Adventures in Camden Town
2008-04-05 20:30:00 I can’t believe that it’s taken me nearly a week to write about my meeting with the saxy sailor. My only excuse is that I’m mentally exhausted right now. I can’t focus on anything for long. Anyway I met G at Euston Station, and we went into a nearby cafe for a cup of tea. I don’t know what I was expecting, honestly, but he was just like he’d described himself. I hate these blind date kind of meetings, where you’re waiting at the designated meeting place, looking at any guy who could possibly be that person and wondering if it’s going to be the guy with the walking stick who’s limping and looks about 70… Luckily it wasn’t the septuagenarian who greeted me. I was very nervous at first, almost as skittish as when that male stripper said hello to me after the show… But after a cup of tea I felt a bit more like myself. From Euston we walked to Camden Town , and walked around the market and the assorted shops in that... More About: Adventures
4 Minutes
2008-04-04 23:53:00 Madonna. Justin. Timbaland. 4 Minutes . I’m not loving this one, guys. Funny cos I love each of these artists, but the song isn’t about anything really. 4 minutes to save the world from what? These guys are only saving me from buying this single. It’s catchy and all, but I’m not feeling the faux-brass riff going on in the background, and the video is a bit disturbing with all those yucky flesh cutouts. That snog was nasty! Madonna looks amazing though, some are saying that she was airbrushed, but I don’t know… professional makeup can hide anything… Related PostsThe web freeze continuesUp Yours, EurostarI can’t quite believe what just happenedYou play it for her, you can play it for mestill aching!
Inner Beauty
2008-04-01 21:02:00 My favourite singer, Mariah Carey, arrived at Mayfair at 2.30am this morning and greeted a large crowd of adoring fans. The eccentric diva was wearing just a black bin liner under her jacket, and clutched a copy of the Big Issue magazine, which she’d purchased from a homeless man outside Selfridges. When asked about her unusual outfit, she told reporters: “Looks aren’t important, it’s what’s inside that counts. My job is to sing, not to be a sex object. The music business is so superficial, and I’m using my position to take a stand against it.” Good on ya, girl!

Red Arrows
2008-04-01 14:28:00 Just caught the Red Arrows (Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team) flying over the London Eye. It was amazing; suddenly I heard the sound of those powerful engines approaching from behind, then they appeared, trailing red and blue coloured smoke behind them. I had my camera with me, but wasn’t able to take a pic as it was all so fast. They were flying over London to celebrate their 90th anniversary. Now I wanna see a proper air show.

Trying
2008-03-28 15:26:00 I went to work this morning, but had to come home as I wasn’t feeling well. On and off since Wednesday night I’ve been feeling a tightness in my chest, plus aches and pains in my back. I’d hoped that the discomfort would ease by itself, but it got so bad earlier that I had to call the doctor. I’ve got an appointment with a GP in a couple of hours. My mother was worried when I got home, but predictably one of the first things she said was that it could be due to my weight. She then mentioned her theory that it could be down to work-related stress… I just told her that I wanted to check it out with the doctor, there wasn’t any point in talking about possible causes before my appointment. Of course, one of the reasons that I tried to put off going to the doctor was because I’m starting to feel that they won’t take any of my symptoms seriously until I’m slim. I was quite upset after my last appointment with a GP because she didnR...
The Art of Not Doing
2008-03-27 21:42:00 It’s true what they say: If you want something done, ask a busy person. Two years ago I was that busy person, and I got so much done. Now I’m working part-time, and I can barely get out of the bed these days. Time, like money, is a luxury, and like money it can be squandered unwisely. I’ve haven’t been to work for the past nine days, and my only real achievements during that time are watching Heroes Season 2 and a few eps of Weeds Season 2. I can’t be totally surprised as I didn’t have a plan. Without a plan it’s easy to succumb to the temptation of daytime television, random websites and calls from sailors instead of concentrating on moving forward with my life. My birthday has become a time when I think about my life direction. Since my 25th birthday I’ve been stressing about my 30th. There’s still a part of me that feels that my life should be sorted by then, that I should have a flat and a creative career, regular holidays a...
The Sax Man
2008-03-25 19:21:00 Due to my recent money troubles I reluctantly decided to sell some of my gear, including my saxophone. I put an ad in Loot, plus another one in the Sound on Sound readers’ ads. One dark evening, on my way home from work, I received a call from a guy who was interested in my sax. He said that he’d been playing the saxophone for many years, and was working on a merchant ship. He said that he wouldn’t be able to buy the sax straight away, but he’d call me in a few weeks to see if it was still available. He sounded like a nice bloke, but after the other potential buyer turned out to be a timewaster I lost hope in selling the sax. A couple of weeks ago I had another call from the Sax Man, who was checking whether the sax was still available. I confirmed that it was, and he said that he’d have some money for it at the end of this month. I told him that I hadn’t advertised it since the last time, so I was quite confident that it would still be up for gr...

Another day at the office
2008-03-10 14:49:00 I couldn’t sleep last night, due in part to the awful storm which invaded our shores in the early hours. I’m sure that my tiredness has contributed towards my grumpiness, but the fact still remains that my job sucks right now. I’m really starting to feel trapped here. Vid: Working in a Coal Mine by Lee Dorsey Yesterday my mum commented on my work situation, and I confirmed that I thinking over the options available to me right now. I said that I didn’t want to work in an office anymore, and she laughed at me as if that was my only career option. Then she said, ‘Why don’t you become a nurse?’ Yet another indication of how little my mother really gets me. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a nurse, but I don’t see myself in that kind of caretaking role. My grandma was a nurse before she retired, and she has told me many times how hard it was for her. The truth is that I’m not a selfless person in that way. Plus I&... More About: Office , The Office

2008-03-08 19:34:00 The past couple of weeks have been pretty good. Work is still sucking, but there’s more to life than the 21 hours I spend there. To cut a long story short, I’ve won an electric guitar! I won it in an online contest run by a graphic design blogger, where there were several ways of entering, and somehow the fates chose me as the first prize winner. If you’re interested in the details the entire prize is a Squier Strat Electric Guitar by Fender (California Series), Instructional DVD, Electric Tuner, Guitar Strap, Guitar Stand, Gig Bag (Guitar Bag) by Fender, Guitar Cable and Picks. It’ll look something like this: So what am I going to do with my new axe? Well I used to play classical guitar in my teens, so I’ve got some very basic knowledge of chords and scales already. I plan to have some noisy fun with it and play along with my Aerosmith CDs (eventually). Maybe I’ll even start a rock band. My favourite geeky electronic band, Hot Chip, dedicated...
