Got to meet Danny at the weekend, which was fab, even though we were both up waaay too early on the Saturday morning and so half dead for the day. Got rained on on the way back to the flat, had to hide up the back of the Colliseum as the path in front of us turned into a river. Escaped relatively unscathed, except for my right foot, which had become victim to a small lake in Old Compton Street. Had crepe and watched the world go by through the rain. We played gayspotting for a bit but that became dull due to the lack of not-gays. Wandered home. Sun. Pah. It was fucking sunny. And so we lay in the flat, in the sun, chatted, eventually started to get ready to leave again and the clouds gathered and a storm made itself known. Popped to the chicken shop, had a small meal-type thingy and then got the tube back to Hammersmith and Danny’s bus home. Wandered home via some buses (Ew. Can’t imagine why ANYONE would want to live in Kensington, if Kensington High Street is anything to go by). Stopped off in Oxford Street to look at the pretty pretty lights...wandered down to Virgin and bought some DVDs - Zoolander, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Leon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Edward Scissorhands, about 7 others...oops. Home and watched Zoolander (hysterically funny...and so many cameos...) and then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was fabulous. Forgotten how much fun Tim Burton films are. Noticed a cameo by two Jam people too, which was nice. So many references, so many little in jokes ("Oh my god, those teeth can’t be real!" and then 5 minutes later you discover his father was a candy hating dentist...) Johnny Depp was fantastic as Willy Wonka. Interesting to notice that Tim Burton was using the same digital smoothing effect for many of the shots as was used slightly more visibly in Ultraviolet... Bed earlyish about 5 minutes into the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film. Urgh. Up pretty early for some more working on Freakcityness beta. Fiddled with some graphics a bit and fixed the CSS so it all works correctly when previewing themes on the settings page. Got the bus to Spitalfields and bought coffee and then headed to Stratford to buy some bits and bobs. Bought 100 CD-R and looked at prices for bits for my PC. Bought some food. Bought an A0 plastic frame for my SuninPoster. Tried to buy black bedlinen but there was NONE! Bah. Got home and set about hacking up the huge SuninPoster to fit my frame, managed to do a reasonable job I think, considering I’d never done it before. TJ was amused. Hammered things into walls until I’d managed to put the poster up - looks pretty good in there. Moved my sunset pic to the hall. Am thinking about getting another filing cabinet set to use for PC bits and bobs, my old silver box is getting a little battered and a filing cabinet would double as a lovely table in the livingroom. Possibly. I’m also about to eBay lots more VHS tapes. So if anyone wants them before I do, let me know? I have such gems as Kate Bush - the Line the Cross and the Curve Jurassic Park I and II box set Terminator II Buck Rogers (!!) Spawn Morrissey - Hulmerist U2 - Rattle and Hum U2 - Zooropa Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Possibly some odds and sods of B5 I might make a toy for freebies in the beta... keep biting the inside of my lip.
