Purple Broccoli?
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: BBC4-Interview with Alan Alda Topic: Elisabeth's Entries Received the weekly organic box today from Able & Cole. I never realized that broccoli could be purple:
more crap
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: Elisabeth goin' thumpa thumpa on the ol' pi-an-o Topic: Stephen Says We just saw The Yes Men Actually, it's not so bad if you ask me... There's lots of hand holding and she doesn't make obscure demands. If only I hand the right kind of implants. Not the kind that the Yes Men have (Though I'm not bragging...) Anyway, see the movie and tell me whree I can see the 1st 1/2 of the video I linked to below. It's important stuff. Um, ignore the above. I'm embarassed. More embarassed than doing the robot with a belly dancer.

London Crawling
Mood: ![]() Topic: Elisabeth's Entries It's Sunday morning and after a good lie-in I feel recovered from our 24hrs in London. The long story: we left our apartment at 6:00pm. Our destination was the Comfort Inn at Harrow so we could drop off our belongings before going to Bombay Dreams in Wembley. Stephen was wearing dress pants, dress shoes, a blue botton-up shirt and a TIE. I wore a new black pleated skirt (only 45 GBP at House of Fraser marked down from 180 GBP- nice!), black top, black tights, black shoes. We bought two travel cards, and were on our way to Waterloo, which is usually only 30-40 min. It took us 2 hours to get to Harrow:

Weekend Update
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: The mis-Education of Lauren Hill Topic: Stephen Says First things first: This article is pretty funny but scary and sad at the end where it describes Bush making fun of himself. Does he think that acting like an idiot on purpose is funny? Besides, that's the same joke he's been telling for years. There's a video of the shenanigans here, as well. Now for the important stuff: The sex shop WILL be going ahead in Woking. So long as they sell LEGAL porn (imagine!), have double-doors at the entrance so that shoppers & passer-by's can't see inside, that they don't advertise through 'media' and handouts and that they set up security cameras! Good Lord, I believe that a sex shop in Woking is mentioned in the book of Revelations to coincide with the breaking of the 4th seal. The Rapture really is upon us! That said, I've just realized that I can buy creamy chocolate penises at our local joke shop (Is the Church aware of this travisty???) so I know what I'll be having for lunch. On a serious note, we really noticed what a small town vibe Woking has when compared to London. Everyone's so, I don't know, small town & suburban. Well, the youth is. It's hard to explain but when kids try to pull off punk on Woking, it's forced and trendy. When kids do it in London, it's still trendy but just better... It's too early in the morning to be blogging & my freezer pizza is tempting me. On Monday, Woking is going to try and get into the Guiness Book of World Records by gathering 140,000 HAND PRINTS over the next year. Then join them all together. And wrap them around an art gallery. Germany holds the current record with 119,537 hand prints. E&I are going to go. The radio station's going to be there, as will a children's presenter from TV. Can't wait. Woking: Bringing culture to you in ways you never expected.

Die pinko scum!
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: Of Montreal - Sunlandic Twins Topic: Stephen Says Back from a very intense 24 hours in London that, I must say, has really opened our eyes to alot of different aspects of the city. In a good way - it doesn't seem like an amusement park for the damned (so much) any more. I'm tired and won't get into the hours of hours that we spent on the tube, the Indian dinner & dance we went to, the sleazy hotel we stayed in or todays shenanigans with bank-holiday tube-works, Camden, Soho, etc... We're officially boring. What movies do we rent to get us through the week? 2 documentaries and an Almodovar film. Pretentious, dour lefties, that is what we are. That said, after months of whining & searching, I've finally gotten the motorhead shirt I've been wanting. Of course, it doesn't compare to the worn-out goodness that the one I had when I was 15 would have been had I still had it but, in the years to come, I hope that it will serve me well.

Beep Beep!
Mood: ![]() Topic: Elisabeth's Entries I passed! 34 out of 35 on the multiple choice, and 64 out of 75 for the hazard perception. Next: manual driving lessons... It was a very strange experience taking this test. I'm not sure I can fully describe how weird it all was, so instead I'll just post the pictures I took while wandering around Guildford (which is where I had to take the test).

