Sounds good, but - and I'm sure this is a reference to an already-used terminology, which I will attempt to seek out -'Chocolate Accomplice'?

Not a reference to bumlove, but my new partner, who some mistook for this fella



Who looks a bit like Choco Jesus.

I was - for me, unusually - distinctly thinking of gourami's explanation, you'll be pleased to note.

But at least that's all that cleared up now.

Although it is the most filthy partner nickname evah. Which, oddly, means it doesn't annoy me at all.

The fiance doped up on painkillers (Miserable thread for that one.) asleep on the bed behind me, fully clothed, glasses still on, wrapped around a duvet.

Cutest most beautiful thing ever!

/schmaltz

Also still riding the high from a wonderful weekend.

And surprised at having photos of me online that I don't hate!

Sooooooop ruuuuun has made me happy today. It's my first time out with the homeless since before christmas and it's been good to see a lot of the the familiar faces again. Most of them are doing well, though I've heard a few less happy stories about the ones we didn't see.

I'm tired, but I'm tired because many people have been fed, so that makes me happy too.

Getting the pen and paper out gives me a happy.

Wow.

If that's what happens when you break out the writing utensils then colour me happy too. That's ace.

Okay, so the guy who's role I'm covering at work just now brought his three-weeks-old baby daughter in to be boggled at, in the way of proud new parents everywhere. I swear, two or three of the women in the office quite genuinely elbowed each other out of the way in their enthusiasm at getting a look at the sleepy little mite. UterusQuake! Unfortunately I'm still getting over a cold, so the mucoid snort of laughter I produced at this sight turned a couple of heads.

Baby very cute though, no denying it. Look, her toes are wiggling.

I've been a bit down of late, but for the time being I have fishfinger sandwiches and a new episode of Heroes to pick me up.

New babies are a weird phenomenon. They don't do much of anything except squint and cry, and most of them look like they've been put together from a bog standard squishy identi-kit, but so many of us still need to get a look at 'em. NOW!

Oh shit Heroes I'd totally forgotten - YAY!

Truth. And yet for some reason, people get offended if you go pointing that out.

I'm moderately self-impressed with my maturity levels this afternoon - a few years back if someone brought their newborn into the office I'd have been straight into a furrow-browed "Oh for God's sake! Some of us are trying to work! Revolting public displays of fertility!" guy-who-hates-life jag. Now I just go "Aaahh. Babee." And return to my spreadsheet.

My new job is incredibly rewarding. I spend two hours a day in prep, four hours a day guiding kids around the park and two more hours a day walking around 12 acres of near silent woodland.

Today, we had some inner-city kids come in. They where all so excited. Even over ridiculously common place animals like slugs and ants. But then, whilst crawling around through the habitat piles, we found a viviparous (sp?) lizard and *that* is endangered and thus highly exciting for even myself.

All the kids said thanks and asked the teachers if they could come again and they all kno about where minibeasts live and what eats them.

And and and!
After only two days there the rangers are sorting out new programs just to match my skills. I keep accidentally walking in on them complementing me. I'm going to be helping girl-guides with "rythm of the forest" music lessons and helping 7yo make monsters out of mud.

My job is amazing, even though my feet hurt a lot when I come home, I am really happy.

Most wooded areas might. Have you checked?

16:18 / 24.04.07
Not recently. Though I do always check piles of leaves for Sleazenations before I light them.

I just got to see my whole family in NYC, it's hard to get seven adult siblings and the parents together at once anymore. We had a great time together. I also finally got to see my youngest sister in her show and she was fantastic.

Rufus Wainwright just bought me a drink. Or, at least, at the album playback I was given about a dozen free drink courtesy of RW vouchers by RW's little record company man. And some Rufus Wainwright matches. And a RW-mini-sampler-CD. There was going to be a poster but I gave to Joanna Newsom (well, she had the ears so I thought it might be).

Trips - like the drawing. Nathan Barley, ya?

Princess - I have ten tonnes of jealousy for your job! Congrats!

Allecto - If it was Joanna, i will lay fifty tonnes of jealousy on your head. Crush you, it will. (also, can i be your friend and do cool things in manchester like you seem to do?)

My happy -

Just spoke to university and got a Yes to going back to redo my third year. Apparently, the head honcho (who i'd always assumed hated me) said 'definitely' when asked, which is nice.

Also: Going on my first critical mass this friday! It's a silly one with kid's bikes and shoppers and choppers whoo!

What's a critical mass?
 
 
petunia
14:43 / 25.04.07
Critical Mass Is a monthly cycle get-together done in loads of cities through the world. People cycle in groups around cities, usually taking up the whole lane and having a nice time doing it. It doesn't really 'stand for' any particular thing (though can stand for many thing - war protest etc), but is generally done with the intention of promoting use of bicycles, along with increasing drivers' awareness of bike use.

Fun!
 
 
All Acting Regiment
14:43 / 25.04.07
It's a mass bicycle ride incorporating critical theory, no?

Tramp, if that's the same "head honcho" I'm thinking of you did very well. If it's cool things in manchester you're after you might consider the upcoming (wonderfully mid-exam) Crystal Castles and Dand Wind gigs.
 
 
petunia
14:51 / 25.04.07
I dunno if it's the same guy - he's head of the philosophy dept. Still a bit of a meany.

In other news: Fuck! that crystal castles stuff is good! gottabethere, gottabethere!

CM gets its name from:
The term "critical mass" was adopted from an observation made by American human powered vehicle and pedicab designer George Bliss while visiting China. He noted that in traffic in China, both motorists and bicyclists had an understood method of negotiating intersections without signals. Traffic would "bunch up" at these intersections until the back log reached a "critical mass" at which point that mass would move through the intersection.

It was probably not her. She has a concert in Berlin today.

17:33 / 25.04.07
Are you going?! Go!

Saw her the other weekend in Dublin.

That Gave Me a Happy!
 
 
Mistoffelees
17:45 / 25.04.07
Yes, that might be a nice concert. I like her new record (except for that atrocious monkey song). But I rarely go to concerts anymore; I donĀ“t like standing for hours breathing cigarette smoke. My last concert was Morrissey in december, which was quite fun.

My happy for today:
I saw a man hosing down his lawn and his dog jumped around with much gusto, biting into the water stream again and again.
