Saturday, Schmaturday

This week so far has been great, considering how non-eventful my recent weeks have been.

Monday - nothing. Tuesday -nothing much. Wednesday - went to the Job Fair at the Corn Exchange in town. Wednesday night though... went to London. I just thought "sod it". I know I haven't got a job at the moment and money is starting to get a bit scarce, but I was trying to be optimistic. I could get a job next week, which means it wouldn't be so bad if I went out for one night this week and had a few (over-priced) drinks. Right?

We went to a club called Punk in Soho, London. It was decidedly un-punk from the outset. It was all bright pink backlit walls and bar, nicely upholstered furniture, beaded curtain-thingies and huge pop-art images of Madonna and George Clinton. And a Confessional Area. The DJ was playing Bros as we entered the club. A bit odd.

We were there to see The Indelicates. I love them, they just get better and better each time I see them. Julia's voice is so, um, pretty. That is the only word I can think of to describe it at the moment. I guess you should hear it for yourself. As I kinda said, they were great. And a special guest joined them onstage...look, it's Eddie Argos!

Apparently he was standing behind me for most of their set. I think I squealed in a most uncool way when alerted to this fact...

Anyway, pictures from that night are here. Check 'em.

The place was full of weirdly dressed scenester kids and Winehouse-a-likes. And a very "ironic" DJ. He was playing Buddy Holly, Herman's Hermits, Dirty Dancing soundtrack and Jive Bunny, as well as the afore-mentioned Bros tuneage. The kids were lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it...

We couldn't stay, had to get the train back. Damn unfortunate.

Um...hi!

Right, well. Er, this is all new isn't it?

I'm still not entirely sure why I've decided to do this. Maybe I've subconsciously realised I need an outlet for all the mind-blowing thoughts and ideas whirling around in the vortex that is my brain?

Or maybe just somewhere I can type everything out in a release/ closure kinda way?

Or maybe I just wanted to try it out and see what happened...to see if I could actually commit myself to something and keep it going?

Unfortunately, I think it's the latter...brace yourself, here come da nonsense!
