And you are a better person for it. She was probably very glad to hear from you.
I'm totally giving you shit, but its motivated by some real life nonsense - like, 75% of our friends have totally disappeared and never call us anymore. Its fucking ridiculous. And on bad days, its pretty fucking depressing.
- Apparently, into getting depressed about the increasingly BAD global warming news we're seeing. Like, oh SHIT.

you can call those friends, really
they probably just think you're really busy with a kid and don't need bothering

We talk like twice a week and have been close friends continuously since 1990! I don't really need any training in the friend department, at least not with her. I'm not your friends. I'm good.

ok now I'm into watching all the British shows on Hulu. I highly recommend the latest season of The Thick of It.

It has. I'm a pretty toned-down fan at this point. We made the SB. I'm not a Niners hater. It should be a good game.

The History Channel - was an avid watcher of Pawn Stars all the way through uni, but have only recently picked up on American Restoration, American Pickers and Storage Wars. This stuff is just so easy to watch without really engaging whatsoever.
Rowntrees Fruit Gums - delicious, and the after-taste you get from drinking water after eating these things is an absolute delight. They also last for ages if you chew slowly so when I'm sneaking them into my mouth whilst sat in court I don't have to draw attention to myself by continually rustling about and grabbing more.
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susannah Clarke - a little bit twee and slow, kinda wish there was a little more jeopardy at times, but it's pretty charming and I'm really enjoying the portrayal of magic in this book as opposed to the magic in something like Harry Potter. It's pleasantly eerie and creepy and fairytale-ish - mysterious chiming bells and dancing music that always appear to be coming from the next room in the house, little glades of trees that lead to dark paths through forests that can't possibly be there in reality, rooms that suddenly appear at the end of a corridor in the house and lead to a different house entirely etc. It's much more fun than "Here's a wand, point it like a gun and here is the one word spell to make fire / water / kill people" and so on. Looooong book for what it is, though.
Tartan - a recent development, since I knocked up my own kilt for a party thrown in honour of Rabbie Burns the other night. Never really tried skirts before but I've worn it around the house for the last few days and I'm finding it peculiarly liberating. Perhaps this could be the first step in a wonderful voyage of self-discovery?
Veins of the Queen by Robyn Hitchcock.
Workaholics with Adam, Blake and 'Ders. Funniest new programme I've come across since I finally sat down with Arrested Development a couple of years ago.

"lots of holes in my musical appreciation, kinda feeling like I wanna go exploring again like the old days"
Feeling the lack of this in my own life at the moment. In the past 6 months I've gone from having more free time than I knew what to do with, enough to spend 2 or 3 hours most days just listening to new music and exploring old bits and bobs on Spotify, to suddenly having maybe 2 or 3 hours of free time a day full-stop. I really don't know where those extra hours I want for music appreciation are gonna come from.
