Brokeback Mountain

I know, I know, I am behind, but it's not totally my fault; "Brokeback Mountain" wasn't released here in the Third World until into January, so I couldn't see it when most of you did.  But I did finally see it last night and it was beautiful.  I fell asleep thinking about it and woke up thinking about it.  If, and this doesn't seem possible, you are even more of a pariah than I and haven't seen it yet, definitely make the effort to catch it in the cinema.  You don't want to miss out and Ang Lee needs the support. (Hey, I paid £11.50, $20.50, to see it, so no whining about $9!)

Cheers,
Shaun

A little bluegrass in London

Recently heard at Rosebery Court:

"My slappin' arm's on the mend so my wife's been acting up again."

Got my new tattoo today.  Love it.

Xo,
Shaun

Ouch

Todd's in town for the weekend, yay!

We had a good time out in Soho and at Fiction last night, but this morning OH MY GOD.  I had the absolute worst alcohol headache I've ever had.  It hurt so, so bad.  And I don't understand.  All I had from 6pm - 4am was wine then beer then vodka; it's not like I did something silly and mixed with water or anything.

I think I am just out of shape.  Five months away from my alcoholic friends and I'm a wreck.  Russ is coming to visit in April -- I gotta shape up!

Befuddled

This is something I never thought I would say, and I am not even sure what it might mean.

 

I have started to like Marmite.

 

As shocked as you are,

Shaun

Olde London Towne

Fell in love with London all over again tonight...

- a pub from 1546 (imagine, the people drinking there when it opened [during Elizabeth I's reign] could have been talking about this new, exciting continent discovered within their lifetimes called America)

- a church from the 1200s (with a private cocktail party in the basement and a vacant main chamber; we were the only people there to see it [also, it was the first catholic church in England])

- super cool, trendy, modern martini/hookah bar next to Smithfield Market

- (also passing Trade & DTPM, though obviously we didn't go in)

all within 10 minutes of my front door.

Love it.

All my US friends (Niels, Schnookums & McGirr, and Todd, see you in a week, you've all been, but this still applies), come visit soon.  Love it here, but I miss you to bits.

Happy 2006!

I was going to write something witty & clever and personally meaningful to say happy 2006, but I never got to it before the dinners and nights out hit.  So in its place, here are some cute, fluffy kitties.

Cheers,
Shaun
