Turnaround and blink

My life is filling up faster than I can imagine, and planning further ahead than around a week or two at the moment is proving ultimately futile as my social calender crams itself repeatedly full. Not that I'm complaining but it's a total change from what it was like only a few months ago when I was plugged in virtually every hour that was there was available into another world, aka Evercrack now I'm busy catching up on so many things to do in this real world (latest joy discovered, baking) that I've just decided to sod it and go with whatever, so my tricorder is on order and flight will likely be sorted out soon.
You only live once so sod it and do stuff I say, well I do now, as opposed to 'must get next AA' which I was mumbling like a mantra a while back.
Life wakes up and pokes me in the eyeball and says 'Oi you, remember me?'

Yep, I'll be in, I need a fairly quiet night in after several weeks of chaos!

Flight? Where are you off to?

[identity profile] robinbloke.livejournal.com 2003-04-24 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
This http://www.labyrinthmasquerade.com/ if I can get a flight under 300 or so quid

Huh, I thought you hated Labyrinth?

[identity profile] raggedyman.livejournal.com 2003-04-24 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I do?? I dont like the Bowie bits in it as I think he's a bit lame and i deffinetly think his music numbers are increadibly 'glued in' to give him a free mtv video but I would hardly say I hate it. Its a Jim Henderson flick with gobbos and mek in it fur krists sake! you think I wont like that?? ;-)

I remember you bitching about it when we were discussing watching it at Robin's (something along the lines of "whatever, just not Labyrinth"). I always thought it was a bit strange...

[identity profile] raggedyman.livejournal.com 2003-04-24 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
iirc that was after a load of folks had done it to death. Like when The Crow or Pulp Fiction became perminent tv wall paper in leicester.

Wow, very nice.
Ask [livejournal.com profile] themadone about an auction site where you can bid for flights. He got his to Dallas for 250 quid or something ridiculous like that last year.

NB: You might have a Steve Jackson autograph but I have one from Brian Froud (who did all the Labyrinth art) AND an original sketch :oP

Oooh they do the other way too? like say Chicago to London or Edb?

[identity profile] karohemd.livejournal.com 2003-04-24 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's a UK site but I could imagine that similar sites exist in the US.
Ask [livejournal.com profile] themadone (Chris_T on IRC).
The problem is, it's usually last minute and that's a bit too uncertain for me. I blame my German heritage. :o)

That looks cool. The first Changeling samhain Abby tried to get that sort of, but it failed... She may put in more effort this year and smite everyone who doesn't turn up. Moody Satyr is a good satyr. ;)

Nope, sadly not so; especially not after last nights booze binge.
