Going to Matter, o2 Fri night to see and not have Crystal Method; also quality breaks from Evil Nine and Scratch Perverts going well into Sat morning daylight.

On the eve of my birthday we went to a Northern Chinese rest in Liverpool St. The cuisine has Middle Eastern influences; historically some Turks went on a walkabout and settled in Northern China. Chilli eating dares maybe wasn't the best idea before my birthday. A dining companion from Shanghai was alarmed that i went for a 56% local spirit; 'my Dad doesn't have that and he's from the village. They put ads in the paper saying to be careful with it'. Want to go to Indonesian rest Bali Bali in Shaftesbury Avenue. At the stroke of midnight we were in Camden. I made last orders at the Clarence, Balham 12.45am. After 1.30 the chillies and spirit started kicking in and i paid for it that night and early morning..

On the Sat the family and myself had a lunch buffet in Yar's Village, Tooting which always looked interesting. Then birthday carrot cake. Did my birthday in town this year; called Enter the Dragon's Den at the Dragon, Shoreditch..Bruce Lee meets Peter Jones. I thought 15 people would come but it was 30; all cool people. Want to do another party for something; bring people together.

Sunday saw cautious Liverpool lose to Tottenham in spite of Gomes. They were boring and had no tempo. Johnny tinkled the ivories back at the flat. VH1 were showing a Madonna Top 50; i enjoyed again Causing a Commotion, Dress You Up..pure pop melody. Her voice live is banal and in interview she's forever justifying herself; deeply insecure.

Think there's going to be an alien film; set in South Africa, called District 9..interesting.
