Hello everybody... are we sitting comfortably? I hope so... for I feel like having a ramble... and ramble I shall... in the most ramblesome manner known to humankind... How is everybody? Please make sure you leave a comment or keep in touch for I am missing you all terribly...
So so so so so, what have I been doing? Weeeeeeell, the weekend after I did go into lovely London, Myself and the Monkey went to the Isle of Wight Festival, which was pretty special, for a start we had none of this glasto weather business, only gorgeous sunshine for the whole weekend, so much so that we did get a spot of sunburn... but only a spot! We saw such great bands as Supergrass (who were ace), Idlewild, Razorlight (who were less than ace), Goldie Lookin Chain (you knows it), The Magic Numbers (fooking brilliant), Snow Patrol, and the allmighty REM. We had a pretty laid back time so missed a few bands, but it was great... We also spent much time in the strongbow rooms having a good boogie on down... People I implore you, you have to go... its like reading... but with far fewer chavs... though there are still a few... oh oh oh, and before I forget, you even get a free hand massage! Just ask Lesley!
So then I had to go back to work, which is amusing at the moment because I'm never sure if I'll get there or home again cos the trains are so fooked up...
And last weekend I went to see the Reduced Shakespeare Company, avec mes parents, and it was ace... except... mother somehow managed to get us tickets right in the front row... bang in the middle... some come the second half, when they were doing Hamlet... they needed an Ophelia... now this is a production with a lot of emphasis on audience participation... but my mother.. (God rest her soul... I had to kill her) well she neglected to tell me this piece of information. So these guys descended upon me... I was sat there with a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale in my mitts and no shoes on because I had sweaty feet it was so hot... so i had to fumble around and get my shoes on... my one task was to scream, as Ophelia does before she dies... he last line is basically just a scream... so all I had to do was scream... just scream... ok thats easy right? I was so rubbish... that... talented thespian that I am... I only got bloody heckled by some cow in the audience! "Can't hear you!" she said, "I'll do it" she said! So anyway, yeah...
the point was this... I kinda think its impossible for anyone with the slightest notion of romance in their body to read Shakespeare and not want to be one of the characters... I have read Hamlet countless times, and imagined all the differnt things you could do with it... some kind of captive director's spirit in my brain somewhere... and i finally get to act out the part of Ophelia... well... kinda... whatever...
So now... now i am telling you this... it is a friday night and i have no plans apart from to laugh at the poeple who thought they were "oh so hip" with their impossible to come by glasto tickets, as I watch from the comfort of my bed... everybody say "aaaahhhhhh... toasty warm!"
If anybody is interested, I am toying with the idea of that festival that is August bank holiday weekend at kings cross... TDK Cross Central... we have... Goldfrapp, The Bees, Tom (you set the fire in me) Vek, The Magic Numbers (yay!), Mr Scruff, Mylo, Felix da Housecat and uhhhh... stuff... if anyone fancies it then let me know...
if not there is talk of the Notting Hill Carnival.. either way its all good.
Ok ok so i hear the shuffling of little bottoms, I can tell you're getting bored...
just one last thing, get in touch, I miss you, any offers of drinking greatly recieved!
