| This week I have mainly been seeing shows, because the lady is away, but her best friend has come from Austria to cat-sit and see shows.
I saw Les Miserables earlier in the week, and if I were them, I'd feel a bit hacked off being put in too small a theatre for my epicness. In fact I shall call it Mini-Mis. Beautiful scenes, beautiful lighting, plenty of tugging at the heartstrings, but 10 cast members short of stunning.
Which left room for it to be outshone by Les Dennis and Mel from Mel & Sue doing what can only be called 'Mock Eurovision'.
Eurobeat is exactly what you'd expect. International stereotypes and milked until dry, poor euro-pop, a intro from Tezza, innuendo, witty co-host banter and a round-Europe 'televised' vote at the end.
It was about perfect. The best kind of low-brow entertainment and the closest thing to actually being at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Avenue Q was still my runaway favorite. I expected it to be darker and more out there, and it loses some lustré when you know a couple of the big numbers, but otherwise I have fully invited the bad-idea bears into my life.
I managed to dodge the twin bullets of Mamma Mia and Never Forget. *Always* read a synopsis before going to a show. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Q: Apart from Mint, do any herbs taste good with chocolate?
It's understood that a lot of spices work perfectly well.
A: Over to you...

| Dear lord. Did anyone get the number of the party that hit me? Thankfully avoided a proper hangover by virtue of being still drunk this morning. The tactical error was Cava straight from the bottle. Sorry to whoever bought it along :/
Thanks to all you lovely people for coming and making it a festive. Thanks to the non-lovely people for making it a lot of fun too. I officially transfer my winter affections to New Year from Christmas Day, which was a little bit on the shit side.
We really must have more gatherings. Say in about 1.5 hours? | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
|  Dear lord but these birthday celebrations are gonna kill me. The wonderful and moderately messy party on Friday was a fantastic start, involving as it did the major food groups of great people, copious alcohol, pizza, turkish delight, whiskey and champagne. And poker. And Guitar Hero. The cake was (mostly) a lie.
Then down to London on Monday and the guys at work whisked me off to the Newman Arms Pie Room for hot pie action and beer and presented my with my own personal attack chopper for living room warfare! Thanks to dave_chimaera for the lift down at fuck o'clock in the morning. A greasy motorway breakfast always wins over the train.
 Finally last night was the gathering of spods in London, which I co-opted as another birthday celebration and a good excuse to get dr0nk again. GBK does the best burgers ever, followed by the best champagne cocktails ever at Kettners, then finally a few jars at the best Dutch bar in Soho...Ever! murasaki_star also gave me emoMyspaceCred in woollen form. Win!
Tonight is a hopefully a sedate night at the cinema to see Stardust finally. Unless things go a bit turbo.
I less-than-three my friends! | | comments: 23 comments or Leave a comment |
