Blowing off the cobwebs
3 Jun
- God, it’s been longer than a week since I updated, surely that is some sort of record? I have been busy with work and spending quality time with my ball and chain so it hasn’t left a lot of time left for blogging. Quick Review: Work – alright, I am doing a shitty shift this week which is causing me massive amounts of stress which is entirely unnecessary. The shifts have all been changed so there is a lot of dicking around and under staffing later in the day and it’s just a shit storm. I don’t like it. Miss Jones – spectacular. I went over after work yesterday and she had made me dinner and dessert AND we ate by candlelight!! Seriously, the nicest thing EVER. I was so over it by the time I got to hers, but walking in and seeing dinner being made and table table all set, complete with candles, it was very easy to forget my ordinary day. As part of dinner, she made garlic pizza which happens to be the most delicious foodstuff on the face of the earth. It was literally just a layer of minced garlic as thick as the pizza base itself and then covered with cheese but it was sooooooo good. I fucking love garlic, and I swear this will be seeping from my pores for the rest of the week, but it was so worth it.
- I am so excited for the long weekend, not only because it means a four day week next week (that is also further interrupted by a special performance on Tuesday morning, fucking yes!) but also because I am just so over this weekend. I’m going for a 3 night stay at Miss Jones’s which is so awesome, even if we do nothing it will be awesome. Not that we will do nothing, on Saturday night we have the lovely Deb’s birthday party for which I’ve been asked to play Mix Master General…or, rather she asked if I could throw together a playlist, but I rather fancy myself as a mixologist for the phat beats.
- Being paid = win. Going from a single digit bank balance to a four figure one overnight is pretty fantastic. I’ve done my best to piss through it like nobody’s business so far and, as it usually goes, I have almost nothing to show for it. Awesome.
- I saw the Comedy Festival Roadshow last Saturday with Miss Jones and it was pretty shit. Four comedians I’d never heard of and aside from the girl (Cecilia someone) it was a bit rubbish. In previous years I have cried from laughter at least once but this time, no. I am disappointed. We also saw Lesbian Vampire Killers the previous night and expected it to be a lame, cheesy, horror film and were very surprised to find it to be a pretty decent watch. Kinda dark, British humor and the story is a little bit lame but it was pretty funny and well done in terms of paying out the film it could have been.
- I am so excited to go to bed right now. Seriously, sleeping is the best thing ever. I am so wrecked at the moment that I spend a lot of time every day either guzzling coffee or fantasizing about crawling into bed. I swear that I am not as tired as I was when I was working in Japan but it feels like I haven’t slept in years. Yay pillows, yay sheets! I bought new sheets the other week, the are “vintage” Sheridan sheets from the 70s. Being used for almost 40 years has meant they are just incredibly soft and smooth and an entirely fabulous 70s purple floral print. I adore them!
As I read this I was eating pizza leftover from last night that me and DBoy made. It is covered in garlic, because you are right, it is the most delicious foodstuff on the face of the earth.
Was Sam Simmons on the roadshow? My parents went and he was there and they heckled him – apparently he was REALLY bad!!!
i.h.m.n, it’s always nice to know another garlic fan. There is no food that cannot be improved by garlic.
Enny, no, not this time but I’ve seen him at a previous roadshows. He’s really not funny, I just don’t appreciate his style of comedy at ALL.
