In which I'm old

Another year, another birthday.


I mostly got cash, which is unusual because my family tend not to trust that I'll buy myself something useful. What I really wanted was this but alas. I'll just have to buy if for myself because it is the coolest thing ever and I possibly can't live without it.

The best part of yesterday was spending some birthday money because buying new things makes me unreasonably happy. I got myself some clothes, underwear, season 4 of The Office and season 1 of Pushing Daisies, which came with a bonus book of, I dunno, 7 pie recipes? That works out well because I got a tart tin from Mum. Can't wait to try the peach cobbler!

The other upside to my birthday was getting a new Merlin episode. Hip hip hooray for time differences! I've heard mixed reviews about this one, but I actually liked it. LOL ARTHUR'S FACE AS UTHER GUSHES PRAISE ONTO THE TROLL LADY! Well played Bradley James, well played.

Lolziest part

I would think it takes balls for a beautiful woman to deliberately make this face?

I love you Colin Morgan but OMGWTFMUMMYITSCARESME

Finally, songs I'm digging at the moment:

Entroubled - Roses Kings Castles

Pot Kettle Black - Tilly & the Wall (From the Whip It soundtrack which I thoroughly recommend. I wouldn't consider it my usual type of music [apart from Jens Lekman <3] but it's FUN and even if you're a music snob, I don't think you can deny the collection of songs achieve their purpose of getting you pumped up.)

Love During Wartime - the Main Drag

Slow Life - Grizzly Bear

Whole-season DVDs are quite expensive. Why would you want to spend your precious birthday money buying those when you can easily download rips off the internet? :P

Actually I know the answer the that. It's just difficult to put into words :P

How much would you rate yourself out of 10 as a cook?

I only buy dvds which I believe I don't want to live without. So, as you can imagine, I don't end up buying them very often. These two were Very Important though! Plus, it's comfier to sit out in the lounge chairs, watching the big screen, than stuffed in the study looking at the comp screen!

I dunno. I don't rate myself at all because I don't consider myself a 'cook'. I follow recipes and by that logic, any idiot can do it. Anything new I create comes from familiarity, not skill.
