How to waste a Sunday…

I still feel a bit hungover today.  Despite two showers I think I can still smell alcohol.  Not nice.  My memory is a bit hazy as well.

It could have been worse though.

A mate of mine got in pissed on Saturday night, and went to bed.  At 4am he got up, opened his bedroom window, and promptly fell out.  15 feet down.  Onto a nice soft concrete driveway.  He now has a broken arm, fractured hip and needs a new Sky dish; it broke his fall and stopped him from landing on his head.  Get well soon Jon.  (Although I did kinda laugh when I heard)

I am drunk

it is 5:11am

I somehow blagged a lock-in.

I will regret it tomorrow.

Nevermind.

How to get rid of cold callers…

Had someone phone me up today trying to sell me a mobile, despite the fact I signed up with the TPS ages back. I started off by politely declining. She didn’t take the hint. I then asked where she got my number from. She wouldn’t say. I again told her I wasn’t interested. The woman then started to get stroppy, saying I wasn’t giving her a fair chance. After politely repeating to her several times that I wasn’t interested, she still did not get the message, and started to get a bit rude, saying how unfair I was being. So I played Chesney Hawkes down the phone to her. She was still listening 3 minutes later. I got bored and hung up. Immature but mildly amusing.

I am currently working on a website that is based upon a client’s sketch drawn in microsoft paint. Think blind toddler scrawling with melted crayons. It looks fucking atrocious. I’m getting quite good at swallowing my pride.

Am quite getting into WolfMother, Plan B and The Fratellis at the mo… listened to all three play live last night at SXSW… Snow Patrol played as well but were appalling. They’re playing one of the Eden Sessions, but sold out before I got a chance to get tickets. With hindsight this is probably a good thing.

Instead I’ve got tickets to see Goldfrapp, with Frances, my sis and her bf. Shame it ain’t til August, but at least it’ll be warm. If the 4th headline act is any good, I might go and see them as well.

Possibly the greatest local radio advert ever. I’m hoping it’s fake.

mooooosic…

Somehow I missed Frank Turner (ex Million Dead) ’s live acoustic set on The Lock Up last week.  I just heard one of the tracks he did; an awesome cover of Abba’s Dancing Queen.  No really.  Fucking amazing, well worth listening to.  It’s about 30 mins into the 14/03/06 show, or one and a half hours into the 7/03/06 one.  Linky

Was also impressed by the Editors‘ recent cover of GorillazClint Eastwood Feel Good Inc.  Better than the original.  Is it just me or do they sound more like Interpol every time you hear them?

It seems there is a god (note the lowercase, as he hasn’t earned his capital yet!).  Somehow found and bought a Boxfresh jacket that is nearly identical to the one that some junkie broke my heart by stealing from me a few months back.  It’s black and not quite so cool, but it will still (hopefully) rock.  It only took me two and a half months.  Maybe I’ll find my virginity next.
