Hrm... went out Friday to Synthetic Culture. Span my newly constructed glow-poi, which got some looks, so that was fun. Then the place filled up, and as I was having a particularly smoke-sensitive night, I had a bit of a crap time from there on. At one point I was ranting on this subject in the outside area and a guy walking past stopped to tell me that the last thing I'd said deserved quoting, so here it us:
"Goths and metallers are the last great hope of the cancer-stick industry"
Headed for home at 3am because [livejournal.com profile] lunernia was tired and I was fed up with not being able to breathe well enough to dance - unfortunately due to a complete lack of knowledge of night buses, we ended up not getting home until about 6:30am anyway - it would have been just as quick, and considerably cheaper and warmer, to hide in a corner of the club until it closed and then get the first tube home. Oh well.

Probably won't go back to SC until the summer, when I can avoid the smoke by going outside without freezing to death. On the other hand, if I have to spend all my time outside where I can't hear the music, then there's probably not much point in going at all.

Saturday was spent sleeping, eating pizza, and watching DVDs (Shaun of the Dead, and Wargames). Then there was more sleeping, and it was Sunday. My planned day-trip back to MK to tidy up odds and ends in my old house was called off as my brother-in-law has apparently flooded the house. Good job he's buying it really, or I'd be quite annoyed. To replace said day-trip, we watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the original movie).

While I remember... my drumkit is for sale, if anyone is looking for one, or knows anyone who is. It's an 8 piece Pearl kit, dual bass drum (some parts BLX, some parts Export - all gloss black). Oh I lie, the brass snare isn't Pearl, that's Premier. I also have some very nice Zildjian cymbals which I bought new and hence spent vast amounts of money on, which are still in very good condition. The whole lot is going for £1000, or you can buy just the drums for £500 or just the cymbals for £800 - full details on request, serious enquiries only please.

Complete the sentence: "If I hadn't met [livejournal.com profile] dennyd, I would never have ..."

My Buffy boxset arrived from play.com today... with ripped hinge points at top-rear and bottom-front, and a cut or score along one side panel. Not quite what I'd hoped for, so I guess I have to fuck around with returning it now.

By the way, it's a cheaply made piece of shit - even if I get an immaculate one, the only way to keep it that way will be to be extremely careful whenever removing a DVD set from it - the hinges for the lid and fold-down side panels are basically made of two thicknesses of paper.

On the other hand, the separate season boxsets would cost around £250 at current prices, and this was £140. I don't have another £110 spare, so I guess this is still my best bet for owning the whole lot any time soon...

It would be nice if they'd let me just return the box, as the weight of all the discs will drive the cost of registered post up considerably, but somehow I doubt they'll be that helpful.
