Right Now

I am crying with laughter at around 1:43 minute of this. I think it might be one of my favourites!

(Phew, indeed, Anna)

PHEW!

Right Now

I am rather grateful that the extra hour I had asleep this morning was nothing to panic about - it was cancelled out by "daylight saving" which I had forgotten about. The only reason I was worried is that Right Now I am about to embark on making a chocolate cake for my dad's birthday tea which is in fact almost 4 months late - he was born at the beginning of August (some years ago, in case you were starting to feel bewildered by my family's seemingly unorthadox set-up)...

Here's one of my favourite pics of my dad, having a quick doze on a cliff top in Wales.

Right......now

I'm beginning to lose faith in London's transport infrastructure. In my recent attempts to travel on weekends I have been left with the feeling that it would have been easier to travel by car. In fact today it would have been easier to travel on the back of a half blind one legged unicyclist who suffers from sunlight induced epileptic fits!

Right Now

I am GUTTED that I didn't think to make this. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks awesome

Right Now

I'm wishing I had thought of the Octopie - it's incredibly amazing and good.

Also right now I have the following earworm :"So don't ask me to wine & dine ya, I'm from Brooklyn you're from Regina" and I haven't even listened to that song recently!

Now I'm going to search for it on youtube...found it! Here's a link . (No vid sadly...)

Right Now

It won't let me put the octopus link in the body of the text. Grr. Think the 'Octu-Pie' creator deserves credit.

Right Now

Enough Said

And now...

...I'm sad that I didn't realise that Lloyd Cole was on tour at the mo 'cause I'd have loved to have seen him again. Bah. Why don't I ever remember to look at concert listings?
Here are some pictures of his rather lovely face to make me feel even more disappointed...
  

Right Now

I am thinking that A Bit Of Fry & Laurie is my all-time favourite sketch show and I love love love it. I was watching series 1 at the weekend and was very happy about it indeed!

Right Now

Oh no, I've done that thing again when i post something and then I can't bear to look at it... So here something similarly smutty...

Right Now

Oh Anna, I wasn't being anti the pastie per se, just in combination with any sort of badger based garment. I really think you could carry the pastie off! Don't go changing your birthday outfit for me! I'd feel terrible. In fact I was thinking about just wearing red lacey pants.

Right Now

I am delighted that (thanks to Felix's facebook link) I have found a home for my dance. A place where it will be revered not despised. A place where it can finally be at peace.
The guy in the stripy top is almost doing said dance towards the beginning (roundabout 30 - 40 seconds in) but needs to work on increasing his use of overly intense eye contact...

Right Now I'm Thinking

Damn - it sounds like pasties have been somewhat spoiled for Sas now that they have a dead-badger connotation, so I'd better rethink my outfit for my birthday drinks. Pah.

Also, by small coincidence I had a Greggs vegetable pasty for the first time yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. It didn't have any tassles on thankfully - they tend to get stuck in one's teeth.

RIGHTNOW!

Right now I'm very pissed off because the absolutely useless TFL journey planner service has made me nicely late. Cheers TFL!

Right Now

That delightful Rachael-based garment is reminding me that Becca went to a party on Friday night and there was a girl wearing... wait for it.... red lacey pants, pasties and a cape/shrug made out of a badger skin with the badger head resting between her shoulder blades! (If you prefer to imagine her wearing greggs cheese and onion pasties I will not hold it against you).
In the interest of asserting my solidarity with the badgers I have included a photo of a badger wearing a badger cape with the head in the correct head position.

Right Now

I am amused that the shops seem to be concentrating on supplying appropriate jumpers for the Takens-Milne family this season. Will Eric or Henrica be next do you reckon?

RightyNowy

I just got very confused and accidentally started following ourselves, then spent about half an hour trying to unfollow us. Saskia do I detect a hit of sarcasm in your surprise at my fondness for Georgia?
This drinks game sounds fun I must attempt it next time I'm in a drinky type place ie work or a snooty restaurant.

Right Now

My boss has just declared 'Sea salt and balsamic vinegar! Pull yourself together!' Which made me laugh! Especially when i imagined it as an 'A bit of fry and laurie' soundbite.

Right Now

Berek Warren! As I live and breath! I had no IDEA you fancied Georgia! That has put an enormous grin on my (half cut) face.
Erm, ok, on the drinks front... they were, erm, Pepsi Max, Squash and Ginger Beer. Anna just happens to like the accumulation of drinks. On one notable occasion in a rather stuck up restaurant in New York she managed to accumulate 5 (is that right Anna?) and on that occasion some of them were alcoholic.

RightNow

The job is charity call centre stuff, so not super exciting but it fits round college. The dame in question is the unbelievably lovely and incredibly beautiful Georgia Cook.
What's all this about drinking at work then and how do I convince my boss to let me do it too?

Right Now

Anna: I have THREE drinks on the go! And I am at work, which I think makes it an even more daring feat!
Berek: How very exciting. Who is the lucky dame?? What's the job?

RightNow

What an exciting fortnight it's been so far. I completed UCAS, acquired a job and best of all got me an amazing girlfriend. Times right now are good.

Right now

I am surprised because I don't think I even knew MCA had been poorly, yet happy that he is making a recovery. Poor Adam. The Beasties are amazing.

Mike's (current) wife is surprisingly mumsy, eh? Do you like my vaguely threatening parentheses? Ha ha ha.

