This weekend's movie slot was blown on Wet Elephants. Which Mr Dee really wanted to see. What the fuck has marriage done to us? Anyway, he bought me a little tub of Trampoline's orange-and-poppyseed gelati, which partly made up for it. AND this week's Date Night (cheap-arse Tuesday) can't happen due to body corporate meeting, but at least there'll ( Read more... )

Hmm. Well. I have new fingerbling and a sister-in-law (hi, 17catherines!) and the Male is now officially Mr Dee. We have a house, and a car (a quirky mid-90s beast we have named Pendleton). I've found a commute strategy that means I can almost always get a seat. We have had a weekend where he gardened and I baked and did washing. I occasionally wake up in a ( Read more... )

Addendum to previous: COMBICHRIST, at the HiFi, 5th Dec. I've been kicking myself since I missed their last tour. I am so there it's a wonder I haven't spontaneously developed teleportation skills so I can get the Male's credit card right now to buy my ticket. (Company welcome, because I suspect there's no way in hell I'm getting him to this show ( Read more... )

So, I'm leaving the country for a month tomorrow ( Read more... )

For those interested, I finally got the Spiderbait punk/grunge demonstration songs up in my last post.
