Drunk and drug-fucked

So, it's 5.43am on Sunday.

Since waking up at 10.30am Saturday I have:
  • Decided not to see an 11am film at MIFF because I was tired and hungover;
  • Given away two free tickets to the Melbourne Art Fair;
  • Read The Pundit, The Age and the latest issue of Australian Book Review;
  • Seen a doco about GLBTI teens, Follow My Voice, that literally moved me to tears;
  • Given half my sushi lunch pack away to a homeless guy in his late teens/early 20's when he said he was hungry, and then wondered if I was being either patronising or fucking up his chance to score;
  • Chatted to an old crush on MSN Messenger and realised that although I still feel tender towards him, I no longer desire him;
  • Had a drunken 26 year old Italian-Australian guy come out to me at A Bar Called Barry as being bi on the eve of his wedding, and tell me that his family, friends and certainly his fiancee don't know that he likes men as well as women;
  • Debated the value of the new Australian film Em 4 Jay with an old housemate turned successful film-maker, a muso friend, and their respetive lovers;
  • Talked about Copenhagen with a beautiful expat;
  • Snorted both coke and speed;*
  • Claimed that I am a card-carrying critic, and then proved it;
  • Drunk cider, red wine, red bull, a chocolate milkshake and Coca Cola;
  • Masturbated three times;**
  • Worked on a new short story and then abandoned it as being a stupid idea;
  • Seen photos my mate Mike took of himself post-bashing;
  • Procrastinated;
  • Eaten Barbeque shapes;
  • Watched Dr Who and taken great delight in it;
  • Yawned.
  • Blogged. It's the new religion, don't you know?
  • Updated this list at 1.38pm Sunday.



*Note to self: hang out with film-makers more often.

**Actually now I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was only twice, but this is still probably too much information for some of my readers. Hi mum!

Top of the morning to you, sweetheart!

Well done, sounds like a full day, nothing to complain about there.
I dont know about the combo of chocolate milkshake and red wine though...

Cade said...

Hey man
Do you mind if I put your blog in my links, its great I would like my friends to read it?

Morning, Bonnie.

Jay, the milkshake and red wine were, thankfully, consumed on seperate occasions. The idea of combining them as one beverage is rather nauseating, isn't it? As to linking, please feel free; and thanks.

If my life was half as interesting as your's I would probably kill myself thinking "it can't get any better."

Mmmm, Barbeque Shapes. The original and the best.

christ! you can manage all that with a hangover...? i am voting for you come next election. you're a man who can get things done. i woke up vomitted and fell back asleep.

I spent the night with the doctor too. I wholeheartedly approve of David Tennant. I do wonder if perhaps one of your 3 hand shandies was spent during the show.

richardwatts said...

Stef: if my life was really that interesting it would have been three roots, not wanks. ;-)

g-man: good to run into you last night. Least you think I have a superhuman metabolism, I should point out that I had chemical assistance as regards recovering from the hangover.

fluffy: as much as I admire Tennant, and think him far preferable to either Sylvester McCoy or Colin Baker, I don't fancy him that much. However, as I seek to preserve some mystery about my life, I won't disclose the details of when, where or who I was thinking of at the time...for which I'm sure many people are truly grateful!

Stef said...

Ah yes; sex. I think I remember that...

Speaking from the position of an arts student who studies various geekdoms, may I add to the Tennant discussion that I've never seen so many TV geeks cream themselves over a casting decision since Chris Reeve guest starred on Smallville.

He does have that cute Scottish puppy thing down pat. Its Billy Boyd all over again...if Billy Boyd was attractive.

See what I mean about my life being uninteresting? sigh.

Fucking hell Richard. You sure know how to pack in a weekend of activities.

I’d be interested to hear your views on Em 4 Jay. I was offered a rather stirring opinion on it last night, particularly Nick Barkla’s performance.

richardwatts said...

No worries Ukelele, I'll post a review of it later today.

Gosh, a weekend like that, anyone would think you lived in inner Sydney!
