Jelly Tots

Lots has been happening recently...

Ok, so no job has come into view, but I have been applying. Moving on.

My haircut keeps getting compliments from everyone! Yay me!
I'm not working as insane hours anymore and I think i've developed an immunity to caffiene (again).
Hit Portabello Market with my mate Alex yesterday and found the most gorgeous jasper and silver ring.

The new Motion City Soundtrack single has been released and teh video is HERE!!
I love this band and can't wait to see them in October!!!



There has been a lot of panning by the critics to the new Icky Thump album by teh White Stripes. I think it's pretty unfair as they keep measuring it against The Raconteurs (Jack's other band). The point is, that the White Stripes are SUPPOSED to sound like they do on this album, cos it's a WHITE STRIPES album, not The Raconteurs!!! Anyway, here's the single's video:




Also in the news: My Chemical Romance is starting work on thier next album. YAY! We may only see it in 2010 though, given the extent of thier touring which is going to be until the summer next year.

Well, I'm off to watch Pirates 3. AAAARGH!

Stoopid!

So the White Stripes released thier first single 'Rag & Bone' on a limited edition red vinyl 7".

Fab.

If only I could coax my dvd player into opening wide enough to accept it. DOH!

Spent this week doing 4 double shifts in a row. I've clocked up about 66hrs a week in working. I had two days off, but being a sucker and laptop-less, I decided to take two single shifts covering today and tomorrow before my next double shift session starts.

Stoopid.

Speaking of...

I'm tired of dealing with the Stoopid people making Stoopid requests and asking Stoopid questions. Yes, they do exist.

No, we don't sell Malibu/Archers/J2O.

Which of the 15 types of brand lager do you want?

Ice with that?

No, I don't want to make you a cup of coffee - Starbucks is right next door. So fuck off!

Strangely enough, I can deal with this level of ignoramousy from the comfort of a desk, behind a computer screen, but not when I've been on my feet for nearly 15 hrs, emitting seven types of eau de booze, my fingers are raw from being plunged alternately into hot steam or ice and my face is shiny enough to require patrons to wear sunglasses when ordering.

I don't give a shit if you want two or four blocks of ice in your drink. I don't care if you only drink through a straw - cos we've run out. You ordered a vodka cranberry and so you will drink it the way I serve it.

Why?

Cos I'm the barman, and I'm always right.

Innit?

Engaged....Outraged

I know that when someone you like gets engaged or married, there are two options.

1) Put your heart on the line and tell them, secretly hoping they'll break the engagement and sweep you off your feet.

2) Brood about it over a cup of hot chocolate liberally enhanced with rum, shrug your shoulders, wish them the best and get on with yoru life.

Gerard Way is engaged.

I'm taking option number 2.But only cos I'm a nice person and not deranged enough to actually track him down at the Muse gig on Sunday, kidnap him and then elope. I'd never consider the ways of getting past security, what natural drug i'd use to sedate him or which chapel to steal him away to.

I'm really not that mad.
Really.

Moving on...

Went to the first international football game at the New Wembley Stadium on Friday night. Saw Beckham in the flash.
He was all of 3 inches tall.
Apparently my ticket stub will be able to cover my rent in ten years time.
Couldn't it cover it now????

Still job hunting. Need to get out of the pub before I climb over the bar counter and strangle the next customer who asks a stupid question!!!!
