Weds 28 February
Today I woke up at 6am and fell into bed about 3am and spent all of those 21 hours WORKING!! My brain is scrambled.
At 6am I started work on my column for Who's Jack magazine. I love doing it because it is creative freedom rather than the stupid newspaper I work for. But I always think long and hard about what I am going to write because I only get one column a month and I am FULL of creative juices that have been locked away inside me while I conform to the stupid newspaper I work at.
Anyway, I got it done before lunchtime when I went to meet a contact for lunch in town.
Before that I even managed to file a few newspaper stories so they thought i was working...
After lunch I met up with the newspaper website team, who want me to work on that. I think that was one of the best parts of my day as I love internet stuff.
Did a tiny bit more work planning what events i was going to work at that eveing. (Lily Allen's gig at KOKO in Camden0
Left the office at 4pm to get to the BBC to film the TV show I normally do ion Mondays. That was another higlight of my day as they are actually nice to me.
Then I went shoping to find a col outfit to wear to the gig. While I was in the shopping mall, I saw a tesco and decided to get champagne to perk me up (I was feeling so low)
Drank the champagne (a half bottle) as i was getting ready and jumped in a txi to Camden. Met a colleague, who was wroking with me, grabbed our after-party bands and watched the gig trying to avoid all the daily newspaper journalist leeches.
ried to find a cab to after party but couldnt so had to walk to tube and 10 mins after tube in the rain.
Made it to the after party to see lots of daily leeches so whatever story we got would not have saved until weekend.
And then we had a vague moment of high when we saw Lily Allen's bro do something he shouldnt have done in the venue's toilets. My colleague had a video bag -it could have been front page stuff.
But the stupid girl - a trainee - said she didnt feel comfortable doing it. I am too well known so couldnt do it myself. And we wasted the opportunity.
By the time we stopped faffing around it was 2am! Then she started apologising and I just wanted to get a taxi booked, which I did, and then had to travel home.
Did meet onecute man - ed, who is an a and r man. He is well gorgeous and intelligent (he went to oxford) and came up to talk to me at the party. Sadly he did it when i was mid lily allen/ lily's bro chase so I wasnt concentrating. But he was gorgeous and nice and it makes me wonder if he is a 'potential'...NME man has been well quiet recently
