Missy Higgins

Gillian Welch

Warren Zevon

Janis Ian

Tanya's "Cabbage With Chickpeas"

Who or what did you fall in love with this week ?





(edited for Englishness)

Marie Clay and Reading Recovery

Kal Penn

The new bling at the local YMCA

Oh, I'm glad you like it! My only problem with it is that the red cabbage seems to turn it all into an unappetizing shade of a purply gray. But it's yummy!

I'll have to think about the topic question for a bit...

I have to agree about the purply grey - hence no photos (or Bingalls will be onto me). It looks fabulous when the red cabbage first goes in, though I do agree on the yumminess - which is fortunate as I have another 4 portions in the freezer

Chiangrai Thai

Abdoujaparov

and NOT my ex-wife

Sarah Lee Rocky Road Overload ice-cream!

Abdoujaparov - although more plutonic, can we just be mates
Gigs at the Trouby, Rics
Watching the sun come up over Brisbane
Queensland Rail for saving me the $50 taxi fare

I think I would prefer platonic.

and you're right, I should add

Jamie, Cori, Matty and Marty from the Troubi.
Vicki, Cilla, George, Gloria and the rest of the Zoo Crew.

probably better than being "intrusive igneous" </plutonic>

My wife
The kids
Tinariwen
Fairtrade

George Harrison- I can't seem to get enough of him lately
My son Foster
The prospect of spring
My friend Shannon who proved her loyalty to me yet again
Receiving pictures of Charlie from England....

I miss Warren.

boring but true: mr Lover, who bought me flowers without realising the price

Nothing boring about sincere romantic gestures, L. Extremely loving and kind.

Though, since you brought it up, remember Madeline Kahn's line in "Blazing Saddles" when Hedley Lamarr brings her flowers. "Woses. How...ordinarwy."

im going to be really boring like always... i love shane macgowan
and err my family

Frosty, fresh, blue-skied, sunny late winter days and the first tentative signs of Spring. Ms Fred. Oh, and as ever, TLB, who fascinates me and makes me laugh.

Rex Cajun Creole Seasoning.
I've been putting it in almost everything I cook these days - fabulous! One of these days I'll have to try it on popcorn - I bet that's great!

Noa Noa.

My mother's pasta
Jalfrezi curry paste
Bloc Party

Hey! Noa Noa is a Danish company. Are they popular in Germany?

They seem to be Fred, yeah, at least in Berlin. At the shop around the corner from me, you have to get there as soon as the new stuff comes in to make sure you have the full choice of sizes and colors! There's quite a bit of stuff on eBay, hotly bid-upon, and I know of three shops that sell their stuff (two owned by the same people), and Noa Noa itself is opening a shop not far from my neighborhood.

I see debt and a bursting wardrobe in my future...

ABDOUJAPAROV...we do have something in common.For those that don't know, this group is one half of Carter USM. (aka-Les Carter).

Really Really Sorry is one of my favourite songs ,ever.I would recommend their album AIR ODEON DISCO PUB to everyone.

My sister's little 'un walking (un-aided) for the first time.
Shane and The Popes on friday.
Winter's over.
Lovely Pollen.

OUR NEW ONE DOLLAR COIN.

Thanks for explaining that KLF, I thought he meant the cyclist...honest!

Me too, Leontien.

Almost brings me to tears.

I love the fact that the cyclist and I share a birthday!

I'd never heard of the cyclist, until Geoff said they shared birthdays!

there's something about him here.

My god, he looks like my ex!

I am madly smitten with Mr. Roo this week.

ah......
The sun (that thing in the sky, not the paper) made my week

And male figure skaters: it's worldchampionship time!

That link, Geoff, says his records in Oz are released by Pop Gun. I used to know the guy who started that, it's a small world.

Friday is going to make my week - the start of the Easter holidays!

Aye, 'tis. Who'da thought we coulda met at a Billy Bragg gig?!

Her's the Lyrics to The ABDOUJAPAROV THEME (sing along Abdou) by ABDOUJAPAROV


He's a dangerous man from Uzbekistan, he's the Tashkent Terror,I can't say fairer
And he don't give a fuck, he took to many drugs (allegedly)
And i love him very much, I'd like to keep in touch
Abdoujaparov
So here's my new band with a great new sound,we carry his name like a 531 frame
We sing it from our knees and we sing it from the treeeeees
I know you won't announce it, you probably can't pronounce it
Abdoujaparov Abdoujaparov Abdoujaparov Abdoujaparov

I think this week I'm in love with Pokemon (the GBA game) - I know, very very sad but I've recently got the new one and its a good compensation for not being able to afford to go out (or buy any alcohol for home either...)
Other than that, I'm not really full of love as I usually am (well apart from Fishy, obviously!)

Smaller J has learnt to all but recite Vespers by A A Milne, she just needs the first couple of words of each line. I could listen all night every night.

Listening to Tom Waits this evening and enjoying a glass of red in an otherwise quiet house was also quite cool.

I love Bob Ingalls and I love Leontien.

Both of them made lovely generous gestures today that made me laugh out loud.

Blossom!

i love both of them too

Aye, tis a blessed miracle, to be sure, to be sure....

This week I'm in love with :

Beth Orton (it's the *catch* in her voice), Easytree.org for all the wonderful downloads, Missy Higgins (still !), the Hare Krishna Cookbook and autumn in Canberra

Two days ago, The Breakfast Club was on late night telly.

hmmm, Ally Sheedy :drool:

Liz Phair at the moment.

As always, the gorgeous Ms Fred who gave me a bunch of flowers because my divorce settlement came through. A day with very mixed feelings turned into a very happy one.

I'm really loving the Dove cosmetic product adverts on big billboards that nearly make me crash my car or fall off my bike whenever I see them.

Am I bad?

are they still doing 'real' women ???





and there's more

Hey, does this mean I can get my "Yes, I AM a model" t-shirt down out of the loft?!!

My mate Paul did the TV ads that went with the campaign (and the coloured hair one)
Do you know the photographer was the fabulous Rankin?
