My two weeks in Mexico felt like I was away for a month. Aaaahhhhh.... And even though it's already starting to feel like I never left, I'm happy to know that with luck I'll be gone for good by January.... Double Aaaahhhhh....

We had ducks at my college - two boys and a girl.

I remember those ducks. There were lovely. Not like these ducks.

Reading this has just made me very happy....so thank you all....this thread had some sort of osmotic potential to transfer all the good will into places where it's absent I'm sure.

It's a many-splendoured thing, for sure.

J and Quantum, chickpea curry and heavenly aloo sag(the aloo sag will appear on the Gastro thread.)

The sky over the sea. Moonlight shining through the clouds.

and finally, mostly importantly Highlander: Endgame Made, apparently in 2000, looks like prime 1985. Featuring Damon Dash.

Oh Yes.

Ah, Highlander: Endgame. Marked out as a flm of qualioty by the colon (quite possibly Ronald Reagan's colon - that may have started his downward spiral) in the title. Finally providing a resolution both to Duncan McLeod's story and that of the Highlander TV Series that was, contrary to your memories, the most important and popular television series of the 90s. Oh yeah.

Meanwhile, otters!



Otters!

BiP, where's this aloo sag recipe then?

Happy = going into Indian sweet shop on Brick Lane (after initiation kindly provided by BiP) and pointing at things and ending up with astonishingly sweety things (and tooth rot.)

It was amazing. It was like all the best bits of rice pudding without the rice or the burnt bits. Huuuuge sugar rush. How do they make it? (I know you told me, but all I can remember is 'boil milk and then add more milk and boil it'...)

Two person hammocks make me exceedingly happy indeed. Positively jumping for the joyousness of them.

That and the fact I finished my sister's wedding cake and everybody thought it was beautiful and heaps of people said, "Did you really make all those lovely cakes?" quite a lot, which more than made up for the weeks of stress and worry that went into them.

And my hair is pink again.

Oh those things, and the sunshine and lovely company and just all round feelings of 'finally having a nice time in my life for once'-ness!

That's certainly some cake.

Had a bad cake experience myself this week, though. Little Zoot is one year old today (yay) and we had a bit of a gathering on Sunday. My job last week was to organise the cake, and after sulking because I couldn't find one in the shape of a dinosaur I had to go into a shop and order a fairly bog-standard train-shaped one (for which they still wanted twenty quid).

Woman said they really needed four working days' notice to turn the cake around, and I was a silly boy for leaving it so close to the day. But because she liked my smile she promised to sort it, and I was to call in the next morning to pay.

Next morning came and there was a different woman in the shop, who said that the order hadn't been placed and it was now completely, utterly, without-a-doubt too late so I should sod off.

Had to make do with a Marks and Sparks ready made one, which was quite nice I suppose, and Zoot only being one he didn't really give a toss.

But I would rather have had a train cake. Or a dinosaur cake, really. Or, actually, an Olulabelle special. Can I book you for June 9 2005?

Bless. Cake shop people are really snooty I think.

Sax, you definitely can as long as it doesn't involve making 165 little cakes. Train cakes, Dinosaur cakes, Power Rangers cakes - I can do. They're fun!

Just no-one ever ask me to do the individual cake thing ever again. Unless it's for Little Zoot under 10 years of age when there's only a few needed.

Or you want to pay me £4.50 per little cake which is what the posh London shops charge.

Today I went into a used bookstore on a whim and found a book that I used to own as a kid. It is "Kipling: A Selection of his Stories and Poems" Its got the Unabridged Jungle Book and Just So Stories and Everything! And a really ugly dust jacket.

But it is beautiful , really beautiful. You just need to squint like a twelver year old book worm to see it.

Man I loved that book. I mean this book.

Yes!

I wonder if it still as good in the cold clear light of day.

I just won two free tickets to a double bill of 'Drugstore Cowboy' and 'Sex, Lies and Videotape' at my favourite cinema on Sunday afternoon!

I never win anything. Made me feel special for a moment.

Gives me immense happys, of the type that can only be equaled by lopping the head off another immortal with a John Denver record in a house full of cats.
Or slowly sinking into a hottub full of melted mint Aero Bars.
O.K., the fights get a little weird sometimes.

I just watched the New Zealand All Blacks absolute thrash the English in the first rugby test for this year at Carisbrook stadium NZ. Final score : 33 - 3 (to the All Blacks of course). So much for the Rugby World Cup huh?

Yes, spake!!!

Wasn't that fucking WONDERFUL!!! 30 points in the FIRST HALF!!! In my HOMETOWN!!!!!!!

And didn't Carlos play a great game? Good to see him back on form. I dunno, it all means a lot more to me when I'm in another country. And it meant a lot when I was back in NZ. So it means TONS!!!!!!!!


In other news, me and this lovely girl.

Yup.

Looking pretty good.

But Dan Carter's kicking was amazing. That kid was determined to kick between those posts like no other!!

All in all, this will make me happy for weeks. Unless of course the All Blacks fuck the rest of the test games. Brrrrrrr. (it wont happen!!)

what a buzz.

This afternoon's Barbe-meet in Brockwell Park gave me an enormously turgid happy. Oak-filtered sunlight dappling an array of gorgeous Barbeloids, old and new, supping and picking at chilled champagne, strawberries with cream, cold chicken, smoked salmon, delicately-flavoured humous, apples and other assorted lovelinesses. Particularly high on my Happidar was the wonderful Olulabelle, who I met for the very first time, and whom exceeded my every expectation. And, for sheer joycore splendiferousness, the Seldom Killer's 'Say Bollocks To Flamingos' t-shirts tickled (almost) all my pleasure receptors.

I have a major happy. A happy that's still tenting my shorts, and causing me to course with waves of happy reminiscence. Thankyou all concerned.

Was going to put this in a football thread but decided that would be too much like trolling.

I would just like to say how pleased I am that England lost. I'm now able to get on with my work with the minimum of interruptions which are now in the form of a few subdued mentions of "we were shit" and "we're done for". There have been a few exclamations of "You didn't watch the game" but these are pursued no further when I reply with "No, I watched Ong Bak, a Thai Kick-boxing movie where people are repeatedly beaten about the head with elbows in a devestating manner". Although humourously someone did say that someone should do that to Beckham.

I'm guessing he screwed up so if anyone sees him, please shake his hand for me.

Spent most of Saturday sorting through a ton of books that got carted into my friend's bookstore that morning. Ended up volunteering to sort and price most of the old (pre 1960's) volumes, and so got to spend a wonderful day surrounded by lovely old book smells. Got a 1941 copy The Seven Pillars of Wisdom for doing it too...as well as a massive discount on the rest of the books I 'sorted' for myself. Coming home with three bags full of old books is very nice. Especially when you then spend most of the next day lying in the sun reading them, with Radio 4 muttering away in the background and a mug of tea in arm's reach. Bliss.

I got my exam results, so I now know that I get to do the MSc and my fun project this summer. And I did a lot better than I thought I would in a lot of my subjects, and so far everyone I know has passed as well... so I'm happy!

Warning- SAD alert.
While I was looking through my Library on RealPlayer, I discovered I must have at some point downloaded "The Burning World" by Swans (one of my favourite records EVER, and one I can't fucking find anywhere) while drunk and forgotten about it... listening to it now, it's every bit as majestic as I remember.
