All Filler, No Killer
24 May
- I have an egg on my head. The house Miss Jones lives in is the result of some questionable choices in architecture, let’s say, so her front door is underneath the back stairs. Despite having come and gone from this very door more times than I can count, when I went out to check on the stuff in the dryer last night and turned around to ask where the light switch was I managed to bash my head on the bottom of the staircase. It hurt, it’s right on the edge of the crown of my head. I haven’t managed to injure my head for ages (a small miracle, considering my complete and total lack of any body/spatial awareness) and I forgot how much it sucks.
- Yesterday Miss Jones and I went to see Yo Gabba Gabba, indeed it is a children’s show but I like it. Miss Jones is
far too good to me and agreed to come, even without any begging on my part, and for that I am forever greatful. I’d heard that Patience from The Grates might be the special guest but had no way of knowing for sure, but I was happy enough just to go for Muno. As we were walking through the foyer to go and sit, I walked past her! I managed to play it very cool (by hissing to Miss Jones “Holy FUCK, It’s Patience!!”) and then attempted to hang over the upper level to see if I could see her some more, but we couldn’t. After the encore she came out with Alana and they taught the “Roo Bop” which was a little dance. I want her jacket so fucking much, it was a birthday present from Alana (*cough* stalker much? *cough*). So, Patience in person? She’s really, really tiny and really, really blonde but she just has excitement bubbling out of her. I kinda wish I grew a set and actually said hi and got a photo but what can you do? So much better to have walked past and flipped out to Miss Jones (who already knows I am lame) than to try and speak to her and come off as a truly insane person. Alana looked really cute, I love her top as well (and would actually wear it), this is a picture from The Grates tour blog of Patience and Alana on stage on Saturday. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
- Pay week this week. I actually can’t find words to talk about this because it just inspires me to scream with glee. I am a touch excited about it, to say the very least.
- I ordered a pizza from….Pizza Shak, let’s call it…. this evening. It literally looked like they had put the dough and the ingredients into the pizza box, shaken it vigorously and thrown in into the oven for a few minutes. When I opened the box half of the pizza topping had slid off and was stuck to the side of the box and it was kinda watery and feral. I am officially over pizza, this made the decision very easy.
- I sincerley hope this week isn’t as rainy as last week. Having to keep 24 four year olds in one room all day is just unnecessarily painful. They get bored and I don’t blame them, but when they get bored they just get into everything so the room looks like a tip and they start arguing with each other and they start whining and crying and it’s just hugely stressful for everyone. It’s so much better for everyone when they can get a bit of a run in and burn off some of the crazy.
- I had a dream I got two more tattoos, another one of playing cards near my salt shaker and then some swirls and stars on the inside of my left thigh. The thigh one faded out heaps and looked really shitty and the one near my salt because it ruined it. I was so angry at myself for not putting thought into what I was getting or where I was getting them. I wasn’t planning on either such tattoo or going back to the place that did them in the dream, but I am very sure now!
fairly certain the awesome picture of me from yo gabba gabba with a cartoon clip art bow on my head should have been included in this blog.
plus of course you didnt have to beg me to come. in return i make you watch boy movies.
xxxx
I’d never heard of the show before, but it sounds pretty cool — and I was pleased to see it was a Ramones reference, like I thought.
gabba gabba we accept you, we accept you, one of us…
My sister won tickets to go see The Grates secret show last year and it was on the Island party boat and Patience is just about the coolest person in existence, but I couldn’t grow a pair and say hello either, i felt weird because people were mobbing her already…
At Sunset Sounds when she had her leg in a cast , and she had to sit down for the whole show, which looked really difficult for her since she is usually so insane on stage.
Miss Jones, I still love that picture, it makes me smile whenever I open my phone
Also, I BOUGHT you a boy movie, yay for me!!
Jay, it is really awesome, they teach like beat boxing and stuff during the show, it’s so cool!
i.h.m.n, I heard about that gig, I am sure it would have been tops…also, possibly the only thing to make The Island worth going on.
I can only imagine Patience with a broken leg, I’ve seen so many clips of her dancing so I can only imagine how hard it would be for her to sit.
