good times are coming...like standing out in the desert for two days.

s'a fookin good dae f'meh. jus caem home frum a dialect lessn and th'ress uv th'day wus luvley too. cunt!

*having trouble droping the manchester*

so getting the oscar noms was bloody brilliant and should have been the highlight of my day. but they weren't. no, not by a long shot.

the best news of the day then should have fallen to the fact that the lineup for coachella has finally been released. and, believe me, i did have enough of a spaz about that.

but the best news of the day, the news that siri sent me through email and actually made a sound come out of my mouth loud enough to scare someone in my office was this: franz ferdinand is playing coachella. yes they are.

and i'm going to be there to see it.

full line up under the cut for anyone interested.

one other thing:  i am an idiot.  i've been wanting to hear more from imogen heap for a while now.  for some reason, i knew her name, knew her from somewhere, her voice seemed like an old friend...maybe from a soundtrack or something?  lots of word of mouth?  did someone put her on a mix for me?

no.  she's the singer from frou frou.  who's the biggest frou frou fan i know?  I'M the biggest frou frou fan i know.  and i couldn't place her name?  idiot.

but.  she's playing coachella.  retardation forgotton in a blurry state of bliss.

another good playwright gone.

goodbye, wendy wasserstein.  well done.

i think you all should know this.
