So I finally got my finger out my arse and bought the new Stereophonics album this morning.
This one feels strangely appropriate for today.
You dont know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you

You look like Jesus on an aeroplane
Ya head's against the window pane
You got opinions but you aint...

A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold.

Those pics are amazing.
Have to admit I enjoyed the new Doc series as well - was a bit unsure at first but I think they've nailed it with the new cast quite well.

'sad and no life of my own'? Welcome to my world! 
There is more booze in my fridge than food.
I love holiday weekends.
Went to the tattooists this morning to get my tongue bar shortened. Had a chat to the ever gorgeous Marc. Tried to ignore the fact that his boss Dave, whom my mate Phi fancies like mad, was walking around the place in his pants and socks. 
It had obviously been a long...

Another poem from my favourite incurable romantic 
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write for example, 'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms....

Lovely.
Your poem of the other day with the opening line including gardens made me think of this van morrision track. Its my favorite of his ever and so beautiful.. If you don`t have it make sure you get it.
And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And theyll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrows sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
hey, its me, Im dynamite
And I dont know why
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I will raise my hand up
Into the night time sky
And count the stars
Thats shining in your eye
Just to dig it all an not to wonder
Thats just fine
And Ill be satisfied
Not to read in between the lines
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
And I will never, ever, ever, ever
Grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes
And your saint-like smile....
Beautiful isn`t it?

Four hours sleep. *twitch*

And - go whisky!

rainwolfkin:
maybe you can even pick more than one!
Dont you hate those nights when you go out with every intention of at least getting mildly tipsy and end up back home stone cold sober? 
But at least I did get to meet Bateman (charming even when pissed) and Rainwolfkin (gorgeous). Anaphalaxis cried off. Something to do with being in bed. Although he didnt say with whom.
Please go and sympathise withBateman....

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Wow, great poem. I may to look up some more.
That sounds like some great conversation. It reminds me of my typical coffeehouse conversations. Well, except the torn foreskins--I have never heard of this before and it sounds owie owie owie.

I'm heading out on the beer with Bateman and company.
*checks supplies of Nurofen*
Pray for me.
We'll be in the Slug and Lettuce on Wardour Street from 7.30pm if anyone wants to catch us up.
Otherwise I'll see you when I re-surface tomorrow.

My friend Jasmine gave me one of those charity wristbands that have become so popular recently. It's a white one for the "Make Poverty History" campaign.
I did a bit of research on the internet and found out that some schools in this country have banned children from wearing charity wristbands because they're consider them a health and safety risk. See this article

Whay-hay! Fight outside my house. Three riot vans and a squad car full of coppers attempting to keep the peace between warring chavs.
You cant pay for entertainment of this quality. I'm going to have to stay up past pub closing time a bit more often.

Indeed, rated Pg and containing scenes of mild peril.
Personally I've found buy-to-let to be the key to prime entertainment.
The neighbour on one side was arrested and taken off to help with the enquiries; his predecessor there was a cop who got his bottle-blonde liveinlover pregnant and then desserted her and went back to his other girlfriend up North whilst leaving the wife and the kids here to get on with it.
Meanwhile the neighbours on the other side suddenly got busy at am one morning when all these cops turned up in latex gloves creeping around like a bunch of six year olds. Apparently they were looking for drugs. It would have been a good idea if they'd brought some boltcutters with them to get in the garage. It took them an hour and a half to get one of their mates to find a pair.
Next week on The Bill ........

Well, after a fortnight in which I have:
* caught and recovered from bronchitis
* caught and recovered from a stomach infection
* spent much of the last 4 days an emotional train wreck due to a combination of hormones, bad memories and current emotional crap
* caught out a friend in a whopping lie after I offered to help them with what turned out...

I wore my heart on my sleeve and have been made to feel like a fool.
Is being honest with a friend too much to ask for these days?
