We were supposed to be in Ireland this weekend, but grounded by volcanic ash of all things...

We were originally booked to fly on Thursday, rebooked for very early today but that flight got cancelled too:(

So we decided to make the best of today (yesterday was a bit of a write off...) and got all dressed up to go out and spend our erstwhile holiday ( Read more... )

Brideshead Revisited is showing on ITV 3 at 6 in the morning and I was watching it whilst drying my hair. I leave it on while I was brushing my toofs ( Read more... )

Oh precious Goth dress
Marcouscous snore on floor now
You sleep in my arms
It's a bit like MY BOYFRIEND but it's much easier to work into conversations on EGL

I am a little worried that I will be able to a)ram myself into it and b)be able to due it Gothic Justice.

So Iceland has banned lapdancing clubs http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/mar/25/iceland-most-feminist-country

The sand of the desert is sodden red-

Red with the wreck of the square that broke

The gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,

And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.

There sat the Shadow fear'd of man;
Who broke our fair companionship,
      And spread his mantle dark and cold,
      And wrapt thee formless in the fold,
