Daniel: Oh, well, okay… right. Well, I mean, I’m a little relieved.
Sam: Why?
Daniel: Well, because I thought it would be something worse.
Sam: [incredulous] Worse than the total agony of being in love?
Daniel: Oh. No, you’re right. Yeah, total agony.

My favourite thing I learned today

My step-brother’s wife gave their newborn daughter the middle name of Julie… not after his sister but her imaginary childhood friend.

I thought I was gonna choke, I was laughing so hard.

I’m yet to meet the woman but everything I’ve heard about her so far has her marked as a complete nutter.

How does your voice still do things to me after all these years? A very classy appearance on “Who Do You Think You Are” tonight, thanks :)

Is it too early for New Years plans?

I’m damn excited right now… have just booked a table for myself & seven dear friends to commune with the amazing Jeff Martin again on 30th December. A couple of hours riding up the coast, a mind-blowing show, good food, plenty to drink and a cheap night’s accommodation in the pub.

Still have no idea what’s happening on the 31st mind, but I’m off to a great start.

Kinda glad my temp assignment ended today… it’s past pumpkin time and I was about ready for sleep but I just found Road House on Movie Greats so I have to stay up… at least until the “up against the barn” scene :p
