My hero…
*squee*
He had complimentary things to say about my extremely old and spotty copy of Cryptonomicon, although I suspect he really thought it was manky as hell.
Like I’m 12 again
Shauna’s timely shared item on Google Reader reminded me (although I tend to, sadly, remember every year) that today is the Goss twins’ birthday. Matt (yuck) and Luke (yum) are 40 today.
I bought Push back in 1988. On cassette. I used to think they were way older than me. It’s funny what a couple of decades will do. 12 and 20 is a huge age difference, 32 and 40… not so much.
Thankfully, Luke Damon Goss is not gay. That makes me feel better.
(Just to clarify again and again, I wasn’t crushing on falsetto-voiced Matt, I had a thing for manly masculine drummer Luke. Rawr.)
Shiiiiiinnnnneeeee… let it shine
I stayed up a few extra minutes last night and saw the new Take That video, Shine (I did NOT know it was on, we had Channel 4 on and were told to stay tuned for the video premiere, and I always do as I’m told if it’s got something to do with watching Take That). I reckon only Howard Donald suits that trendy androgynous messy haircut. Mark Owen and Jason Orange look a bit weird like that.
(BTW, is Jason Orange gay? He sure acts it.)
So cute you’ll want to spew and spew forever
A special ’squee’ reserved for cute animals. This is a different squee compared to the one I use on Gary Barlow. Gary Barlow’s squee has hormones in it. Just so you know.

A Million Love Songs… squeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Seeing Take That is a good enough reason for me to sit through the final episode of The X Factor.
This weekend I…
- had fajitas for dinner, and a yum yum (basically a fried croissant-like pastry with sugar) for dessert
- watched Take That - The Ultimate Tour on the teevee and discovered I’m still a teenager deep inside (ah, I remember the days when half my walls very covered in Take That posters)
- watched some Later with Jools Holland (Eric Bibb was amazing* and I’m still quite taken with Bellowhead, who were on last week)
- met up with the Pussycat for lunch (and she took me to do a tiny bit of sightseeing before the sun set)
- had a haggis supper (mmm, haggis)
- stayed up late drinking wine and having a D&M with Neil
- went into Livingston to get new bed sheets (as well as tights, socks, lightbulbs, and a full bag of junk food to sustain me through work)
- had a roast dinner
- watched Men in Black II
- watched Housewife, 49
* That led to my bringing up a movie that mentioned Robert Johnson (Crossroads),
