Happy Pancake Day!!!

Positively feeling like such a PIG. Delectable bites for all who deserved and worked hard for it! We had a major Pancake Day celebration in my house this year, which was, of course, my brainchild. This is to make up for all the Pancake Days people have forgotten to tell me about, but this year, I decided to outdo them ALL. On the menu was: Hiroshima Okonomiyaki (the Japanese pancake with the noodles), Crepes (French pancakes, served with all kinds of fresh berries, fruits, nutella...take your pick) and American Pancakes with maple syrup, butter or ice-cream!

Yup. It went down with a bang- we literally almost burst from all the pancakes!!! We should definitely do this again! I must admit, I was pretty impressed with my first attempt at Okonomiyaki and so were the others! Hah...already had a request for a repeat performance...*grin*

AND...when I thought I was losing hope of ever seeing the recently-married (shame!) Brandon Flowers sing, Sam says that we've got tickets to Wembley to see The Killers this Saturday evening!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!! (:

The Tragedy Of The Blue-Eyed Boy...

Just when I thought things were just going to get normal and I will learn to know what it's like not being with someone again...
the beautiful blue-eyed boy popped back into view. And once again, I feel like he shouldn't be there...but...-

'I wasn't shopping for a doll
To say the least, I thought I've seen them all
But then you took me by surprise
I'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
So take your suitcase, cause I don't mind
And baby doll, I meant it every time
You don't need to compromise
I'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
But it's alright...

Everything will be alright...'

- Everything Will Be Alright by The Killers

Delay

I waited for the 12 bus on Regent Street today for about half an hour, dying for a bite at dinner and out of the corner of my eye I spotted this guy who looked like Mr P. A thousand 'accidental' glances later (well, it *was* a long wait!) I confirmed that it couldn't have been him, though the similarities are uncanny. We ended up taking the same detour bus and I was sure he knew I was looking at him. Strange. I wasn't sure what I was feeling, surprise, anger, happiness, sadness? By the time the journey ended, I knew. I've been thinking about him a lot lately and it has been almost a year since our break-up. Shame. Some part of me apparantly stubbornly refuses to let go. A very small part, but substantial, nonetheless. Like an annoying voice that wouldn't go away. Doesn't help that he has been in touch after months of silence.

I managed to wedge in an explaination for the time being...mostly inspired by listening to The Killers (and momentarily infatuated with frontman Brandon Flowers). Tonight, while I waited for the bus that never came, I really felt like this song:

The Killers- For Reasons Unknown

I pack my case
I check my face
I look a little bit older
I look a little bit colder

With one deep breath
And one big step
I move a little bit closer
I move a little bit closer

For reasons unknown...

I caught my stride
I flew and flied
I know if destiny's kind
I’ve got the rest on my mind

But my heart
It don't beat
It don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes, they don't see you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss
They don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more...

For reasons unknown ...

Money On The Side...

I've been busy making lots of stuff lately, out of my favourite medium, Fimo, but I must say that it pays off when you get a small commission. I've been requested to reproduce some of my "mend-me voodoo dolls" from my Minus Magazine project for a gift.
So here's how it's turned out!

Here's To All Those Guilty

I *HATE* people peeing against walls, especially when I see it!
So here's a little 'tribute' to them. And I sure hope someone who agrees with me promotes it!!!

The Secret of Those Innocent Bottles...

I can barely believe my ears when my housemate told me that I might be the only one who knows the secret of the Innocent Smoothie bottles: they have little messages under the bottles and on the ingredients list- so it's a great perk-up to my day, like finding hidden treasure. I shared this with my housemate, to her surprise. Goes to show, people don't pay attention to the little details anymore! So she asked around, and NOBODY, to my dismay, knew about those little messages under the bottles! I'm sure I do know people who know about this- when it's not a big secret...

Anyway, I would like to meet the person or people in charge of all this magic of Innocent, so I've been looking at their website: www.innocentdrinks.co.uk and try to look for a suitable job with them...it would be so great to work in Fruit Towers!

It is a nice website, clean and amusing, true to the nature of the brand. So go on, have a look, you might fall in love with the same thing I did!

Crazy Crosswords

I love the daily London Lite crossword puzzles. They're so addictive!
Hopefully, someday I get so good that I don't have to refer to dictionary or friends!
