Today's mood: :-)


Woke up this morning quite early because Jon and I were due in Finchampstead (the other office) for a meeting at some ridiculous hour (10am) and his car's dead - again. Anyway. The result of getting up early was that I had time to sit for half an hour and watch American "Queer as Folk" as my copy arrived from Gordon this morning.

Well. It's certainly interesting. All a bit hyped and over the top - with little drops into the dialogue here and there for stupid people who can't understand what's going on. But in contrast, some of the one liners are incredibly witty (by American standards) and I've been sniggering as much as in the real one. Their Nathan (Justin) is cuter. Music's shit. Intro sequence is complete wank.

No. All in all it's nowhere as near as good as ours. Ours was hardly subtle but - well - no. Not impressed. I've watched the first three episodes and it was doing well until the plot deviation where drugs overdose boy wakes up rather than die. For mush reasons probably. And Nathan/Justin in therapy with his mother? Where did that come from?

Apparently there's a new Ab Fab being filmed at the moment. After te last ever ever last one ever they did last year. Ever. Obviously. Hm.

Cooked a yummy thing for dinner. Couldn't work out what to do with some salmon, so I steamed it and whilst it was cooking, fried up some onions, mushrooms, peppers, brocolli and mange touts with some herbs and spices which I then mixed up into some cous-cous and served as a side to the fish. Incredibly yummy indeed, I thought.

BabyGareth is coming to stay tomorrow until Friday. On Friday I'm off to Tripodia for the weekend. I will be crippled by Monday.
