Can’t sleep

Another sleepless night — that makes four this week that I’ve seen 5am. Came downstairs for a hot milky drink (plenty of milk since both of us bought four pints yesterday) and might as well boot up whilst I’m here.

Saw Mambo Italiano earlier (official site | IMDB). Laughed lots, great film. Lots of interesting stuff to say about gay identity politics, non-scene guys, and helplines. Good totty (Peter Miller, Tim Post) .

Can’t park — well, I knew that.

Still haven’t found out when www.dilbert.com changes cartoon. It’s some time between 5.30am and 9am.

Pavarotti Loves Elephants

Pavarotti Loves Elephants. By Joel Veitch, rathergood.comTee hee.

Interesting panel meeting this afternoon, looking at problems of student domination of housing in Nottingham suburbs and at the ‘evening economy’ of the city.

Got home, cooked bangers and mash, and showed Paul how to make bread. Chopped some chives and parsley into the flour and made herb bread this time. Hopefully that will lead to eating less jam…

Popped around the corner to print members’ newsletter, popped around another corner to pick up an insert for it, and now just need to stuff the buggers.

Legally Blonde

Just watched Legally Blonde for the first time. Had already seen LB-II, so it was nice to see a bit of Ursprung.

Afterwards, I cleaned out the fishtank, a job I’ve been putting off for, erm, months. Haven’t done it since we moved, which is four months. Took a surprisingly small amount of time. Maybe there’s a lesson here? “Prevaricating makes dull jobs easier”?

Was watching TV because there’s nothing to read in the house. I lost the most recent Private Eye tidying up for the landlord. There’s a Computer Shopper but I don’t want to open that right now. I finished Stupid White Men earlier (OK, but I preferred Al Franken’s Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them: a fair and balanced look at the right.)

I’ve read all the detective fiction I own. Maybe I should get back on with reading E. David’s French Provincial Cooking: I’m not sure why I stopped reading that.

I’ve got plenty of Council reports to be getting on with, but somehow they don’t appeal.

I’ve got really bored with the internet recently: I’ve caught up with all my newsgroup and cix messages, read all the boards on outintheuk.com, checked today’s Dilbert, looked at the witty people’s pictures on B3ta, and then I feel I ought still to be able to waste more hours out there. I really miss the days before IRC died.

Phoned the bank earlier to set up instalments to pay for this year’s choir tour: 25th Anniversary. We’re singing in St Paul’s Cathedral for a week. Can’t wait.

Bed, I spose. Will dig out E. David first.
