shut that door ya lettin 'draft in, ya daft 97. or. i never could get the hang of thursdays

just so you aaaaaall know, it was a truly amazing weekend indeedio!! good times were had by all and all had a good time. apart from a slight tree incident...but that wasn't a major issue. sheffield is as groovy as ever and so are the peoples therein. i massively overslept this mornin, no time for coffee or shower or owt, there could be only one possible reason-today must be a thursday, i never could get the hang of thursdays.




i'm currently re-reading dracula, i dont' know if i've already mentioned this. it came from re'reading frankenstein in preperation to seeing danny boyls new play. in reading both of them it is apparent how much of the books i had forgotten, though it had been many years since the first readings. i remebered enjoying frankenstein a good deal more, and certanily i very much enjoyed it the second time around-maybe i'll go into it more another time. dracula seems to be a little thicker if that makes sense, it takes longer for the story to progress and for them to bluntly, get on with it. but i have found that i am enjoying it while i was expecting to get bogged down with it. i think because i am quite a bit older and better read now that i am enjoying the language and wordplay whereas before i just found it tedious. its interesting what the passage of time does to us. i've got about a third of the book left and am looking forward to the unfolding of the final acts. although,
**SPOILER CITY** i've just read the bit where miss mina has obviously been bitten by the count for the first time, yet after everything thats happened, she hasn't twigged!! alright so i know that he has many devious and cunning abilitys, mind control and stuff but still, its just a bit annoying ya know?


consequently perhaps, i've also been watching some supernatural films and television....next blog perhaps.


bangers and mash for me and the mrs tonight, get in!

its a 96'er of a blog. or. or jus a couple o'rambles really.

i'm trying to find a 'what i'm reading' type tool to add to the ole page-soon hopefully. so for the moment i'll do it in the basic form of telling you here. i'm re-reading dracula and a third of the way through its largely evident i've forgtten a fair bit of it. i'm really enjoying it actualy, though i seem to think it may get slightly tiresome a bit later. i'm at the stage where mister van helsing has arrived on the seen and has seen how queer the puncture marks are on miss mina's neck, oooo.

i also wanted to put something straight for anyone who has read this blog for a while (do you exist...really? i'm sure you do ha ha ha) or who has gone back to post 69 where i state my personal involvement with another blogger. the personal involvement which i just mentioned has come to a deffinitive end!! no rebirths or coming back from the dead or sequels-KAPUTT!! many many many many months ago actualy but i've only just thought to address is so there you go gentle ppeopls. lets put it away forever and ever **rubs hands together in a cleansing moving on manner**


i also re-read frankenstein recently which is just one hell of a book. i'm not sure its something i can go into great depth at the moment but i'm sure i will at some point as me and the mrs recently saw a screening of danny boyles recent play....and it was just stunning, completely blew us away. just stunning.

massively looking forward to an awesome weeken with some of the best people in my life. thats it for the moment.

happy new april. or. about bleedin time

i think the only real reason i stearted this blog was becasuse i havent done one for mooooooonths..

works gettin me down a bit, i need to break free and go somewhere amazing if only i could figure out where that was. i'm home alone on satdi night havin a drinky and creating a playlist on we7 entitled 'p beat times', i'm up to 'eels', goddamn right its a beautiful day and all that. i'm not being at all methodiical, just randomly goin through bands and artists picking tracks that are-would you fuckin believe it, upbeat... and you know, make me wanna move about and sing and all that. havent done the smiths yet, best get on it.....alrighty so i just added the smiths though i think i forgot the queen is deed (i'll get to it).
onto the undertones, musn't forget my perfect cousin, already got 'you've got my number (why don't you use it)' love that tune.
anyway thats all a smoke screen for my real life. as i think i vaguely mentioned, i'm gettin massively restless, bein stuck in the studio all week is gettin to me a bit. don't get me wrong, its far from a hellish life, working life i mean. outside of work being with my girlfriend isthe happiest i could want to be, i'm lookin at these pictures that we got from bristol zoo-tourist jobbies but still brilliant, i love them. all iwant to do is be with her, i feel we could be unstoppable together, catastrophic disasters aside-we will be if i have anything to do with it!

enough of my reqal life. gone back to listen to the bunnymen. its been hours since i started this bloody blog...other stuff-
saw the new trailer for green lantern, it looks absolutely brilliant. look forward to seein it. i'm also very much interested in seeing thor, captain america and subsequently the avengers. so far i thin the newest marvel films have been ace. iron mans and incredible hulk i thought were really well done comic book films and i hope to buggery that the trend will continue. particularly i hope they don't fuck up the hulk in the avengers. i thought that edward norton did a top job acting wise-shame he was such a massive dousche fest off screen! i thought i would be pretty drunk as this stage, what with haigving drunk this much spirit **note from elrossiter (this is far from a regular occurence for elrossiter) but i seem to be oreight-though i might discover this in a few days and it'll turn out i've written 15 thousand words about merlin the happy pig ha ha ha ha.

