Um, what shall I do now?

[susie_flo]

Hmmm...   it's 8pm and I am home alone in my PJs with a glass of splish.  Rock 'n' Rolll!

I would watch telly but there's nothing I fancy.   I suppose I should watch the debate...   or maybe I should watch "Autistic Driving School" instead.   (Yes, Logie Baird, you did that!)

G and I are going to a wedding in Richmond tomorrow.  It's so delightfuly local that there are no logistics other than turning up at the required time.  (G is the best man and is out right now with the groom). 

I rummaged in the loft his evening and found a black hat from ten years ago that I think I will wear.  It's a bit funereal for a wedding...   bucket-shaped with a bow at the back and slightly vampish black lace at eye-level.   But what the hell.  Somehow it has come out of the hat box looking dusty... tsk.

Not sure what else I will wear...   there is a red shift dress that I might try on (but given the amount of buttery mash I stuffed away this evening it may be a bit unforgiving).  Hmmm.

Well this is all very fascinating for you, I'm sure...

The other day I was wandering down the road behind another woman who was smoking a cigarette.  At one point we were passed by a pram-pushing yummy mummy who cast a look of such extreme, open-mouthed outrage that someone had dared to smoke near her baby that it made me want to light up 3 cigars and a pipe and follow her all the way home.  (I think I might be quite evil really... )

Well.  I clearly have nothing of value to say.   Oh, but hoorah for the bank holiday weekend, eh?

It's a bit like what Siobhan said earlier re: thank god she's not 'miked up' (we're a right trio of cantakerous cows, aren't we?).

Heaven help me if the stream of invective that goes through my mind on a daily basis ever became audible.

But with better-fitting stockings.

My evening's a bit of a washout. I'm trying to salvage it with The Bourne Ultimatum (I'm watching all 3 films for the first time this week) and some knitting. Oo! And Outnumbered's on at 9:30 - hooray!

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a marvellous plan. I recently re-watched all 3 Bourne films, spreasd over three evenings. (Am a shameful Bourne fangirl.)

[gylfinir.livejournal.com]

I think I shall be joining you in the fandom. I don't know how I've managed to miss these films until now.

If you're quite evil then so am I...though Mr Pops is even more evil, he's just not as noisy as I am so everyone thinks he's the good one.

He bought me a beautiful antique red coral heart encased in silver to wear on our wedding day, when I went looking for some earrings to go with it I was treated with utter disdain and outrage in one independant jewellers when I asked if they had any. I was told they didn't stock coral for ethical and environmental reasons in a very disgusted tone - honestly you'd have thought I'd just asked for her first born's head on a plate. When I got home and told Mr Pops he said I should have said 'oh but what am I going to wear with my fur coat now then?'

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Mr Pops sounds like a fine specimen to me. I love the evils. I think some of us never grow out of the teenage glee that can be had from making an outraged person even more outraged.

[ms-siobhan.livejournal.com]

He's a very fine specimen indeed :-)

The lady you saw wasn't at all like the very heavily pregnant lady I saw at a Fall gig in Manchester a few years back - swigging from an open bottle of wine whilst puffing away on benson and hedges.

My brothers are also blessed with evil-ness - my youngest said of a blind psychic whose posters advertised her as possessing second sight 'second sight? she hasn't even got first' and the older of the two once had a run in with a recruitment consultant who 'in a teaching grandmother to suck eggs' incident told him to dress smartly for an interview. To which my brother replied he was thinking of wearing a dress at which point the consultant had a near fainting fit and a homphobic rant. My brother told everyone his name and contact details and got the ones who worked on night shifts to call him every half hour through the night. They did this for a month.

Lol, your parents must have had stern hearts - I bet you lot didn't let them get away with anything.

[ms-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I think all of us are fitted with a 'spot bullshit at 50 paces-ometer' which we never fail to use on others and ourselves plus we rip the piss out of each mercilessly.

In other news - Mapp has just let both me and Mr Pops stroke her!!!!!!!!!!! it's only taken 18mths!!!!!!!! and maybe we'll even get her purring one day.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Oh bless her. Fingers crossed... it's time for a whole new love-in once they turn into purry lap-muffins.

[ms-siobhan.livejournal.com]

We think we might have heard a purr too but it is a very quiet one compared to her sister's loud rattle.

I am such a soft sack of shite that I might actually cry.

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

*likes*

[ms-siobhan.livejournal.com]

It is a beautiful piece of jewellery but I do miss wearing my silver coffin that contains a skeleton but Mr Pops always looks sad when I take my heart off so I leave it on.

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

Hah! He really is lovely. And so "you".

I am at home alone in comfy clothes with tea, and am making the most of the opportunity to catch up with 'my' programmes from the past week or so. So far I've managed 2 episodes of 'Heroes', 1 of the new 'V' (there's some potential, tho' it might go rubbish), 1 of '24', and I'm about to start 'True Blood'.

I find that I am becoming less tolerant of other people with age (noisy bloody schoolkids on public transport!), but at the same time I'm developing more of a 'live and let live' attitude to people who aren't directly affecting me. A strange dichotomy.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

I think I will give new V a try, if it is on freeview.

I know what you mean about the dichotomy. I think overall I have become less tolerant (e.g. of the noisy grunter that sits next to me at work) and yet it gets on my wick when other people are intolerant about things that I consider petty. Nobody can win!

[ivory-goddess.livejournal.com]

V's on SyFy (or however they've rebranded themselves).

It won't be as good as the original - no Michael Ironside! (see icon) Although I have noticed a slight homage in that some of the female Visitors do have their jackets unzipped far too low. That was how you could (unofficially) tell a female Visitor's status in the original - the lower the jacket zip, the higher the status... (I suppose if youre wearing a fake human skin you can give yourself as much cleavage as you like...)

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... not sure if we get Syfy. We might have to wait until it turns up on another channel. (I remember being quite into V the first time around, but have pretty much forgotten all of it now.)

[ivory-goddess.livejournal.com]

we have the DVD...

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

I embrace my misanthropy.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Thank you Been... (I'd recognise your voice anywhere)

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

Black topper to a wedding, red dress? And you claim not to be a goth...

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Oh you... ;-) (I'm hoping more for film noir than goth sympathiser)
