Today I spent a disproportionate amount of time in bed

  • I woke up at eleven, after having over sixteen hours sleep over the twenty four hours.
  • I had fruit toast and coffee at the cafe down the road, where I discussed Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's marriage, how long it would last and the possibilities for starting a betting sheet.
  • I rented three DVDs, all costume dramas, two of which were three hours long each.
  • I watched two of afore mentioned DVDs in bed, on the computer.
  • I poured coffee on left over chocolate pudding and ate it in bed.
  • I cooked weird beetroot/kumara/orange/cinnamon/sesame seed soup for dinner.
  • I was evicted from the bedroom because I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to read and watch movies and stuff. And Andy wants to watch the soccer in the morning. So his sleep is more important than my desire to spend more time on my delicious, delightful, and (let's face it) distracting bed.

  3. Abby doll, pudding is like cakey stuff that you bake in a pudding bowl. V. English in origin, although the chocolate self-saucing variety is uniquely antipodean. Surely you Canadian types have pudding? What do you eat when you've finished dinner?

  4. We call it dessert.

    Pudding to us is that gross powder stuff that Jello makes that you add water to and it becomes all gelatinous and sickening.

    No one is to blame for this but Bill Cosby, though. Damn his Jello endorsements in the early 90s.

  5. You know, I wrote that comment and I thought "she'll say something about dessert". Darling, we also have dessert, but desserts are different to puddings. Like puddings are the stodgy homely versions of the more cosmopolitan and exotic dessert.

  6. Also, Dan, I'm not sure where exactly you might find Goddess Dancing in the UK, but if you hang around one of those shops which sells fairie merchandise and crushed velvet/blacklace confections (ala Fleetwood Mac) you'd probably find a flyer eventually...

  7. This Nicole Kidman hysteria that has even been going on over here is... mad.

    I give them ooooohhh, less than a year. Didn't Renee Zelwigger marry some country singer and it lasted a week?

    That said I think N Kidman is one of the finest and most versatile actors currently treading the silver screen.

    Can you tread the silver screen?
