Highlights of the past few days.

OK, so what is the opposite of "highlight"? I know there's a word "lowlight", but I've only ever seen it used in hairdressing or stage management. "Lowdark" just sounds stupid. Hmmm.

The highlights:

• watching bizarre cable channels with Tim.
  
• shopping in Tesco at 1am on Saturday morning.
  
• the rather excellent Tesco green pesto.
  
• buying some purple dykey leggings and a t-shirt.
  
• getting the Bloodhound Gang album "Hooray for Boobies" and getting various silly songs from it stuck in my head.
  
• ruthlessly pruning my video game collection and taking enough old games to Computer Exchange that I was able to buy a Dreamcast.
  
• Samba de Amigo
  
• making a fake chicken pie that everyone liked, even the meat eaters.
  
• yummy food at Noodle Express in New Malden last night.
  

The low... points:

• lying in bed all day on Thursday because I was too depressed to get up.
  
• sitting on the floor crying for an hour because everyone was busy.
  
• lying in bed all day on Friday (ditto).
  
• lots of lovely nightmares.
  
• Tesco running out of pesto just when I was getting addicted to it.
  
• none of the other pestos I could find being suitable for vegetarians.
  
• not being able to sleep even when I was falling over with tiredness.
  

wishes are like horses...

It's Richard's birthday next month, and he's the type of person who freezes when asked what he'd like for his birthday. So I've been putting together a list of things that I think he'd like. At the same time, I've been editing my own <http://www.helen-louise.net/wishlist.html>wishlist because having bought a Dreamcast, I'm no longer quite so desperate to have someone donate me a Playstation 2 :)

Our flat isn't very big, so for everything new that comes in, we need to get rid of something old. Here's my list of things for sale... ( Read more... )
