"Mrs Chater demanded satisfaction, and now you are demanding satisfaction!"

"I cannot spend day and night satisfying the demands of the Chater family!"

Arms up, darlings. \o/ Katie and I are off to see Arcadia again tomorrow. Probably with ludicrously cramped seats again, but what else can you do when you don't have £100 to spend on tickets? Nothing, that's what, except squish up like an accordion.

In other news: they're planning to make a Teen Wolf TV series (hilarious), copy-and-paste girl is WHINGEING LIKE HER LIFE IS TRAGIC (annoying), my apple is crunchy (excellent), I need to remember I'm going to Oxford on Saturday (difficult)*, and my bracelets are still being all bangly (joyous).




* Xanthe - alas, I already have plans for Saturday, so cannot come with the Brownies, I'm afraid.

"I'll sing you a song about Tim Brooke-T..."

(Gacked from someone whose name temporarily escapes this chronicler's mind.) You can learn a lot about someone by the music they listen to. So here is the game!

"Darling. I don't know how to tell you this, but there's a Chinese family in our bathroom."

♥ Katie and I went to see (500) Days of Summer at the kino, which was really good. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. I liked the non-linear structure (style > substance). Tomorrow is Arcadia, Friday I am going to see Ben in some random melding of all musical versions of Figaro, and Saturday is Catherine's 30th birthday party, so I will be vee busy, and then Katie's parents are coming to stay for part of next week, which will be nice. I like parental visits, and, though naturally I adore my own parents, Katie's parents are an awful lot more relaxing! However, my own mater will be staying with us next Sunday night, so it will be nice to see her too.

♥ After getting back from the cinema, we made late-night spag bol. Awesome. Garlic bread and everything (good vintage, btw, Katie). Also, we randomly received a tiny avalanche of post (almost as if the PO hadn't delivered anything for a couple of weeks which surely couldn't be the case) and an Amazon parcel apiece. Woo. My shoes arrived today, and although they are exactly the same style in different colours, one pair fits while the other doesn't. Weird. Will try the red ones on again tomorrow in the hopes of a different outcome.

♥ Also: tomorrow, prepare to stand back as I talk about how a Miley Cyrus song reflects one of my, for want of a better word, philosophical beliefs.
