Hello, Dirty Vicar here. Bless me Sinister, for have sinned. It's been several months since my last confession. I'm not really sure what I've got to show for my time off. In fact, this post will be a succession of negations: - I have not started a blog, as I am not so narcissistic as to think people would like to read reports of my daily walk to and from work. And while I could fill a blog with record, gig, comic, theatre, etc. reviews I'd probably not keep it up to date and so the whole thing would be another life-item to be depressed about. - I did not go to Glasgow to see Belle & Sebastian play. It certainly crossed my mind, but vicaring does not pay as well as some might think, and flying over to stinky sterlingland. In any case I am flying over to Glastonbury in late June, and I must ration my appearances in your fair country. I was also a bit skint because I went off to that Iceland for Easter. Everything you've heard about Iceland turns out to be true. I liked the place a lot and I'm thinking of going back there in the winter to see what it's like then. Sadly I did not meet any B&S cover stars while I was there, nor had Damon Albarn been reduced to pulling pints in his bar, but I did see a littli pony in the zoo called Sigur Ros. do you know who also hasn't posted in ages? That's right, that plucky Jenowl. Where is she these days? Or has she resubscribed under a different name. I'm all excited about the Eurovision on Saturday. Apparently the organisers are going to cut to a video if t.A.T.u.'s stage act gets too smutty. One final thing - if I promised you a tape of anything and haven't sent it to you, will you send me a mail reminding me of it? maybe then I will actually produce this tape for you. Oh, maybe.
