Listening to The Hours again.

Might have mentioned this before, but I always feel there's something very (early) Triffids about Narcissus Road (the song, not the album as a whole) and a couple of the other tracks...

As requested by [livejournal.com profile] lostdreamer666...

If you're in the UK, this Sunday is Mother's Day.

The Levellers are playing Leipzig this year. No, really...

Heh. What's the betting they get to play the bagpipe night at the Agra, then? :)

Aviemore Gothic Weekend (6th - 8th July 2007)

I need to check my schedule, but I could certainly be persuaded...

Life is very good indeed this weekend.
  • I have a dining table. Set up in a dining room. This brings me joy.
  • I've just seen Hot Fuzz. Surprisingly bloody at times, but rather good.
  • I have new and useful Kitchen Stuff. Including a proper pestle & mortar.
  • I cooked Sunday lunch for [livejournal.com profile] misstemperance, [livejournal.com profile] mrbear and Elaine (WINOLJ). It was a little late, but turned out well. Celeriac & chili gratin is a bizarre but strangely addictive concept, btw. :)

So...

Part of Tony Blair's reaction to recent shootings is to consider criminalising gang membership. Right. Ok.

Somehow I feel that this might be tricky to prove/disprove/enforce.

It seems that Tinariwen have a new album out. And they're playing Warwick Art Centre soon.

Oysterband also have a new album out. They're playing Birmingham in a week or two.

I blame [livejournal.com profile] mister_jack. As usual.

Not for the whole weekend, but he is responsible for quite a bit of it. Including some of the good bits, such as watching Top Gear visit Alabama...

Still in London. B-Movie was a great deal of fun (and it was good to see various unexpected folk again...!). Lunch at St. John was also rather good - and it [livejournal.com profile] ninshubur's gathering last night was very good indeed, especially as I haven't seen folks in far too long...

And drinking La Fin Du Monde was also quite pleasant. First time I've seen it on sale in the UK - the last time I drank that evil, evil stuff was Convergence 8 in Montreal... :)

Home soon.

I'm in London. In an hour or two, I'll be heading off to B-Movie. It's going to be a silly weekend. There may be quotes.

I've mentioned Brian Haw before. Probably as an example of just how ridiculous our lawmakers can sometimes be. After all, it's not everyone who gets their own personal law, is it?

Well, he was back in court again today. He won. Heh. Result. It won't be the end of it, of course, but still...

"We did want to interview someone from Channel 4, but they declined to come on"

Edit: "First we had no luck with Channel 4. Now we're having no luck with the Attorney General either". Heh. He's enjoying this, isn't he? :)

Context is everything )

It's ok, the game doesn't actually exist. Well, not verifiably. According to Wikipedia, that is.

Sorry.
