i feel that balance is being restored
i used to think i didn't like January
but i'm finding it a wonderously quiet time of planning and building a magical hive of activity for a spring transformation
yup - many wheels in motion - buzzing with plans and creativity and getting stuff done
. . . . on the geekier escapism side of life my Rock Band character has been singing well and gotten herself a wonderous wardrobe to express herself with ........photos soon........thanks ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
biog ^_^
impatientboy (lj) Chris has gotten round to posting a little suffin on uuuutoob xXx
us in our Plague Songs outfits in youth hostel
rat in Hyde Park
pumpkins large and small in Covent Gardenlots of places - lots of things . . . . photos above show a last minute trip to London via pain of a 13hour megabus journey (the best part of which was a weird insomnia felt and photographing the road and lights giving fun effects - i must post those)
the last minute trip was in order to go to Plague Songs at the Barbican - artists selected to compose a Plague themed song for a film/and the event - very good genre crossover as well as music/art crossover . . .
. . . the people we wanted to see do their songs were > Imogen Heap - Patrick Wolf - Rufus Wainwrignt and June Tabor.............the whole thing was outstanding and suprise star was Damon Albarn at the end - bit indifferent about him i suppose but his song was very good and worked great with kids choir........Imogen had an astounding song - voice was incredible and a beautiful unsusal musical prong plucky thing which sounded great - she also sang with Rufus which was lovely > Patrick did a wonderful theatrical kind of crossover into performance art and looked like a lost sailor who had started to turn into a Mer-person........and there was fake blood at the end too .......and June Tabor was utterly haunting and brilliant
there were those three weddings in September ...........and my awesome trip to Dunfermline and we had to go to Paris ..........and i have loads of new trinket designs so am going to have to upload photos of all of these things too
last week we went to visit Gemma & Damien in Glasgow and go see Patrick Wolf (again) .. . . for some time now i have been trying (i use that term loosly) to give Patrick this letter i wrote him and some trinkets i make him ..........i'm not that geeky really - i'm amazed i had time to do it being that i don't have time to update this etc and my life is some bizarre whirlwind - i guess i just felt really compelled to do it ........anyway - i handed him bag of said stuff on stage not feeling like hanging round the tour bus in hope of being able to say hi and passing it on . . . . a few days later it occured to me - having not been on the forums ever before that maybe there was a bit with recent gig photos (i wanted to know if he liked the jewellery) low and behold he did ^_^ - he's wearing 3 of my items at once (Giraffe round his neck - key on Aqua chain hanging off waistcoat and yellow glitter key hanging off his shorts
i didn't want to make a big deal about it because that's not why i did it ..........but it did make me happy so i thought there'd be no harm posting it here
(see little ^ key just there)
you can see the giraffe properly on my website and a similar key on chain http://antoinette.bigcartel.com
will give a proper update about new stuff tho
more updates about all my adventures soon ^_^
lots of Christmas orders and stalls and stuff but i've neglected this for too long - it's been a crazy year
- Mood:
busy - Music:Bishi - Nights at the Circus
journals today but it didn't even go back far enough ....plus i didn't really have time to read them all
so i really do hope everyone is well
anyway.......i think i may do a proper post too........but for now here is the new stuff
i have no holiday money so if anyone fancies buying anything in the next couple of days that would be lovely :D
http://antoinette.bigcartel.com
it'n't this just a picture :D ? (that phrase is so ambigious)
trying to look french with the french?
crazy 0_0
i've *just* finished everything
but really need to tidy the house before my Mum gets back tonight 0_o
and i need to pack for my flight (taxi at 7am)
i WILL be ordering more perspex designs ............. etc........but it's nearly everything there is going to be for the next wee while
so go look :) http://antoinette.bigcartel.com FREE gift to the first 15 orders (as well as the free hairclip)........but if you don't order today i won't be able to send it out till i get back
knackered 0_o accidently went to Mudd club for a bit last night ...........hehe.....must have had lots of alcohol in my system still from Obedience School (stall went pretty well there).........and i had a good night ^_^
Damien babysat me at Obedience School and helped with the stall as Chris is away ........we found this funny little creature i made when i was little at about 5am......i have lots of them around the house..........weirder than say for instance Clementine's potatoe people in Eternal Sunshine............we giggled lots about what if my stall had been entirely these creatures..........i'll have to post a picture for you to get it......hehe
and LAST night Damien AND Gemla babysat me......i'm so lucky ^_^
they're quite awesome actually.....
the person doing the handstand is Chris ..........
.......see if you can recognise me
the project is called Dumkoppf and the artist Jeremy Lorne Ingles
see if you can see me ...... (i look a bit silly but that's sort of the point)

