Synthetic Culture was quite fun except for the ca. half hour when they played rubbish synth/futurepop/overplayed EBM on the second floor and the stuff on the metal floor wasn't to my liking. There was no Goth/Deathrock etc. Loft as it had been double booked for a private party. Not too bad from my point of view but not very good for those who went because of it. The selection on the 2nd floor was a lot more varied than usual, especially in the set between a bit past midnight and 1:30ish which had everything from classic industrial to powernoise with a bit of trancey stuff and digital hardcore thrown in. I can live with that. Most of the people who were supposed to be there couldn't go in the end (ditzy_pole, I hope your tonsils have shrunk) so I only knew reindeerflotila plus Terminal and Viru5.

Did anyone go to the Betty Ford Clinic? Any good?

This morning I had a long breakfast/brunch with three women and after a long chat left again for Cambridge. Coming home I crashed out and watched some A-Team Season 5 (not really my thing, but the episode in the mock Eastern Germany was funny in a cringeworthy way). A bit too serious for my taste, none of the building-a-tank-from-a-lawnmower-in-a-garden-shed hilarity.

Then a long phonecall with mum (still no date on birthday party but at least I know I'll be free on the 3rd), then shopping, prepping dinner, watching Primeval (again not bad), making/eating dinner (pan-fried mackerel) and, forgetting about it and having drunk a large glass of Chardonnay, failed to get to robinbloke's for board games. So I watched Bones and last week's episode of Supernatural instead. Might watch another ep of Masters of Horror and then call it a night.
