Crap pubs and good company.

Friday: The cow-orkers are back, so I have to actually stay hanging around at work until the bitter end. Even though I got so bored as to bother reading my friends' friends list.

Straight to the Dev, to meet up with erzibet and blankinfinity. I only once had to physically restrain Mel from going off in search of fags ... A lovely evening of drinking, talking and more drinking. Chatted to a bunch of Canadians (Larissa and her lot). Nice Indian restaurant afterwards for a damn fine chicken something.

(ali_anarres: "You were in the pub all night then went for a curry." Me: "Yes, but it was a more upmarket curry than that sounds.")

Saturday: Down the Marlborough Head to see sinnymaker off. Sucky pub with pish beer and pish food and pish ventilation and pish patrons despite the nice décor; being convenient to work no longer suffices. Despite similar suction, I will still go to the Dev until drinking Newky Brown actually burns holes in my guts. Or they stock proper beer. Because I like the people. And Camden.

Saturday night at the MH is Bad Mettul night, so the people look like goths - only not quite - and the noise is unspeakable grunt and twiddle. A lot of the world's bad metal comes from classical musicians unable to find work in orchestras, let loose on the countryside like the trained music-killing machines they are. *widdlywiddlywiddlywiddly* "GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT" *widdlywiddlywiddlywiddly* Though the last hour featured some actual songs, suitable for those who just wanna ROCK. Not very good ones, unfortunately.

The company was lovely, of course. For some reason, a lot of the conversation revolved around long-distance relationships and UK immigration requirements ...

zoo_music_girl's notagoth card will be taken away for wearing blue jeans in public. Cute shirt, but.

I so can't wait for my camera to arrive.

Widdly metal

While looking for an mp3 of Al DiMeola's Carol of the Bells (having upgraded to v2 of Kazaalite) I found a version by Metallica! It features the Prague Symphony Orchestra and isn't too bad \m/

There's nowt wrong with wearing blue jeans, y'know? Mind you I'm not a goth (as opposed to notagoth), so perhaps I would say that.

I keep telling people that I'm really not a goth anymore, but no one believes me. *shrug* My idea of goth and what passes for goth currently are entirely different things anyway!

"My idea of goth and what passes for goth currently are entirely different things anyway!"

You know how much I second and third that one.

If you're going to do that try looking at jourdannex
I stumbled across hers one day when I was playing six degrees of livejournal separation. It amused me no end : )
A bit of it's friends only, but the public stuff is good for a chuckle as well. Seriously, I lost days in there.
