[music |unravel - bjork]

the oxfam "books and music" near m e is possibly the best charity shop ever. since coming to farnham i have found:
discworld 1 the game (1992) with original box and manual
3 stephen king books in perfect condition of the same series
the complete inspecter morse collection for a tenner
the last ever fast show DVD still sealed for a fiver

and now:

original first edition packaging of Jurrassic Shift by the ozric tentacles, complete with handwritten (!) order form and note to the buyer. this was the fabled 500 pressing with hemp paper. in perfect conditoon and i got it for £2 cos nobody knows wh the fuck they are!

its beautiful.

im also doing shitloas of work, if anyones interested.

[mood | busy]
[music |Work it - Missy Elliott]

getting close to uni, and the packings going ok. i have however spent more time backing up dvds etc... but itll all work. candy got bacl from glouchester and i managed to find a stopwatch that i nne=eed for uni (mayeb for timing things, not really sure yet.) the dinign room is filling up quick with all my vrap.
any you guys seen the enw colege? went to check it out when i got my art cw back, and its really nice except some severly shit colour choices. my dad would whoop their arses for the dumb shades. pink floors? wtf? purple walls to go with that? bloody mad. but the bildings nice.
ikea is the home of all uni stuff. got it all there cept cutlery hairdryer and arty stuff. im now trying to find a .10a scalpel. first contact is copying as i type but my computor wont do any bloody american dvds, most of candys are from there, so no high fidelity or dogma...
ive restrung my guitar and given it the biggest fuck off clean ever. like, 3 hours wiping the gunk of the frets, and it now plays v. nice (but i had to tighten the bridge as i have put 10gauge bullets on instead of standard tso its pulling the tremalo up all time) no ernie ball stirngs at the guitar shop, so bass will wait. ( tho my mum sed she would send some up as a preesnet, whcih saves me £30)

after katys rock apper siscors thing i played the weebls one, and one once. you just have to click loads.
um.... going to preorder sin city tonight and probably rent hitchhikers so ic an steal it.
this is my lunch break.

Friends only I'm afraid guys. If you are a friend, comment and I'll be the judge of whether you deserve to be let inside. It's not really worth it and "Hey Sesame" won't work. But if you try it, it will give the other members of your household a cheap laugh.
