Sunday - Classic Or Dud

No matter how much they open the shops and the pubs Sunday evening still feels slightly melancholy. Two thousand years of religious observance has forever stained it.

Tom, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That said I'm in the office which can't be helping.

Tom, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The rain here isn't helping it, but it does make everything feel deliciously downbeat and thus perfect weather for digging out Smiths and Low albums, for instance.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I used to not like Sunday's. Now I quite enjoy them. Just the long laziness of it. I wrote, went to the park, recorded cdr's...perfect really. I'm a melancholy sort, I guess.

Classic and dud.

Classic: nice mellow recovery day from Saturday

Dud: only day in Seattle where buses run veru limited schedules. For those of us carless (or whose car broke down recently, like me), that means less convenient to go to Sunday night shows... like Momus tonight. :(

november sundays have a certain quality that makes me want o go and throw myself off the arts tower. dark dank depressing drizzle. slightly lifted by walking to the top of sheffield and looking down at all the fireworks in the valleys, probably saved my sanity for another 24 hours

Ed, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This sunday=classic because I don't have to work. I just dug out Red House Painters...

turner, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dud. Saturday is great fun but on Sunday I spend most of the day doing housework or homework that I didn't do the previous two days.

Maria, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sunday is when I look after our 2-year-old, so darling wife can do art. (I work thee rest ov thee week) To-day was classic, because I took him to the river, and we threw stones in. He made this observation:

"It's not mummy, it's a river"

Generally though, sundays are dud to varying degrees @ this moment. They don't call it "the terrible twos" for nothing.

Norman Phay, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sundays have always depressed me slightly, and especially this weekend because my back and shoulder are in so much pain I can't really go anywhere or do anything aside from homework & net.

Nicole, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hate Sundays for all those 'getting ready for work on Monday' 'chores' - washing clothes, washing up, ironing, shaving, doing all the other shit I'll be too tired to do during the week.

Andrew L, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

University radio station here in town is strongest on Sundays, aside from that damm bluegrass jam that clogs the afternoons.

Mr Noodles, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

However, this Sunday has now gone on far too long! I wanted to post a question to ILe, but I can't actually think of anything to ask.

james, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm with James. I used to hate them, now I love them. When you're young, they're boring, when you're older, they're relaxing. Plus, I look forward to the Simpsons, Mind of the Married Man and the another HBO show I forget the name of. Perfect day for reading, personal work, working out or just sleeping most of the day away.

Nude Spock, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When you don't have to do lots of work I'm sure Sundays are very nice, but teachers tend to say "Oh, weekend? Much more time to do assignments." I've spent four hours on history homework and have another upcoming two hours of Latin, besides all the cleaning up around the house, and am feeling VERY RESENTFUL at the moment. (And stifling the urge to type "thee" instead of "the!")

Maria, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When I am king, I shall add an extra day to the weekend (Monday, as everyone hates that already, or is that just Bob Geldof and Garfield?). Then, the world shall rejoice and love Sundays, and good king James.

james, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ed: the arts tower! Some periods of my life have felt like being trapped in that godawful windtunnel between tower and library in December, frozen, embattled, unable to keep a hat on successfully, and at the end of it only a trip in that rickety open lift thing to top levels that were probably structurally unstable.

Ellie, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i R melancholy becuz my cross letter to the wire denouncing my detractors has taken me all day, and is mimpy still not hilarious and magnificent, and my essay on dad's army remains stillborn: another weekend wiffled away w/o concrete issue

mark s, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No more working Mondays? Long live King James!

This afternoon I sat in the sunny window of a restaurant here on the harbour and ate creole crab cakes and salad and all was right with the world.

Kim, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I prefer Sundays much more when I don't spend all day channel-surfing. Today I spent the morning recovering from Bonfire Night party at the house of the people who gave it, then we went off for a great big fry- up. I came back here with an Observer and Hoovered up the Yoko Ono article, had a good soak, then read Vogue. Actually the last activity was HOMEWORK, I'm swotting up for a nice lunch meeting later this week, I hope. If I suggest Japanese to the editor girl I will be in my element due to Let's Eat Only With Chopsticks phase in college.

suzy, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I miss the old Sundays of my childhood, when we'd go and visit my grandparents in Woodford Green and I'd scoff pink wafer biscuits and listen to Grandad Greenfield rant all afternoon. They're rubbish now, nothing ever happens.

DG, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Classic for the many moovies I watched. Dud for not having keys to my apt. block's laundry room yet.

Sterling Clover, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Classic; Car boot sales, lying in bed till 11, pub lunches, cycling, scrapheap challenge.
Dud; Oversized newspapers with about 50 supplements telling you how to cook asparagus, gardening, Last of the Summer wine, rain, people washing cars, hangovers, Songs of Praise.

