little red riding hood

Earlier this afternoon I went to a screening of Harmony Korine's "Mister Lonely" at the London Film Festival. It was brilliant! Werner Herzog, Samantha Morton, and blue-robed skydiving nuns. I was so impressed with Harmony Korine's capacity for optimism and wonder; hopefully it won't take another eight years for him to make something new. I think it's properly released in March - go see it!

soundtrack: Vertigo - The Libertines

wendigo

As if any day when one begins drinking at 4 PM isn't already great, when I arrived home this evening I had a package from my fellow Sullivan and Wikimaster, Ian. It contained hand soap. Hand soap molded in the shape of amputated baby hands. omg LURVE.

soundtrack: Punk Is Dead - Crass

sunday sunday

A wicked weekend.

Friday: compelling lecture; situationist mission; Senate House success; ULU debauchery.
Saturday: lazy morning; lazy tea powwow up Camden Road; lazy Kentish Town meander; a rugby loss and a missed-train gain.
Sunday: sunny stroll to Mornington Crescent; more tea with added Scrabble; toast and hummus as meal replacement; finally starting on all the reading that was neglected for bigger, better things.

soundtrack: Dear Catastrophe Waitress - Belle & Sebastian

shotter's nation

As if getting my hands on the new Babyshambles album a good three weeks in advance of its U.S. release date wasn't boon enough, last night at the bar at KOKO the bathroom graffiti said: "Team Shambles - Headlox's Corner" (a reference to Johnny Headlock, one of the P-Doh entourage). Clearly the stars are aligning; it's only a matter of time until I run into the man himself!

soundtrack: Phenomena - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

habitat

Now that my room is somewhat decorated and generally inhabited - and because I just made the bed - here's a quick look at my humble Camden Town abode.

This is the aforementioned newly-made and slightly blurry bed. Please note the Yves Saint Laurent sheets c. 1976, inherited from my very tasteful mother.

This is the area where Great Thoughts occur. Can you spot all the P-Dohs in this picture?

The decorative fireplace! Plus shoes, bag, and Adverts 7".

This is the view from my window. I haven't yet been to the Best Camden Cafe but the off-licence has already proven helpful.

Finally the kitchen, complete with washing machine (just behind the table). This is where I drink lots of tea, cook little of nutritional value, and keep an eye on the mini-chavs after school.

soundtrack: Intervention - Arcade Fire
