Looking coy for Coyne August 31, 2010

Wow. Flaming Lips are going to play all of Soft Bulletin at Ally Pally next year. Tickets go on sale on Friday. I’m seriously tempted. They’re still in my top five favourite bands to see live, so much fun. It’s a guaranteed grin fest. I love it. It might have something to do with how unbeliveably fit Wayne Coyne is. He’d definitely get it. He’s the perfect husband guy, he would look hot just drinking wine while sat on the sofa, with a fire roaring next to him. Maybe he’d have a cat sat on his lap too. Occasionally he’d sing you a little song about the rainbow coloured hippos he believes live at the bottom of our garden. Some days you’d come home from work and he’d set up a pool band in the dining room. He’d be lovely.

All Grown Up August 27, 2010

I’m 27 now. Though according to Luke I look like a combination of these three. Gutted. One day I’ll look grown up and sophisticated. Saying that, I’m wearing dungarees today, so I’ve got a pretty long way to go.

Never mind the fact that I don’t really eat bread, I need these in my life.

MTV brilliantness August 2, 2010

Last week was the I Worked At MTV in the 00s party, the name makes it bloody obvious what it was really: a reunion for all us kids that worked there in the last ten years. Soooo much fun!!!! The night was originally planned for about 20 or 30 people, but soon enough there were 325 people signed up to attend on the Facebook page. I reckon a couple of hundred people turned up and swamped a tiny beer garden in Camden. Incredible. It was so wonderful seeing everyone, even though I was only there for 18 months it did feel like a proper reunion. They really are the loveliest bunch of people you could ever want to work with. It’s great being somewhere were everyone shares that same passion for music. They all know everything there is to know about the last ten years of pop music, I love it. Everyone was wandering round with a big grin on their face, such a wicked evening.

It was proper organised too, with wristbands, a photo booth and a few of the staff DJing. Brilliant.

Oh my fucking god. I hope I’m ovulating right now. My long term love and obsession, Camille at Le Tour De Force, does a range for children!!!! I’m dragging Luke back to mine right now. No wait, that’s a five minute walk. I’m dragging him to the stationary cupboard.

Wow wow wow.

Getting rich July 29, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — helenium @ 5:48 pm

I think I might become a full time gambler. Is that a good idea? I’m pretty damn brilliant at it, I figure it must be pretty easy to make millions on it. Has anyone ever done that? I can’t think of any rich gamblers, plenty of drunk ones on my way to work of a morning though.

I’m having a think about buying a scooter at the moment. It won’t be for a while yet, but I’m massively tempted. I love zipping round town on Luke’s, it’s so much fun and soooooo much quicker than the tube. If I get one it’s gonna have to be this bad boy. It’s a one off, built in the 1930s, so I might have to save up a bit first…

Pizza girl July 27, 2010

Wooh! Yesterday was my 27th birthday, jeez I’m old. It was such a good day, Luke & I headed down to Windsor for a bit of middle class exploring. Turned out the races were on so we got ourselves some cheap tix and gambled our lives away. I rock at gambling. After 7 bets and 3 rounds of drinks I finished £14 in profit! Yes!

Got fairly drunk and fell asleep on the train back. I’m so classy… pizza on my lap.

Photos and stories from the big celebrations over the weekend to follow.

I think I’ve found my winter boots. Aren’t they wonderful????? I used to have a pair of DMs almost exactly like this when I was about 11, I lived in them (after a few initial weeks of absolute hell breaking them in). Oh fuck, I think I’m going to have to get them. Never mind the fact it’s mid-summer and I’m sweating in plimsolls. Love them.