Tootie Fruitie
Mood: ![]() Topic: Elisabeth's Entries I just made a new dessert = I am so happy! I was sitting around having eaten leftover ratatouille,which incidently turned out marvelously (oh organic ingredients taste so good!), thanks Stephen, and was lamenting that we ate all the cookies and we have no butter for baking cakes or anything. But we had those damn plums from last week's box which we have been avoiding by hiding in the vegetable drawer. And then it hit me: make a plum pie with out the crust! I added a bit of raspberry jam, a few strawberries, sprinkled with a brown sugar/olive butter/flour mixture, baked at 190 C for about 10 min: et viola:

Man, I can't wait...
Topic: Stephen Says E&I are looking into activities in South Carolina and I must say, I am pumped. It's been a long, long time since I've been to the proper south and I'm looking forward to the cultural experience. These are the things I want to do in Edisto: -Get some groceries at the Piggly Wiggy and some veggies over at the Geechie Boy. -Maybe for a nice night out, grab a bite at Buck's Pizza or Noble Roman's Pizza, but more likely I'll be cravin' some propah southern vittles at the Sea Cow's Eatery or Po-Pigs Bo-B-Q. -Some nightlife at Coot's Lounge (Which sounds like a place that I'll fit right in at) -And before I leave, I'll be sure to get some souveniers at Clawdaddy's. I can't wait. It's going to be weird.
And the question of the day is...
Topic: Stephen Says Should Prince Harry go to war? My vote: why not? After all, like most people who flunk out of school (Seriously; the ginger-haired wimp had to cheat in art class. Who on earth needs to cheat in art class?), he was given the choice: get a job or join the army. And of course, when you're royalty you don't work unless it's to keep you’re 'good' name out of the tabloids because you still haven’t caught on that that somewhere; anywhere in England there is a paper out there willing to pay thousands of pounds to anyone who can come up with a story on the royal family, no matter how ludicrous that story may be. (Hmm, I sense a get rich quick scheme…) So he joined the army and, after a bit of confusion about which army he had actually joined in the first place (I assume that on top of flunking out of art, he also flunked history as he had no idea that England had in fact not been conquered by the Nazi’s and that dressing up like one is considered poor taste.), he did his training and is now a soldier. Man, I would love to see his hazing video. If Canadians can produce hazing videos as extreme as we have done in the last few years, I’m fairly certain that British ones set a new level of depravity. So now, having avoided getting a job, Harry has completed his training and has (oh shit!) realized that he’s now got a job. As a soldier. And that means he’s going to have to go to, um, war. Now far be it on me to wish death upon unemployed leeches who sponge off the tax payer while maintaining a lifestyle that is so much richer than those tax payers who foot your bill (Next week’s article: The royal family as yobs: there is no difference) but I think that sending the man who’s 3rd in line to the throne to Iraq is a very good idea. After all, the lad has no direction, no real skills (Other than somehow managing to pull hot girls & strippers at clubs)(And he still doesn’t understand where all these stories about him come from…) and no real personality other than being the so-called black sheep of the royal family. With luck he’ll go to war and see the reality of everything first hand and maybe then he can grow a social conscious and maybe be a little like a human and a little less like Britain’s answer to Patrick Bateman. Yeah, right. Anyway, I’ve ranted enough, really. I’m just procrastinating because I’ve got to do some dishes and get dinner on and it’s ratatouille and I’ve never cooked it before and I don’t really want it but Elisabeth’s got her heart on it and we need to use this big box of organic veggies up because we’re going to get another one next week. This organic box of food is a little like real-life Tetris – every week food comes and if you haven’t eaten it all, then it begins to pile up. So you need to find meals throughout the week that fit all the foods into it otherwise you’ll keep getting more and more food and then it’s game over. Mind you, it’ll be game over for me if I don’t get dinner on, so…
