that was a pretty subdued weekend. I eventually made it round to [livejournal.com profile] timsinister's on friday for the second half of his DVD evening. decided to stick to pop for the occasion. blimey. we watched black sheep - quite an amusing little film - undoing all the good work that lord of the rings did to the tourist industry no doubt.

was out of bed by 10:30 on saturday morning - a feat that is almost unheard of. then I went to squad training for the first time in months. when I got there I immediately noticed that adam had set the ring up for sparring. erk! special treat or what. I only did 2 matches (although I reffed another 4 or so and coached a lot more), one of which I lost and one of which I won. no injuries were sustained though and it was pretty good fun to be back in the ring for a spot of (almost) full contact. everyone else seemed to be hurting themselves left, right and centre - I figure there'll be some limping on tuesday :)

cooked a quorn curry for geof who finally turned up half an hour late. pah! men! then again he did make me a tiara for the murder mystery. it was great to catch up with folks - we had [livejournal.com profile] dreadtemujin, [livejournal.com profile] fraoch, [livejournal.com profile] attack_monkey, [livejournal.com profile] brummie_ninja, [livejournal.com profile] fetishman, [livejournal.com profile] mister_s and matt (ooo you need an lj matt!) and it turned out to be speedy wot did it. I had to play 2 roles, facilitated by swapping sunglasses and tiara and having 2 pretty distinct accents. the non-posh one could have done with a bit of work - they threw in to the description that she had a hint of russian or french in her accent at the last minute and it confused me (I love doing accents - as bridget will attest after me reducing her to a near state of collapse at black sheep earlier with my accent wizardry :D) much wine was drunk and many old photos looked at - co-incidentally I noticed johnny had scanned a whole pile of his old ones and put them on facebook at the same time. bit of a nostalgia overdose! got a taxi back with geoffy who made me tea and toast. yay - I've not seen enough of geoffy recently. this needs rectifying.

didn't get up till after midday but as it was light I managed to fix the bathroom light with my red wine hangover, well actually it was with a screwdriver, some stepladders and my infinite wisdon but hey. blobbed all afternoon and headed sheepwards with b just after 6. despite being in an absolutely foul/miserable mood at the beginning of the night (story of my week really) I cheered up a bit and even managed something resembling a dance towards the end. I say resembling...

tomorrow I have a club meeting at 6:30 then we're out for drinks with will as he's off to berlin for a month leaving kieran in charge of the club. that'll be odd. I'm so used to having will around to wibble at about stuff. which reminds me - apologies to all the people I've been moaning at like a stuck record all week - feel free to ignore me or tell me to shut up.

interesting! I think I'd quite like to see them after all these years.

I seem to be regaining my interest in seeing bands live - at last.

Today is better. I have thrown myself into being the orange again. this is much more productive than being mopey.

I finally got round to booking a whitby cottage for [livejournal.com profile] attack_monkey, [livejournal.com profile] brummie_ninja, [livejournal.com profile] wsogmm and myself - just near the one we normally stay at behind the magpie. handy for the arcades :D
