Where the hell were you standing to only see a cm of his hair? You must have been incredibly bored, that background (and Janet Weiss, and the inconsolable violinist) was the only thing that kept me going (and the drink). Sometimes I completely forget I went to that gig at all, it really wasn't very memorable.

I've been alright. I'm finally starting to be a grown up and get a job, and think about the future. DrunkenWerewolf's going well (apart from the lack of money)...

How have you been? See you've got a new EP for download, going to have to check that out right now in fact...mind if I link it on the blog?

HI Captain Polaroid

Thank you for uhm.. making us your top friends!! AND!! You should check out our EP ShiSho Will Punch You - and good for you that you have an EP coming out tomorrow too!!!

Andddd!! THERE'S A MUSIC VIDEO WITH IT!!! on our myspace page. It is RADICAL DUDE!!! It's about ShiSho will punch everybody if they do not listen to this video. That's what it is about. The song is about America Punching People and it's not good for America to Punch People... it's BAD! REALLY BAD!!

But it was fun making it. It was really fun. I got to eat chocolate. And after we did the birthday cake shoot we got to eat it. Because it was a REAL cake, can see that. And we got to get splashed in water!! And we did that in only one take. Well, we did it the day before and it didn't work because my dad didn't film it.

AND! I got to ride my bike. If you can see that little grass sticking up.. that's where I was supposed to put my bike and I did. So if you see that little piece of grass sticking up . That was where I was suppose to put my bike and I did.

Vivian just got here she had a sleep over at a friends house. Because it was her friends birthday.

Good luck with your EP!
