Now that the exams are finshed (for another 3 months anyway) .i thought i would catch up with a few things

I am pleased that everyone enjoyed WGT and TOTALLY GUTTED that i didnt go. but never mind.

I havent really been up to much except back and forth to the isle of wight every weekend, but i did manage to go to the ballet twice. I saw the northern ballet company who put on a mixed show. One of the ballet girls was so fit i whent again the next night but unfortunatly she didnt spot me in the crowd and run of with me.

shame.

and i also bought a new laptop, i studied long and hard to find the one with the greatest technelogical advances for the cheapest possible price and finally went for the purple shinney one.

very nice.

On the one weekend that i didn't have angel ,i popped over to the isle of wight to revise but my friend came over in the afternoon and we spent two days trying to drink ourselfs around the island. whch was fun.

i have two months of non exam time and plan to use them wisely.

i intend to see lots if ballet, a few opera's, the odd beer festival , maybe even a gig (its been a while) and of course get absolutely hammered whenever possible

role on the party

mood: awake

i remember the days when all you asked yourself was two questions..

how drunk does it get you ?

how do i get home from here ?

bring back the old days

is any one going to the blackfields festival ?

http://www.blackfield-festival.de/index.php?lang=en

last night i was at the royal albert hall for lord of the rings

it was spectacular

they had the London Philharmonic Orchestra and maybe a 100 strong choir performing against the backdrop of the the first lord of the rings movie

it was something that will stay with me for a long time, ive never seen a choir like that before and the sound was out of this world

today has been a step back into normaility chasing around, trying to sort out paper work for the legal onslaught over the next week or so

oh joy

:(

mood: crazy

for those inspiried by last post

'drinking their own weight in booze'

yea !

mood: confused

and back on form !!!

most excellenet

i dont suppose anyone fancies going to this before antichrist on friday ?

we can sneak some booze in and boo at the nazis !

most awsome

Last thursday i went to the ballet to see three short productions - to be honest it was not to my likeing - you cant win them all.

so after the usuall weekend in the isle of wight i went to a 'ballet master class' last night . this was a chance to see the leading dancers train and ask them questions afterwards . ths was an exceptionally good night and i would recomend that to anyone.

i'm of to the cinema tonight to see a short talk about an 'anima' movie then watch it with the director. the tommorow its back to the royal opera house for 'ballet black'

i found out that you can pop in on the day (my lunch break) and get ballet tickets for half price - this may proove costly.

i should be around london this weekend so will be watching the rugby on friday then possibily clubbing (did i see somethng about a burlesque girl and a holla hoop?), and saturday i'm tempted to see if there's any tickets left for the vampire all nighter at the imax

anyone interested ?

mood: happy

i was only 12

last night i went to the opera for the first time

the coliseum is an anmasing place and the opera (la boheme) was fantastic.

i would deffinetly go again

i was surprised that it was in english , really funny in parts ,really passionetly sung and i wasnt expecting quit so much swearing . but it was awsome

shame half the audiance were pretentious assholes but you cant have it all.

We popped out for a few beers and a meal at zeitgeist last night, it was a really good evening - even if i did get a bit carried away with the beers . It was good to catch up with some mates i havnt seen in a while

tonight i'm off to my first 'proper' opera - la boheme (monkey didnt really count)

due to illness i never made it to the last one , so this should be good and as a bonus its going to be shown live on sky arts - so if you watch it and someone claps at completely the wrong moment that will be me

mood: cheerful

Ive spent the week trying to keep fit (its working yey)

and went to the ballet last night to see La Bayadere (again) lovely

just what i needed to forget the other crap that is happening at the mo

i saw 'underworld 3' last night

i'd say it would get 3 out of 5 thumbs up

the downer is that the leading lady isnt in pvc - not a happy bunny

but as a blood and guts wearwolves vs vampire movie's goes - more guts than you can shake a stick at


best kill ? a pole through the eyeball

and the vapmpire-ets hanging around the king vamp wernt bad either

it beats the hell out of 'american wearwolvolf in london ' for the transformation scene's

go see 'twilight' and if thats full then go see 'underworld'.

mood: awake

Another weekend , and another weekend spent at the isle of wight.

I had wondered if i was moving away form the goth scene, but i spent this weekend reading the book to the film 'twilight' , watching old episiodes of buffy, tonight i'm going to see the new underworld movie and ive just got my ticket for combichrist.

so maybe not then.

its a shame i couldnt go to ian's birthday bash but angel comes first ( i know he understands)

and after a lot of grief i've finaly had two bits of good news - one i cant say yet and the other is that after five months of putting on weight ive finally started to loose some

which is nice

and i'm off to an opera tommorow - apart from the monkey opera ive never been so it should be interesting.

now i need to find somewhere i can hear 'claude debussy' stuff paid live

i heard it for the first time on the sountrack to twilight and really want to hear it on its own.

mood: amused

Ive been hearing a lot about a movie called 'twilight' so i gave it a go last night.

A totally brilliant film, very much 'a girly film' but still excellent.

You could hear all the girls in the audiance swoon as the leading man cam on the screen for the first time.

But thankfuly the leading 'lady' was good looking.

The bit that gives the film its title is cool - the tree top bit is good aswell but the ending makes the film (the hospital scene for those who have watched it)

i walked out as the end titles went up and almost every one in the audiance was female.

bizzare.

i went to the ballet last night , cheap seats again .

when i got there , i found out that i was squeezed between 5 french girls on my right and two oriental girls on my left.

which was nice

I went to see 'La bayadere'

a beutiful piece of work, unfortunaletly i found the plot a bit hard to follow

some prince of india loves this girl, but after a bust up with a girl dressed up like the mother of brian from 'the life of brian' the poor girl snuffs it.

prince thingy then gets most cheesed off, and starts smoking from the largest 'hubble bubble' machine ive ever seen. He then starts seeing things and suddenly a truck load of drop dead gorgeus ballet girls in lovely tootoo's storm the stage - i must admit if i was to start seeing things , i would like it to be that.

in the end he comes back to reality , his dad takes him to a temple and tries to pair him off with a realy fit girl (i would have settled for her), but prince thingy is having none of it. A statue of budha (?) comes to life and is not best pleased. Then Prince thingy's dead true love comes back to life and they both go into the world of the dead together.

this ballet has everything ... death, dodgy smoking aparatus, a dancing budha and shit loads of really fit dancing ballet girls.

most excellent

mood: amused

I bought a set of scales the other day and lets just say that the true horror of things have suddenly come to light.

i am now exercising evry day :(

but i still managed to go for one or two beers in covent garden last night

my mate still wants to do the bull run so it looks like thats going ahead and he wants to go the tomato festival aswell

http://www.latomatina.org/

should be a laugh if we get to go

mood: lazy

I spent saturday at the isle of wight putting the home gym back together again - so now i have no more excuses.

Sunday i took angel to a football game - we saw spurs play portsmouht. I hate football but i really enjoyed the day. To see angels face when spurs scored was priceless. It was a great atmosphere and everyone was considerate to angel

I also manged to watch the one tv programme i missed last week

paul morely on his history of music and fashion

in a lot a ways this program mirrors my musical tatse - well worth watching
