Fantastic and Tragic.

Earth Girl gets crafty!
See how talented I am. It's just a pitty I have no one to give it to as Cosmic baby is no doubt to big for it now !!!
fucking bastard printer
I don’t know why that fucking piece of shit fucking bastard printer fucking hates me so much. I want to smash it up and then jump up and down on the pieces and then spit on them and then set fire to them and then laugh manically before being taken away by the men in white coats. I really can’t take any more.

Earth Girl and the eventful day
First we had to call the police on the chav who was beating up his girlfriend in the alley next to our office. The I discovered a Banksy on my lunch time walk. (I’ll post a pic tomorrow)
And then I committed fraud – well I pretended to be my boss so I could sign for her credit card. The courier was a dead ringer for Boris Becker.
Yes, this really is what passes for eventful in my world. . .

En-ger-lund !!!
I simultaneously love and loathe England matches on weekdays. I loathe the fact that football fans cram onto the already packed trains taking up commuter spaces and delaying people’s journeies home - and yet, occasionaly you can’t help but be entertained by the antics of the fans.
Last night a very loud group of quite drunk lads got on the train at the first stop and proceeded to debating rather loudly weather ot not they were better off staying in this train or finding their way to Marylebone to get the train to Wembley Stadium Station. They decided to stay - so they could chat up the 3 blonds at the other end of the carriage, and by chat up I mean shout at. They didn’t seem to mind and shouted back.
One of them got into a debate with an old lady – which was more yummy the jerk Chicken in her shopping bag or the turkey sandwich his mum had made him for the journey apparently she said “If you’re off to London for the day – I’ll make you a sandwich !”
They were loud they were drunk, they were obnoxious, they were funny, Wembley wouldn’t be the same without them.

Happy New Millenium !
Surprisingly really I enjoyed last night. I arrived in time to see the priests from the Orthodox church do their thing - don't ask me what it was becouse the Ethiopian clergy have a language all of their own called Geez (it's like Latin to Catholicism).
After spending half an hour on my mobile doing the "Where are you ? - I'm down the front to the left next to the really tall guy with the hat" thing I managed to round up my family in time for the live music to begin. I got a bit excited when I thought I spotted Lenny Kravits in the crowd. But on closer inspection it turned out to be a looky-likey...
They had some famous singers from Ethiopia and played popular music from each of the main tribes and reigons. But the highlight of the performaces had to be the dancers. As well as having its own style of music each tribe has its own style of dance and dress. Each is lievely and colourful and never fails to entertain. The easiest and most common is the Skista from the Amhara tribe. It's basicly sholder shimmying and foot stomping and really fun when you get into it. The whole night was finished off when we had a count down to 10pm (for they were unable to secure the square untill midnight) some lame glitter pseudo fire works went off and the entire crowd jummped up and down singing a song which translated into "We are proud to be Ethiopians" - think last night of the proms African style.

Tonight I'm gonna party like its 1999 !
Becouse it is, in Ethiopia. Yes, just like just about everything thing else in the world Ethiopians are contrary about the data and use the Julian calandar instead of the European one (I can't remeber the name - and I can't be botherd to google it). So Ethiopia is 7 years behind the westernised world but that just means that all the Ethiopians/British-Ethiopians/Britons of Ethiopian desent in London get to celebrate the millenium all over again in Trafalgar Square tonight !
I must say that i am disapointed by the lack of publicity being given to this event - its not even listed on the Events section of the Trafalgar Sq web site. And Red Ken has failed to issue a press release praising the event as an example of Londons cultural diversity (the wanker). But anyway ....
The Millenium celebrations in Addis Abbaba look spectacular with a massive concert featuring all of the Ethiopian pop stars and Beyonce and the Black eyes peas should be quite a party.

what was he thinking ?
Did he really think that shouting "Oi! BIG TITS!" at me was going to make me think, 'Wow what a wonderful complement! I think I'll stop and have a chat and maybe give him my number !'
Some men are such fucking idiots.

Dispite the fact that I left my house an hour early this morning. It took me 3 HOURS, 2 buses, 2 trains and a 30 minute walk to get into work today.
Those fucking striking metronet bastards.
