Despite the fact that January thus far has been absolutely insane in terms of my workload, today was dead. I spent a few hours in the centre trying to remember the passwords for the extra email accounts I'd set up with hotmail and gmail (on behalf of the centre) and watched as everyone else just got on with shit. I then spent a really boring two hours on the front desk. Yeah.

What's that flist - do I have links for you? Why, yes. Yes, I do. How did you know?

01. in_a_name is open to prompts. Go! Share your appellation-related needs!

02. BAJOFONDO.* GUSTAVO SANTAOLALLA.** LA MALA RODRIGUEZ.*** FUCK YES.
*) formerly The Bajofondo Tango Club; many hearts
**) as in: he who has composed music for Amores Perros, Deadwood, The Motorcycle Diaries, Brokeback Mountain, Babel... &c. &c.
***) if you don't know Por la Noche, you need to rectify that shit Right Now

03. Q&A with Justin Hawkins of The Darkness fame.

I was drawn to 80s rock because I loved the fact that it was ugly men trying to look like girls and subsequently being really popular with girls. Something about that appealed to me.

04. An article re:Jenny Lumet - daughter of Sydney Lumet - who wrote the script for Rachel Getting Married which is a film I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN WTF.

"That's the kind of shit that went on," she tells me when we meet for lunch in a coffee shop on New York's Upper West Side. She offers other examples of the "shit that went on" in her childhood: Sean Connery made her her first hot toddy after she'd had root canal surgery; Mel Brooks wrote a note to her older sister: "Dear Amy, I love your dad. I'm not a fag, I'm just a Jew."

05. I love this so much. I keep going back to it, again and again. It's not even particularly complex; I just think the images say a lot when put together.

06. No, but really, what's the deal with all these dresses that look like the bottom-half was a last minute decision? (Saffron Burrows, by the way, wore a dress that looked like it was imprisoning her lack-of-bust and the only reasons why I am comfortable with letting her get away with that shit is because a) I kind of love her, did I mention? and b) she adorned the dress with her gorgeous face and bare shoulders. She is Hellenically marvellous at times.) (I also love Holly Hunter and, despite the ruffle, I think that pink looks GREAT on her.)

Other shit that is going on: I think my incisor is going to fall out (my gum really hurts so either I stabbed myself in the mouth or that tooth is about to vacate, an option which does not appeal); I watched the second episode of The United States of Tara and wanted to stab Alice; Walkers' new range of crisps is disgusting. No, but really: chocolate and chilli (it was terrible), Builder's Breakfast (???), CAJUN SQUIRREL. WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.

--

I don't know. I'm weirdly excitable and yet feeling completely like I wouldn't care if I switched off right now. I'm off to watch the second half of Being Human now - I forgot it was on last night because I was, um, watching Whose Line clips on Youtube? Yes. Yes, I was.

CAJUN SQUIRREL.

*falls over laughing* What, really? One wonders if Cajun Squirrels would taste differently from any other squirrel? Do they have some extra special sparkle that makes them go that much better with... crisps?

Perhaps a better question is, what the hell are they smoking at Walkers?
