kaberett- around these parts, the phrase "nobody LIKES ME everybody HATES ME going down the garden to SET UP AN OKCUPID ACCOUNT" has gained common currency. This morning I had cause to invoke it, and actually went to OKCupid. To my horror, from my point of view on sign-up forms, FetLife is actually less faily than OKCupid. Given that FetLife includes "Trans - Male-to-Female" etc as standalone gender categories... ye-ah.
- the surname "Adhemar" has just turned up as the legit honest-to-goodness name of an active researcher in approximately my field. Shit.
- fret fret fret
- burnt the tagine, and the horrible gooseberry crumble is so horrible I'm not sure I'm going to be able to convince anyone to eat it (made in a desperate attempt to use up both flapjack crumbs and five tins of gooseberries in syrup I inherited; please don't ask)
+ made enough food yesterday to last us for a while, including RED BEAN PASTE, which means I had RED BEAN PASTE AND CONDENSED MILK ON CRUMPETS for breakfast it was GRAND
+ Station Cycles got in the 24x1" inners I asked them for, sold them to me for £4.99 a pop, and were all round fantastic. i♥them
+ my dreaded brown envelope from the DWP arrived... telling me that I was entitled to DLA, it had been automatically renewed, etc. I do not even know what to do with this, other than flail squeakily a lot
+ all our shower gel now has "MANLY MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN" written on it in permanent marker

The Showa Era
Date: 2013-02-22 11:50 pm (UTC)Suffice to say that I emerge, singing manfully in an agreeable baritone, dry myself off vigorously with a rough cotton towel, comb the luxuriant hair on my buttocks into a neatly-matching pair of respectable and manly partings, and begin my day of manly labour invigorated, clean, and reaffirmed in my essential manliness.
In other news, and in an actual reply to something you referred to in your blog: I seem to be the only person I know who actually likes gooseberries. I am particularly fond of Demijohn's gooseberry liqueur, which has been described as the distilled epitomy of gooseberry 'hairiness'.
