Considering myself tagged

10 February 2009

Three TV shows/movies I watch regularly:

* Damages is coming back on Sunday, so I’ve programmed the PVR to record it – in case I either forget, or get lost and need to rewind and see just how many times someone has been betrayed and/or lied to.

* The West Wing is usually on an endless loop in my DVD player, but Lauren’s stolen all my box sets, so that rather put a stop to that. But if it were here, it would be accompanying my lunch every day.

* I’ve been watching a fair amount of Frasier on Youtube recently too. But don’t tell anyone, obviously.

Three things that happened yesterday:

1. I spent a few hours working on making The Ultimate Address Book for John’s company. It’s amazing how long I’ve been surviving on an ad hoc basis, just getting people’s details from their email signatures and never putting them somewhere more permanent. But don’t tell anyone, obviously.

2. I checked on my Ebay auctions. It was time to accept that the pasta machine and attachments that have been in storage who knows how long were never going to get used. Currently the ravioli maker and angel hair attachment will sell and the machine has 7 watchers. The pieces are each as heavy as a big truck with two elephants inside, so postage is about the same price as the items.

3. I discovered that the world is entirely too small. A number of you know Guy from 7 Days. He’s worked with and for John and I’ve met him, paid him and harangued him a fair amount on the telephone.

Then there’s Jonas. He was tour manager for Hubert’s 2007 tour down to the Black Sea and back. I met him in Vienna and Bratislava. We’re friends on Facebook.

Jonas is working in Abu Dhabi. He takes photos and posts them on Facebook. He took a cool self-portrait of an eternal reflection in a mirror and I commented that it was indeed cool.

Guy left me a comment: how do you know Jonas?

Huh?

It turns out that Guy and Jonas have been working together in Abu Dhabi.

Can I get an OMG WTF???

Three favorite places to eat:

1. Wagamama: Yes, I always have yasai yaki soba, but I’m very much ok with that. It’s yummy and made of noodles. What more could I want?

2. Our Christmas dinner table.

3. Wherever my friends and I are having one of our traditional picnics.

Three things on my wish list:

1. Better luck in the vegetable patch this year.
2. A nicer computer chair.
3. I don’t seem to wish for much.

Three things I’m looking forward to:

1. Just like the lovely Full Instrumental, who tagged me for this without knowing she did, number one on the list is concerts. First trip in April to Saarbrücken and we’ll be staying in a fancy hotel too. Now that we’re staying two nights instead of one, I want to see if that means we get two free bottles of water, or still just the one.

2. Girls’ trip to Jersey next year for Helen’s wedding.

3. The magical day when a purge of a drawer or cupboard actually involves me discarding more than three small items that make no difference to the space.

You’re it.

saw something at John Lewis and it made me think of you! It was an egg that you crack open water and tadaaaaaaa something grows. I didn’t have too close a look because I had grabby mcgrabsalot (aka squidge) with me.
