Now both fire and flowers consume me.

Spring sprung in one leap yesterday and I have changed my journal name back to "Plant bukkake." The BBC's Plant Bukkake Index is not running until April 1st.

Last night, arkady and I went to the Dev. Cavey Nik has damn fine taste in music. The Dev's 3D animated walking vampire girly has a crinkling crotch. Hi to gothbabe (borrower of clove smoke!), kitty_goth and flavius_m. We had dinner at Wagamama beforehand, where we saw valkyriekaren and wechsler in passing, and I had the unfortunate joy of seeing an authentic Camden fashion disaster. Not one of the lower orders, but someone who looked and sounded like a cashed-up upper-middle-class student or similar. This is the next stage after low-cut jeans with a thong:

I expect her name is Dawn.

I couldn't see what was written there. Arkady flatly refused to turn around and see what was affecting my dinner. Wobble, squish, wobble.

redcountess has ordered our DSL from Zen. We were going to go with Eclipse again, but she balked at the muppetry of the sales and customer service departments. Zen also happen to give us a static IP (eight if we want them) and a gig of web space, so expect me to be serving up experimental goodies from home.

On Wednesday, Liz went to see Judas Priest. I accompanied her to Hammersmith and sat in the pub in the tube station shopping centre reading my new book and frantically scribbling notes.

Tuesday we geeked around the house.

Monday I went shopping with Arkady, getting a week's groceries and visiting Homebase. Where I bought potting mix and a spray bottle and Arkady stocked up for the assault on the garden.

Last Friday was B-Movie, attended with Arkady and Diva-kun, who was the hit of the night. (You should have heard duranorak!) We were both Utterly Buggered, but lasted till about midnight. I also had my new ballet tights from Arkady under the PVCs, all the way from Russia, and which actually fit me. If you're going to buy ballet gear, it should have Cyrillic lettering.

Last Tuesday (Mar 8th) was karen2205's Borders salon, with a pile of people. Saw ewtikins for the first time in ages. Her fringe was a truly remarkable purple.

Two weeks ago's Wednesday (Mar 2nd) I helped Arkady clean her house.

Two weeks ago's Tuesday night (Mar 1st) I went to karen2205's Borders meet with Arkady. Also present were hairyears and neonchameleon.

Two weeks ago's Monday night (Feb 28th) Liz came out to the Dev! In honour of needler and nadnad gracing our foul city. I had a very good and motivating chat to Needles about the joy of being a small business proprietor. Expect my conversation over the next few years to become very focused and dull indeed.

I need to write up the past two or three weeks day by day, not just for your entertainment but for my memories.
