"Australia" looks so awful. So so awful.

What Catherine Means
|
You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.
You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.
Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Last night I watched City of God, and tonight Transamerica. Both were excellent. I found Transamerica sexier, which worries me slightly.

Today I was in the superdrug at Elephant and Castle. Two "ladies" were looking at the perfume, and one said "Britney has a new perfume", to which the other replied, in genuine amazement "she can't do, she's not right in the head!"
I had to leave, I couldn't keep a straight face.

it's saturday night and i am watching high fidelity and working. i went to an ace party last night, but now i really have to do some work.
i forgot how good high fidelity is. I am nicer in relationships than john cusack's character, which is nice, but i am pretty sure the people i go out with are not, which is not so nice.
still that's life. moral superiority is never a real victory, being right is always painful.
back to work.

I may go for a date on Tuesday. But he's a latino house dj. I don't know how far outside my comfort zone I am comfortable with, but he seems nice enough and he looks a bit like Damon Albarn when I am in a drunken haze. Plus he said my hair was like fire, which was nicer at 2am. This is going to be another exercise in uncomfortable futility.

Today someone told me that Leonard Cohen played an amazing show but didn't play Chelsea Hotel. Surprised, I said "I didn't realise you were there too!" "Oh, I wasn't, but I READ all about it".

So Lenny was amazing. I will stop talking about it soon. I am trying to decide if I want to try to find a way to afford to go to The Big Chill to see him, The Mighty Boosh, and The Buzzcocks, because on the one hand the concert was so perfect, I wouldn't want to spoil it, on the other hand it was fun, why wouldn't I want to do it again?
It's been quite an amazing few days, nice to have a life back. I've come close to thinking about "The Future" lately, and I am not very good at it. I am becoming increasingly terrified of having to get a nine to five job, but I think I should be able to escape it. Love, sex, health, family, money... I can think it out as much as I can think, but I'm starting to realise that there's often nothing stupider than people who think they are being clever, myself especially. What fools these mortals be :-)

What albums should I listen to?
I am listening to Bagsy Me by The Wannadies, which is really showing my age. I just worked out how long ago it was that I bought this album. I need some new music.

Werner Herzog's voice could be the best naturally occurring aphrodisiac in the world.
That said, I don't necessarily fancy the rest of him, but his voice makes my body purr and vibrate at a more pleasant frequency.
Two more essays to go!

I've used up all my creative brain. All I have left is the non creative side. I am trying to send a flirty text reply, and I have no idea what to say. Whatsoever. And now I am just getting resentful of being put in this situation. I have nothing to say. I can't say anything too naughty, and I don't know how not to be direct with this sort of thing. "Give me something to think about till I see you" he says. What the hell do I say to that???? Other than, actually I can't see you this week, I've got too much stuff on, now. I hate this. I am so crap at this. I am going to find me a wife and leave it at that.

i have started doing a lot of night time activity. not exciting debauched stuff, just been having very strange vivid dreams, then when i wake up things have moved around.
also, i have these funny finger bruises on my arms. i am not drinking much, so i know they are not from anyone else, and they fit my midget hands perfectly... which means either we have a poltergeist or i am doing weird things to myself in my sleep. the thing is, they keep getting worse everyday. so either some one grabs me in exactly the same way every day (chance would be a fine thing) or i really have to start videoing my sleep and tracking my sleep patterns.

All last week I was chatting with the camera assistant, Nick, about everything and anything under the sun. Last Friday night he rang me, drunk, to follow up a conversation we'd had about Boris and to tell me he was walking down to county hall to congratulate Boris, what should he bring? I said "a brick".
So on Saturday Nick was at the same party as me. It turns out he's actually a tory. The realisation came at about 4am, when we were descending into the "how many people can you think of who voted for Boris?" conversation. All this time I just thought he was joking. It's a strange revelation. A bit like in Grosse Point Blank when Martin's friends realise that he's not joking about being a hitman.

| Strange Days |
[12 Apr 2008|02:32am] |
This afternoon when I looked out of the window it was beautiful- sunny and blue. I walked a block before a flash flood so strong that I had to put my sunglasses on to protect my eyes from the hail. It hailed so hard that it got between my leggings and my boots.
My hair caught fire on set. It went up in flames. The wardrobe girl said "For a second I thought you were going to end up like Michael Jackson" and I remembered I dreamt about Michael Jackson last night. An omen.
I have had one of those days where every cat in the area decides they are in love with me. On set I had three different cats on my lap, everytime I sat down a new one would come. I locked myself out of the flat about twenty minutes ago, and when I was walking home one cat starting purring at my ankles, so I sat on the road to pat it, and then the next thing I knew there were five. Two started fighting, so I punished them both and then there were three.
This is not a good omen. It means THINGS are going to happen. I love cats, but this stuff always comes just before scary life changing events, it's like they are trying to prepare me with cuddles for the bad things ahead.
I will stay away from dangerous things for a bit.

| GRINDHOUSE - long live the cinema |
[09 Apr 2008|12:04pm] |
|
I went to see Grindhouse last night and it was awesome! I haven't seen the two films before, because I've been waiting for it to be shown properly, and it was absolutely worth the wait. Apparently Deathproof is much longer in its cinematic release version, and gets quite boring, in the Grindhouse version it's quite short and really works. It was great seeing the whole thing together, it was like a pantomime, the audience screams, and groans and laughs and claps the funny parts... very, very fun. I went into the cinema a ball of stress (over a lot of things) and came out still laughing hysterically, completely relaxed. I went with friends who'd all seen at least some of it before, and they were a little reluctant to go because of that, but they said it was a completely different experience at the cinema, and loved it, which is a good reminder to me to go to the cinema more, because it is so intrinsically different to watching at home. This may go into the plan B options for my dissertation.

I am a director on a project that I neither wrote nor am producing. It rocks. I mean, there are creative differences and arguments. But right now I am playing on my laptop, and I am not allowed to do any work. I love it. Director for hire? That's me!

Veronica just texted me to tell me the Hawley Arms is on fire! The whole block is on fire! Where will they get extras for the Mighty Boosh now????
Not as far as the Dev apparently. Everyone pray for an Easterly wind.
