:(

NFL

The 1975 - "Chocolate"
peri peri rice

Lie ins reading. After 6 fruitless months of getting up at 6.30 which included recently waking up at 4 or 5am and not wanting to go back to sleep the ability to do this is most refreshing.

The White Goddess which I just read a chunk of and will probably now finish if things stay as they are at the moment.

Neverwhere the 1996 tv show. THink I've seen/read all the way through each of the versions this appeared in unless it was also a stage show of some kind. But not atched this version in th elast couple of years. I'm wondering what the b&w/colour design looks like on a pristine copy since I think this was video based not dvd.
Funny how many Dr Who candidates this has in it. Think it had 3 in th efirst episode since I think that's DAvid Tennant as leader of the rat-speakers. Peter Capaldi is the Angel Islington and i think Paterson Joseph was the black actor that turned the role down if what I'm hearing elsewhere is true. On the strength of this performance he would have been good. Interesting to see Capaldi in a different role to Malcolm too, wondering if this is any better reflection of how he'll play the Dr?

Alan Moore's Promethea which i don't think I managed to get right through previously. Think something prevented me from finishing the series when I d/loaded it. Drive crash possibly but it's working ok now.

UFO the Gerry Anderson series.
I half like the sylvia Anderson fashions but think there are some major flaws. The submarine crew's string vest tops and Straker's one piece trouser/waistcoat catsuit to name 2.
Like quite a bit of the clothing from Blake's 7 too but that again has some serious flaws. Best stuf seems to have been that supposedly supplied by the Liberator.

thinking about it, i think the pink wigs in UFO are a step too far - hair cut and colour are pretty big clues used to identify people and getting rid of that would just make that stuff harder.

Weird thing about one of the continually featured roles in UFO being played by the sister of Nick Drake so presumably a much better centered individual. But surprising that they both got recognition as much as they did even if Nick only got it after death possibly plus a few years.
Or is taht over reading the popularity of UFO. It did only really get one season with major discrepancies over running order.

ms drake was in Crossroads (big UK soap set in a motel) for a couple of years iirc, she's probably more famous for that.

Point I was making was about them both getting fame. I think. Hope Gabrielle was better prepared for it than Nick was.
Maybe it was something to do with the creative urge too. Though Nick seemed to find it hard to broadcast his creations. Maybe it was nurtured by their mother who sang and whose cd was released a couple of years back. But maybe all that's been said before.

also after recent hanging out in several Castro bars in SF I would like to hear about 4 and 5 and discusssss.

Using pumpkin pie spice mix in stuff that doesn't have pumpkin because fuck that orange garbage.

I presume you mean cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. These are just three complementary 'warm' spices that go well in a moderately sweet setting and with earthy flavors. They're ace. Try them in oatmeal cookies.

The "pumpkin pie spice mix" label is just marketing for people who need a lot of hand-holding in the kitchen.

aimless he's talking about how pumpkins are a pain in the ass

Thread topic = what you are into. Thread topic =/= what you are revolted by. Ergo, he was talking about into-worthiness of pumpkin pie spice mix. His revulsion for pumpkins only crept in accidentally.

haha you're right. thanks for the tip re: pumpkin pie spice.

hah quincie I have things to tell you abt certain bars in the Castro and things I have done in them and the apartments above them that someone had keys to

painting my nails. Like not just having nails that are painted but the actual act of applying nail polish is really fun for some reason. I bought some black OPI and some Essie matte topcoat. Rly into "rocking" matte black nails for fall (left the middle finger glossy for added sass). I want to also get a really dark steely grey and do that matte too and maybe do patterns btwn the two but I think I might stick w/ a monochromatic palette for a while; I am not ready for color

avoiding sexually-charged spaces

don't u work in a sex shop? or do u mean like a dance club

na I stopped doing that like 3 months ago, and yeah I mean like gay bars or parties where everyone is on a mission and rly into objectifying everyone else instead of approaching them as actual human beings

Dune (the novel, never read it before actually)
Electric Wizard
writing
imperial stouts
not getting stressed out about a terrible, terrible project that is going to be the focus of my work life for the next 3+ years

xp i'm kind of on the opposite tip where i feel like i suddenly became an ascetic peasant whose only interactions with people are either warm gatherings of friends or talkin to math people at school. wouldn't mind some objectification in my direction right now tbh. but i totally feel u

into:

kickin it w my mom
topology
disco + early electronic music
selling my records
poetry(?)
novels written by female authors

how early? Like Man Parrish early or like Pierre Schaffer early?
