misread this as 'i am publicly going to get some chinese food later'

well, i did have to leave the house

who knows

going to a housewarming party, need to do laundry, but roommate is washing his girlfriends underwear right now.

tried to get mk2 to watch star trek with me, but he got bored, so i am now stuck in the west wing with box of wine and the archive.

Paaaaarty! For my friend whose birthday it is and who appears to so far be recovering from really aggressive breast cancer treatment over the last year.

that's awesome, in orbit (the latter). had a friend of mine go through that a few years ago. all signs lookin good (so far)?

Sorry, mark! Didn't mean to run right over you. You have a west wing???

xp It's too early to declare recovery but scan shows nothing right now after chemo/surgery/radiation + drastic lifestyle change, radical dietary change, total personal 180 in energy and outlook.

in orbit, fear not, your news is wonderful - celebrate till the sun rises !

'west wing' = extension we had built.

it is my zone of noise i.e. the location of the inept ireallylovemusic soundsystem, and my special place when the monsters take control of the tv.

So you don't just throw your clothes in at the same time like I do?

I am jealous of you Mark, my equivalent of a west wing is the kitchen.

well, this is basically the kitchen with an extra room on the side, but its away from the neighbours/kids etc

has been an essential factor in my world in the last 18 months.

My equivalent of a west wing at this moment is a little iPod speaker in our living room

A friend of mine, who is unlikely to ever have any children, once made a joke about building "a children's wing...in Switzerland" that I've never forgotten. That's my kind of parenting.

yeah, when we had the extension built we joked re having security doors added so only us old'uns could use it.

as it is, the tv/ps3 etc means it really is my space now ...

i am very fortunate as despite hq being an old 1940s semi detached i can play music loud, and no-one else can hear ...

lol i thought you meant the tv show haha

ha ..

job hunting

cleaning
listening to elton john

currently watching Metropolis, if my new sn hasn't given that away

Come! It's time to give the Machine-Man your face~!

saw the jobs movie

aaaaand

Sounds like there will be a loud late party in one of the yards behind me. Not the good reggae one, either.

poor in orbit ...

wish you could join the hq groove ...

Oh, I'm leaving in a couple of hours for the city by late-nite cool air bike ride, to go see friends play soul/reggae/rocksteady/garage records and celebrate. The yard party just interrupted my disco nap. :)

veg: steve jobs

gonna make some soft pretzels. in the microwave.

I am making a quill pen out of a hawk feather for a friend's birthday

pray for me not to fuck it up, I only have the one feather :S

so this friend's 'housewarming', I was just hoping would be an interesting diversion for 3 hours, wound up staying until noon today. wound up making out with my friend's roommate by the end of the evening. I'd been attracted to her the first two times I met her, but we were both shy and never spoke, but we hit it off very well here. at the very least, a fun time!

'housewarming'

no idea why I put that in quotes. it really was a housewarming.

i was making a joke about you and the girl!

lol. I'm not firing on all cylinders today.

hey, let's 'break in' this new sofa....

"Yes, you can unwrap it now."

day had a rough start but here we are

p quiet out actually

been hanging out with housemate all evening, ended up reading out ridiculous aristocratic names from informational website thepeerage.com to one another (hence new display name). need to do the washing up, can't be arsed to move.

listening to a friend play records on the radio, got a shout-out <3

omg @ thepeerage.com that is my dream catalogue of pointlessness

it's just... so beautiful

The pee rage

My wife is gone away overnight to attend a memorial for a dead friend of hers from before we married. I will stay home, cook a nice dinner, drink some wine, read a book, maybe watch some television or put on a DVD. The only problem comes when I should be going to bed. When she's away I always delay this sensible action until much too late into the night. SNL doesn't repay the time or effort, but I can't seem to drag myself to an empty bed.

had a weird sort of late lunch/early dinner of homemade chinese food and wontons at like 4pm

soooooo later this evening I'm gonna settle in with a bowl of top ramen, a pile of laundry to be folded...and probably Parentood episodes or a movie.

Cooking a pizza pie, more a pie than a pizza with alternating layers of meat, sauce and moz cheese. And watching too cute with August, who has learned to say cat.

made a new podcast episode, played with cat, cooked, ate, showered, sat by the air conditioner.

Drinking tea. Veedon Fleece. Trying to not have a panic attack over approaching deadlines.

i just bought the ebook of infinite jest for two bucks on amazon
