I would have liked to sing opera, but I have the voice of a mango-seller*

Sickleday Cliffnotes:

- Had peanut butter on toast and experienced culinary heaven. Had chicken made of awesome (but bought fully-cooked from the store) and experienced satiation, which is bliss.

- Knit like a mofo but realized a) yarn is horrendously inappropriate b) pattern is hard c) I may, actually, suck at this and d) I am stuck. Again.



- Watched Lolita (1997) with Jeremy Irons. Liked. Still want to read the book like crazy. Also watched clips from The Catherine Tate Show and now miss Donna. And Ten. Is it Christmas yet?

- Went to a Salsa Solo Workshop at my dance school. Rocked it. Then stuck around for the party. Didn't rock it. Accepted a couple "Shall we dance" but, as cannot dance, failed as a dance partner. (One tried to teach me a few of the steps but too fast.) Talked in broken Dutch to middle-aged Turk which was nice but then he hit on me suggesting we go to disco's in Noordwijk or go dancing next week. Eeeeh...no. Spent quite some time staring at a couple dancing (girl in bellydancer outfit, no less, and guy in a wife-beater with a dragon tattoo) because hot damn they were good and practically liquid with the flow and it was sexy.

Quick Salsa Lesson and Subitled Music Video for La vida es un carnaval

- I am starting to listen to salsa and merengue and the likes. Have rediscovered Elvis Crespo (Tu Sonrisa and Suavemente - awesome songs, embarrasingly bad videos) and Celia Cruz (Rie y llora, Oye como va and A medley of her "Azucar!" shout and story behind it all (in Spanish, but ♥)).

- Made lots and lots of icons yesterday of Underworld. Am still not done. There's a lot of Sonja icons - more so that Lucian, sexy beast that he is. Also? Shocked that Michael Sheen isn't a sexy beast when non-Lucian (although scruffy goth or emotastic Russian-spy-ish may work), and likewise shocked he's in Frost/Nixon which a) gives me the giggles because, hello, slash! and b) I really, really want to watch this movie.

- Will start watching Castle (Season 1). There's too many shows I want to start watching, but I've decided that Nathan Fillion's as good as any a show to start with. Whoot Nate!

- Set the mold for newly-bought vampire canines for Halloween so they'd fit my teeth. May have walked around with them for a while, feeling delightfully vampiric.

- I can here my flatmate's boyfriend's snores... Not surprising considering the walls are so thin her alarm clock can wake me up.

I watched the first episode of Castle awhile ago but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. The girl who plays the daughter was great, though.
