I Am In A Bad Mood

The kind of half-enjoyable bad mood where you enjoy wallowing in your misanthropy, bitterness, and disgust. I wonder if there are any fellow sufferers out there. I do not require cheering up, though someone to sneer and carp at might help.

*scarpers*

― katie, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

tom you may sneer at my hair. it is most worthy of your derision. ("if not satan's, than surely a wanker from pennsylvania's greatest work of art." - k. stockhausen.)

― jess, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Look, Brian Harvey got attacked with a machete!

I am often in a grumpy mood. But sniggering at that sarky article has helped some. Har.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess your hair sickens me.

Last paragraph of Harvey article very amusing as I recall.

― Tom, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Am I always the last one to read anything? Tccch. GRUMP.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I felt that way yesterday, sometimes it is enjoyable to hate everybody and everything. I'm over it today, sorry I can't join you.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tom, if it helps you i bought a bottle of TIA MARIA last night! and very tasty it was too *burp*

― katie, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bah! I hope it had been spiked with CUTE ANIMAL BLOOD!

― Tom, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

aw shucks *blushes* you! :)

― katie, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am in a bad mmod too. i just found out that the cat has to be put down tomorrow morning.

but while the bitch ball is firmly in my court, Eliza Cook made it into the penguin book of quotations with the following lines from her god forsaken poem the old arm chair: "I love it, I love it, and who shall dare/ To chide me for loving that old arm chair"

Who published that woman? and who can compete with that for a worse line from a poem? (sorry to hijack the thread but any thread I come up with is inevitably not looked at. besides, what better thing to bitch about than crapness in all its many forms?)

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why don't you go ice skating and push some people over Tom?

You can laff at me for having to wear my glasses today owing to non- specific sore eye-itis which came on quite suddenly causing everyone at work to annoy me intensely by saying 'oh you're wearing glasses' (in the same way they say 'oh have you had your hair cut' when it is 6 inches shorter than it was yesterday or 'are they real' when I show them inch long fingernails when the previous day they were short and stubby. Grrrr.)

― Emma, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My problem with bitching about crapness today is that I am seeing fault in everything. Mind you it is not hard to see the fault in a poem about an old armchair.

At school we had an english teacher called L______ (now shaXoRing up w/reasonably famous English poet) and someone left a bit of paper on his chair saying "Do I really dare? / Do I really care? / I'm going to write / On L______'s chair / Yeah!". This poem precipitated a breakdown on the teacher's part and he left the school for almost a year. I'm telling you this because it's either that or work.

― Tom, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tom, you need to take a break and go for a walk where you can steal candy from children and fine everyone twenty pounds for crimes of fashion

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That gave me my first laugh of the day, at any rate.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi Mene! In answer to your question 'was there ever a worse line of poetry published?' Can I just quote this one, written in ALL SERIOUSNESS by a Scottish powet I can no longer the name of, although I shall ask my mate Luke this afternoon.

To be recited in gruff Scottish accent. Ahem

'In yonder glen, there stands a coo'
'Its not there noo
'It must've shiftud'

― Will, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I once read an entire book of very bad poetry, I might even drag it ourt again to bludgeon you all into submission with awful verse. One I remember featured some awful lines about barges going plop plop...

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mene, for love of god desist! Our Lord and Moderator grows irked! ;-)

― Will, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I cant! I just found a really awful one - Ode on the Mammoth Cheese

Weight over seven thousand pounds.

We have seen thee, queen of cheese, Lying quietly at your ease, Gently fanned by evening breeze, Thy fair form no flies dare seize. All gaily dressed soon you'll go To the great Provincial show, To be admired by many a beau In the city of Toronto. Cows numerous as a swarm of bees, Or as the leaves upon the trees, It did require to make thee please. And stand unrivalled, queen of cheese. May you not receive a scar as We have heard that Mr. Harris Intends to to send you off as far as The great world's show at Paris. Of the youth beware of these, For some of them might rudely squeeze And bite your cheek, then songs or glees We could not sing, oh! queen of cheese.

We'rt thou suspended from balloon, You'd cast a shade even at noon, Folks would think it was the moon About to fall and crush them soon.

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the lack of formatting really adds to it I think

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't exactly think that a machete attack is any sort of a laughing matter. Just because he's male and white, and probably a bit of a prat, doesn't excuse "sneering" or "carping" at him.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

II just know that somthing good is gonna happen.

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No it's not 'cos I can't be bothered. Brian Harvey for f's sake.

OK so how about a synchronised out-of-window tender tribute to Peter Finch at 4:00 this afternoon - we all simultaneously lean out of our windows (if we have them) and scream I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANY MORE!

and forget that the rest of the film was actually pretty boring.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Amusing last para of Harvey article not about machete attack, Marcello: "The singer pulled out from the event moments before it was due to start because of a "television appearance".".

There's no excuse for sneering and carping. Nor am I offering one.

― Tom, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The poet you are thinking of is William Topaz Macgonagall, Will. (http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/ is very good). He's not as bad as you would think. Bloodaxe poet Bill Herbert wrote a great poem, Cabaret Macgonagall, hailing him as a proto-Mark E Smith - well worth checking oot.

― Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn I'm in a tight spot.

― Painted Into A Corner Person, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sneer sneer.

― Tom, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Carp carp.

