Again, I start off this entry with an apology for the lack of updates. Which is kind of silly because many things have been happening, not the least of which was my birthday which was celebrated by a cross-city three day binge which then extended across national borders when we went on a celebratory holiday to Marrakesh, where we existed in a semi- ( Read more... ) -

Just in case any of you on the flist-- like myself-- missed the glorious sight of Boris Johnson being owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger a week or two ago. And no, not for being a weedy toff, but rather for his enunciation and speech delivery. Wikipedia tells me his middle name is De Pfeffel. I really want this to be true ( Read more... ) -

In grown-uppery news, I had my first driving lesson yesterday, which was surprisingly fun. My dad is all teary and proud-like, it's very sweet. I'm really going to regret my license photo ( Read more... )
