Roaaarrr.
I haven't seen a weekend thread so I thought I'd make one.. did anyone get up to anything non-lame?
I made 'metal cakes' on Saturday, which were basically cupcakes decorated with things like skulls, swords and Mortiis. I tried to eat the remaining icing though, and just felt really, really ill after.
Sunday I felt like I should be playing football, but I didn't. Played Pro-Evo, which is the next best thing, almost.
The parts of it that were good were well good
The parts of it that were shit were well shit
I had an amazing weeked, ta
Saw Johnny Truant, SoKo, Ebony Bones, Wiley and a few more acts at Great Escape on Saturday, followed by jagermeister and dancing at the Concorde. On Sunday I went to the pub for the best roast ever, and I've finally found a place to live in Brighton! My first venture away from home, I'm a bit excited!
brighton
is clearly awesome.
Yes, it is!
I nearly cried on the train home last night, thinking what I was going back to. Okay, where I live isn't THAT bad, but it's still pretty shit. My new room also has a view of the sea :-D
haha, seaviews never get old
my flats on the front (okay, so i'm in hove not ACTUAL brighton) still amazes me when i open my curtains and see nothing but sea :) + the air is lovely.
I outed myself
dancing to 'Respect' by Erasure on Friday. I've not looked back.
*'A Little Respect'
Have I now outed myself?
You sure have, sweetlips
At least it wasn't
the Wheatus version.
went out on friday after finishing work early..
saturday i was pretty hungover, so watched some comedy shows online.
sunday played football then a couple of friends came over.
gotta be careful with money what with not really being employed & having primavera coming up. good weekend, none the less.
oddly, I made guitar shaped biscuits!
but without icing, because it makes me sick. Those cupcakes sound amazing.
I had a fun weekend, but feel guilty because I haven't got ready to move. Nothing is packed and we have to move out by Saturday!
How did your quest for boxes go?
I don't think I ever want to see icing again- I did make a pretty badass 'devil horns' cupcake though!
I'm dreading looking at my last.fm this week, it might be well metal.
urgh, i might just buy some as twentynine suggested but
they seem pretty expensive. I'll have to go to the local Chicken Spot and get some of their savoury infused cardboard boxes instead. Man, we have furniture to move and everything! I believe in the rushing method, otherwise I'm likely to obsess over old CDs and letters.
Oh, were the horns sticking up from the cupcake? Amazing!
Do you think this is supposed to be an open infested wound? Looks tasty:

Chicken Spot! :-D
I love dubiously named fried chicken vendors, particularly if they have their own version of 'the colonel'.
Blogspot's blocked here at work, but I think that's the same link my ladyfriend showed me the other day.. is it like a black cake with some kind of goo oozing out of it?
Chicken Spot, yes!
Possibly the least alluring name in chicken vendorship history. It's like they don't want customers. How come there aren't just beef shops? I went on holiday recently, and there was a restaurant (for dedicated meat eaters) where you could buy strips of beef.
There's another place near my house called Chick Pizz.
Yeah, same link probably! The other cake is very pretty so I'm not sure how that fits in with the black metal theme :)
I wish there were Pork shops too
maybe chicken seems to be seen as more of a traditional bucket-food. I think the worst KFC ripoff I heard was Klucky Fried Chicken or something!
Reckon there's a market for 'metal' chicken? The logo could be some comedy metaller playing a giant drumstick instead of a guitar.
Mortiis came over and i ate his actual face, not an icing version.
Did he 'Smell the Witch?'
No, he was on a quest to find the 'Parasite God'
Did he look in the 'Crypt of the Wizard?'
Almost. 'The Smell Of Rain' masked the scents
Maybe he ran through 'The Stargate'..
...all the while frantically wailing: "YOU PUT A HEX ON ME!
Whilst skulking off to drink 'Spirit in a Vacuum'
He is 'Way Too Wicked', that Mortiis...
*is almost out of Mortiis track titles*
He is both the
"Child of Curiosity & the Old Man of Knowledge"!
