For the love of fucking ridiculous outfits

I went out last night and this is what I wore. (Don’t ask me why my head’s at that funny angle. Maybe it always looks like that and I just haven’t noticed until now.) I saw the playsuit on River Island’s website about a week ago and it subsequently appeared in visions on a daily basis until I bought it on Thursday. If you’re able to imagine such a thing,...

Shows I have missed recently because I am entering...

Audience (Ontoenderenderndrend Goed) The Table (something to do with puppets) Lovesong (dancing about bereavement - looked lovely) 42nd Street (everyone said it was mint) PLS SEND HALP Edit, 23.25: You can scratch Lovesong off that list. I got so pissed off with everything when I posted it at breakfast time that I said FUCK YOU THE MAN and got on a train after my lecture. Despite their...

"You are live at the Arts Council's annual...

A few weeks ago my mate Hannah asked me if I’d like to be one of nine arts-types live-blogging ACE’s annual conference in Manchester next month. It’s all officially-sanctioned and everything.

But, I have a birthday approaching. Thankfully,...

At the time I was energised by all the bad news, and simultaneously really pissed off with uni. Every assessment felt like pointless crap and I just wanted to be out of Leicester and living an adult life again. My uni course is...

CASEY AFFLECK IN THE BATH KLAXON

There you go. Don’t say I never do anything for you. I just watched THE BEST FILM. Even if Casey Affleck wasn’t naked in the bath during an early scene, it still would’ve been THE BEST. It’s called Lonesome Jim and did I mention Casey Affleck is NAKED IN THE BATH IN IT. I’ve had LoveFilm for ages now. It may’ve even been a New Year’s resolution a...
