First up, if you haven’t already, send me your email address using this link HERE. All my email addresses disappeared in a computer cock up.
Well hey, where have I been? Can you tell me? In Ann Arbor basically is the answer.
Went for a huge walk the other day in Bird Hills which is a huge woodland park. The walk wasn’t supposed to be quite so long but there was an element of getting lost thrown in and some directions were needed from a grumpy cyclist who was loading his bike into his car. Apparently the concept of giving us a lift was a bit beyond him so we carried on our forced march for a good 3 hours before getting back to the car. It was all fun though and much laughing was done.
Here’s a nice thing about a dog food brand… This stuff is important!
Election fever is over and the news has gone back to it’s normal self. The thing you notice here (or I do anyway) is that news is only shown if it has a direct link to the US. Foreign news there is very little of (Fallujah and Israel/Palestine only) so I am even more addicted to the BBC news website than ever just to remind me that there is a “rest of the world” out there. That said, I did just read on the CNN news ticker that Leo Sayer is moving to the colony of Australia. Very odd. I wonder what he’s being transported for? Why the hell is that news?
I had a very bad nights sleep last night for some reason so feel most out of sorts today. You know those nights when you wake up very anxious for no apparent reason? And whatever you think about, your mind puts the worse possible spin on it? Had to get up and watch TV in the end to make it all go away. Doh! Watched the film Secretary which was good until the end when it all went a bit whack. In other TV news, there’s a good show I saw one episode of called Desperate Housewives, and another that I’m addicted to called Family Bonds on HBO. It’s ace and Alun and Ann-Marie, you’ll love it when it comes on if it’s not already playing in Britainland.
It’s very cold here now and I have invested in a nice black wooly hat and a pair of black leather gloves so I look just like a burglar. Once when I was drumming for a band I was coming back from a rehearsal dressed much the same way on a snowy night when I was stopped by 2 representatives of the local constabulary who were investigating some local house thievery. They asked me what I’d been up to and I told them I had been drumming. They asked me to open my bag and when confronted by the contents (some drumsticks and a towel) one of them said “Oh yeah? So what’s all this stuff for then son?” as though he had just collared an old lag in an episode of the Sweeney. Still tickles me.
Tried a couple of times to find a restaurant in Ann Arbor which serves a good vegetarian option with very little success. Supposed to be a bit of a hippy town so you’d expect better. Ended up going to Seva which actually is a vegetarian restaurant, which may make you wonder why I didn’t just go there in the first place… cos I’m pig headed, that’s why. Talking of which, did they have to make this stuff so anatomically accurate? And as for “Eats like chicken”, well, what language would that be then?
