Did my usual of having a few pints in my local with my flatmate last night. very enjoyable. He was quite pleased because miserable barmaid actually remembered what he orders this time, after a year and a half of going in. I'm a bit stuck when I go in there now though as they always pour me a kronembourg as soon as I go in. But sometimes I don't want a kronembourg, especially these days when I'm trying to cut back on actual pints and drink more wine/shorts or maybe even, gulp, a soft drink. But I'm stuck now, I'll just have to wait for new bar staff to come in or something. Had a nice seat by the open window, noticed a van that went past with graffiitti written in the dirt. One said 'Ian likes women', came to the conclusion that it originally read 'men' but Ian must have ammended it. Also said 'lightning liam' at the top, don't know if that was a compliment or not. If Ian had been thinking ahead he could have changed the 'Ian loves men' to 'Liam loves men', as adding the 'wo' just makes it a fairly mundane statement. There was a fat bloke stopping at the kebab shop to pick his tea, parked his van up just outside. Stood inside with his top off (this was about half 9) playing the gambler in there while waiting for his grim feast. How he couldn't look at himself at that moment and think 'fucking hell', I don't know. Got back in time to watch Charlie Brookers Screen Wipe on BBC4. Charlie Brooker is fucking brilliant, I urge any disillusioned, aspiring misanthropist to watch it. Top stuff (in case anyone doesn't know, he was the fella behind tvgohome.com, which most people saw back in its hayday).
I have lots of horrid wind today.
Off down to camber sands tonight for a short weekend, should be canny. Going to stop at an ace pub called 'The Queens' in Hawkhurst. Lovely place, canny food as well. They do a film night on a monday where you pay a wee price and watch a film in the piano bar getting your supper halfway through. Topper idea, although one week watched 'dogville' which was absolutely fucking shit. and very very long. and shit. http://www.thequeensinn.co.uk/Default.asp?page=13
Remeber reading one of those 'sunday funnies' they have in the shit sunday papers where it's a little 2 line snippet 'funny story'. this one said a man was moving his lawn in hawkhurst when he tripped and fell down an old well in his garden and died. Now, maybe it's just me, but I don't find that very funny, just quite horribly tragic and a reminder of the horrid fragility of existence. Hey ho.
Today I'm painting up a scene of a game show audience. But get this, it isn't actually going to be seen, it is just going to be used for the reflections and a bit of the lighting set up. Boy, that makes me well keen to do this *sigh*. It's a right fuck on as well as there's dick all reference about.
