Morning!

― Forest Pines, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:17 (nineteen years ago)

I can't stop looking at that eye! If I move from side to side in front of my monitor THE EYE FOLLOWS ME.

WAKE UP G00BLAR!

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:43 (nineteen years ago)

it's a beautiful morning!

― emsk, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

It's jolly chilly-willy though.

― C J, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

chilly-willy lol! heh i am in a ridiculous good mood. my flatmate is back today hurrah! i prob won't see her until tomorrow unless she is still up when i get home from work around 1am (possible, brazil is, what, 6 hours behind us? 7?) but i have got up early and cleaned the house for her. now i am going to work to Learn More Stuff and listen to clever people bait each other, then go work on the door at a gig (or cloakroom? i forgot) which will be FUNS too.

― emsk, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:50 (nineteen years ago)

Singing in the pub last night was pretty great. I drank all the beers (no hangover though as it was all young's ordinary). I haven't been to the three kings in ages and this seems like a stupid omission.

Not sure about sunday opening but shall we meet post treasure hunt there?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

i suspect the treasure hunt will end in a pub and people will not want to leave it. want to join us wherever that is? i can text you and let you know where we're at.

― emsk, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

also tomorrow countryside bikeride rah rah pls weather to stay EXACTLY like this.

― emsk, Friday, 2 March 2007 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

you know what, Emsk, one of these days I am sure I am going to turn up at a random gig and find you operating the cloakroom or door. And I won't be the least bit surprised.

I have just discovered that Apples in Stereo are playing Primavera Sound. Yay!

Oh and Kate, Asia was asking me to play her some Shimura Curves, I couldn't find my cd at that particular moment but found a solo one I got off you years ago which had Lost Rivers of Clerkenwell, Wash and Unfinished Business on it.

Sorry, I'm just not obsessed with the new Arcade Fire album. I supposed I got too many other good albums around the same time. I *am* obsessed with the Flowers of Hell album, though. Maybe the sheer bloody OBVIOUSNESS of the AF's religious symbolism bothers me. A bit ramming it down the throat.

That said, I am REALLY enjoying your book on the Reformation, Ed.

I love the eye, I think it's great. I really want a tattoo of it.

Did we win one nuke? Yay us! We are the RADIOACTIVEST!!! I hope I'm still glowing by next week when I have to go back to the haaaahnd doctor. I will tell the injector guy that I am supplying mine own radioactivity. Hurrah!

I stopped going to singing in the pub with the campers years ago because it got boring, too much trying to learn new songs and do complicated harmonies, not enough actual singing. Last night was all about the singing. The acoustic in the room was poor, very hard to hear individual voices, let alone one's own. Made call and response songs hard work. Umkonto we sizwe still makes me uneasy, but it is really pretty and that did work well.

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 10:59 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I was able to nobble the person I whose camp I want to go on this summer.

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

Errr... what does nobble mean? Do I want to know?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

There is a procedure for getting on camps, and there are ways of going round it to get on the camp you want to go on which are very naughty.

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:05 (nineteen years ago)

Man, I so cannot get motivated to do any work today. It is just too damn sunny outside.

And I still feel too burned from my late night last night. I didn't leave this place until 10.45 and got in this morning, less than 12 hours later, to find my glass of water still undrunked on my desk.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

'Dja drink it?

I'm sleepteaching today and so far that seems to be getting the job done.

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

This sunshine is glorious.

― C J, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:41 (nineteen years ago)

No, I emptied it out and got another one. I feel bad when I leave after the cleaner, like I'll mess up all her cleaning.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

Emsk, do you fancy a country bike rid on the 17th or 18th of March?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)

this place is shut at weekends and at 9pm I think, so no opportunities for working oneself into t'ground silliness.

I have never stayed later than 7.00 or so.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)

This place is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They really promote the overwork culture.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

this is one important reason why I don't think I'd ever want to move back to London -- a fear of being sucked into the overwork culture. I like being here in the slack provinces!

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

Kate, thoughts on ILX comp: We should change all the 'c's in everything to 'k's because it's more Krautrock

― tissp, Friday, 2 March 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

No, I had to make a conscious decision not to buy into the overwork culture. Only at monthend will I do it. And if I find myself working late, I come in late the next day.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

Elektrik Komet Theory?

"Meine Pferd schön"

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, it should be Theorie, too, more German!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:08 (nineteen years ago)

Yes!

― tissp, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

That fruit & nut bar was gross, but now I get rice pudding! Yay for treats.

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:25 (nineteen years ago)

I had carrot cake yesterday so I don't get it as a treat today. :-(

Must remember to get carrot cake for the gig tomorrow! Apparently F also gets the same "ohmigod, I'm on drugs weeeeeeee" extreme reaction to it that I do, which is really a good state for playing dronerock.

Funnily enough, I'm thinking of contributing an acoustic Krautrock medley to the comp.

Srsly tho: no one has a tambourine?

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

£4.50 in hobgobblin

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, no, no tambourine. All of mine are sampled!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

I might pop in there tomorrow, want me to pick you one up?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

what's hobgobblin?

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, I see it. I'm actually not far from there. Could go myself today.

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

hobgoblin

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

Oooh, please pick me up a tambourine, Ed! I would actually like one. (Though does it have a drum skin on it, or just jingle-jangles.)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

In fact, I've bought strings+picks from there; had forgotten the name.

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

Which would you like? (look at the site pick one)

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

They have lots! All cheap!

― G00blar, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

6" is too small, though - I want at least the 8" Tambourine.

Oh, and jingle sticks! I love jingle sticks... and a cabeza... man, we need a percussionist.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

8 or 10?

― Ed, Friday, 2 March 2007 12:49 (nineteen years ago)
