hello world
gosh what a lovely background i have! purrr. has made me quite happy. thanks to the background pixie. and now im considering the possibilitys of hoverboards like in thundercats yknow what wilykit/kat had...

so yeah somehow managed to get a badger out and done even tho i had to stay well late on thurs to do it. hugely controversial issue heh heh well i have to annoy people somehow i guess.

plan b stuff is trotting along nicely also, am quite excited about the prospect of a dead brothers album to review, and rough trade sending me some jeffrey lewis (and detroit cobras? who knows...)

so london was...well, london. im not sure therell ever be a suitable adjective to describe london. it just is, its a self contained sel perpetuating entity.

went to a couple of talks, one on false culture divides with speakers from palestine, israel, lebanon and iraq, and one on climate change and one on moments of excess. missed the schnews party would you believe, by falling asleep on my bedroom floor right next to the bed. grrr. even had a ticket. even bought it that day!

the demo was okay peaceful and not too long. i hate bastard police taking pics of me tho, its not that ive done anything i just resent that assumption of guilt, that u have or will do somethiong. that they need your face on file.

ran into justin, zoe, peter in the black bloc which was nice, and bizarrely it turned out that the ellie joel was squatting with for the weekend was the ellie i know. weird coincidence....

had quite a blag-filled friday, the corporation in the morning at the dukes with beth, followed by electrelane in the evening with grilly and me julie, vip and free booze all night. was pretty fine. and i even managed to palm off reviewing the events onto beth and grilly (thanks guys).

this left only a meagre couple of hours in the afternoon to do my reading for yesterdays presentation so it overlapped onto the esf trainjourneys.quite an amusing presentation actually. i based my whole argument - on can the subaltern speak, with regards to this novel kanthapura - on the idea that the answer was yes as the author, raja rao, was a woman.

whats the first question when i finish? 'wasn't raja rao a man?' o yes. apparently so. cue major backtracking and a huge amount of embarressment. i think im doing well.

house party at ours saturday do come along it will be at least diverting. jim wants it to be fancydress, what do u want it to be?

my mums coming on thursday. i might even have a washing machine thursday. mummy and clean clothes. it doesnt get much better.
