i'm actually going to be in nyc on nye. very last minute. can optimo be moved?

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 5 December 2005 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

No need to apologise, Mr Fiendish. All was explained by Mädchen, with a bit of giggling & liberal use of the word "wankered".

You bought me the right drink, as well!

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 5 December 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

there was definitely an "-ed" on the end of the "wanker"?

i'm frankly astonished by getting the right drink. wow! good to meet you, anyway: i look forward to doing it again, properly.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 5 December 2005 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

By the way, Mooro, I don't know if anyone mentioned it but that was a nice t-shirt you were wearing.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 5 December 2005 22:45 (nineteen years ago)

And Grimly, I think the worst thing I said about you involved the words 'fluffy' and 'sideburns'.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 5 December 2005 22:47 (nineteen years ago)

girls aloud, tomorrow

I'm going to tell them I did my knee in dancing to all their songs and they will kiss me

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 5 December 2005 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

Mooro, were you up? You should've said...

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 5 December 2005 22:59 (nineteen years ago)

RJG, hold out for a massage.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 5 December 2005 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

Lauren, aww.

I have no major injuries, as yet.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 00:47 (nineteen years ago)

I wanted to see girls aloud, i didn't.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 00:58 (nineteen years ago)

Mädchen, I seem to recall someone commenting favourably on my t-shirt, presumably because of its impeccable post-rock credentials. Possibly another member of the "wankered" group?

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

glasgow's gay

― bato (bato), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

GlasGAY, as any fule no.

Mooro, that was Phil, of apology fame.

They were meant to start giving me a new bathroom today :(

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

^ that wasn't me.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

Hoho, you couples and your shared computer usage!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

Woopsy.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

I am in Glasgow this weekend. It is going to be exiting, for me. And maybe for you too if you chose to come out and play. So, this weekend's feature is 'Lara in Glasgow: Arriving Friday, Leaving Monday and Open to Suggestion'.

― Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

Watch Ally wiggle his arse and sing some songs!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

Lara, did your phone die? Or did the phone company just cancel your account when the call reached €100?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

it'll be nice to meet you, lara

: )

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

oh and haha well done to rangers!!

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

(not that the call was long, I just mean international mobile to mobile)

Rangers are funny.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

I agree; a bunch of weirdoes

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 21:59 (nineteen years ago)

YES.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 22:08 (nineteen years ago)

Lara, one of your Friendster photos is shocking.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

fucken football fannies

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

Ally, I had a selection of comedy Rangers-related text messages all ready to send you tonight. Sadly, I never got to use any of them.

Right now, on VH1 Classic, they are playing the video for Wide Boy by Nik Kershaw. This is, right now, the greatest thing in the world.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 00:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yesterday, I tried the following things in Glasgow -

Coffee in Tinderbox on Byres Road.
Exhibition at the CCA
Burger & Ginger Beer in Mono
The Necropolis at Sunset
Ku Klux Klan Exhibition at St. Mungo's Museum.
Awesome cider at Babbity Bowsers.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 10:42 (nineteen years ago)

not bad!

what did you make of the KKK exhibition?

heads up: free cinema tonight

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 11:00 (nineteen years ago)

... and of the dali?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

Generally, I really hate Dali. I find it all really contrived. This one, I quite liked as it wasn't quite as silly as his other stuff.

The KKK exhibition was very interesting from a documentary/political point of view. The photos themselves were pretty boring.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 11:10 (nineteen years ago)

The Necropolis at Sunset

good work. i love it up there.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

It's even better in the snow.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

Most things are.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

I think "contrived" is the wrong word, for once

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 12:25 (nineteen years ago)

the beach

x-post

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

I burn really easily in the sun, find sunbathing boring, don't like being too hot and don't like sand in between my toes. Hence, I would say that the beach is better in the snow.

I think "contrived" is the wrong word, for once

I find his work to be too cerebrally weird. It's all too well thought through and lacking in viscerality for my taste. His excessive skill, 'look at how odd I am' persona and ideas frequently get in the way of him doing anything that's actually worth more than a freakshow.

The christ painting works because he is working in a manner oppositie to his usual one. Rather than distorting things to create a surreal and freakish effect, he is correcting the use of such effects in historical paintings of the crucifiction. In removing the blood, nails and horror from the image of christ on the cross, he asserts his view of christ's role as a force for good, rather than an object of pity. His distortion is a return to reality, rather than an escape from it.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

And my point is that the christ painting works because, although heavily considered, all of it's distortions and effects are there for a purpose rather than being there for their own sake.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago)

It is one heck of a striking angle. Even better than Holbein's, I think.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

A great bunch of stuff for a day, of which the Necropolis shades it. Good job.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

All done in time for tea too.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

for christ's sake

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:10 (nineteen years ago)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

I find that a little contrived.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

not at all like his other stuff

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

He is cycling in a direction opposite to his usual one.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

In the cycle path of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death unless some twat in a lorry doesn't see you.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

I like his big yellow helmet.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

stet again huh?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 22:03 (nineteen years ago)
