I am returned from the frozen north! Spent last weekend in Orkney with work folk. We visited the Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae, sadly on what even the locals admitted was one of the worst days of weather they've had this winter. Despite the driving rain and wind to blow you all Mary Poppins into the distance, it was absolutely beautiful.

The plan to update more often did not go well. Le sigh. In my defense, I have been pure dead busy, like:

- on Saturday, we DJ'd our friend's wedding reception at the swank Alasdair-Grey-muraled Oran Mor. A great time was had by all (although that probably had little to do with out selection of PUNK! RAWK!...

Ambassador? Does that mean I need to bring the Ferrero Rocher next time? 
tsui:
No the blokeys right, but the 3rd of April deadline is for the discounted fee of 230, if you wait till the 17th it goes up to 350. 
You need any help with planning, I know this inside out now. Is it similar to mine or more classical like a play?

Well, I promised an updatewhenever I sit down to write something in here my mind goes completely blank like yknow when someone asks you what youve been up to, and you say Ah, yknow, work, not much, though you couldve been ice-skating on the moon or something. Maybe Im the only one who does that. Hrm.

That's definitely a good idea to read the graphic novel first. I love it and I was still okay with the film. It could have been better but it's hard to cram it all into two hours. I'm just glad it was made, it wasn't an embarrassment and they got two good actors for the lead roles.
You're not a big fan of frequent journal updates, I see.

"Well, the 'Brew will tend to lead to slavering, and stumbling, and waking up to an asbo on the doormat.."
That sounds like a typical episode of Rab C Nesbitt, without the asbo though since they're a relatively recent and crap invention. At least you don't see the pink elephant.
I rarely post on the Current Events section, but get drawn to reading it with the same morbid facination as a car crash. I should have learned by now.

I actually looked at that photo and at first glance thought it was Bogart. No joke.
midwinter:
*prod* Still kickin', miss? Get off Myspace!
OK. I lied.
I'm declaring a comment amnesty on myself. after this journal, back to square one and everyone gets a relpy.
*phew*
So, in the last..ages, i've:
- DJ'd a night for the first time (for FIVE DAMN HOURS). People danced, and only minor bleeding from the ears was reported.
- Got in a lift with Salman Rushdie
- Got in a revolving door...

Yeah it was lots of fun. Highlights included throwing a little parachute man from a bridge in Edinburgh. And covering Annalee's kitchen ceiling with little men who had sticky hands and feet. Going into work on Tuesday was not fun.

You are right.
Just a shame that my rod is broken, and I never catch anything anyway.......
I did the cowardly thing of letting her down with a text message. Classy I know.
In fact, saying I let her down is not entirely true either. A female friend composed the text for me and I sent it....... Just gets better doesn't it!!!!

Nice to meet you last night. Sorry I didn't get the chance to say goodbye at the end of the night, was getting pretty cold standing about outside and I had a date with my duvet to keep...........
Hopefully catch up with you at the next one?

So did I miss much sneaking off early? I hear rumours of the Cathouse.

Keep me posted about your quiz. I could muster a team of playwrights/screenwriters whose heads are just oozing with useless information.

Belated Happy Birthday. Hope you did something good.
Did you get along to the Wee Chill in Queens Park at the weekend? Southside Glasto!
Maybe it's time for another of your comment amnesties...
