The Way the Cookie Crumbles

Triple-Choc Cookies, originally uploaded by rhino75.

Tummy troubles, computer problems, sending bits of my phone flying to opposite corners of the room, trapping my hand underneath the sofa, Raphie leaving StarAc' - it's been a miserable few days. So, now I've (fingers crossed) sorted out most of this list (I don't think Raphie's going to change her mind), it's time to pick up my prescription from Dr. Feelgood. First of all, bake Nigella's triple-choc cookies (and fill flat with yummy smell). Second, pour a large Jack and Coke. Third, settle down to a double bill of "Shrek 2" and "Shortbus". I feel better already.

"Tell Me It's Not True..."

OK, that's from "Blood Brothers," but Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan singing Abba? In a movie? My darling Agnetha must be spinning like a top on her secluded island in the Swedish archipelago. Of course, I shall HAVE to see it as soon as it comes out (my italics) in order to confirm all my worst fears. On the plus side, Meryl sounds quite a lot like (pre-vocoder) Cher and we all love her, don't we? Don't we? (Is it just me?)
(with thanks to the wonderful Words Dept. for alerting me to this.)

Friday the 13th

...and I've gone all quiet, haven't I? Don't worry, I've not been chopped into pieces by an axe-wielding psycho just as I was about to have sex with a slutty school chum in an abandoned cabin by a lake. During a power cut. No sireee. That's NEXT week. If I play my cards right. This week, Rhino75 has instead been floored by a combination of a couple of very late work nights (eeeww) and an absolute humdinger of a night out/in as a send-off for my favourite socialite, who's gone to Brittany to make a film. Even this evening, I settled down on the sofa with "The Time-Traveler's Wife" and some cranberry juice and LOOK AT THE TIME NOW. Aaaargh. Oh well, we're almost at the weekend. What are you up to?
