| | dandy on the Underground i've spent a lot of this week travelling about London. to Old Street for Vice on Monday, and Ladbroke Grove for XL Tues & Thurs. I went to Great Pulteney Street in a taxi on Tuesday evening, with twenty crates of beer in the back. i ate chocolate & freaked out to an extent. later that evening, I got the tube back to Putney Bridge, then to the TCR to meet The Best Friend (more on that later for some reason). then i stayed in bed until 4pm when i got the tube back to Putney Bridge. then on Wednesday i went to Islington, then to Turnpike Lane, then back to Ladbroke Grove. today i'm going back to Islington.
while i was cleaning out Falaise (which already seems an age ago) i came across loads of my diaries. I leafed through one or two, and one of the bits that made me laugh (and is printable) was me berating myself for "this Dashiell Hammett smackhead look" i was cultivating. that made me chuckle. currently, i CAN NOT STOP listening to Elevator by Flo Rida & Timbaland. I put it on by accident yesterday while going for an evening walk (i walked to Barnes, got bitten by a weird bug) and just haven't turned it off since. i think it's because it doesn't seem to make any sense; it's got like fifteen different bits, and sometimes they all go on at once. also, it's SO Timbaland-By-Numbers- which, if i'm honest, i like. anyway, i also had an afternoon wander. on my afternoon walkabout yesterday, I rang Boot. i think the sun got to my head, I was acting really weird when he called back. sorry about that, Boot. i have no idea why. it could be due to the stress of my dress being constantly blown around by the wind. boo. anyway- my walk was fantastic. i went all over Putney, a bit of Barnes & Fulham, and a quick dash into S. Ken. didn't manage to get many good snaps, but whatev. bought myself a bit of stuff. very nice black headphones, a ton of newspapers & magazines, a Starbucks lunch and SuperBad on DVD. went to a few clothes shops but can't find anything i like more than the stuff i've already got. it's soo nice having moolah at the moment.
i've recently set up http://www.flickr.com/photos/estdonnelly/ and it's soo fun.
(i don't know why i ever look at PostSecret anymore. it annoys me SO much)
what a good week i've had. it seemed to go on for a long time. on Monday, i had a fun day at Vice. i'm not going in tomorrow unfortunately, but i will be working all day on articles. and an interview with some psychics, over the phone. they asked when i was going to call them. i should have asked them when i was going to call them (hur hur). anyway, monday was tiring but fun. i'm still such a nervous person at times. on Tuesday, i had a smashing day at XL. helped out with the Cool Kids instore performance, which was fucking mint. had a beer and stood outside (caught a glimpse of M.I.A. omgz!!) for a while. was really fun. got a text from The Best Friend asking about Panic that evening, so i went to the TCR and met her there. it was a quality night out. got absolutely wired with my favourite marra, that was cracking. danced to Bob Dylan as well, wahey. missed Head of Music terribly, which was no fun AT ALL. i'm so jealous of his travels.
so i stayed in bed the next day, because we'd got in at 5am. later that day. i went to Islington with The Best Friend to a night put on by some guys from XL. it was quality. i was exhausted.
i'm looking forward to next going into XL. hopefully there will be a copy of the new Friendly Fires album knocking about that i can listen to. i'm properly obsessed with them.
i'm reading a book at the moment (the first time i've been into a shop to buy a book for tiiiime, son.) called Dandy In The Underworld by Sebastian Horsely. it's an 'unauthorised autobiography,' that made me laugh too much. it is fucking hilarious. i don't think i'd like to emulate Sebastian very much. but i do admire him. he's like a noncuddly Russell Brand.
i'm rather excited- got a bit of a trip to Egham necessaire. got to work out my entry for best female for SRA, and then of coruse find somewhere to stay for Graduation. eeshk.
ooooh another thing i've been doing all week (i seem to be developing all these fixations & projects. it's to keep my mind off the fact that i've got THREE WEEKS before i see Head of Music again. BAH!) is watching Criminal Justice. find it on BBC iPlayer. it's INCREDIBLE. i'm genuinely fascinated by Ben Whishaw. he's beautiful & doesn't seem human. i really want to watch that picture Perfume, because the book is quality. i also really want to get There Will Be Blood and I'm Not There on DVD. aren't i arthouse? no. the last DVD i bought was SuperBad.
Doctor Who last night. i was mega excited about it, as in MEGA SQUEEE. to be honest, i didn't love hte last episode. i thought Donna's ending was a mega cop-out, really disrespectful to Catherine Tate after all her hard work. it's incredible- i genuinely despise all of CT's work pre-Doctor Who (can't believe i just wrote that phrase) but now i adore her for what she did as Donna. and Billie's managed to cock up all the excitingness & intrigue of Rose's previous charcter, in two quick episodes. i really can't stand Rose unless it's with Christopher Eccleston.
falalalaaaa what to do now? watch Eastenders. Gemma Bisix is the WORST actor on earth. maybe i'll eat another Weetabix. i'm excited about Islington with The Gent tonight. might go to Hyde Park first, if the weather clears up. the wind is the wind is in my heart... muchlove xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "four naan, Jeremy? four?" |
