Mood:Amused
To Do: Educe
After a pretty exciting 4 days of touring, I decided today was going to be a day full of my favourite things:
1) Super noodles
2) The Apprentice
3) Googling pictures of beached whales and architeuthis (giant squid)
Last night I went to see Drag me to Hell. I was on the edge of hysteria throughout... Brilliantly fun yet frolicking with gore. THUMPS from devils hooves and crusty old ladies faces that appear from NOWHERE make one panic into delusion. The lead role, Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) reminded me somewhat of myself. We both used to have problems with our weight, we both like money and we've both lost buttons... Well. Mine wasn't taken by an old gypsy lady and cursed but you get the picture. I like her. Drag me to Hell: 8.5/10
Sleeping and living on a tour bus is a very special experience. I was a tour bus virgin until a mere week ago. The close quarters in which you and your 'bandies' (in my case: 'MACHINE') live in creates an automatic Brady Bunch feel. Snuggles whilst watching a night time film. Laughing and joking as you discuss your toilet habits and how terribly hard it is not being able to put anything solid down the toilet. Waking up in your coffin bunk which you gradually grow to love more than your standard 'regular bed'. It really is an adventure. My only complaint is that our tour bus didn't look like this:
Me and a couple of friends have decided to do a 'Come Dine with Me- Goth Special'.
Dinner number one has been and gone. The house of the contender had lights that turned on as you walked into the room. There was a small balcony for those that wanted to smoke. The gravy was NOT bisto but home made. There was even toilet paper in the toilet. I know now that I need to step up my game if I stand any chance of winning. One major let down was the choice of soundtrack to our evening.. Everything I suggested (from Yan Tiersen to The Golden Silvers) was brushed away and we ended up listening to The Greatest Power Ballads. You might think that Power Ballads at a dinner party could be quite romantic. I can assure you, when tucking into your juicy lamb shank and sipping on your goblet of wine, choking on Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding out for a Hero' is not how I imagine the winning Come Dine with Me to be.
Lets hope my choice will go down well. I'm thinking something along the lines of this:
I love setting the mood...
Anyway.. all this talk of lamb shank has made me hungry. Super noodles, here I come.
I'll leave you with a little reminder that the Apprentice final is skulking up on us. My money is on Kate.
