So, Mort yesterday turned out to be not just Mort, but Mort - The Musical! Or rather, half of it, as I will explain shortly. With ingenious original all-singing all-dancing numbers such as "You've got to make a living somehow" (from the apprentice market) and "Something's wrong but I don't know what" (from Sto Lat, where Reality thinks Princess ( Read more... )

I have two-minute noodles for lunch and they are cheese masala flavour.
The sheer wrongness of this delights me greatly.

Well, after much agonising over whether or not I could afford the time out from work, whether or not I could afford it and whether or not I could bear to miss out on a pre-booked weekend at the Edinburgh Festival, I'm off to catch a train! I'll be coming back on the last train tomorrow night (instead of Monday as previously planned), so I'll only ( Read more... )

How does this keep happening? Once again I am at work feeling too tired to go home... *yawn* and I wanted to go to the gym today, too. And I haven't written any words, though I have done some editing and been to a seminar, which probably counts towards research work ( Read more... )

... brrrrreasts....
(especially for danniiboy)I don't entirely understand how this became a meme by name as well as by nature - how did you all know it was happening and that it was a meme? I was just confused by random zombie posts - but I am, as usual, a zebra climbing a tree rather than running with the herd, and hence hopelessly out of touch with the ( Read more... )