Right Now

I am chuckling at this:
http://www.fixedearth.com/knowledge%20impact.htm
I feel almost entirely persuaded by its extremely articulate and fact-based reasoning. In fact, from now on, I intend to refer to Psychology as 'Freud’s evolution-based, ostensibly secular "knowledge of the mind" witchcraft' - it just trips off the toungue.

Right Now

I am quite shocked to discover this!
http://www.tamradaviscookingshow.com/
I was VERY happy to hear that MCA is on the mend, but I am rather shocked that this is what Mike D's wife gets up to!! Anna, I think it is time you swept in and stole him off her!

Compare and contrast with my competition:

Damn it! I love Le Tigre!

Right Now

Hee hee, I have the original of that list right here...

Erm... Here's a picture of Sam eating the back pocket of my jeans to distract you from the fact that I haven't done a single thing on that list! Oo, but I became slightly more ergonomic. Can that count??

Right Now

I am a little startled. I was just reading the tv guide & it mentioned that Lost had a disappointing ending  - I think I only ever watched 1 episode but I suddenly wanted to know what the ending was so I decided to google it. I got as far as typing "what was" and google instant came up with "what was Lost all about?" WTF?! Are the googlemen SPYING on me or something?

Right Now

I am looking through some folders and have just come across this photo from NYE 2009, which sets out Saskia's and my own New Year's resolutions for this year. WITH ONLY 2.5 MORE MONTHS TO GO, HOW ARE YOU GETTING ON SAS???

I'm terribly afraid to say that I have failed at all 4 so far... I might start working on an aerodynamic fashion line RIGHT NOW though.

Right Now

Sorry, this is not very 'right now', but right now I am too upset by the bidet picture and need to put something up to push it down the page! Sadly, if you want to employ this person as a house this photo was taken a couple of years ago so they have probably been snapped up by now!
Anna, I like the blog a lot! Makes me want to live in New York.

Right Now

I'd like to share one of my favourite blogs: http://advancedstyle.blogspot.com/ 

I love it.

Right Now

I am being disturbed by this
Do you think it happens when you flush??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SB-BidetIntegrated.jpg

Right Now

I am amazed that it's UCAS form time already when you've barely even started the course, Berek! These are exciting times. I have a fish at home. I will ask him to spread the word around the university fishes about your nice hook. Oo, that sounds like a euphemism. Sam heard a rumour that you had an ugly hook! Oops, this has turned into a piece of automatic writing. Although, come to think of it, automatic writing is very much in the spirit of the RIGHT NOW ethos! Can you be in the spirit of an ethos, I wonder?

Don't look now, but we seem to have attracted a new follower! We must try our best not to scare this one away!

It's done!

Right now I'm relived of my UCAS worries. That's right people I have completed the dreaded form and my personal statement has been finalised (after 7 drafts), inspected and complemented by my tutor. The whole lot has now been sent off to be stuck onto a fishing line and dangled into the ocean of education in the hope that some shinny university bites. Fingers crossed for a 100pound Oxford Kipper.

Right Now

I am:

cross because my sewing machine has just broken and I'm in the middle of making a relatively exciting garment

AND

entertained at the recording I just listened to of Christmas dinner c.1976 when I can be heard calling for more meat, and at one point asking for Spam! (No Spam was to be had.) This was my "look" in 1976. I appear to be trying to pick something up - perhaps it was some nice Spam.

Right now I just work up infront of my computer mid way through my big pile of homework. I am also loving Saskia's recent picture based RightNows.

Just to put it in perspective - this is the fancy dress outfit!

Right now

I am in awe of Saskia's most recent contribution to this blog and most entertained by her recent "how much = too much" question aussi. (I just put aussi in italics to make it even more pretentious.)

And right NOW I'm going to top my hairdye up...

Right Now

I am wondering (for Anna) how much time spent making your fancy dress costume versus amount of time spent actually attending the associated fancy dress party is too much time spent making your fancy dress costume versus amount of time spent actually attending the associated fancy dress party?

Right Now

That is all!

Right Now

• I am pRETty sure that MY voice is WELL modULated but I'll be sure to check the rest of the criteria to be sure of social success.
• I would like to beg Saskia's pardon for being about to correct her about the How Much Is Too Much question - it has always been a personal project of mine (always = 12 months in this case) and praps Bekka joined in at one point, but it's open to ALL! In fact I think it is a person's social duty to get the facts down in black & white to protect their fellow man from making the same mistakes as them.
• I am also wondering what we have done to lose our follower. Perhaps we are just toooooo clever and sophisticated for them.
• I am off to Cornwall now. Hurrah!

RIGHT NOW

... I would like to know where our follower went...

RIGHT NOW

I am thinking that the How much/Too much debate is usually performed by Goodall Campbell Incorporated. I am eager to put some thought into it though. I shall ponder.

RIGHT NOW

Anna, before you go assuming that that garment wants to make a lifelong commitment to you I think it is imperative that you should take this quiz. Is your voice well-modulated??

Right Now...

...I am considering getting married to this jumper:

Whilst having a torrid affair with this dress:

Please don't judge me.

Right now I'm wondering if it's time to relaunch the important question:

How much (something) is too much (something)?

This is surely the perfect forum for such a project - the question can be posed Right Now and any answers can be posted Right Now with no need for any past tense reflection... erm... possibly...?

I can't remember any of the previously posed and answered questions but I believe that one or more of them probably involved cake.

You might not remember/know what I'm talkin' about, but I'm going to take that risk.

RIGHT NOW...

... I am pleased to announce that I had a lovely weekend in Pembrokeshire, and am also happy that Berek could be studying in Oxford in the future!

RIGHT NOW

I think that is rather splendid news, Berek!
