Dreamt we sped up 1 of our new songs while we watched the world cup on a bed...that's for worms. 'Honey Oats & More' is my favourite cereal at the moment. I have decided because i love my new nipple plaster pot sooo much im gonna take it on next years OLO tour. Might give out nipples to fans. God, Mark Lawrenson looked awful on the football highlights, he looked like he'd just been dragged out of bed. Been wearing a pink t-shirt and bad stubble, i am a bum too. Solange Knowles is my new favourite celebrity, you really need to hear her amazing Dirty Projectors cover (below). I've lost 2 lbs in 2 days. After a tip from Twocsinak i'm gonna rent out the film 'David Holzman's Diary' pronto! He's says it's like my life.

We confirmed the 1st Carrie Vanilow gig! Sat Feb 13th. Keep that date free or i'll be your date the following day! THAT'S A THREAT!! I'll post up more details in 2010.

Ate tasty club sandwiches at a fancy restaurant with my Dad, Grandad & Aunt, had a lovely time. Laughed at today's Daily Express (front page!!!?) headline - 'CHRISTMAS TV IS 600 HOURS OF REPEATS'..the outrage!!!!!!! Been cooking sausages whilst juggling the running. "Hello, is that Don Luis Lopez?". Steve Mason and i twittered about hoovers.

Gorlkeepers (OLO side project feat. ML & GJ) are playing @ The Lanes (bowling alley) Bristol - Sat Dec 12th (about 6/7ish?).

This has been the best year for music since 1999 or 2003 in my opinion. Very much enjoyed John Lydon on Culture Show, i could listen to him talk forever. Tuned in for one of the last ever 'Special Half Hour's, it was an honour and privilege Richard - i will miss SHH sooo much! Watched 'Jeremy Kyle Confronts Knife Crime' in which Jeremy Kyle confronted a few naughty teenagers, acted all tough then and got a bit scared and ran off. Cleaned the house drains, GLAMOUR! Got sent a 3D xmas card from Japan! Genki hey!!

Sat down to watch the World Cup draw..well i thought i was, i turned on the TV and Jasper Carrott was doing the world cup draw!!!??...oooops! wrong channel, its 'Golden Balls'. 'Golden Balls' is soo confusing!?? whats going on!? STOP TALKING!! Back to the real draw..Charlize Theron!? Acting all funny. What was she doing? Was it dumb or fake dumb? GET IT ON WITH IT!!! Why the hell didn't they get Paul Gambaccini to commentate on it!!!? It would be sooo much more fun. Shame Alan wasn't in charge of the draw too. Good draw for us English failures, let's get carried away all over again!

To bleed or not to bleed, that is the 3mm design question..OLO design work probelms. Got an amazing offer! Something i've always wanted to do. I Won't say anything unless i jinx it. Felt a bit glum that i missed last night's Ariel Pink, SJ Esau, Bass Clef gig AND Jamie's karaoke party. Listened back to recordings of last weeks OLO session and the new song 'Disney' - its DARK and gives me the creeps. LOVE it.
