I love Gok's Fashion Fix. I love it so much. If I had any money at all, I would totally have a try at clothes. Even customising.

Things that are or were happening:

  • I went to the Nottingham Riverside Festival last weekend. I mentioned to some people that I'd been by a riverside, and never really explained it. It was lovely, the weather was good, the river is beautiful, I never realised it was so pretty down there. There was music and street theatre and burgers from vans, and the only bad thing was that I kept getting there late, and didn't have much money to spend, and spent probably too much on arts and crafts. I didn't stay for the fireworks, because I didn't want to get home too late, but I enjoyed it anyway.


  • HOWEVER - one band I quite wanted to see, but missed because I got there TOO LATE, was Sarah Savoy and the Francadians. I got there just as who I assume was Sarah Savoy was selling CDs after the show, and I didn't have the money anyway and wouldn't have spent £12 if I did, and especially not on a band I hadn't heard. But since then I have failed to find anywhere, on the entire internet, that sells her CD. Even her own site. I have fallen quite in love with that first song that plays on her/their Myspace page. But nowhere sells it. All I can think is that...I'm going to have to go to Paris. Possibly.


  • On the way down to the Riverside Festival, I stumbled on an arts and crafts market, where one man was selling watch pieces for £2 each. It turns out that the insides of watches are the most beautiful things ever. I bought two. It made me feel a bit Sylar-ish. But they are quite lovely.


  • Work has been mad. I'm back at the psychogeriatric ward, which is mental health for older people, and for two weeks two of the doctors were off on holiday together, because they are married, and this week the SHOs were finishing/changing over, so we had to get all their typing done before they left so they could sign it. Which didn't so much happen. Hmm.


  • Then yesterday I had to go home early because of period pains. And today I went in late because of the same. Which was fun.


  • Now I am hot, and I don't know if it's because of the weather or because my body temperature has risen slightly. Hmph.


  • Probably no-one cares about Heroes anymore except for me, but a thing I didn't know: BBC2 are planning to air Season 3 as close to the USA airdates as possible, to counter the attraction of downloading. Which is quite nice, even if it does make me want to download a bit more. But it'll be on BBC iPlayer as well, which I find a lot easier to use than most streaming sites. So that's quite pleasing, in many ways.


  • The Summer Sundae is on in Leicester this weekend. Adam and Joe are going to be there. And Roisin Murphy. I can get to Leicester with some ease, it's only over there. However, I'm probably not going to go. A) I have no money, and b) I have quite a bit of stuff I need to do over the weekend. Sadface.


  • I recommend this week's Adam and Joe podcast though (here). This week they're doing songs for the new James Bond film, and there's a bit in one of them about wishing Roger Moore would come back. The actual songs start at about 17:50, the whole Song Wars section starts at about 12:54.


  • I saw Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Ha ha.