me and the mrs went to see a screening of danny boyles frankenstein the other monday in the lovely place of hereford. needless to say it was incredible. he completletely captured the essence of the book, the morality, the emotion, the feel that mary shelley portraid. he changed some details and some of the relationships but hey, when something is adapted from one media to another it is surely nessesary. i had no crittisims whatsoever, mr boyle has achieved something truly brilliant and as far as i am aware-no one else has done anything half as as good with the original book, loved it! i re-read the book just before seeing the screening and really is just so wonderful and clever. the way victor frankenstein creates the creature into a massive form, and so, it/he has massive emotions to reflect his huge stature/being. he is first of all full of love and hope and wonder at life and the world around him. the first summer breeze and heat makes him gush with happiness, he truly exults in natures beauty and her ways. but ofcourse mankind despises and abbhors him, even when he does does good and saves a childs life, they/we, see only a wretched monster. hey ho and so he turns to evil and all that. er... danny boyle did an awesome job is all i'm tryin to say. i need to finish this blog, it should have some pictures really. i nearly forget the queen is deeeeed, doin it know.



thanks,

yes hello again, hello. or happy new 84

yes i'm fully aware of rubbish none blogging and yes i'm fully aware of the bunnymen promices i have made. the bunnymen blog will come...just not today....but hang tight people. oh i dunno, i had so much to say but now i'm struggling to put it into some vaguely comprehensible format.

crazy things are as usual a-foot, not least of all the follow up to crazy office shenanigans, which put simply involved about a month of not very much followed abruptly by MUCH SIR!! yes indeedy things have turned most very interesting and will 'touch wood' work out very nicely ;)

good times are being had via my bass guitar, for she is getting a lot of use and i seem to be getting through strings at an alarming rate! bass strings are practicaly indestructable....i must just be hammering them still and not realise it, though i'm now using a softer plectrum. they must just be shite strings, its the only plausible explanation really.
songs i am currently playing are-

the bunnymen: do it clean, show of strength and the killing moon.
arctic monkeys: fake tales of san fran

i'm reading pillars of the earth by ken follett which was gifted to me from my brother.
watching supernatural and doctor who, the matt smith years
and listening to the cure

and now radio 6 is playin the buzzcocks 93. or. one guess which track it is. . .

this is all incredibly strange ocourse and i'm not convinced i know what to do with it. i suppose thats what happens when your part of these crazy office shenanigans/scandals/impulvise things with colleagues your very close with. oh i'm really not sure whats goin on or what she's thinking....i mean i think we're basicaly gonna be alright but it seems like it may be a bit of a strangled path towards that point. or it might not, its complicated by the fact that i'm still pretty friggin knackerd from the weekend and got minimal sleep last night-sleep just wasnt happnin. i don't think she wants to go to that place but then again does she-I DONT KNOW i dont know i dont know i dont knoooow....i think we're gonna go for a drink and a lovely none awkward none complicated none difficult chat one evenin. hopefully to buggery i'll have been able to sleep before then. oh i dunno man, just part of life i spose.

-next blog

theres always fucking something 89! ! ! or. new musics fantabulousness

oh fuckinell seriously!! (tune out if you aint interested in a yorkshiremen ranting)


first off orange fucked me off by being utterly useless incompetent dickead pricks. i still don't know if they've got it right after fucking up my extortianate bill. BT fucked me off days earlier with a bill that is both bullshit and surely fictional, i'm gonna haveto fone the dickeads to sort it out which means adding to said orange extortionateness. the bank havent fucked me over any more than usual recently-which means i'm probly due one.
bottom line as always is that there all MASSIVE KWONTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! caps lock abuse and smashing my keyboard keys as i type-YOUR DAMN STRAIGHT!!! why must they all fuck with my life??!!
and worst of all to top it off, my tea decided to chuck itself all over the floor :( sad emoticon. i had the washing machine on, which is next to the oven, the washing machine for part of the cycle vibrates quite intensly and melodramaticaly. so the pan of sausages red onion and lots of lovely potatoes was edging towards cliff edge of the oven. i don't know what was going through its commulative mind, 'making a bid for freedom'? or simply part of a 'lets screw the bearded tennat over bwahahaha' plan. i heard it clatter while i was away in front of the fire (cos its bloody freezing) but managed to salvage some of it. bastards!! anyway.......


new musics baby!! during my satdi explorations to kings heath in birmingham i got me some new music. one of the boozers was having this bar top sale 'thingymabobbby' which was car boot type thing in the back rooms of a boozer. so for the fucking fantabulous price of five squid i got the following-
new boots and panties by Ian dury and the blockheads,
aouljacker by Eels,
the greatest hits by Squeeze (god i love cool for cats)
and the first self titled album by the Coral.

all of em for £5-stunning, at another time i would have paid 5 squid for new boots and panties, i've listened to most of em and there brilliant, i'll well happpy. the blockheads are playing as we're speaking. on my explorations i also visited some charity shops which is one of my favourite ways to chill out, unwind and purchase some great finds. todays find was the book 'Rama 2' by arthur c clark. i read 'Rendevous with rama' a few months ago and thought it was a cool book and very well written, there wasn't much revelation at the end though, no 'holy shit', 'thats fuckin brilliant' moments. but now we have a second book which i didnt know existed so hopefully-cue revelations and momentous shocking announcements ha ha. i know he's capable of them-see 'childhoods end'.



and just so we don't forget
