White, no sugar.
It’s a stereotypical masculine thing, sitting in front of the TV getting worked up over sports. Footy, soccer, cricket and so on, preferably with beer. But I never liked any of those sports, so I could nver participate in the ritual. But now I’m proud to finally annouce that I’m a real man because I’ve found a sport that I can go mad about. Dancing. In particular, that show with Paul McDermott - you know, the one where they have the dance competition? It’s the greatest. You should have seen the jive routine they did in the last one - I was all like ‘yessss!!’ because they did the most amazing moves and the costumes were like, so fabulous. Wow.
So there you go. My masculinity is no longer an issue. Anyone for tea?
UPDATE. Yeah, that’s a pretty crap post. Here’s what I have actually been doing since we last spoke:
On Thursday night I made some of 8zero8’s patented ‘greasadillas‘, which were about the most satisfying thing I’ve eaten for weeks (tonnes of cheese, mmm) and then loafed around watching telelvision. On Friday I skipped work and stayed in bed reading ‘On Seduction’ and ‘Simulacra and Simulation’ exerpts from the selected writings of Jean Baudrillard, then phoned up to look at some share houses. Then, early this morning, I wrote a song about how great my doona is. Now, having hauled my butt out of bed at a leisurely midday, feeling pretty darned good about nearly everything especially featherdown doonas, I’m off to look at some houses. I’ll post later and bitch about the ones I didn’t like.

Indeed.

I am very impressed that you ate a greasadilla. That makes up for the dancing.

See, I thought so. And the lack of exercise must also make a difference.

on a related note, i had my dance exam last night. I was highly commended, which is pretty decent for a girl who has the grace of an elephant.
How is that relevant, you ask? Well… my partner was a grand finalist in strictly dancing… and strictly speaking, though we’re not supposed to know… well, let’s just say the finals have been filmed and he was pretty happy with the outcome!

Oooooo, inside info from mc! You should turn your site into one of those UK ones where everything is about stars, predominately who’s sleeping with who.
Strictly dancing is great. I like how pretty much every episode there is the ’shit couple’, the couple who’s never going to win and are just there as filler. They’re always my favourite.

Sorry Le Driver, I can’t make the list too long, so it’s a kinda rotating thing of whoever I’m stalking at the time. *pat on the back*
I’m going to be watching the finals of SD now though… who are we meant to be looking for?!

I’m overjoyed that you consumed some homemade Greasadillas.
Cheers!
