So THATS who Dr. Johnson is.
Sweet Christ.
There I was, wearing nothing but my briefs and a pair of boxing gloves, pounding the crap out of a scrawny loon from Ghana who was similarly clad, when his girlfriend (a 19-year-old from Maine who doesn't dare tell her family that she's dating a black man in London) tackled me from behind and sent me down. I twisted as I was falling...

Smart tattoo. And you had quite a week!
I saw The Damned & Sham 69 in the listings - which i wouldn't have minded seeing if I'd been aware of it a few weeks ago - but didn't realise all those other old-school punk bands were on too
. Or was that a different show? the one I noticed was either the Astoria or Mean Fiddler (can't remember all the names these days). One hell of a gig anyway. How long did it run for?
Have a good Christmas (once you've got over the flight)
See you in the new year then - sans injuries I hope
Have a good one (& if you are online over there watch for yet another name change (just for Christmas )
Ciao

Tattoo is finished, pics up soonish. Looks fucking awesome.
Bank account is overdrawn ... oops. Should have made this phone call to my broker a few days ago. Now I've got 38 to get me through til I can make a stock sale, wait for the trade to settle, and get the cash wired to my account. All this could take up to 2 weeks....

Should have done this request sooner, congrats on the job and great seeing you again Saturday.
So the big surprise of the weekend was that I got absolutely spannered at the SGUK meet-up.
Oh, wait ....
Anyways
Got my nipple piercings stretched up to 4ga on Sunday. Going to stretch my navel to a 6ga after the tattoo is all finished and healed, which I'm finishing on Thursday. The chick that stretched me (can never remember her name) has two enormous...

you... were drinking? 
this entire weekend was a beer fest... gave me a bad boiler... this weekend will be more of a vodka kind of week, need to lay off the hops and barley for a bit...
full on drinking season is almost over anyway, i don't party as much when the snow falls... nothing worse than being hung on the hill.

Jesus Mary and good old Joseph!!! Dont know how you could stay up that late on sun!
Well I had a hangover up untill yesterday. Got a courtorder (courtesy of my liver) which prevents you from coming near me with a drink within 50 metres. So there!
Well how did the reading go then?

Working at the Ship is hilarious. More on that another time.
Skipped Sick of it All / Slapshot tonight ... 17.50 is just too much. I love SOIA but I've seen them enough times in the past. The only real draw for me was Slapshot, who I've wanted to see for 15 years, but I'll wait til I go back to the States and don't...

hm, not sure if marie looks like me, its difficult to say from my own perspective, but she's certainly very pretty! wow, she starred in many popular films! most of her recent ones have been recommended by my sister!
I want to get an amulett done that I lost, at the back of my neck. its three cats entwined like snakes in black, if you want to look, here scroll down the page, its on the left, #189. it won't let me post the pic, probably protected.
I wanna go and talk to the guys from into you tomorrow, cakemix recommended them to me. ever been there? where did you get yours done?

Hey there o evil one! You are the nemesis of my liver!! I almost died at work today, at one point I just felt like cowering in a little corner and pray to Jebus (as homer would say) to come and take me.
Food poisoning sucks. Looks like I'm about over it, though, luckily. Between 9pm Friday and 5pm Saturday, I did nothing but lay in bed ... in between trips to the bathroom. I felt a little better last night and slipped off to the Ship around 8.30 or 9, but was home by 11.30, and the rest of the night passed about the same way as...

Well, saw the Hentchmen play a couple great sets Monday night, and went out boozin' with them the next night. Was really cool seeing friends from home. They're coming back to London Monday or Tuesday after spending a few days playing around the UK.
Last night in a fit of drunken foolishness, I was offered and accepted a job at the Ship.
No, I'm serious...

i want to go to london... maybe next summer for some maria-wimbledon action...
kopper:
ah drunken foolishness.... some of my best choices have been made during that time period.... luckily i'm half way there right now.. pre-birthday binging has begun..
a stomach tattoo sounds more painful than sit-ups... i'd rather have sand kicked in my face at the beach... tattoos are more of a commitment than i can make... i can barely choose a favourite beer.. i've alaways liked the kraftwerk robots though... maybe i could live with them.,..
fatherhood is treating me fairly well... luckily the kid won't be able to talk shit about me for years.... and by then i'll be senile anyway... i'll be telling her to stay away from scott baio...
death to the liver!

Well, ok, it's been, what, a week or so since I've updated? I've lost track. I don't have net access at home, and the UK is so damn difficult to get anything done that I probably won't have until I move back to the States. Christ, they want to know your whole life history just because you want to sign up for broadband...

Thanks for the song. Duly stashed amongst my bits & pieces. I know of that song - but only the title; I have never heard it, that I know of (Thinks ...) .Didn't the Pogues do it? I know they did the one I posted - but, having seen them live (Shane McGowan era) I could have heard it & not realised.
Good news on your alcohol intake then. Keep it up.

good evening sir... seems like i may have missed a thing or two.. i'll have to flip through the back issues here..
my liver has seemed to make an astounding recovery over the last year.. moderation is a new concept for me.. haven't seen any show, much less a good one, for quite some time..
warm pudding.... hilarious.

Late Saturday night:
Well, tonight I did much better. On the advice of a good friend (thank you, Aosoth), I left the house with only 20, promising myself that when it ran out, I'd just go home. I came home with exactly 4.30, the price of a double whiskey at The Ship, so I came in under budget. Not only that, but I could have...

Alright, God damnit, thats just enough, or too much yeah, too much.

Maybe this girl will start giving you shit whenever you drink too much. Sometimes not wanting to let folks down is what keeps me out of trouble.
