Episode 2!

PJ Harvey special!

Speaking of podcasts! I had 23 seconds of fame on The Planet podcast! I didn't realise it'd be put on the chart. I should've talked about something other that lemons...

----------------------

I can't believe it's nearly May already! Time is going by so fast I would have thought my fingernails would be slightly grown by now...

So in the last few weeks I have successfully started learning French! I'm know the alphabet. In French and everything! Pronouns are very tricky. I remember learning French 4 years ago and it seemed a doddle then. But now it's crazy! I'm only on present tenses and I feel like it's too much! But persistence eh.

I've also learnt basic phrases such as; Allons-y, miam miam, je vais garber etc, etc. My favourite being ZUT! Which means BLAST! Because swearing is not the way! I've had to contain myself from swearing like a monster this week. Lots of friendly arguments that weren't so friendly. Let's just say I am the most patient, calm person in the world and I was shaking with frustration and very casually left the scene with a wave of my hand!

In other news: I finally watched Desert Hearts. It was cute and all. I can see myself with an older woman. Definitely not younger. I recently got set up with someone only a year younger than me and once she suggested spin the bottle with three people in the room I was out of there. I haven't played that since I was 13!

----------

I saw Bjork! No pictures though. She's strictly against that. She was eating spoonfuls of honey on stage. And she's so very tiny! I was front and centre! No exaggeration! I was exactly front and centre. Which I won't be doing again... I felt like dancing and being crazy, but the bouncer sat inches from you is a little intimidating...

i think the next podcast might be a Bjork special., but we'll see. Amelia is supposedly thinking of a male to cover, but she's not very good at this computer, podcasting, organisation stuff!

------------------

Final thing. I've applied to this website, job searching webby type thing and this time next year I could be a farmer in Iceland! How exciting! I hear they don't have much daylight and/or sun. I need to research. But it sounds very promising and just the place for me! I could start drafting my first novel!

Until next time.

Au revoir!

SO. Things are great!

My friend Amelia and I have started a new podcast. Supposedly about music, but the introduction show wasn't so much about that. Ramblings, stories, digressions etc etc.

So here it is! Episode 1!

God bless useless Christian holidays! Tomorrow is the beginning of around 18 days of naaafin.

Though I am getting particularly stressed out with the jigsaw puzzle I'm doing. It's been 5 weeks and I've gotten nowhere! I should have gone with my gut instinct. Never the train station! NEVER!

******************

Alas, The L Word is over. What a disappointing finale. There should have been a huuuuge cliff hanger. But it was nice that there were lots of little ones with each character.

I've been re-watching season 2 and everyone really has changed a lot. I'm not sure whether that's a fault of the writers or the reality that some people change drastically in short periods of time sometimes! The real question being: Do they get credit or not? We are still entertained. I think going from experience I might have to go with people changing! Though Helena going from a snobby, British, rich chick too a Alice loving, British, rich chick to a cool, poor, British chick is all a bit complex!

Though I somehow went from a sarcastically violent, conforming funny person too a charming, witty human being. It does happen! How I wish I was deliriously witty.. I think I have some charm, maybe. "The geek charm" they call it. Turns out more and more people enjoy the stammering nerd than the cocky playa. Fantastic for me! Holla!

Since last blog I have successfully had a couple of weeks of dating for the first time in my existence and successfully realised that she isn't my type. How unfortunate! My mother says "Its the chase, isn't it! Oh, yes, I know it is!" With all things we learn lessons. And the lessons I have learned are:

1. Though they say "opposites attract", someone who doesn't read, listen to music or watch movies when that is all I ever do all day everyday, might not necessarily have the same things in common.

2. The aquarium for a first date is excellent. If they're not interested, then run for the hills! Or alternately, go for ice cream instead.

3. Vegans are no fun. Though my diet changed drastically and I lost about a zillion pounds. All I want to eat was 4 pounds of cheese. I like to eat out and I will not sit across from someone who eats only salad and nibbles on cashews. A real woman can eat like a man!

4. If you're lonely and go for the first lesbian you see, it's not a good thing. You have no gaydar. You don't like broadcasting your sexuality! Walking down the street was a whole new experience. Plus you lean towards more girly girls. Dear mum says "Oh, no. Does this mean you're the "butch"...?" I'll have you know that I bought a frilly shirt last week! AND I'm reading The Times Travellers Wife. If that aint girly I don't know what is.

Those are the key things. We're now friends and it's going terrible! I told her My like for her fizzled and it was all fine. but now I'm always such a grumpy cow whenever I see her! We still have no common interests, she still eats silly things. I feel very mean for always frowning! Oh dear, oh dear. I think she's setting me up with her friend though who plays the piano and banjo and reads poetry for pleasure. Swoooon.

In other news, in short: I have a very healthy obsession with Joan of Arc. My love for science is evermore increasing. I've had about 15 ______ in about 4 days. And there's a Grindhouse marathon at the movies! Planet Terror and Death proof back-to-back! Deliciouuuus!

Bjork in 19 days! Cambridge Folk tickets come out next month: Martha Wainwright! Fantastic! And KD Lang... S'all gay!

Be gay!
