Things on Thursday
Bargain Basement
- My skin. I've no idea why it's so bad - I'm still availing myself of the free fruit and mineral water at work and yet, I'm practically covered in boils.
- I still haven't found the perfect placemats for my gorgeous new dining table and guests are still being forced to put their plates on magazines. John Lewis has some nice ones, yet they all state 'Not heatproof! Do not allow to come into contact with food, or anything hot, or hot food'. What the shit are they for then?
- One of my favourite clubs is homeless again and I have yet to find a suitable replacement dancing and dressing up opportunity.
- I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the work I've got to do (NB college work, not, heaven forfend, actual work).
Liberty Christmas Shop
- I got a B+?+ for my first philosophy assignment. Apparently [this is good], but philosophers won't commit to something so crass as actual marks, hence this ambiguous code.
- I get my new windows next week. Unfortunately, that means I'll have to greet my house guest with a boarded up hole in the wall but I doubt she'll notice, because...
- We're going to see Nick Cave! Eee!
- Radisson Hotels sent me an advent calendar. With chocolate and everything.
- Despite the plague of boils, I am having a good hair day.

Also boo for losing good club nights. Me and my mate's music promotions company are setting up two new monthly club nights next year. It should be great fun!
La la la la la Look-In! I do have some issues of Smash Hits and Jackie knocking around at home...
Hopefully the club will be back soon, but I suspect there may be a change of direction... we shall see...
Well done for the B+?+, and sorry to hear about the Old Testament-style boil smiting. Perhaps philosophical success and dermatological upheaval are connected?
"...it is simple to show that skin—and indeed skin in its primitive anatomical character—dominates every position the philosopher occupies and every decision he makes." (Arthur F. Bentley, 1941)
No idea what he meant by that.
I share your skin pain, although I can't pretend to have been entirely good in the drink and diet department.
I like your philosophy grade - I think it should go on a t-shirt.
However I visited the private dermatologist yesterday recommended by my GP and scored Roaccutane! Yipee, no more hormonal induced spots for me. I can now have my old skin back again hopefully.
The consultant was ace and told me that I had to "Balm like there is no tomorrow girl as Roaccutane dries out your lips like a f*cker." Brill.
Ooh I bet that was a deeply thoughtful B+ though :)
Hmmm, non heat resistant placemats. To be honest I would buy them anyway. Assuming they are not a flimsy plastic, I dodn't really see what harm cold befall them x
The world can throw any sort of chaos at you on a good hair day and you just know you'll come up trumps.
Wheee!
