Hey Hey It's The Weekend!
 

And so begins my quest to find out what everyone is doing.

I'm mostly doing boring stuff related to my (hopefully) forthcoming house move. Might go to the cinema if there's any light-hearted comedy on, might go walking in the countryside somewhere. A pretty un-rock'n'roll weekend.

gonna see can't aka jessica rylan today, possibly ninetynine on saturday and on sunday we're going to amusement park.

I don't work on friday so I'm up, Hang out with my sis since I haven't seen her,also study. I will go out with my boyfriend, on saturday after work,as well as studying, And sunday study before and after work.

I'm spending the weekend at a friend's house and tomorrow we are going to a a party/gig in Kennington.We'll take it from there i,guess.

I'm planning to spend some time with my gf, go out, get wasted and generally chill out a bit after a hectic week. (shit, I don't even remember a week that WASN'T hectic recently).

Today I'm going to clean up appartment, wash my clothes, listen to some music. I'm listening to The Gun Club - Danse Kalinda Boom rigth now, and I'm thinking about making a Gun Club mix to bring at a party I'm going to tonigth. Cause music at parties use to suck.

I have job interview today. Tonight a friends band is playing in the back of his pick-up truck before a football game. It should be fun.

Tomorrow, I dunno what's going on. Possibly going to a car auction or maybe going to some hardcore show in the cities.

Sunday, homework and sleep.

I'll be doing nothing, other than waiting for my CDs from Amazon to be delivered.

What did you order?

Silver Jews-American Water
Animal Collective-Spirit They've Gone Spirit They've Vanished/Danse Manitee
Vashti Bunyan-Another Diamond Day
Devendra Banhart-Rejoicing in the Hands.

Cool. I havent heard any of those records, but getting new records is always a thrill. How is the Silver Jews? I've heard about them, but I've never checked them out.

I really like the songs I have heard. But this'll be my first album from them. They are good, I definitely recommend them.

Yes yes yes.We were listening to this last night while drinking vodka and chatting at my mate's house.Excellent album.

Yes. Vashti is wonderful.

That Devendra record is brilliant as well.

yeah, vashti rules, animal collective too.

not for me.

tomorrow morning (saturday) i am flying to new york and i will be visiting friends who live there and going out with them tomorrow night. sunday i'm going to the patti smith show at cb's.

It begins today with driving to my son's college to pick him up. It's his birthday tomorrow. That will involve cake, dinner out, and other happy things. Then Sunday afternoon we'll drive him back to college, drop him off at the dorm, and, with tears in our eyes, slowly start back down the road to our empty little nest. During all this, I'll occassionally feel a twinge of envy over the thought of Cantankerous going to NYC and seeing Patti Smith in cb's. But this too will pass.

I hope you aren't serious?

"empty little nest"?

last show ever is sunday (the one i'm going to), closes on halloween for good.

i hope i can get into the dictators show tomorrow night. i really, really want to go to both.

Well, yeah. It is empty. You know, the "empty nest syndrome," and all that. Or is that just an American thing? Means when your kids are grown and gone.... empty house, just you and your spouse. No? Of course, we have the Golden Retrievers. Those two clowns keep us pretty happy.

i don't want any kids. my cats are big enough babies.
the thing is, i don't mind watching them once a week or so because i can return them to their rightful owners.

Blissful childlessness and a perpetual arrested state of teendom for me too.


Tonight I have a costume party to go to.
Strangely enough for a fashion victim-type like myself, I don't really enjoy getting all costumed up for a party. I love Halloween of course, but costume parties are kind of funny for me. Still, I'm sure I'll have a good time.

What are you going as?

Nothing too interesting.
Death guy.
I have a very nice full head skull mask that I haven't used in years, some skeleton gloves and of course the now-infamous cape.
I'm painting my face in skull style too, as I know I will take off the mask eventually.

Nobody say the obvious.

The obvious?

nothing.

Sorry, I fully expected the Phil Clonelins/Simon Le Bon revival.

they usually don't dress like the crypt keeper.

or a big

The only thing that's obvious is the total predictability and non-originality of my hack-level "costume."

Well, if you've got a full head skull mask to hand, it'd be a shame not to use it once in a while.

Indeed.
I think parts of it faintly glow in the dark too.

Sonicl, I am old enough to know that reference and whenever I am in your country I am going to give you a sound thrashing.

I don't care!

Sal Solo!
Feel the baldness!
Relish his pointy guitar!
Buy some more dry ice.

I think CHOUT made one once.
A few people here have some pretty amazing setups.
I have a major studio overhaul project in my near future as well.

I'm an American and I've never heard it. Granted, I don't hang out with whiny ass aging hipster all too often.

Some art galleries and a bit of shopping tomorrow, a walk on Sunday.
