  It's quite lovely to be back to the Prox after a wee hiatus! I had such fun with Jenny in NYC and my fine flatmates(minus one) in the Hampshire. So many stories, such little time! I will be sure to post a link to my pics once I get them uploaded (as well as the pics from The Stills show a loooong time ago).
I must mention the funniest night we had in NYC and that was the night of the Keane (pronounced Keen) show. We came to find out that it was sold out, but the door guy mentioned a slight chance of some tiks being available come showtime. So we kicked it in the barski, waiting for some news. In the mean time, this fella perched on a stool and started strumming his guitar...but the shocking part was his voice. Seriously, he sounded like Joni Mitchell, enough that I looked around to see where the gal with the microphone was! I missed the first ditty, but Jenny said that the refrain was a repetition of "tiny" sung like "tiiiiiny, tinnnnyyyyy". Hee hee, so we started singing "hold me closer tiny eunuch! " We ended up getting into the Keane show for free and it was sweet, but not as enjoyable as tiny eunuch.
Oh yes, and Jenny and I had a thought. Now I know most of us read urlLink 1.21 Gigs on occasion and one predominant theme (aside from musical thoughts and whinings and the occasional political piece) is the use of vulgar nicknames! Seriously, they can refer to one another as shit stain and dildo and everyone seems to know the suspect in question by that nickname. Perhaps Proximity can trump them with vulgar nicknames of our own.....? Finally, this book called urlLink Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman looks hilarious!
He is apparently a senior writer or editor for Spin Mag and this is his second novel. I read the exerpt on borders.com and laughed about his emo bit! Teddy would be a fan....he talks about how there is no true love in the world anymore because of Coldplay and John Cusack. Very funny and it could be next on my reading list.
