Of Flats
....or houses would actually be slightly more
appropriate. After spending the last few months living by myself I will
be having two new housemates enter the fray from June. I've really
enjoyed having the entire place to myself and I think I needed the
hiatus of having flat/house mates around to enjoy the peace and
rediscover (or discover) a few things that I'd forgotten or had never
found. The last time I'd properly lived by myself was when I was 18 for
about two years when I had the flat above the old Leisure Games site.
Then, after a brief stint with
ukmonty and Simon I enjoy the experience of having a bedsite for about 8 months before getting another house with
corone, Stig and Tina. Since then I've lived either with flat/housemates or in shared houses so having a break from that was nice.
Anyway, as of June I will be joined by two young ladies and two
kitty-kats. I've known them for a couple of years and we all reckon we
can live pretty well together and apart from anything else it'll be
nice to live with girls again. So Louisa and Jade will be joining me
along with cats Wookie and Jizz !! Roll on the summer (and extra cash
not spent on rent by myself!!!) :D
Of Famous Friends
It seems that I know Johnny Borrell from years back. For those
who don't know who he is he's the singer and guitarist of Razorlight -
who've had a string of hits recently in the UK (don't know if they've
made an impact in the US or elsewhere though?). In my youth I used to
frequent the famous 'Heath Parties' (well, famous in our little bit of
North London anyway ;p) and was (I've been told) one of the regulars at
these (memory is a bit sketchy about many of them...ahem). Anyway,
amongst the assortment of indy kids and rockers who attended was said
Mr Borrell and apparently, I've been reliably informed, we all knew
each other. I didn't realise it myself but it's highly possibly we did
but it was a long time ago and there were many scruffy looking kids
wandering around with beer cans and guitars back then! Plus he must
have been about 14-16 and you can change alot in the intervening
years.... Good on him though, glad he made it.
Of Feet
Regular readers will have noticed that I stumbed my toe this morning
(interesting life I lead isn't it when a stumbed toe becomes a Journal
entry!). Well, after surviving all day I finally took my socks and
shoes off and the toe is fairly bruised and slightly swollen. I don't
however think it's broken as much of the initial pain has gone and it
seems to wiggle fairly well without any pain. I'm taking this as a good
sign and will not be heading to the doc's about it. Of course if it
falls off in a few days you can say 'I told you so' and be all smug.
