it is SO f ing hot, it's like being inside an oven, the heat is literally blasting at you from every side.
we don't have a freezer and I've got to say i really want one today. ice lollies are the only remedy. not to mention just, ice.
wellll what have i been doing? went to ikea yesterday, bought some sweet kitchen stuff and a shelving unit for my studio. the studio remains largely unaltered, just crap everywhere and neglect. and guilt...
went to the studios for a workshop day today, it was nice cause i met some people so now i am not completely anonymous to all, however, my shit social skills were prominent due to my immense discomfort from the heat combined with a creepy head cold that developed last night and woke me up loads with a sore throat. I did a lot of sweating and hand-wringing and pretending to read things in order to look like i knew why i was there...
continuing my progress into dysfunctional housewife (yesterday i made bread all day and threw nearly all of it away in frustration) i bought a retractable clothesline with the idea of having it run the length of the hallway, i think this makes me a genius, i also know that it makes me a total loser. I WANT A GARDEN! I WANT A FREEZER!! argh! the flat is looking really great though, very cosy, even the i-player den is coming along, I've moved a comfy chair in here with a beanbag footstool to watch i player in comfort and quiet, however Simon's massive exercise bike does somewhat detract, but he likes to pedal on it while watching Dr Who, and who am i to deny him his basic comforts (I'll deny them gradually).
off to London tomorrow night, seeing BLUR in Hyde Park on Friday afternoon, somewhat nervous about it all, mainly because i love them so much and i will probably get eggy at all the stupid tag-along kids there, blocking my view and taking constant pictures on their FUCKING PHONES (every gig i have been to for the last 2 years has been a view of a sea of phones completely blocking out the stage and distracting you from the music) because of course these days, it's never enough to GO somewhere, you need to document it relentlessly so that you miss the entire experience but at least you can prove to vague acquaintances online that you were there. Slightly nervous about the heat as well... I do tend to get crazy head from the sun, so I'll be there getting tasty with teenagers all dizzy from sunstroke i expect HOWEVER it is potentially a pinnacle of my life as Blur are my favourite band ever, and always have been, and i have never seen them before so i will probably have an epiphany. i hope.
anyhoo, it's impossible to know what to eat in this weather? no wonder mediterranean peoples are thin, i only want orange ice lollies. or those lemonade ones that you used to get when you were little, we used to leave them in glasses to see if they melted into lemonade. Not a scientific breakthrough I admit.
i am such a wimp, i don't know how i'll stand it if it's hotter than this! I can't really stand this!
anyway, hope you're all keeping cool. i'm off to lie in bed with the fan on and one hand on my forehead like in a black and white film.
