It may look to the untrained eye,
I’m sitting on my arse all day.
I’m biding time until I take you all on.
I’m still undecided whether the above, as an opener, is pretentious or menacing. It is not intended to be either, I was just listening to some Pulp on the bus, heard it and thought it strangely fitting to my life at the moment.
Bring the noise.
I’ve neglected you again, Blog, and for that, I am truly sorry. I’m blaming part of it on the fact that I was out of action for a week due to mouth-aids. Turned out I had a gum/tooth infection and it made my face swell up. It was very painful. But on the plus side, I got to legitimately do impressions of the Elephant Man. A weekend off work and in severe pain, then off to the dentist who put me on lovely drugs. It was here that it dawned on me I’d be unable to have a celebratory drink on Baz’s birthday. Which is what happened last year too. Same drugs and everything, pretty much the same problem, but not quite so severe. The Verve were wrong though, the drugs do work. The swelling went down, I returned to work and then to the dentist again yesterday. He attempted to take out the fucked up tooth, then concluded I had “big roots” (oh, you flirt…) and so he had to cut up the root a bit in order for the tooth to actually come out. This resulted in me having to have stitches in my gum. Holy mouth-fun! I’ve never had stitches in my life and now I have them in my mouth…
Last night also saw John’s first ever stand-up gig at Snafu. We all went down for moral support. I was very nervous for him. But he did very well considering it was his first gig. The only thing that was irritating were the drunk bints who kept shouting out. Fair enough, it happens, but him feeling the need to respond ate into his time a bit which sucked. I’m sure he’ll get offered to do some more in the future though, he’s a fun guy.
Today I went to see the Boat That Rocked. A very good film, highly recommended. Everyone in it is fantastic, especially Bill Nighy, Rhys Darby, Chris O’Dowd, Katherine Parkinson and Rhys Ifans. Oh, and Nick Frost.
Eff it, the cast is just brilliant in general.
I now want to produce a podcast with some of my amusing friends more than ever. I’ll look into it.
I highly recommend you check out the three new episodes of Goodnight Burbank. You can find them here if you search ‘Goodnight Burbank’, set to list them alphabetically and watch them in order.
Right now I’m bending and breaking credit cards, eating a red pepper and contemplating sending an email that could help me get to Londinium. Life is quiet. I am content.

Your friend should continue with the stand up if he enjoys it; if he didn’t die on his ass dealing with persistent hecklers on his first go, then he’s further along than a lot of people.
Ditto on the GNB.
You forgot to do an April Fools joke. Wait, you’re so not eating a red pepper are you, that’s weird.
