a motherly nature she can't deny, and I melt when I hear her voice over the phone let alone in my ear. People say we seem like a married couple. Its crazy. We are a double act. Darren and Lou. Lou and Darren.

"Loveninjas are four or five Swedish boys in their mid 20's with dirty hair and black clothes. They are determined to make love with Japanese girls and then write songs about it. Loveninjas' songs sound like classic schlagers that have been forced through a dirty indie filter and then had its lyrics replaced by pornographic manga. The live experience is even greater! Singing songs about broken penises dressed in a giant heart is... well, very funny to say the least."

Today:
I was supposed to go call Suraj and collaborate at his house. But to be honest, my nose ain't up to no good and I don't feel like writing and putting in all the instrumentation myself. I think collaborations should be more natural. Maybe I'm just not feeling the idea today. Giving is something I love, but not today.
Tonight:
DJ'ing at that old hole Blackwell Hotel again. It can be fun. I find the crowd funny and incredibly normal but not that offputting. They're quite welcoming. I mainly go so I can play music off my Macbook. I love DJ'ing on this thing. I have like two programs. One called Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio, and one called DJ-1800. DJ-1800 is like an Emulation of old-style Denon CD decks and mixers. I swap between the two programs so I don't get bored.
Last week I took a silly video of Blackwell Hotel. I wasn't playing the best of songs, and it wasn't very full at the time of filming but it was a fun time. I like making fun and being tongue in cheek about silly situations.

I fucking love this band called The Maple State.
They remind me of all the good 90's emo stuff, but refreshing at the same time.

today at work was great.
strange though.
the head chef who taught me on my first ever work experience at renaissance hotel (before i worked behind their last sumer obviously), now works as the new development chef. i was like is that guys name Richard to one of my friends in Product Development because I didn't quite knw if it was him. but yeah i spoke to him on the way out of work today, and its cool cause i remember him being a top bloke.
and Joe in PD got the Juno soundtrack off iTunes last night haha. So he is going to slam it me on a CD cause we've both been raving about the film and ellen page and the rest of the cast being brilliant. its good to know im now working with a bunch of ace folks. and a few of them have the same humour/taste. which rules.
belle and sebastian's latest album is getting plays from me again because it really is a great album and i overplayed tigermilk and dear catastrophe waitress (if that is possible). its a bit sad sometimes cos i love this band and so did my ex and it reminds me of her to a tee, but u know - i don't crave her anymore. in fact a great belle and seb song would describe that feeling. oh the irony.
You Don't Send Me its called. although when we ended i was thinking Tie One On by Aberfeldy was more apt ahha.
when we first split i was thinking oh my, will i ever find a girl who likes twee again. haha. but now im not too fussed. i do love the twee and a lot of people happen to love it and im realising its not just her that does. haha.

| Work, Sushi, Weasily Waiters and I Was A Cub Scout |
[15 Feb 2008|10:36pm] |
my pay has increased because i have improved remarkably over a week. the extension they gave me was meant to be 3 months, but i put myself out there and shined this week.
we be ballin'.
also id like to thank Jess for burning me the I Was a Cub Scout songs she had. ive had them on repeat since. me and jess are climbing the sushi ranks after last night. slowly. i now know the different types. can use chopsticks well enough, and know NOT to eat Handrolls for obvious reasons (SOOO MESSY), know how awesome Saki tastes and effects.... oh and also i know to HATE peoplpe who have faces resembling weasles and choose the job title Waiter.
:) That guy was a PPE! (Piss poor excuse). yeah i just made that up XD

| Yet another Video blog. |

Thats what I am becoming. I guess I could use the excuse that pictures and sounds paint more than words. Its a good argument. So I bring you another video. Here is my most recent nostalgia. I loved this band about 3/4 years ago and the love has stayed even though they are now not together.
Piebald - American Hearts
Oh mane. Work last night was a task and a half. Theyre gradually getting me back to normal hours. 10 - 6 last night. NIGHT SHIFT. Today I'm working only 6 hours from 5 - 11pm. Awesome. Then tomorrow I'm doing 10am - 6pm. Thus pushing me to cancel on Jess and Mine's Sushi night. So yeah that has to be put to the Thursday when my hours at work are normal again. I'm going to be so tired and disorientated this week I can tell.
But hey, always look on the brightside yes?! I ordered an 20gb old skool iPod cos they rule over the new fancy color screen/crap battery generations. Yeah the battery life lasts longer but my last nano burnt out like nobody's business. And I have a WiFi naughty tool coming my way soon also haha.
I'm drinking a coffee and chilling before work. It is nice and it is calm.

I WANNA TRY THEM ALL ON YOU!!!!!!
In other news, I have been enjoying having my forged Fender Telecaster back! I have a wicked program on my Mac that emulates the best guitar sounds. So I guess you could say this song (above) is a bit apt. Computery Geeky music creation is the best thing. It wins.
Well, I'd much prefer the love of a real awesome woman. Bring it on plz.
