h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Phil & Clay's goodbye drink was loads of fun, especially catching up with several people I hadn't seen in a while (most notably Anno "spaceboy" Mitchell who is very cuddly and close friend who talks lots of sense in a wonderfully non-boring way). Biff had come up from Eastbourne and unleashed a stream of amazingly funny stuff... if Quinn had been there she'd have been yelling "WRITE THIS DOWN!" every five minutes. Ended up going back to Jo's place for late food and talking till the early hours... really glad I did. Shared the bus to work from Stoke Newington with her which took an hour, but it was okay even though I felt pretty ill. Got plenty done, though, including winning secound round of phone-tag with the increasingly incompetent Netbanx.

Slept 15 hours on Saturday. Needed it. Still felt tired afterwards when wandering the city with 'Grid, listening to "I Am Kurious Oranj" by The Fall. "I was very let down-uh... by the budget-uh... I was expecting a one million quid handout-uh..."
(Much kudos to The Dancing Tree's musical tastes, btw. Big shout out to the sub-eds massive.)

Sunday was Benny's stag day... he's my best mate, I'm joint best man with Rafi, who arranged clay pigeon shooting in the morning (my shoulder is still aching). I arranged the pals dinner in the evening at Solly's in Golders Green before he and I headed down to Soho for proper late night drinking in seedy dives. Went pretty damn well.

Media: "Dog Is Life/Jerusalem" by The Fall/William Blake. I'll be in Jerusalem in three weeks... Shim's there now. I hope the nice girl calls him again, it's not fair otherwise.
 

This is all well and good, but doesn't explain what you're doing up at this late (early?) hour. Going jogging after the night out, or has bedtime just not happened yet?

Jogging? You joking?
Nah, just got back pretty late from the drink and decided my next journal entry was way overdue.
And what are YOU doing up at this time? (Don't give me any of that "different time zone" nonsense)

I was watching the solar eclipse. Amazing thing--around 8:00 PM every night, the sun is eclipsed by the earth. I stayed up to watch it, then saw you doodling around.
