crazy bracelets on her wrists and ankles
First day back at work today. Ahhh it was good and mildly weird but mostly good. Everyone was most affectionate at the office, that surprised affection of seeing someone you hadn't realised you'd missed. Or maybe it's just my beaming fatuous face popping around the doorjamb going "Helloooooo!"
Oy.

and I'm about to go to lunch, and on my way to the bank I'll going past a Max Brenner. I've never been in there..I assume it's good?
and your lj...so pretty! I assume that's one of the nifty new layouts?
glad you had a nice first day back!

Bittersweet off Velvet Goldmine. Marriage, off Cabaret. And this. How weird. I think it has something to do with the 'z' and hard 'sth' sounds ... it's kinda cool to hear them sung melodiously. Does that make sense ( ... )

Me too. Especially if I don't know the English version (or it doesn't have one) I try to figure out what they're saying. My German is at a 3rd grade level at best, so usually I get about half the words. *lol* The great thing about Bowie, is that I already knew what he's singing!
I have never heard Cabaret, yet it's one of those things that haunt me...I always see references to it...perhaps I should really have a listen.
Mind you, won't find me humming along to Rammstein any time soon. *is rambling*
*lol*! The lead singer of Rammstein is the only person I know that could make a lullaby sound like it came from the depths of Hell. *smirk*
try the Ecuador dark hot chocolate with orchid flower, or the dark Italian hot chocolate. And lemme know what you think, I'd love to know how it compares across continents ...I will definitely get back to you on that! I spent so much time at the bank yesterday I didn't have any time for lunch! I had to get something at the juice bar downstairs....so, ( ... )

Cabaret is prolly for you what Hedwig is for me ... and, y'know, I reckon with the way you appreciate Hedwig you'll prolly appreciate Cabaret too ... although I do warn you it's nowhere as awesome as I'm led to believe Hedwig is ... but, y'know, as musicals made in 60s/70s go, it's pretty good. Don't watch the Liza Minelli movie. Listen to the original cast recording, preferably the Cumming/Richardson version. And if you can't find it online, let me know, I'll mp3 it and send it over. *nod ( ... )

There's a bit I'd appreciate as a Primo Levi fan!?!? really?? I'm very intrigued now!!
I did peer into Max Brenner when I was rushing back from the bank the other day and it looks intimidating because it's like a huge resturant! I was expecting to see this little coffee shop inside....nope! When I'm not in a rush I'll go in! and hopefully I can just get something to go! (god, I'm becoming such a new yorker. *snort*..)
and it's all chocolate? do they have white chocolate drinks? if so, that'd be so amazing!!! omg!
*is very hungry, must go for lunch!*

*lol* Certainly was in the stage version I saw but it was totally visual, you won't be able to tell just from the score. *zips lip*
Wow, that sounds bigger than most of the Max Brenners here. I think. The biggest one I've seen is the original one in Darlinghurst and that could be a sort of biggish cafe. I guess it's all that food. Man, you'll totally have to tell me what the food's like if you have some when you go.
And just for you, today I tried out the one white chocolate on their menu. Well, I've tried everything else so this was a good excuse. *lol* It's called a Trinidad White Chocolate. I don't know what that means but it was very milky, indeed. It was nice, certainly didn't put me off but then I wouldn't rave about it cos you know I hate the taste of milk, right? :p I hope you try it if the American store has it. Hopefully you'll like it better than me.
(is craving chocolate, must find some!*
