Tomorrow I'll be watching my Morris dancing side dance on the Southbank for an hour or so (hopefully I'll be dancing out with them myself by September, huzzah!), before going off to woman the g3 Magazine stall in Trafalgar Square for Pride. :p No fixed plans for Saturday evening, although I may get sucked into the evening Pride celebrations.<br /><br />Rather miffed about missing Kensal Green, but hey... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:464887 2008-07-04T09:25:35Z 2008-07-04T09:25:35Z My life has of late become a bit like sinking into a warm bath at the end of a stressful day, only to find a big hairy dead spider floating in it which constantly eludes my grasp... Gr. I keep having to get out, drain the water, remove the spider and run the bloody bath again...<br /><br />Sigh. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:464334 2008-06-30T10:16:13Z 2008-06-30T10:16:13Z ... For not working closer to me. I could do with meeting people for lunch today! :P Suffering a bit from a rather manic weekend, which followed the usual Dev/Slimes/excessive quantities of booze formula. At least I managed to have a vaguely productive day on Saturday - worked on my 'novel' (if indeed it ever turns into something long enough to call itself one!) for most of the day. It's becoming amusingly autobiographical without me even intending it to. There's even a pub in it which is basically the Dev under a different name... :p urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:463480 2008-06-26T15:23:26Z 2008-06-26T15:23:26Z Note to self: full Cleopatra eye make up + gym = erk. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:462892 2008-06-25T22:56:59Z 2008-06-25T22:56:59Z <a name="cutid1"></a><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jun/24/asa.advertising">http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jun/24/asa.advertising</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:462732 2008-06-25T22:07:11Z 2008-06-25T22:07:11Z ... Stupid question, but can I just walk into any mobile phone shop and expect to pick up a charger for my phone? Has anyone ever had their charger die on them before and had to do this? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:462404 2008-06-25T20:36:09Z 2008-06-25T20:37:15Z I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this evening's little mystery...<br /><br />My mobile phone charger has conked out. I've noticed that when I plug my phone into the computer with the USB cable that came with it, it looks like it's charging the phone. However, it doesn't seem to be doing it very fast, as every time I take it out it's still on two bars. Am I right in thinking it *is* actually charging it, or... Help! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:462184 2008-06-25T16:15:02Z 2008-06-25T16:15:02Z I just lost my gym virginity! <br /><br />I feel sore but buzzzzzzzing :p urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:461900 2008-06-24T20:57:36Z 2008-06-24T20:57:36Z <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/lilythehamster/ljorgy.jpg" /><br /><br /><a href="http://1000mile-wish.livejournal.com/2499.html?view=4547">http://1000mile-wish.livejournal.com/2499.html?view=4547</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:460725 2008-06-20T09:18:24Z 2008-06-20T09:18:24Z ... Is really small. And, looking at how much of it I've got, I don't think even half my stuff will fit in it. I certainly wouldn't be able to take my computer and guitar and amp. I may have to grit my teeth and pay a bit more for somewhere a bit more inhabitable... Hmm. It's a shame, because it's a great location, a lovely house, and a sweet price! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:460006 2008-06-19T10:05:13Z 2008-06-19T10:05:13Z Is anyone interested in helping me put some music to some lyrics? I can manage words and singing, but I am somewhat hampered by my inability to play any instruments when it comes to writing the actual music to songs! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:459659 2008-06-19T09:53:58Z 2008-06-19T09:53:58Z Found room in really nice house in Golders Green, for a pretty damned fine price... Only problem is, the room's really small and the bed is just a mattress on the floor. I know it's a stupid question but is it OK for your back to just sleep on a mattress, or would I need to get a futon (or even a bed!) or something? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:459441 2008-06-17T15:05:05Z 2008-06-17T15:05:05Z My first ever page of LJ entries: <a href="http://painted-bird.livejournal.com/2003/12/12/">http://painted-bird.livejournal.com/2003/12/12/</a><br /><br />*snicker* urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:459145 2008-06-17T13:14:55Z 2008-06-17T13:14:55Z Who would like a free ticket to see Alanis Morissette on Thursday evening?<br /><br />First come, first served... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:458802 2008-06-17T11:56:06Z 2008-06-17T11:56:06Z Fuck it.

I'd like it to be near work (Baker Street area) and near play (eg Camden, Soho, etc)... But if I save on travel time I have to pay more in rent, so will have less to spend on said 'play' when I actually get there! <br /><br />*implodes*<br /><br />I don't know where to start. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:456920 2008-06-11T11:54:29Z 2008-06-11T11:54:29Z Recommendations for good sites on which to find a room/bedsit to rent? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:painted_bird:455576 2008-06-08T15:23:27Z 2008-06-08T15:23:27Z Have discovered fiver with a bit ripped off in my purse.
