February
Lets name some things that are great about NOW…
Number 1. Mad Men
I don’t think I really need to explain why this makes my list - the third series is currently airing in the UK, which means wednesday nights just got a whole lot more interesting. The costumes, the cocktails, the dirty, dirty levels of cigarette smoking…ahhhh.
Number 2. Pancakes
I missed ‘Shrove Tuesday’, but refuse to let that stop me from having pancakes. Banana American style will be my hotcake of choice, plastered in syrup. Scratch pancakes and make that food in general: there lots of great things in season now - like oranges, apparently. And, um, cabbage. So, coleslaw all round I guess.
Number 4. http://failblog.org/
This isn’t specific to February - or any time, really - but I have only just discovered it and it is really, really funny. There are some great links too, like ‘oddly specific’, and one about mistranslated street signs.
Number 5. The Wolfman (film)
…I haven’t seen it yet, and it is supposed to be sort of shit - but nevertheless a bit of hairy horror on an Orange wednesday never misses, as far as I’m concerned.
Number 6. A Single Man (film)
Directed by Tom Ford… I am kind of intrigued. It’s supposed to be distractingly stylish, which I actually like the sound of.
Number 7. Sonia Rykiel for H&M
I already bought in to the underwear, now she’s doing clothes too..?! I need to get myself to a store, pronto.
Number 8. It’s totally getting lighter out!
I remember the days of it getting dark at 3.00pm, but now I don’t have to shut my curtains until at least 5.00. Now that’s real progress for you. Soon I can start entertaining fantasies about growing herbs in the garden… and not always sleeping with my electric blanket on.
