tuesday

well, lots has been happening in my little world lately...

most significantly, the studios are closing which has left me slightly in limbo as to what to do. i need to get a creepy storage facility for all the stuff that i have deliberately hoarded due to having a massive studio...

we had the last ever art walk there last week which was very weird and a bit sad, everyone got a tad pissed due to there being a beer pump there for charity... i witnessed two large bearded men fall on their backs taking a picnic bench with them...

i am not sure what i will do now...it ranges from nothing to something mental. it'll probably be nothing...

i gave blood yesterday for the first time. it was very easy actually giving it, i have extremely fast pumping blood and it took 6 minutes instead of 15, a couple of the nurses were standing around my blood bag cheering me on as a squeezed my hand and pumped the blood from my body, very surreal!
i sat next to the vast array of treats that you are given after and i must confess, despite trying to be really hard, i did have a sudden funny turn and stagger over to the nurse and lie down for 5 minutes, i was overcome with the feeling that i was going to be sick and faint and i couldn't decide which. I was fine after that, although the walk home took it out of me...
speaking to mum after, who's a blood donor PRO, she revealed that her blood is now 4 minutes!! that's the time to beat! she also said that in cambridge it's just digestives afterwards!! in leeds we had soup, crisps, chocolate, yoghurt coated things, squash, everything! you could easily have lunch there!!

shit, i just poured water all over my top by mistake while attempting to drink from a bottle. and i'm wearing a white top. bollocks.

i am doing a workshop at the museum on saturday for the big draw, i am slightly apprehensive but also looking forward to it, i just hope that people come, there's been no advertising whatsoever as far as i can see...who knows...

can't believe winter is closing in already...at least things are better than this time last year, working in waterstones, it feels like it never happened now! oh, but it did, it did!

reading 'The Audacity of Hype' by Armando Iannucci, my god, is extremely funny and has me laughing out loud on the way to work, some of his 'ways things could possible get worse for gordon brown' (this is before the election mind):

3) a decimal point has been in the wrong place at the Treasury for the past  twenty-three years and we're actually a third-world economy

5) Jack Straw is spotted lying drunk and dace down in a wedding cake at a reception to which he was not invited

11) David Miliband once had a pet hamster called 'Little Allah'


anyways, see you thurs, will have interesting and important information then. probably.
