Quiet weekend. Went out after work with some of the web team - then headed to Retro for more drinks with Owen, mage, bromleyben, alamac, dom, space_chicken and a few others who aren’t on the site...chatted lots about IRC sillyness, the state of the world, life and love. All split up to go to our respective homes/popstarz. I headed to the Swan to giggle at Sandra, then home. Had a chat with João and he sent me some silly mp3s of him pretending to be an orgasmic girl and something a fan had left on the site of the fan singing some of the band’s songs... Up at about 11 on Saturday for a day doing fairly much nothing cept chilling and chatting online. Decided to head off to Greenwich to do random pics of random stuff. Climbed to the top of the observatory...it’s an amazing view from up there...took many pictures... Home again for much online chatting goodness. Decided to sort out my PC a bit so I could plug my microphone in after João complained I had no mic when he tried to audio chat to me. Recorded a couple of songs...he was trying to teach me how to sing better when he was here, and so I’ve been practicing lots in the hope I’ll get better - and I think it’s working Also was going through some of my old tapes - found stuff that me and Mark did years ago as well as the old “Still Spin” rehearsal tapes that me and Matt did and some of the tracks me an the other band did...have many more tapes to go through, so will do more this week I think. Adam came back at around 11ish...chatted to him some then eventually went to bed Sunday was silly. Up early to tidy for my Mum+Stepdad to visit only to find out that they meant *next* weekend. So took Adam to Wing’s Buffet for much munchiness and also took the camera too and just wandered around taking pics of stuff. Adam’s been feeling unshiny lately and so we chatted lots too and generally chilled out muchly. I think we had fun. Well, I did. I think he did too. Have decided we need to find a willing victim then I’ll show Adam how to take photies Wing’s Buffet was full of many many big bottomed black women, which led me to think about how size is regarded differently across cultures, and how colour is relevant to that - Missy Elliot can be a fat ol shlag and get away with it solely because she’s black - and there are loads more where she came from...about the only fat popular artist white people have is that horrible “Michelle” thing - what’s up with that? Seems odd to me... Suspect we need some fat boybands Tidied a bit more when we got home - chatted some to people online. mattnottm apparently spent the weekend in the charming company of David Waldock. Poor fellow. David, being David, had to mention it in an email to the MT list - and email to a group of people that have no idea who mattnottm is mentioning that “/someone/ won’t be invited back again”. That guy is such a cock it’s untrue. Ah well, It made us giggle somewhat when he told us about it.