'The Lonliest Thing', he thought to himself, "is having 'Asthma'"
*and i'm spent...this has been fun, we should do it again sometime*
Yup, good weekend
Went to a warehouse party on Saturday and fell out of a tree yesterday whilst trying to retrieve an Aerobie.
Mondays are rubbish, can barely type or open my eyes. I’m going to try & take a nap in the toilets. Failing that, I’m gonna go home or maybe even retire…..
I dragged myself to London
for Devonmalcolm's birthday on Sat eve. I found the poor lad wandering around Kilburn alone. Everyone ditched him. Is it because they heard I was going to turn up?
I had better things to do
and forgot it was this weekend entirely. But mainly the other things.
harsh
:D
Did you?!!?
I missed you then! And I'm sure I only left him at about 8. Damn it.
To be honest, he left first. He was in a proper mess.
I was so confused
he claimed that he had gone home to change and thought everyone was sticking around. I thought I was coming to a house party. I was tricked into seeing a Smiths tribute act and then drank wine out of mugs. Damn you.
The Smyths!!!
I was only two doors up from you, in the Luminaire. You should have said!
A hosue party?!? Was this ever the plan?
Last I saw of him he'd wandered off up the road bumping into all and sundry saying something about having to talk to Anna.
Oh Lord
he was a bit (very) sombre. I can't believe you were only in the Luminaire! Worst trip to London ever.
Turns out that no, a house party was never the plan. Bad communication all round. I think he'd planned the whole thing.
If I'd known you were there, I'd have told you where we were.
You mentalist. We had a cracker of an evening.
*cries*
and I hate the Smiths.
You'd better be at Zonino 3.5 on June 28th now.
I promise a) no Smiths and b) no house party.
on that basis
and on that basis alone I'll be there. Actually the basis is the BBQ x
And my pretty face, obvs.
obv
x
: (
well you said
you weren't coming.
I lied
well awesome
another basis.
Brilliant
ex models and no age on friday, got 3 cakes for my birthday on saturday and went on a record binge yesterday. Now I'm going to have cake for breakfast. Things cannot get better!
Were any of the cakes metal though?
What records did yr get/
one was a robot..
I got Iggy and the Stooges, Daydream Nation 4 lp box, the Sonics, Big Black, Ciccone Youth, and Young Marble Giants and Daisy Chainsaw on CD.
ps one of the other cakes is covered in Happy Hippos and Nutella. om nom nom
Big Black on Vinyl <3
I really want some nutella now..argh!
Were ex-models any good live? I've yet to see em.
it is pretty damned good
exmodels were great, think I prefered them on Wednesday as it was in a really tiny venue then. They're really furious. Amazing. Err I'm now sending you some cake via the internetz, however, I fear it may get damaged/ lost in the post
It was pretty good!
Didn't do much, went out for a bit on Saturday but spent the rest of the time at home.
Me and my flatmate made a pie yesterday, it wasn't metal but it was tasty!
i'm not sure i'd want a metal pie
then you should come round for pie!
6/10
Watched Peep Show series 1 and played on the Wii at my friends house, then went bowling, had to endure one of my friends being unreasonable yet again, which has pushed me to breaking point. Sunday was spent clearing out old clothes, playing Doom and crying.
"playing Doom and crying"
- were you doing your war face as well?
RAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!
Which Doom?
I watched some clips of the Doom film on youtube and it looked like the worst thing ever!
It might actually be the worst thing ever!
Is your email working again yet?
It was working this morning
try it.
You haven't got the Doom film have you?
Ultimate Doom, Doom 2 and Final Doom
I ordered it in the week and it arrived on Friday. :D
It's like the best film ever you burke! The Rock! BFG! Monsters! 1st person action sequence! The guy from Press Gang! PINKY!
very, very boring
but I had a cracking full English on Sunday, though I did spend the afternoon drinking Jack Daniels by myself.
Jack Daniels straight? Or with mixer?
I feel this warrants clarification.
oh, with mixer
I'm a bit of a big girl's blouse really
Yup good thanks
not a lot happened which just made it even better.
I made waffles
and got drunk. (Not in that order)
So it was pretty good.
5, maybe 6/10
Mixed bag
Friday was my clubnight which was a minor disaster - people seemed to have fun though. Eats Tapes stayed in my house and were utterly lovely.