- Music:Shortbus Soundtrack
......today was a busy day especially after staying up too late and then realising i could't fit in enough sleep in the window of time before i needed to get up.......
.......so off i skipped into town with a list of errands all for
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
impatientboy i admit i haven't done that much work for him this week so fair enough i carry out the errands........though i had to be at Limousine Bull (in Torry) to invigilate the exhibition by 12noon*gets into town at 11.35.........dash down crown street to shoe place with Chris's shoes.......across to Central Library to return Chris's hideously late Library cds........dash down Belmont street to Fopp.....*
now Here's where the shit happens..........
Chris got two cds for learning cover songs for Club Sapphire but one was Adam Ant (and my Mum had a better one already) and the other was Elton John (i suspect that that was unecessary because they play so much Elton John in that place while Chris isn'tplaying - cd may have been uneccessary)
I hate returning cds to Fopp ........they always act like you're a fucking pirate EVEN though they have the whole 'suck it and see' policy......i just don't have money to waste on cds i didn't like and wouldn't listen to.........if i like them i keep them.........so i often don't bother buying there so much........but recently when i've been in i've always been served by the same snotty condecending girl and it didn't help considering that today all rushed and a little sweaty from the hot sun and rushing around
so i say 'just got a couple of cds to return'.......she says 'sorry what?' as the music is loud and looks at me like a piece of turd
.........i repeat myself and she asks why (you know in that way like you might as well have just shot Bambi.........okay maybe the wrong parrallel but i'm tired..........) so i say ' My Mum's got them already' which is the short version of the story........they don't want the long one but they still act like your're a criminal with any explanation.........and i'm thinking *what the fuck? they haven't even been taken out of the cellophane!!!?*........and as she takes them from the bag a little shiney slither also emerges and sits on the counter 0_0 . . .
it's the torn of edge of a durex wrapper........a nice shiney pinky red and blue durex wrapper slither 0_0
my little claw like hand speeds across the counter and snaches it away........
......and we continue like nothing has happened : /
so i had to phone Chris and tell him what a little bitch he was for sending me on such a contaminated errand :)
it was actually brilliant to just here his own shocked, mortified.....hillarity filled reaction
yes......it IS quite hilarious........
and he did say i could keep the £10 from the return for my troubles.......hehe
but oh god........as if i enjoyed that girls service anyway......i may never be able to go into Fopp again
unless i know i'm getting something i'll deffinitely keep and i can get served by someone in there who is actually pleasant
Chris had another similar story ....hehe......*chuckle*
- Mood:
embarrassed

you may want to skip to the talking after the video has loaded and go to 2mins30sec
-it's a lovely song which was played in the movie Shortbus (written & directed by John Cameron Mitchell of Hedwig)

My favourite book, Perfume - Patrick Suskind .........made into a film.....an amazing book which works in many languages despite being translated from German.
It is indeed the favourite of many, several people i have introduced it to now count it as such and having difficulty with reading it is the only book i have read more than once and one of few i have ever finished.....
I'm going to make a cut ......mostly for those who haven't read the book ......if you've read the book and i tell you about the film i don't think it will really be a spoiler......however if you plan to see the film and haven't read the book.......try to do that first :)
- Music:the oohlas - small parts

It's set inside an old Juke Box (big Mama Juke) .....and the different parts of the Juke Box are different characters who all come from different music eras..
...hehe....Chris is playing the baddie.....so come and boo him......he's an evil glam rock god called 'Stylus' and is the needle of the record player.....he's got a hilarious Teddy boy sidekick called Limbo .........and there's a princess who everyone wants called Neon (like the lights of the Juke Box).......there's a load of other great chracters but don't want to give too much away.....
i know a panto might not sound ace .....but it is!.......and my costumes will rule too :) .........as will the songs written for the show.......and the light show should be quite grand too..
