Told you that I'd show you some film pictures

Here's my favourite:

Fact:

It took me 2 and a half litres of white cider to find the courage to write my first blog post.

And now, somehow, I can't shut up.

Addictive shit.

In a nostalgic mood, wondering how on earth I survived my first year of university. 

It wasn't pretty- mean, my head did explode.

and gain an unhealthy dependence for alcohol in all of it's forms:

but it was good fun. Bring on year two, only about 3 months of holiday left!

So yes, I'm pretty busy.

It's nice to feel wanted for a bit, spending loads of time sorting out recording projects and my life in general- and heading up to London to grab some gear back this week. Is all good.

I'm a bad boyfriend. Well no, that's a lie- I'm a good boyfriend, but I have a bad habit.

Girlfriendcat works a lot, her hours are both unsociable and confusing for any of us who have not yet entered the realms of full time work. This means she doesn't get a lot of free time, especially to see people and go out. So I, being the super nice boyfriend that I am, often find myself saying:

So it's left at that. A week later, I ask her what we're doing on Monday and she says that she's booked in a little time with her best friend. Alone. And although I've trained myself so well, it slips out. The lip quivers, and the puppy dog eyes arrive.

Yes, I have a dark jealous side too. I pretend that I'll spend the whole day alone, but we both know it'll be fine and I'll have a man friend over to keep me company or something. However, this is filed under the "Another reason I'm lucky she's as mad as I am" folder, she puts up with me well. 

Guess what, I got a freakin' Twitter account. Well, another freakin' Twitter account because I deleted the last one. It still sucks, I don't have THAT much to say. You all know that, how long's it been since the last post? Like 2 weeks? The haters should be hatin' on that. Anyway, Sunday morning shower ahoy- catch you guys later.

I'm alive

and busy, and uninspired to draw things. I like to think that if I don't have anything good to say then I shouldn't be posting, but this is an exception to the rule simply so I can banish my blog guilt for another few days. 

Nothing is funnier

than girlfriendcat's new Wii Fit board.

To begin with it's literally a look of:

which eventually leads to

girls are easy to convince.


* Short post today in memorial of my favourite local venues sudden closing, it has shocked us to our musical cores and it will be a hard space to fill. Here's to the 'box, and all of the amazing people inside of it.

Posting at my girlfriendcat's house may become more frequent

as there's still no usable internet at my place still, so only expect updates when I'm at hers! 

So Leopard have put out the green light on a new project, involving a shit ton of bands and a shit ton of work for basically no pay. It's going to be stupidly tough and earn us very little, but this portfolio could set us up extremely well- and give a little something back to the local music scene. These are exciting times, so I'm currently busying myself by trying to find the biggest bands I can to be part of the project and some suitable venues to try out our style of guerilla/sonic ambient recording! We only have about 3 months to get this done before we're expected back in London so we'd better get cracking, and we have to collect a small selection of things from the flat so I'm expecting to be skint from travel fees in no time. Bummer.

Nonetheless, you've missed relatively little- minus the college gigs I showed up to in support for those only a year behind me.

It was great, a bit of support from the locals and a really well played show for the most part. One artist had a bit of a stage meltdown, which was a shame- however it was all pulled together eventually and it made for some fine entertainment, alongside fine Tennessee whiskey. Heading back into the old college next week to check in with the head, and have a chat about some ideas alongside Tobe. It's nice to feel that even a year after we finished college, he's still kind of a lecturer.

Anyway, girlfriendcat's out of the shower now- so I'll be off to either play on the wii fit thing she bought so I can get buff, or off into town for the first time in ages! 

Mad times, haters.

The London trip didn't go well for posting, we went to Brighton and pulled another 35 hour one- then stayed at a friend's place. Watched Mad Men, drank enough energy drink to sink a horse.

Intrigued about our companions bath room, due to the dubious white marks on his floor.

Apparently due to how deeply he falls into a trance while brushing his teeth- in that he awakes two minutes later with the entirety of his arm covered in toothpaste/rabies foam and his floor covered in saliva/toothpaste/rabies foam- as if there was a difference. However, Brighton is a wonderful place and it was a stunning day so I will be back at some point! I can hit this site with some pictures when I get around to taking the films to Jessops.

So I'm back from London already- at girlfriendcat's house while she is sewing up a shirt of some sort. This is because she's one of those talented types who can fix things and not have to wear broken clothes due to sewing illiteracy. Actually, that phrase doesn't exist. But that's how bad I am at it.

I have a ton of music to be making, and the leopards have got many a plan to put together to try and get the useless bands of the South West to get off the fence and start recording on the cheap- so here's my little bit of selfish advertising:

LONDON

HEY THERE.
It's nice to be back, the flat already seemed nostalgic to walk through.
Maybe my drawing finesse will return over the next couple nights.
