Ya gotta love him
Ya gotta love him really. He’s on stage again, this time in a much longer season of ‘The Country Wife’, the play that has the prestigious honour of being perhaps the only play that is entirely about sex!
Something good
In an attempt to make myself feel better, two lovely JE fanvids from Vali, a vidmaker from Italy.
Frickin’ Annoyed
That’s it. I’ve had it. What the f**k is happening to our football teams this year? First the Socceroos crashed out spectacularly in the Asian Cup, now the Wallabies lost to England – ENG-GER-LAND of all teams – and not only that, the bloody All Blacks even more spectacularly crashed out in the quarter-finals!!! Argh!!!
Are they losing their marbles? Are they so arrogant that they’ve lost their hunger to win? Perhaps I shouldn’t really watch sport anymore. It just makes me lose my temper. Grrrr….
Is it possible…
To sing opera while doing push ups?
After seeing this last Wednesday, I found out that it is! You just have to be extremely… um, fit. Though fit was a bit of an understatement when it came to Teddy Tahu Rhodes.

The Return
I’ve written another song, again playing on a JE poem I wrote. You can download it here.
What tears, what smiles I shed
To see you sitting there
Broken, blinded and beaten
At the sound of my voice
You enliven
At first disbelieving
And then hoping my touch
Affirms my return
My kiss reignites
Life thought extinguished
Hopes thought dashed
Through our embrace
Our lifeblood flows
Swiftly filling up our souls
With urgent love
You clutch me
As though I
May suddenly vanish
Vanquish your troubles
Feel my arms around you
Know that I shall be with you
A little Frenchness
Madeleines are little pillows of gold and very yummy. I made madeleines on the weekend using this recipe. Well using the method in this recipe but the quantities of another cut out from some newspaper sometime in the last decade. Turned out well, I must say, though since it’s a tad bit dry I think I’ll be trying out this recipe next time and baking it for a shorter period of time.
Insecurity
I have to post this here, although I’m sure a million people will post it too.
Truly the mother of all stunts.
Scrummy Cake
I’m in a cooking mood lately (and I haven’t been for a very long time) so I made this pineapple cardamom upside-down cake. Served it to my flatmate and my family and they all agree that it’s scrummy!
