Your Boring Saturday Night

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

i'm gonna take some time off of posting to ilx, starting now.

Slowly digesting masses of fried chicken and grilled oysters w/ chorizo. Now watching episodes of Peep Show.

ended up skyping with my brother, that was p rad actually

due to jet lag i fell asleep at 7pm and woke up now.

good try, markers. I left for a month with no real announcement!

i've tried and failed to take like a month off of ilx. lot of instant gratification on this site. i feel sort of embarrassed about announcing i was leaving before. i meant it at the time.

next saturday night i might try to make this, because it is the best: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilli_crab

does anyone have a netflix instant recommendation? i am thinking something arty, maybe european, that i wouldn't have heard of because i am bad about keeping up with film the way i do with music and lit.

dunno there might be a thread that could help you

making swiss mushroom burgers and corn on the cob and finishing up some transcription work. and generally just staying the hell out of the heat.

listening to maria's radio show. gonna watch dredd.

link?

cool thx

i watched the amityville horrod docu. it sort of fizzles by the end without revealing or concluding much, apart from rather O_O (and unsurprising) emotional issues left in one of the now adult kid who went through whatever all of that was.

now having beers, dunno what else. hmm.
