Sunday 28 December 2003

Do yourself a favour, brighten your day by downloading Toxic by Britney Spears, where Indian violins are crossed with flamenco guitars with a hint of spaghetti western bass overtones here and there.

One note away from trying too hard. Over the top almost in a parody kind of way. Stereotype-laden lyrics. It works for me.

Saturday 27 December 2003

Having decided that my body was ready to hit the scene (as opposed to the scenery) again, I quickly emailed the Royal Vauxhall Tavern regulars / fellow bloggers I used to hang out on a weekly Sunday afternoon basis, to see what they were doing on New Year's Eve, hoping to meet all at the [...]

Merry Christmas! For it is tonight, and not on the 25th, that Dr Bitful and I are going to celebrate it this year.

My man is going to spend it with his family in Birmingham and I'm going to stay in London and be with friends. I cannot say I feel ok about this - he [...]

Do you think a double-ended dildo would be a selfish Christmas present to your partner? Just wondering…

Today's Most Tactless award goes to…

…the nurse who gave me an ECG (yes, half the London medical profession is still trying to figure out why on earth I succumb to the law of gravity more often than the average human), only to freeze half-way through with a startled "oh dear". I asked her what the [...]

Sunday 14 December 2003

As of this afternoon at 3:30, Dr Bitful has become Sensei Bitful - he got his black belt in ju jitsu.

Don't even dream of messing with me. My man can kill you with two fingers.

One of my technologically challenged friends has recently clogged up my Yahoo mailbox with .wma files of Madonna mashes. Interesting stuff: Nothing Fails mashed with (I think) the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Power Of Goodbye with the Cranberries' Zombie, and a superposition of American Life upon some tough heavy thing (Metallica?) that works rather [...]

You'll never get to heaven

If you're scared of getting high
Kylie - Body Language - 06 - Red Blooded Woman

I might be gay after all - well, I'm not surprised, since I've been listening to it on repeat until I-Shall-Learn-To-Appreciate-It whether I like it or not!

Wednesday 10 December 2003

Warwick is a magnificent historic town in England. Its castle is one of the most beautiful in the country, and its charming streets are lined with spectacular ancient buildings.

So I've been told - I could not see much from the back of the ambulance that was taking me to the local A&E.

Things are not going [...]
