So, a month's worth of update to come. But for now, a cocktail I had somewhere in Shoreditch:

Take one mean-ass espresso and make it cold.
Make a martini glass cold and add the cold coffee to the cold glass.
Slosh in a wee shot of frangelica, so they say, but I fancy my chances with amaretto.
Gently stir in a little toke of kalhua....

Robson Green? Are you mental? tongue

Why not watch some quality crime drama like The Shield or The Wire instead eh? wink

I have no opinion or comments, as I don't know a damn thing about any of this.

But I guess this still qualifies as a comment. Hmmmm.
The conundrum.

Well, that's what everyone was shouting.

But it was Machine Head's house, every other band was merely sub letting.

My desk looks just like that too, I wouldn't worry.

Ballet = love Part of our studio was roped off today because it had flooded in all the rain. What a mess! I got there early and had a nice conversation with the teacher. She was asking me lots of stuff about my previous dancing - I wasn't sure whether she said 'have you done ballet before?' or 'you have done ballet before,' and then wished...

I can't help but think that would result in merely a disgruntled and slightly greasy cat.

Which is no bad thing I'll grant you.

I'd prefer it if Christina didn't do the stupid Mariah-Carey stylings towards the end. But even so...

I've got an extremely important life decision to make. No, not whether to move to London. Nor what colour to dye my hair. But whether to alter the narrative of the novel to 1st person perspective. More on this later.

Edit: A dude on myspace who I've messaged, like, once or something just posted in a bulletin that I rekindled his interest in writing. blush

The fact that they don't look like they should write songs like that but do is just one of the many reasons I love the Deftones.

Re-edited to say: SHIT!
It's ok. My set is back.

----

Without wishing to sound as though I'm making with the anti-American sentiments, I have been wondering. Considering that the art of the cocktail was pretty much pioneered in America, why is it that today the US influence on specific cocktails is exactly what makes them shit?

Case 1: the margaritas Carmady and I had...

Just arrived back from New York. Can't really talk about it at the moment, I think I'm going to die if I don't eat something. It's not that I didn't eat while I was away, it's just that I don't know how long I've been awake, what time my last meal was or how many times I should have eaten since I last got out...

So. Seven (count them!) years ago, I sent a copy of a manuscript to a literary agent in NW1. I'd already recieved in the region of twenty rejection letters from agents and publishers, but to be fair, most of them didn't actually *read* the sample I gave them.

This particular literary agent sent me what I thought was another rejection. It was more helpful than...
