In on a Friday night thread

Spent too much last weekend, had company the whole time so am happy being hermit-like, also wasn't invited anywhere (bastards must hate me!).

So I'm listening to Van Morrison, chatting on msn, drinking wine and contemplating making a massively daunting mixtape for a friend who has no idea about music but seems to love everything I send him. Erm, that sounds big headed - but I've got 8,000 tracks and don't know where to even begin to start. I reckon I should do him about 150 tracks of every genre going.

I fancy fish & chips. But it's cold out there.

Watch Theo's new video. It's great :)

What are y'all doing? Why are there no good gigs on this weekend, grrr?!

I'm pretty much revising.

Should visit my friend. Will check out Liars/Blood Brothers, as MGMT is boring me to the max.


i'm in at the moment

possibly going out for one or two drinks (and by one or two i mean one or two, no more) with flatmates, otherwise it's DiS and computer games all evening.

drinking wine on your own though? i don't get people who drink on their own, the idea just REALLY doesn't appeal to me :/


It's tasty?


yes, but it's the idea of drinking alcoholic drinks

there's plenty of tasty non-alcoholic drinks

i dunno, just to me alcohol = good times*, or at least, vibrant times. being in on a friday night alone, as relaxing and pleasant as it can be, isn't alcohol time to me, shrug

* by this i don't mean i'm a binge-drinking, raging alcoholic. i'm far from it


^this

(is also in drinking wine...)


Each to their own and all

- I don't feel bad about it. Sometimes it's preferable to being in the pub. If I'd gone out straight from work, I'd be surrounded by investment *ankers and pay £6.50 for a glass.
No thanks!


fair point

my wine-drinking flatmate is forever noting how you can get a cheaper bottle of wine from the local offie than you can a glass from Hoxton bar & Kitchen, and the bottle's generally nicer


Hoxton Bar & Grill =

MUCH more fun than Canary Wharf! She's right though.


oh BLAH BLAH :-P

oh, it's alright sometimes, I've got some good mates there and have had many funtimes, but there's too many twits and pervy old men.


I don't really drink on my own

but that's mostly 'cos I'm aware I go out drinking too often and so when I stay in I try and stay sober for the sake of my health.

That said, a couple of times recently I've bought a nice 600 ml or so bottle of decent quality Cider to have with a meal if I'm in on a Saturday night. That's quite pleasant.


drinking with a meal = different

thus speaks me


i should be revising

i should REALLY be revising
i've done nothing all day
:(

In my defence

-internet
-eat
-shower
-internet
-watch arrested development
-internet
-mess about on guitar
-internet
-eat
-internet
-NOT REVISE

:(


i'm making a mix cd for the same type of person!

you could just make yours then send me a copy to give to him? thanks ;)


Could do :)

There will be some dubious stuff on there though love!


well i gave him a copy of

the mix cd i made for the recent exchange.
i think it kinda threw him in the deep end because he said he likes it, but wants not such "odd" stuff (?!) so i need to figure out what to put on it. i've asked him what he normally listens to and he won't fess up to anything so far except the white stripes.


I would go out tonight

cause I do have plenty of stitches to wear, but no one is around.


It's gruesome


yeah :(

So bored.


I do see what you did there btw

just for the record.


ah man

i am SO disappointed in you for quoting morrissey there :(


WHAT

and you call yourself emo? PAH!

I'm not even some hardcore fan, but come on.


i totally hate the smiths

(even though i'll dance to them if i'm drunk in a club, but that isn't because i like them, it's because i'm a $£LL OUT)


I can't see how that is possible

but to be fair I only own The Queen Is Dead and probably won't bother with any more of their stuff any time soon.


"I can't see how that is possible"

100% morrissey.


careful

or I'll turn up at your club thing in a Smiths t-shirt just to annoy you. (I don't actually own one.... yet.)


Not sure what I'll do with myself this evening.

But I want to save cash (and haven't been invited anywhere either!). I've got some video stuff to do tomorrow plus I'm going out for a friend's birthday, need some money for a rehearsal studio on Sunday and by Friday need to have come up with the cash to pay for a birthday cake for my Grandmother (I'm gonna pay her a surprise visit) and a belated Mother's Day present for my Mother (wasn't in Bristol over Mother's Day and wanted to give her an actual present rather than a voucher or something by post) so need to save a bit of cash...


I get away with Mother's Day

until May, which is when it is in France. But it's her birthday today and I need to magic something up by Thursday when she's in England.
Erm. Not a clue. I no longer have a clue what to buy her. Maybe I'll track down some Motown cds that she can dance to after a few gins.


Yah, she's fun.

She even smoked dope a few years back AND THEN TOLD ME!!!