The duds have it unfortunately.

Billy Dods, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

James, I will love you if you do that!

Maria, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two years pass...
the thing I hate about Sunday is the way it is the day before Monday. so I spend the whole day thinking that I am not enjoying my weekend enough or attending to enough important non-work things. Basically Sunday is the day in which I come face to face with how I am wasting my life away.

DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

DV OTM!

Sunday itself is fine. Sunday night SUX0RS. I always have a hard time falling asleep.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, so do I. I am amazed at how staying up slightly later than usual on Friday and Saturday then completely fucks up my sleep patterns on Sunday night.

DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

four years pass...

Classic, for recuperative purposes.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 May 2008 16:05 (seventeen years ago)

Sunday is always long and dull.

Two thousand years of religious observance has forever stained it.

Tom OTM. :(

Abbott, Sunday, 11 May 2008 16:25 (seventeen years ago)

Uhuh. For going to teh countryside, or for calling up teh parents if not going to teh countryside, and for watching footie on teh telly, for helping teh elderly neighbour dig up some earth on a sunny afternoon, for listening to laid back or not so laid back musics. For watching a most colourful late evening sky behind the window and not stepping outside at all.

P.S. Wot "religion"?

(x-mail)

t**t, Sunday, 11 May 2008 16:36 (seventeen years ago)

I am off tomorrow after 6 days in a row, so this Sunday feels classic!

Ronan, Sunday, 11 May 2008 16:44 (seventeen years ago)

Classic to-day. Long brunch/bbq with friends, lying at the bottom of the garden watching the fluffy clouds/listening to Fela Kuti. Alright.

Ned Trifle II, Sunday, 11 May 2008 16:47 (seventeen years ago)

i like sundays. do you?

what i don't like is people around me or people in general who let themselves be dominated by bad vibes on a sunday. eg if you hang out with them on a sunday night or go out for a drink they're all pent up and sighing etc, as if to say you can't relax or have fun cos there's work the next day. similarly with flatmates, i can't stand people being all gloomy on a sunday evening, even if i feel gloomy i make a point of enjoying myself on a sunday, more and more i just go out for dinner or a drink or whatever cos it's still my own time.

I see what this is (Local Garda), Sunday, 6 March 2011 22:06 (fourteen years ago)

i despise sundays, mostly because i start stressing about the work week.

OLD MAN YELLS AT SHOUT RAP (chrisv2010), Monday, 7 March 2011 16:33 (fourteen years ago)

I do all my chores and cleaning on Sundays, and buy groceries, and am normally sickeningly productive. Which means that on Sunday night, my house is just about clean enough/improved enough that I never want to leave it again, which is bang on time to leave for work on Monday morning. :/

Sundays are totally divorced from the old religious routine, for me, I don't feel a bit of that pressure or gloom. And anyway it was mostly about us all getting baths on Saturday night and the girls having their hair put up in rollers so it'd be curled for church. These days, by Sunday afternoons I'm just starting to think about washing off Saturday night's eyeliner.

Feeling quite hungover after a not very fun evening with people from the office. Lay awake in bed for about four hours this morning and I'm still not dressed. Just set a new personal high score on Tetris (I got like 300 lines). Back to work in the morning

paolo, Sunday, 8 February 2015 13:48 (ten years ago)

Sunday is the cruellest day

Treeship, Sunday, 8 February 2015 15:14 (ten years ago)

Played some more tetris, wondered what the hell I'm doing with my life. Might get a pizza later

paolo, Sunday, 8 February 2015 18:53 (ten years ago)

I loathe Sunday television, too many bad memories of forced watching of Mutual of Omaha and other family fare with all of my cousins. As opposed to being at home with mom and dad, who were irreverent and cool and let us watch monster movies and cop shows and stuff like "Rock Concert".

Unless, like tonight, there is some red carpet camp.

SCOTTISH PEOPLE ONLY (I M Losted), Sunday, 8 February 2015 20:22 (ten years ago)

ive had better certainly

local eire man (darraghmac), Sunday, 8 February 2015 20:24 (ten years ago)

It's weird that this should be brought up today, because even though it has been mostly a nice day (my sister and I taking care of our grandmother's 2 adorable jack russells), I feel a weird inexplicable light sadness that I haven't felt in a long time. Nothing out of the ordinary to moan about but looking at the faces of those little dogs too much makes me want to cry. I think my sister maybe felt the same too.
Probably a mood that will be gone soon enough but I find it curious that sometimes a mood like this can come over a few people without really knowing why.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 8 February 2015 20:53 (ten years ago)

;_;

finished watching twin peaks last night. talked about it with people on facebook chat today for several hours. i loved the show, but sharing insights about pop culture feels even less fulfilling than usual now
