Dancing

[andrewducker]

Vain!

I got to dance to Fade to Grey _and_ Geburt Einer Nation (Laibach Nuremberg-esque cover version of Queen's One Vision), chat to Anna _and_ got introduced to Phyllis, a friend of Erin's who's cute, interested in a wide variety of artistic type things _and_ a gamer. Has a boyfriend, before someone asks, but also has a livejournal, so I can at least have another Edinburgh person to communicate with.

I need to know more people that do things.

mmm, gaming...

i wanna do more stuff.

i also don't want to move from this sofa right now because walking along sauchiehall street in non-sensible shoes at the speed of lightning is not fun the day after.

I'm not an RPGer but I like board games and don't have any fellows to play with eg scrabble, Continuo and this appalling thing called Tantrix I was introduced to on holiday..

[andrewducker]

I've been trying to find people to play board games with for a bit (mostly for strategy board games, but almost anything is fun).

Fancy a game of something sometime?

What and risk In Real Life Contact stuff? :)

I was thinking about that post of yours actually - I do know what you mean.

But yeh - next weekend maybe? I'm crap at everyting but scrabble though ! (Where are you? I'm in Bruntsfield.)

[andrewducker]

I'm in Restalrig, near Meadowbank.

To be entirely accurate, I'm here.

Tell you what, you can beat me at Scrabble first, then we'll try something you're crap at :->

[green-amber.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I was THAT good at Scrabble either! :) (oh god, the sound of an academic in pre-intellectual humiliiation advance retreat!)

[andrewducker]

If I tell you that it took me 3 attempts to pass GCSE English will that help?

What is it you do, academically?

Law. Mostly Internet law. hence my completely unshared LJ interest of "Internet regulation" which does surprise me a bit given how many geeks are here..

[andrewducker]

Odd, I could have sworn that I added Barry Ween and Shade from your interest list already, but they don't seem to have taken.

Rectified, along with internet regulation. Whioch I do care about, although I'm not a libertarian.

Well and thank christ for that! :)

Shade fans used to be thin on the ground - most people picked up on Bachalo on X men and Milligan on his later Marvel stuff. I still think Shade is way the best thing he ever did.

[andrewducker]

I liked Milligan from his 2000AD days, but I tend to agree that Shade was fantastic. At least the first 30-odd issues. After that it kinda lost its way. But certainly up to the Shade as a woman section (which was most excellent).

[green-amber.livejournal.com]

Yes. And Shade as a lampshade and a mattress cover - magnifique! I miss Lenny... (actually if you were watching Kalifornia tonight, when I went to see that in the cinema I thought the main bad girl lead would have been perfect for playing Lenny - I can't even remember who she was now..)

[andrewducker]

Juliette Lewis. Also fantastic in Natural Born Killers and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

She's rather spiffy, and would indeed pull off Lenny.

PS so how bad WAS Underworld? I'm going tonight.

[andrewducker]

Fun, not great, slightly amateur, pretty.

If you liked Equilibrium or Highlander you'll like it.

[andrewducker]

Oh, I've added your AOL account to my Trillian friends list, but it hasn't shown your existence since.
