Shite is beautiful tonight.

I am:

1. Obsessively cleaning and flossing my teeth. I used to do it just twice a day. I had my tenth (!) filling a week ago today. I'm determined that I'm not going to need any more, so I'm over-flossing. My gums are a bit bleedy. This obsession, however, is definitely putting the kybosh on me eating (crap). I don't eat when I'm out, for example, because there's no way of washing my gnashers afterwards. I can't stand going without a good ol' flossing anymore. Possibly TMI, but have you checked out the smell of the stuff that comes out from between one's teef? It's disgusting. DO NOT WANT. Everyone should floss.

2. Working my arse off. I had a busy weekend at B&Q which was very exhausting; I'm still learning a lot. I did pay Peugeot early this month though, and I have just as much money in the bank all over again - just from dogs! I haven't yet been paid by GSF or B&Q! I may be walking Ellie and Belle every day again too! That'll be an extra £75 per week. I am therefore going to be fucken rich.

3. Reading Along Came Dylan, which is a brilliant book about a man who has dogs. It's very entertaining, but it's making me think - I have a lot of canine stories to tell. I'm going to write a goddamn book an' all.

4. Going to see Sparks play Kimono My House and their new album! This is of course going to be made of solid gold win! I may even be seeing some Musers there, as a few of them have tickets for the same night. How excellent; People of the Internet. Haha, I won't say it.

I do the teeth thing too, because of my brace I'm especially paranoid, so I brush after eating or whenever they feel grotty.

My dentist said if I bled a bit after flossing it was alright :/ I'm not sure if that's just me or everyone though.
If you're out and you eat, you can get those disposable toothbrushes, a mini bottle of mouthwash, or even just swill your mouth with water to get the bits out. No need to put off food.

Any mouth gunk smells gross, I scrape my tongue lots too. Gotta be a clean machine innit.

Are you going to be able to totally pay off your van? :-O

Oh, and who else is going to Sparks!? :D

Damn that hypnotic avatar...

It's like a lava lamp!

I used to brush them if they felt skanky but didn't floss this often. I've always been pretty clean full stop but my God I'm sick of getting fillings done. I think my teeth just suck balls. I dunno if this extra flossage will help.

I won't be able to pay off the van yet, but I can pay my arrears off. :D

Sparks - me, pubicmage, Claire and Rage Kitty. :D I was gonna go on my own but as it turns out loads of d00ds have tickets! I am so excited omg.

Okay, I am DEFINITELY going now. I can't wait. I'm more excited about hearing Exotic Creatures of the Deep than Kimono My House, actually!

I wish National Rail would stop trying to give me needlessly awkward routes for the return journey. I hate them so much, sometimes.

OMG GET A FUCKEN TICKET

I've only listened to Exotic Creatures a coupla times, I'll need to give it another spin before the gig, haha!

Where do you live again? :D

It sounds better now than it did when it first came out. I forgot all about it for a while, somehow, maybe because I thought it was just a bit too long (I'm too used to short Sparks albums). But now every song sounds great! When they broadcast the live premiere of the album last year, it sounded incredible. But I would still rather hear Angst In My Pants than anything else, because of my '80s love. Damnit, I could talk about this band all day.

Newcaaaawwsul. Or however Phil Mitchell would prononunce it. For some reason, National Rail really wants me to get off at Hatfield, jump on a bus to Huntingdon (what the fuck!?), get a train to Huddersfield and then finally go home from there. Every available journey has this route, even though the only change for the journey TO London is King's Cross to Kentish Town via the Tube! Bullshit. There must be a rational alternative.

Ah, I'm yet to hear Angst in my Pants. I WANT ALL THEIR ALBUMS NAO. :(

OMG, that far away! That sounds like a fucken mission. Can you fly down from Newcastle? It's usually cheaper than trains these days. I can't remember if it has an airport or not, haha. Flying is goddamn scary though. :/

I think the best electronic albums (except No. 1) are Angst in My Pants and the ingeniously titled Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins. Most of the other electronic albums are very hit-and-miss, unfortunately, but when they are on form, they are the best things evar.

Yep, it has an airport. I don't know, I'll have a look at prices, but the London airports are the worst places in the world. For some reason, I love trains. At least they don't leave you with that horrible post-take off feeling that all planes do.

Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins. What a WICKED name. :D

Yeah I super hate flying. The fact that they all seem to be crashing at the moment doesn't help. Haha. Trains ftw. I would go everywhere by train if possible! I need to check out that band iLikeTrains. I reckon I'd like them just 'cause of the name. <3

Damn right. It's their only proper album from the '90s, but it is so good that it doesn't matter. It sounds a bit Pet Shops Boys at times.

I don't really feel unsafe because pilots tend to be better at flying than drivers are at driving, because of the endless years of training. But I just hate being in the air like that. It is a claustrophobe's worst nightmare.

OMG THAT VIDEO IS BRILLIANT. You've reminded me, I wanted to find that Dick Around one again; that was also brilliant. That song is fucken rocken. I'm going to watch all the Sparkz vidjos on YouTube now. <3

[identity profile] schoenburger.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
lololol I can upload the entire Hello Young Lovers album if you want. Every song (except Here Kitty) is just as good as Dick Around, I think! It's ridiculously good. I want to see it live again.

[identity profile] thebarkside.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I have that one, thank you, haha. :D I have been listening to it shitloads lately. I'm a new fan really, I'd only ever heard bits of Kimono before (haha I bet that's where everyone starts their fanboying!) I've definitely got the bug though, ha! I LOVE THEM.

[identity profile] schoenburger.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's SO SO SO GOOD. I cannot believe how good it is, considering how long they'd been around when it was recorded. Most bands become complacent and boring after 35-36 years, not even more original than before.

I think my first album was Hello Young Lovers! It was Justin Hawkins who brought them to my attention, I am not ashamed to admit. Another one of the many reasons to love The Darkness! Propaganda is definitely my favourite glam album of theirs, even though it took forever to get into Who Don't Like Kids.

I LUV THE DARKNESS. They were an awesome band, and I'm not ashamed to admit I loves them sooo much. I still listen to their first album when I do my housework sometimes. I still don't like the fact that the songs on that album fade out though. All those songs shoulda had a rockin' ending. :D

I still need to get Propaganda too. I need money, or at least a new CD writer so I can go back to stealing. :D Tsk!

Re: OMG GET A FUCKEN TICKET

[identity profile] schoenburger.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't heard it for a while. My CD disappeared. I had it on cassette, too, so that my dad had to play them in the car all the time. Haha. I heard Justin Hawkins has a new band called Hot Leg. I need to hear them right now.

Propaganda has some of the most awesome songs ever. Bon Voyage is one of the best album closers I can think of. And it has Something For The Girl With Everything! Don't Leave Me Alone With Her is ridiculously catchy. I will stop here, otherwise I'll end up naming all of the songs from the album.

Haha i've started the obsessive flossing thing now too! I even bought interdental brushes. I have alleged teeth-cleaning gum for after eating at work, who knows if it does anything but it might heh.

I'm going to Sparks too huzzah!

Also, in the moneys, ooh yeah. Do you not have much rent to pay? Lucky get, hehe

[identity profile] thebarkside.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's another thing I've always done - gum chewing. I look like a cow chewing the cud 99% of the time, as my old English teacher would say. My fillings are all between molars, so I'm hoping the flossing will sort that out in future. Grrr.

YAY SPARKS! I can't wait! :D

I have to pay £280 a month, but I haven't been, as Anna owns the house and has kindly let me off... I dunno how she's put up with me for so long, bless her. I will now be able to pay her back every penny!

[identity profile] dreamingofme.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ah that's always handy!

Haha i'll mention to my mother 'yeah some people i know from the internets are going too, hope you don't mind if i say hello' . Actually she probably won't care, i've met her internet friends at gigs before ha!

[identity profile] thebarkside.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
YAY MUM, haha, that'll be cool! :D Thanks for all the Mauro songs btw, I don't think I ever got round to saying thanks, did I?! *slaps self*

[identity profile] dreamingofme.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe that's ok! Did you like them?? Mmmm Belgians.

[identity profile] thebarkside.livejournal.com 2009-01-20 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I really do! I've only had a chance to listen through once so far but I looove. <3 Thanks again!
