'Here's another clue for you all...'
It's largely been a quiet week around here which has been just fine by me as I've been pretty tired and it's been incredibly hot and stuffy.
One of the highlights, however, was getting this month's copy of Mojo in the post. They're doing a two month special on the Beatles' 'White Album' with the first half written up this month and the second half in September. As it's my favourite of the Beatles albums I'm really pleased to see the coverage, but I'm less than thrilled with the CD of 'White Album' covers that came with the mag. Some of them are truly awful and just go to show how good the original material was in the first place. Maybe next month's CD, which will be covers of the second half of the album, will be better. I'm not counting on it though. :o)
It's also worth noting that Mojo also featured a review of Tom Waits' show in Mobile, Alabama, earlier in his current tour. Funnily enough they were using the same ringmaster and Frankenstein references I used and seemed to enjoy the show just as much.
Let's see... Um... I finally got around to finishing 'Fables: Sons of Empire' yesterday. It seemed like it was largely filler compared with some of the other books, but I still enjoyed it. Now I just have to pick up the next couple of books. I might wait until I get to the States for that though as it'll be cheaper. :o)
And Allie and I watched 'Batman Begins' last night which we both enjoyed. I'd seen it in Scottown a couple of years ago, but as we'll be going to see 'The Dark Knight' this week I thought it would be worth it to pick up a copy to watch over.
We've been eating well over the past couple of days, too. Last night's dinner was home made pizzas with ham, mushroom and goat's cheese, plus roast courgettes. This morning we had tomatoes, sausage and fried mushrooms with some nice bread. And, cooking at the moment, are honey salmon, sweet potatoes with goat's cheese, courgettes and sweet corn. Yum! :o)
The coming week is looking much busier than last week with the aforementioned 'Dark Knight' on Tuesday, a dinner at Pizza Express on Wednesday and the CAMRA Great British Beer festival on Saturday. All of which I'm really looking forward to. If the heat will only let up it should be a great week... :o)
