Month: February 2001

still not solved the parcel mystery – will be going to the sorting office later this morning to pick it up.

On the subject of Wallpaper*, take a look at the Dior ad about three or four pages in from the front. Very striking (but then I am a single heterosexual male!).

even Wallpaper* gets in on the act of taking the piss out of George “Dubya” – take a look at the “view from” cartoon inside the back cover of the new issue…it depicts moving-in day at the White House, with chaos everywhere and huge Wal-Mart delivery trucks everywhere, peopled by guys in leathers, stetsons and bad moustaches. Made me smile.

I was wondering if maybe I should try and set up a subset of the ukbloggers community for nocturnal bloggers – those insomniacs amongst the group, who, like me, occasionally feel the urge to bare their soul to the world at 1am. anyone interested?

on a brighter note, I’m listening to Radio One‘s Global Transmission programme (Thursdays 12midnight to 2am), and Luke Vibert is playing a set – jolly and slightly silly electronic music from the sixties, seventies and eighties – sounds like a cross between the Clangers and the theme from Paddington. Brilliant.

Feeling really really depressed this evening – missing you-know-who like…well, I think you know.
Got a card thorugh my door today from Royal Mail telling me that they tried to deliver a parcel. Will go and pick it up from the sorting office tomorrow. I’m not actually expecting a parcel from anyone, but I have a pretty good idea what it is and who it’s from, and just know that it is going to make me really really really sad.
It would actually be good to get through a day without crying.

I’ve been offered a job – kinda. I have more questions than answers at the moment though.

went to the bar last night – not many people out that I knew, although the place was busy with couples going into the restaurant for meals. Had a chat with Paul S and Claudie, but that was about it.
Have been mulling over Saturday’s events and am increasingly convinced I swore at the wrong person.
Probably out again tonight – I just need the company.

forgot to put in yesterday’s TPL update (strangely, my mind was elsewhere): 18 points (lousy) taking my total to 664.

well, the good news is that I’ve not lost that other important friend – she’s fairly pissed off with me, but she’s not going to desert me forever, which is a relief. I think she knows that I’m sorry – guh, I’m useless.
on a plus point, a kind soul has sent me virtual bouquet for Valentine’s Day, so that’s cheered me a bit.
and the sun is shining.
and I’ve had a bar of chocolate.
ok – life could be better, but equally it could be a hell of a lot worse too.
now – let’s get on with the rest of the day…