On Saturday I took Eats Tapes to breakfast and then to Dalston Oxfam to buy books. When I left them to go to Leeds I felt so ill that I went back to bed, completely missing the FA cup final. Watched Peep Show, got take away. Bed by 11.
Sunday I went for a roast with friends, then a few drinks. Was meant to go to Telepathe at Bardens but was again really tired and bed by 11 once more.
Don't be too upset about missing Telepathe
I saw them in Brighton on Friday, they were quite disappointing. They gave off the impression that they didn't give a toss about being there. I like them on record though.
Ah
I'm seeing them support Xiu Xiu tonight anyway, so we shall see how they shape up.
Lengthy
had last Thursday and Friday off, spent Thursday playing music in Shoreditch and eating Hot Salf Beef Beigels (my new favourite food). Spent most of Friday sleeping before seeing Ruby Suns, made the terrible mistake of not starting to drink until 2am, ended up at a house party, upset some neighbours at 8.30 by listening to too-loud Kraut-funk. Slept in way too late on Saturday, felt so terrible I had to immediately go for a toastie and a beer and didn't stop drinking all day. I also bought a toy Volvo which kept me very entertained. Sunday was pretty similar but with more Buffy (OMG I can't believe Miss Calendar's dead! I really fancy her).
Ace set Thursday!
See you at the Brainlove thing
Thanks!
Shit
:-(
:(
My friends are shit
I missed out on seeing two bands I wanted to see
I've got some sort of ailment that involves my throat and my sneeze
etc
Solutions:
Kill your friends and steal their wallets.
Use funds to go and see bands and have private health treatment on throat.
Spend rest of money on xbox and hookers.
you're good with problem solving
i can see how you got your job
Pretty shit.
Had some family revelations to deal with, and I'm being forced into a position where I have to throw my weight around a bit. :(
Worked both Saturday and Sunday night.
Thought about the romantic pickle I have got myself into, and how to best limit the damage to friendships etc.
Revised for my Luke's Gospel A2 which is on Thursday.
3/10.
Eeek at the first thing
hope you're doing ok.
friday: stayed in the libary all night
saturday: went to work 930-6 then went to the library all night
sunday: went to work 1030-5 then went to the library all night
not the funnist of weekends
something of a curate's egg
Good bits:
No Age, snail eating, manic shoplifting, dancing, listening to Daydream Nation at 5 in the morning, It Box, pretty dancing girl, the theatre, a nice meal, having the plug pulled on me at an open mic night, being bought a really nice Einsturzende Neubauten poster
Bad bits:
continuing hangover, being threatened by an angry man, being punched in the really pathetic pit at No Age, confusion and surprise, not being at ATP
Overall outcome: I'm going for a run with usa_nails today
I should mention that the snail
was alive, and was put in three peoples mouths. But not mine. This is what happens when you're drunk in rainy Salford at 3 am.
I'm looking forward to the run!
Hows 6 for you? I would say earlier but I found out 5 minutes ago that I have a dissertation lecture this afternoon that I didn't know about thats mandatory :(
Friday: Cooked curry and stayed in
Saturday: Breakfast and papers in bed, saw Ironman in afternoon (perfect afternoon pic), booked a holiday with my GF.
Sunday: Went hill walking, weeded the alotment. Baked a pie. ROCK AND ROLL!
It was good thanks.
Friday night went for work drinks and caught up with a bunch of people I hadn't seen for ages. Then met DiSers Moker and Richyblue in (urgh) Camden. Hadn't meated Moker before and he's a great guy, I can also confirm that he really is *not* Meths. Also Moker's girlfriend is lovely.
On Saturday had a friend over for dinner and had lots to catch up on, good food, bit of a late one but much fun.
Yesterday was bumming around, doing music stuff, watched some tely and did a bit of housework. Didn't do a roast because I think I've overdosed on them recently :0\
/\
Ta! Was very nice to meat you too.
sat: Did nothing during the day, ate massive Chinese feast at night
sun: Subjected Moker to a rake of girly DVDs. Ate tapas.
And no, not the rude type smutfans
