a note for first-timers

If it's your first time here and you're new to blogs, the first post you'll see is the most recent so that's where you should be ending, rather than starting. Otherwise, carry on...

Please, feel free to comment - you know you want to.

a glittering movie career ahead?

Well, I lived up to my own hype at the quiz last week. I do hope the rest of my team appreciated my valiant efforts, though. I mean, I even got up to sing for extra points in the attempt to win... even if they gave me no points for a performance that seemingly bore no resemblance to what I was supposed to be singing. I think it was probably just jealousy - I do look like a rock star after all, even if I don't sound like one. *ahem*

This week I shall mostly be working. However, I'm hoping to squeeze in a bit of script writing, directing, and possibly acting. And, if I'm lucky, I'll get to play with felt tip pens to create "scenery" and props. Alternatively, I could do that graphical stuff on the computer and print it out... but where's the fun in that, eh?

Incidentally, the name given to our quiz team - not by me, I hasten to add - was "Universally Challenged". And - with the notable exception of a 9 out of 10 on the subject of alcohol - the name was perhaps more appropriate than any of us would have liked. Oh, and we lost our Star Trek expert two rounds from the end... and what came up in the final, Television & Film, round? Arse!

still obsessed

Bugger. I thought I'd overcome the obsession with that song... until I read my previous post and felt compelled to play it again.

Anyway, I thought you'd all be extremely interested to know that I'm still a herbivore and have had no overwhelming desire to run across the plains of Africa and tear apart a gazelle with my bare teeth.

I have, however, discovered that vegetarians are even less well regarded than I'd realised. I was never anti-vegetarianism but it seems an awful lot of people are. To be fair, I suppose it's a bit like my fondness for asking religious folk awkward questions about their particular belief system. Still... effers! There's no hypocrisy here; no, siree!

It's playing for the second time in succession, incidentally. Just so you know.

Now, what other news do I have? Oh yes... I'm off to a pub quiz tomorrow evening. I'm sure whichever team I'm on will be cursing their luck when they find I know nothing about anything yet have an answer for everything. And I can sound highly convincing as I declare Stumpy and Sleazy as two of the Seven Dwarfs too.

I shall let you all know what the prize we don't win is.
