MTC's Queen Lear. Biggest load of (Shakespearean) shite I've seen in years.  I left at interval.  Thank god they were comps.

Four of the big 'have-been-on-there-for-ages' to-do's were ticked off today... about bloody time.  Will I be able to achieve at least one more this week?  Stay tuned.

The Virgin Mobile ads with Brad Pitt's brother make me quite sad... how on earth did they talk him into this?!?

Kudos, Danny Boyle. That was a top-notch, beautifully British opening ceremony. Particularly loved Sir Ken reciting Shakespeare and Mr Bean's keyboard antics.

I haven't read any of the Twilight books and I refuse to read any of the Fifty Shades books either.

This is a very good argument as to why I won't waste my time on the latter:

You know what, facebook 'friend' who writes snarky comments on my status about how I can do fun stuff because I "clearly don't have kids"?  I have friends with kids who do just as much fun stuff (read: mid-week partying with friends) as I do... not all parents are boring-stay-at-home-and-whinge-on-facebook-about-how-much-your-life-sucks-cupboard cleaner-outers like you.

PS.  I had an awesomely fun night drinking fishbowl-sized margaritas, eating quesadillas with my mates.

My new VS dresses arrived today - hurrah! Now I just need to lose a few inches of winter weight from around my waist so I don't look five months pregnant in them...
