Nick Cave is touring again in November. That's not very fair. Bad form, Nick. I have three other gigs to consider in October/November. And most of them are at least conveniently situated. However. It seems like it would be great to see him play somewhere in the North of England. I don't know why. It just sort of does.

Other news includes the fact that I'm going to London next week to see K, who's split up with J, I can't remember if I mentioned that. We're going to see Avenue Q, but she also has a friend who's having a street party on the Sunday, which is 40s themed. I have so far yet to find anywhere or anything which will tell me definitively what the 40s look is, never mind gone out to see if I can find anything suitable, or find anything suitable and cheap. I think I'm going to need shoes for this party. I'm not sure white and pink trainers will cut it.

Also I still need to tidy the flat. It's fine. I just need to put the books on the floor on the bookshelf, the paper on the floor into the drawers, and the paper behind the couch into bags to go to the recycling bins.

Also, I went to see Swan Lake with Chinese acrobats (in the show, not accompanying me), which was great, although I think it might have spoiled me for any other performance of Swan Lake. I will probably be going "But where are the hat jugglers? WHERE ARE THEY?". But it was great. The main ballerina, who was brilliant, danced on tiptoe on the prince's shoulder. And the swan maidens were briefly on rollerskates. I quite want a piece of clothing that is white and has feathers on it now. And possibly sequins. Hmm. And I went to see You Don't Mess With The Zohan. I still don't know quite how I feel about Adam Sandler playing an Israeli soldier/ex-soldier. I could be wrong and he's very, very Jewish, but still. But there was a guy who was playing a Palestinian terrorist who was his arch-nemesis (sort of), and he was crazy and great and cool and funny, in a really exaggerated way of course, but still, and then it turned out it was John Torturro! He's just brilliant, I bever recognise him. Although the fact he was wearing sunglasses and a scarf over his face for a lot of the film probably helped with that in this case. But anyway, I love him. I quite loved Adam Sandler too. Hmm.

I'd also like to go on record saying that the other day when I said I loved the O'Connells, I wasn't including Alex. I'm not crazy.

I'm almost certainly not going to be doing anything with my hair. At this point, I might be lucky if I even get any clothes. It does sound fun though.

I went to one about 4 months ago. Didn't think I had anything 40s then realised all the dresses I'd got form Primark that year were very land girlish.

Mostly small waists and weird skirts and small jackets. Hm. It was the WAR. Wear an apron. Mostly they wore aprons. PROBABLY.

Oh, I only really like Nick Cave live. This is a sad state of affairs. I can't afford to see him again. I am a bit sad.

I can't believe K and J have split up, they have been together for EVER. Dude.

Aaaah. Thank you. So broad dresses and small waists and single blocks of colour, mainly. That does help. I still have to go out and look for things, things in my size, and buy them though. After work. Hmm. I'm not sure how that's going to go. Thanks, though.

Oh, that's a shame. He's playing one date in Manchester. We could have gone together, if you were interested. I'm eyeing up Sheffield a bit. I just don't know where I'd stay if I went. It's a bit late to be coming back on the train. Or maybe not. I don't know.

I know! They got together while I was in my first year of University. That was ages ago! But apparently he was 'quite adamant' about it, which sounds like the kind of thing you break up and stay broken up over. So I can't see them getting back together anytime soon. It's going to be a bit weird. So is looking back on the time we lived together at uni.
