Favourite new metaphor (is this correct use of the word metaphor Fong?!!)

"she pushed me into the burning house and shut the door behind me the cheeky wench"

Rock n Roll Dudes - but don't play in the snow!

Snow Blues
Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine
Jiggling yr knees blank-eyed in the rain
When it snows in yr nose you catch cold in yr brain

Taken from the Rolling Thunder Stones Troupe Newsletter, Nov. 10, 1975.
(Dylan fans will know!!)

Stunned, sickened, shocked, disillusioned, hurt and betrayed

I may never buy copy of The Sun again. Read below for the damning "article" (if one can dignify it with this title) to see what has provoked my response.



ASHTON KUTCHER is taking the sex drug Viagra to keep up with energetic DEMI MOORE's demands in the sack. The actress's toyboy lover has admitted to taking the potency pills after a pal sent him some.

Kutcher, the star of surprise US box office hit The Butterfly Effect said: "Man, it was like a rocket taking off from a launch pad. You want to go longer than you usually do."

"But you lose a lot of sleep because you can't roll over!?"

The actor has a big surprise in store for Demi he's saved one pill for a really wild Valentine's Day.


Sickening

Big Fish!

We just came back from seeing this film and all I can say is ...."WOW"

Stealing the words of Tress from Ain't It Cool News; I really wish I could come up with a long thought out, detailed review of Tim Burton's Big Fish, but I just can't. I have tried all day to come up with words, phrases, and anything else to describe how perfectly beautiful this movie is. I wanted to say how it moved me to tears and made me wish it would not end. I wanted to rave and praise it.

The impact of this film was only slightly jarred when I realised that the giant (played by the talented Matthew McGrory bore more than a passing resemblance to Pete of Antihero


Breathtaking

WORST and BEST day of my life

Woke this morning bleary eyed after 7 Year Glitch (aptly named) madness the night before. Tom skedaddled before I even got into the shower and then I skidded off down the slippery road to work.

WORST

Arrived in to work and turned on the computer to be greeted by the news (thanks CNN) that Ashton and Demi are going to get married!!!


Sickening

BEST

My little boyfriends Scottish leg of the tour has been postponed due to diabolical weather conditions! And to think I was cursing the snow. Yay! He'll be back in London tonight.

*glee*

Fucking Snow



My poor little bear is on the way to a cancelled gig in Newcastle :(


Gig last night.....

It rocked! All acts were great!!! Yeep yeep!!

I invited Dickon and he came!! That man always looks so pristine! His laundry bills must be humungous. (NB - if you follow the Dickon link, its HIS webblog mentioning ME from last night....reading that is a very strange affair!!) I promised Dickon that I would dream about him last night but I ended up falling into such a deep slumber, nothing flickered through my head but inky black sleep.

Also Simon Bookish is NOT SCARY IN REAL LIFE!! He is absolutely lovely and funny and cool. We love Simon Bookish!!! I wanted to describe his appearence but Dickon does it much better! Here is an excerpt:
"Resplendant in black judo trousers with red belt, black pinstripe shirt with red striped tie, a diamante brooch in the shape of a bunch of grapes, and a hand-sewn polka-dot 15th century clown's gown, he throws himself about the stage, and often into the audience, with such zeal that it's both thoroughly exhausting and invigorating just watching him. One man with the energy of a 74-piece dance troupe.

Was a lovely, fun evening.

And off to 7 Year Glitch with a mystery guest!! Alex_Teapot and Jo Zapp are plugging their laptops in and that.

Analyse This!!

Check below for an eerily good analysis of my dark and twisted psyche!! From a web quiz no less!! Wanna try? Go to Colorquiz

Your Existing Situation

Feels obstructed in her desires and prevented from obtaining the things she regards as essential.

Your Stress Sources

Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Feels that she is burdened with more than her fair share of problems. However, she sticks to her goals and tries to overcome her difficulties by being flexible and accommodating.
Unhappy at the resistance she feels whenever she tries to assert herself. However, she believes that there is little she can do and that she must make the best of the situation.
Willing to become emotionally involved as she feels rater isolated and alone. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense, though she tries to avoid open conflict.

Your Desired Objective

Urgently in need of rest, relaxation, peace, and affectionate understanding. Feels she has been treated with a lack of consideration and is upset and agitated as a result. Regards her situation as intolerable as long as her requirements are not complied with.

Your Actual Problem

Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem


I guess they could have condensed this in one easy to use sentence

"Ms Mira Manga suffers from The Goddess Complex in Extremis - ego ahoy!!!"

Oh well, at least I realise my failings

Fuck all non-believers!! (Not literally, just using "fuck" as an attention grabbing expletive!!)
