No sleep til Saturday

No time was spared to get home and go straight out again for Viv's Friday night birthday celebration. Kerry was already at the Market bar with everyone else whilst I battled against the South London rush hour. Parked at K & K's to grab the 8pm train and some complete stranger decided to tell me all about an old friend's funeral he would be attending. Nice guy but completely random. When I did arrive at the bar, the bouncer refused to let me downstairs due to overcrowding and pointed me to the bar. Luckily it only took another 5 minutes to join the rest. It always feels a bit awkward arriving late when everyone's four rounds in front. Had to put up with George's son teenage-drink ranting cockiness until he fell asleep. By which time everyone was in a mood to head back home for a impromptu party. I struggled for awhile DJing, using Kev's records but finally started finding the good stuff. If it wasn't for the mortgage appointment the next day a serious bender would have continued. Left Kev a little worse for wear having to rely on mix albums to pick out record playing order.

Majority of Saturday was sleep with only the mortgage appointment to deal with. Watched Pan's Labyrinth which good and worth watching but a tiny sense of let down from all the rave reviews. Perhaps I was hoping more fantasy content but the gory violence was very well done. Sunday was bit crap with a walk around a boggy New Forest.

TV is getting quite good lately. Lost is recoperating from the bland series start-up, Heroes on Sci-fi has also really grown on me. Life on Mars missed an excellent opportunity to go full speed with Camblewick Green. And welcome back Japanorama. This week was about Ai (love) and Koi (romance) and just emphasises how twisted Japanese can be with sexual deviations. Host bars were always popular but a new trend for wealthy women to be entertained and the wierder ones seeking the company of women with beards! Other lo-lights were Manga comics having men loving each other for a target audience of romance-loving women - it's just so wrong!

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
