features too largely in my life right now but theres very little i can do about that.

• i'm extremely happy that i got round to doing so much reading this summer or i think my brain would have caved in by now, so..

What i Have Read

• Grimus (heinous sci-fi, glad he ditched this idea)
• Midnights Children (an actual other world, holy crap, awesome)
• The Satanic Verses (seriously intense, best characterisation ever and its insane to read something which predicted the current tensions in the uk by like 10 years)
• Shame (a whole bunch of shades darker, pretty scary, i really need to read more on the political history of pakistan to understand who he's satirising a little more...

in the possst, thankyou grave mistake

• BREAKDOWN - "87 DEMO" 7"
• FASHIONABLE IDIOTS ZINE - ISSUE #6
• NO BULLSHIT - V/A - COMP 7"
• BRUTAL KNIGHTS - "S/T" 7"
• MIND ERASER - "GLACIAL REIGN" 12"
• TRANZMITORS, THE - S/T 7" (DERANGED) (so excited to hear this)
• VOORHEES / OUT COLD - SPLIT 12"

i'm also contemplating this order even though it adds up to like fifty quid, theres a bunch of stuff i meant to buy ages ago, the koro repress is supposed to be mindblowing

• ROBOT WHALES - Vehicle LP
• PISSED JEANS - Shallow LP
• KORO - s/t 7"
• WEEKEND NACHOS - Torture 7"
• SLUMLORDS - s/t picture LP
• LACK OF INTEREST - s/t LP

sorry listography, i forgot you.

I have been given free reign to redecorate up in hurrr, here is a list of things related to that fact:

I'm going to rip up the carpet because this is underneath

And paint over the ORANGE walls, white

I'm going to get a nice pair of antlers for above the fireplace (which will not be mock-marbled turquoise ANYMORE.)

the surrounding wall of which i will paint this green

Lots of frames as bashing the walls is no longer a problem

Lots of things on casters

Then, I will win this vintage typewriter, to, uh put in there, buy a ribbon for, and bash-bish-bash-ccllunk my way to solvency.

mute mouth mute mouth mute mouth

• its not sexy, its just weird
• it comes with green lung-gunk
• i can't control the volume of the noises which do periodically come out which leads to all kinds of humourous events, like accidentally shouting at (an albeit idiot) girl in my class 'YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GAY OR A MAN TO BE HIV POSITIVE'
• there were other scathing remarks that had to stay in my head after that
• i can't make the calls i kind of need to today
• i was gonna plead with the people who i bought my now-busted laptop from to part exchange it for me, but literally no words will come out.
• thinking about it, could i win on sympathy there?
• my nose is the only thing workin for brea...