― Carping Person, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

HA! take that Will, I am indisputed champion purveyor of bad poetry. now wheres my prize? :)

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm in a bit of a bad mood too. there's no reason i should be. I *should* be in a good mood. But I think I'm getting sick and it's cold. I just want to go back to bed. :(

― Samantha, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

toddy time for you Samantha! :)

― katie, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, OK Edna! I'll check him oot! (Although I shouldn't really be talking to you after you were so nasty to Mr. Auster;-)). I'm quite a big fan of Bloodaxe stuff, whenever I can get my hands on it. David Morley taught me Creative Writing at Warwick, so we were forcefed on the stuff!

― Will, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not in a bad mood anymore really.

― Tom, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

well I am, you piker :)

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm feeling grumpy. But I am feeling like this because I know tomorrow is going to be like today. Boring. Sigh. Where are my exciting and prizewinning STUFF and also THINGS eh? Oh I know up my own arse or something cos I hide them pretty well. GRUMP.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

When I was a freelance script reader, quite the worst script I ever read was Paul Auster adapting one of his own books. God it was awful. I had to really fight to persuade the producer I read it for of the fact, as they were a big fan, but seriously, the man is not a scriptwriter.

― Mark C, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Feh. Bleh.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

lalala I love the world...hello birds...hello trees...lalala...

Actually, I've been in an I DON'T WANNA DO ANYTHING mood this week...I don't want to go to work, I don't want to go to my graduation ceremony, I don't want to get up! But it'll pass!

― james, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe it won't! i've been like that for at least 10 years.

― duane, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe nearer 20. i can't be fucked working it out.

― duane, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, its the end of an era, the cat has gone to the great fleecy woolen underlay in the sky. And I am still in a bad mood, especially since some bastard insisted on mowing lawns outside my window..

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 11 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm in a bad mood too. i have a headache and i need a holiday.

― di, Wednesday, 12 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

two years pass...

Jesus, I'm in a bad mood today. If I wasn't so twee I'd probably kill someone. I listened to the Liars record on the bus to work and grimaced at anyone who was foolish enough to hail said bus and slow my journey down. Those inconsiderate fuckers.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I just don't fucking understand business casual, even with all the explanations I have received.

Still, Fantasia won, and it really was a beautiful thing.

Go nude.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

i was in a bad mood, the other day. its kind of strange, like, when you are in one, sometimes, you sort of like it, and dont want the cloud to leave. maybe, its because i have bad moods very rarely, so i am sort of interested in it when it is there

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

"Dress for success" I'm told. Nothing screams success like my naked chest.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, this is a nice thread. i like it over here.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I noticed that there is a lot of fighting going on on other threads. Maybe we are all emotionally synchronized or something.

This isn't the kind of bad mood I enjoy.

― ai lien (kold_krush), Friday, 25 February 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

I'm in a bad mood because:

I was studying till 5am last night, got 3 hrs of sleep, went to class, came home, fell asleep, woke up too early to this little piece of shit dog sitting in some honger's unattended car (there were kleenex boxes all over the place and it was a Camry) and the empty Corona bottle I threw at the car missed and the fucking dog barked for another TWO HOURS until the owner came out - I was right, HONGER.

New writer on work staff - she talked shit about my writing last year, I chewed her out via email, and all she did was whine to the girl who gave me her email addy. Total SCRIBE SISTA indie film chick - they're worse in Canada because they're so clueless they'll write for places with INDIE in the name with a straight face and they don't like rap music - pretty much everything I hate about indie film buffs condensed into single girl form The first piece she's writing for us is a fawning GREGG ARAKI interview that uses the word indie a million times. I'm not allowed to talk shit to her because "she's really cool in real life, man" and she knows everyone but she'd better be REALLY COOL in real life.

Otherwise everything's hot and I'll be feeling great in a few hours. I have to do dishes, vacuuming, feed my friend's dog across town, pick up some cocaine and smokes, go food shopping, shower/shave/shit, and then I can party.

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Saturday, 26 February 2005 02:07 (twenty years ago)

I'm in a great mood actually because I've been fucking off all day and therefore this mood is obv. my writer's block at work (subtle fellow M. Block) and so I need to remind myself I'm 10 thou in debt and falling ever deeper, ever deeper, ever deeper (so why am I so fucking happy?) ('cause I got to write Mark S an email explaining who Dominique Wilkins is).

LC, I just sent you an email asking if you were still at I**, and obviously you are...

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Saturday, 26 February 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

― anthony easton (anthony), Saturday, 26 February 2005 03:48 (twenty years ago)

I am in a bad mood because I didn't have a very good time in the Zodiac here in Oxford last night. The evening started very promisingly - a good turn-out for Kathryn's leaving drinks in the pub and a great gig from the Wedding Present, after which, with the benefit of hindsight, I should've just gone home. Instead of which I stayed on at the club, getting characteristically melancholy about the preponderence of young talent none of whom were likely to find me remotely attrcative, a few said as much, and buying a shot of sambuca for £2.40 only to be told by the scheming, on the fiddle barmaid that I had only handed her £1.83 when I *know* that I gave her a quid coin, two 50ps and two 20ps and the money she showed me and claimed I had just handed her was completely different grrrrrrrr!

so why are you in a bad mood N_RQ?

A career with the Samaritans may not lie in your future, Marcello.

I'm in a bit of a bad mood because I want to quit work now instead of in a month. And I have the arse-end of a cold.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

Hm, I wd definitely be in an even worse mood if that were THE Edge.

It might revolutionise the organisation, Marcello.

I shd clarify though that I do mean the edge of my patience, not um a cliff.
