IN WINTER YOU'RE AN AFFLICTION THAT REPEATEDLY DEFEATED ME

our upstairs neighbour gave me this doll a couple of months ago because apparently it looks just like me. haven't really had a chance to take a picture of it until now and besides, i think the snowy backgrounds much better than anything else ever anyway.

it snowed a fuckload tuesday night and it continued snowing ALL WEDNESDAY. me and carl went out to town yesterday when it seemed to be official snow day. half the places in town were already shut at 4pm. including my work. which was a shame cos i was gonna go buy me some leopard print wellies! my old wellies have come apart in a crucial seem around my ankle.

here's some pictures of chatham in the snow;

it's been a while since i've made a proper blog post. not much has been going on, well other than i got my cast of a couple of weeks ago andi went back to work on monday. they've cut down on my hours now though cos i'm sharing days with my replacement. but that's cool, that means i get to actually breathe and have days off during the week. i don't really give a shit about the weekend anyway. it's not like i go out or anything. and i can do grown up things on weekday days off, like go to the post office or pay rent or whatevs. it's a shame about moneys though... this week i worked monday, tuesday and wednesday and i'll be working tomorrow. next week it's monday, wednesday and the weekend. it's been a whole lot less scary being back than i expected.

i've been working hard the last couple of days to get vampire sushi re-opened. i decided to even revamp the website (cos that's how i roll) today i have been writing descriptions and stuff. all i really need to do is scan all the new zines and boom. though there are the few unsent orders from before. they're all ready to be posted now, and i was going to go to the post office today but decided against it because a) its fucking cold, and b) royal mail is going to take ages delivering them anyway cos they're all up to their whatevers in snow. england's not so good with dealing with snow, incase you hadn't heard. but i'm definitely posting them and anything else i've got to post on tuesday which is my next weekday off. not much point going to the post office on my break tomorrow, they wouldn't go anywhere anyway. so yeah, planning a grand re-opening tonight or this weekend. i expect this weekend. i've re-organized the distro corner and it's all nice and organized (no shit, sherlock) and with these weekdays off i should be more able to keep on top of distro shit, even at christmas time (remember last year? it was a fucking NIGHTMARE) i think i'm off to the shop to buy some pie & sweetpotato mash for dinner. we'll see what's left in the shop, yesterday there was no bread and no plain normal potatoes at all!

BUY MY PANTS


SUPER PANTS, originally uploaded by Tukru Loves You.

i finally managed to list some of my awesome hand embroidered pants on etsy! the pictures don't quite do justice to their aceness though. i can also do custom pants if your size or slogan or whatever isn't listed! just message or email me or whatever!

i've also been getting back into knitting, and while re-arranging out bedroom we found loads of wastin my time (carl's fashion label) leftovers. teddy bears and samples. i'll be listing those too as i get a chance, so keep yr eyes peeled.

XXX ON FILM.





















my friend emma kindly scanned a film for me i had sitting around for ages unprocessed & all. i snuck into uni on my day off i can't remember when now to develop it. i really should get back in to film, i just really prefer the feel/look of it. even when it's not exactly perfect. you know, it's a bit out of focus or the flash is all fucked up etc. when that happens in digital it just looks SHIT, but in film it's ok. i don't really understand why that is.. need to do some arty shit in film.

bowties are cool.


what the hell was that?, originally uploaded by Tukru Loves You.

i started watching the body earlier but it was too sad. i actually started crying, for real. like it was real. can’t handle that much emo right now, maybe tomorrow. been watching too much buffy anyway. i shall watch some doctor who instead, while i work on the words for your pretty face #12. i’ve already got at least 16 page worth of text and there’s so much i haven’t written about. started working on it the day before yesterday i think. by this rate, i might even finish it in time for alternative press fair. two weeks.. that'd be two zines in less than two months. i might as well use my time off doing something other than just watching buffy, sulking and sleeping..

in other news, carl is killing zombies with kennedy, castro & nixon. and i had an mri scan today. not the most funnest thing ever, i can say. boring as fuck.