Ah, the life of a friendless hermit

Uncomplicated. Boring. Sober.


I have loads of friends :'(

but tonight they're internet friends!


hang out with twee!

he's always saying he's friendless too.


Maybe

you should change your username to physicallyreallyclosetoeverythingfun.


This isn't far off really

I'm about a 10 minute train ride to the city centre (or a half-hour bus ride).


10 minutes to downtown!

is 10 minutes too far!


wife is out with an old friend

I'm home "alone" with the kids.
Will post on DiS and probably look at Bones on TV...


Hello!

I was supposed to be going out, but after an argument with my girlfriend it doesn't look like it anymore :(

Quiet night alone it is then!

</emo>


i r at home

i just rewatched the last episode of Jericho whilst eating pizza. i might go out and buy some cider now. i have lots of work to do. friday nights are turning into work + booze + music nights, i'm quite enjoying it.


i'm going to the pub soon

driving out to one of the best real ale pubs in the country, then back to the local to finish off. i really don't want too much to drink though, because i desperately need a haircut tomorrow morning and saturday hangovers have put me off doing this for the last month or so. that's probably the least rock n'roll sentence i've ever written ....


saturday haircut/hangover

combination is never good. And saturday at the barbers means sitting amongst all the building site workers talking about Jordan(not the country) and Man United. Fuck that.


mmm pizza

wish i had some. i will have some tasty cereal for dinner in a bit.

gahhh double

:(


i appreciate your enthusiasm

i don't have ANY cereal right now. depressing. i had some coco shreddies but i ate them all :(


I have THREE different sorts!

And I'm going to mix them all in one massive bowl.

Life doesn't get much better than this.


what do you have?

it'll either go horribly wrong or be the BEST THING EVER.


one with strawberries

one fruit&nuts, and then bran flakes. I have mixed them before and it's pretty damn close to the BEST THING EVER.


I'm in to save money

I spent too much on drink last night by mistake, despite intending on being home by 11, not getting back til much later complete with a gash on my arm which i failed to notice until having a shower this morning.

I'm currently cooking, and about to watch some king of the hill. After that I'll sit back with a coffee and consider what to do for the rest of the weekend, and maybe draw some pictures.


gash

*chortle*


"i left with some gash on my arm"

would have been a better ending to the night, indeed.


i'm dead from last night

need to save money
am cooking a dinner tomorrow


can't wait to see this

and i'm in tonight too! i knew DiS would make me feel better about being in on a friday night.

recovering from last night and planning a big one tomorrow, in my defence.

turkish takeaway & dvds ftw.


pot noddle

and a wank?


I went out yesterday,

can't be bothered tonight and I've got a house party to go to tomorrow so I want to be ready for that.


feeling a bit fuzzy round the edges still

from last night. Am staying in to do some work, a source analysis and a bit of reading.

:(

and I could have been seeing Stuart Lee tonight.


rum and (flat) coke

for me, along with Cadence Weapon, the internet and maybe some TV later, though obviously not Later on TV later as it's now Live Later on a Tuesday.

Gogol Bordello gig Sunday, living on about 4p until then.


My excuse is

that I went out on monday and tuesday, have to work 15 hours tomorrow and don't want to spend any money just going to the same old shitty haunts.

Feels like I'm going a little stir crazy, staying on friday feels odd.


I'm staying in tonight.

Just had an amazing fish-finger sandwich.
I'm going to watch the Gospel music doc. on BBC4. Then the Russian war film on Film4. Good times...


I might use tonight

to get to my 3000th post, mmmm....fulfilling.


huh

I just broke 1000 yays.


Well,

it's obviously a night from landmarks hre on DiS


*and here not hre, PLAINLY.

I was distracted, someone was showing me some filler.


had fish and chips tonight

what is it with tonight and fish?


Friday innit

It's like fish day or something. I had it too.


Mine was Omega 3 Enriched

what the hell does that actually mean?


me too


Hello

im skint and recovering from horrible, horrible flu so staying in

Im chatting to people online, eating a yum chineese and just found an amazing pair of jeans i bought i new york 2 years ago and have never worn which is making me :)


do they go well

with the jeans?


yeah they do kind of

although im rocking them now and they are a bit uncomfortable... so im thinking thats why they were hidden and unworn... the jeans still rule though


what trainers?

i think id collect trainers if i had the money/space and never wear them and stick polaroids onto the boxes and spend all day sorting them.
actually i dont think this is true.


nike waffle racers

cream suede and sole, burgandy reflective nylon upper and yellow tick

they look really nice, just not comfy


i dig those.

nice vintage running shoe thing going on.
plaster up and take it. they'll mold and be a perfect fit in no time or your toes will turn blue and fall off. its a 50/50.
