"Chicken tikka, tell me what's wroooong!"

Today was a very good day. Went into town in the morning, made red velvet cupcakes for the first time ever in the afternoon, with amazingly delicious results, watched Britain's Got Talent in the evening, and rounded off the night with some amazing French and Saunders.

You're probably familiar with Britain's Got Talent– or at least with Susan Boyle (overrated)– but if not, here is one of my favourite semi-finalists, who unfortunately didn't make it through to the final. SAD FACE!!

So, the French & Saunders sketch I watched might be one of the best ones they've done in ages. And I'm really embarrassed I didn't discover it earlier. It's a pisstake of Mamma Mia! with Sienna Miller and Joanna Lumley, doing a Patsy of Ab Fab sort of role. Sienna Miller is, meh, ok, but the rest of them are amazing, with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley especially picking up some of the funniest parts of the movie. It's soooo well worth a watch.

Part 1

Part 2

Until next time. Much love. x

SYD ROO WINSSSS!!

Sydney won the first quote-off! Congrats m'lady.

You both did very well. Here's a few you missed (and ones that I would have LOVED to see):

Bingley: (about Netherfield) It's nothing to Pemberley I grant you.

Darcy: You'll find the society something savage.

Bingley: Country manners? I think they're charming!

Darcy: Well you'd better take it then

Bingley: Thank you! I shall! I shall close with the attorney directly!

Mrs Bennett: You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves!

Mr. Bennett: You mistake me, Madam, I have great compassion for your nerves, they have been my good friends these twenty years at least!

Bingley: Honestly, Darcy. I wouldn't be as fastidious and you are for a kingdom!

Darcy: I am in no humour to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. Go back to your partner, enjoy her smiles. You are wasting your time with me.

Darcy: She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me.

Darcy: I shall conquer this. I shall!

William Lucas: Capital! Capital!

Darcy: You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

Mr. Bennett: (to Mary): That will do extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough.

Mr. Bennett: For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?

Much love. x

Jet lag bites many, many monkeys

So, first things first. Sorry I've not updated in like, you know, forever. I've been running out of stuff to talk about these days. Plus, I've been busy, doing.... stuff.

also, I have a follower! How exciting is that?!?! thanks gemma!!

Now, this is what I really wanted to talk about:

Firstly, in my time of jet lag I was facebook stalking myself (have you ever done that? it's fun) and I looked through my old profile pics and I found this picture. I was in my 'I love photobooth and every ridiculous narcissistic thing it brings out in me' phase when I took it. I am without photobooth now, it died with Vera, the old laptop. I have to say I kind of miss it. But, the question is, is this picture totally lame or kind of awesome? I really can't decide. I think it's going as my profile pic again anyway. If you think its ridiculous for god's sake tell me and I'll change it again.

Secondly, and more importantly, I want to give you all a bit of a challenge. I want you to have a quote-off. Mainly just as an experiment to see who reads this damn thing. I am going to name a movie/book and you are going to leave comments with as many quotes as you can think of on there. Whoever puts down the most quotes after, let's say.... four days will win something. It might be my undying love, or it may be a car. who knows.

RULES:

1) PLEASE don't cheat and look up the quotes, these have to come of the top of your head. I know the subject matter pretty well and I suspect I shall be able to tell if your quotes are too perfectly worded and that you have cheated. You dirty cheater.

2) If you write a quote that someone has already written before you, it'll not be counted.

3) You should be able to identify who said the quote. It need not be the character's name, the actor will do as well.

4) You MAY earn bonus points for quoting whole dialog (i.e. conversations between two or more people), but only if I think you worthy.

Oh, this is going to be exciting! Now, I am going to name the title of the piece. Ready?......... Here goes.................

Pride and Prejudice (1995!!)

Just a warning: IF I SEE ANY QUOTES THAT WERE CLEARLY NOT USED IN THIS VERSION AND ARE NOT JANE AUSTEN'S WORDS BUT WERE IN FACT MANGLED AND SPAT OUT BY KEIRA KNIGHTLEY THEN SO HELP ME GOD I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS!

Disclaimer: I'm sure that Keira Knightley is in fact a lovely girl and a wonderful human being but you could not have gotten a worse person to play the part even if you'd dressed Boris Johnson in drag and gotten him to speak in a high-pitched lady man voice.

Anyway, have fun with this guys! and if it goes ok this time we can do more in the future.

Much love. x
