Stephen Fry on swearing. SPECIAL BONUS, Hugh Laurie in drag.
Attended a Jim Scott house concert at Tom and Peggy’s last night. I am going to be in a minority here, but I think it’s possible to write songs about peace love light cooperation and the rain forest and still keep some edge in the lyrics. Let me recast that. His choice of words irritated me a lot, also, too much repetition, please please please have more respect for the audience than that. Oh, really it was an indoctrination session? Why didn’t somebody tell me? He has a lovely voice and a lot of Brazilian nylon string guitar style but I enjoyed the a capella song about peace the most. There was lots of singing along and I couldn’t open my mouth or I just would have coughed through the entire concert. Also a church member and his squeeze talked ALL the way through, and when everybody else is quiet and you’re the one sitting next to the rude people it doesn’t add to the joy. Since this person behaved rudely at the last event we both attended, I’ll let him know when he’s had his third strike. It would be polite… no sense bottling it up and when I can firmly and respectfully tell him he’s rude.
However, Al Sather’s mini mousse tarts put some life back into me. MAN they were good.
Had a migraine by the time it ended, walked home in the rain and collapsed next to Keith on the downstairs sofa (I walked 6.4k last night, pouring rain both ways), while he groused his way through the new Assassin’s Creed II. Bastards dicked with the UI AND the game play, so you spend a lot of time falling off things you didn’t intend to. Also, Ezio walks as if he tucked a carrot into his ass crack and his jumps look… well I’ll let you see it, because I fell over the first time I saw it. Someone’s going to do a mashup of all his moves to techno, and it will be funny.
I am still feeling odd. Part of it is irritation with myself over something I can’t speak of in public, but I think I’m genuinely sick, too. I’ll see if church is still an option after I have my vitamins and some coffee. I kinda want to boycott church until they fix the sound system, but really that’s not a sufficient reason.
Tomorrow I interview Denis, and I am so looking forward to it.
Watched these two movies over the last couple of days. Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima. HIGHLY recommended.
How do YOU set boundaries with loved ones? Just asking.
