Smile Like You Mean It
Mar. 29th, 2006 11:37 amThat's it really - came on the radio and I thought "that's a good motto". Could add it to "dance like no one's watching" in fact.
Any lines from songs you'd quite like to take as personal mottos today?
I always liked that Ally McBeal thing about having a theme tune actually - tho I never could quite work out what mine was. Anyone got a theme tune today? ("Total Partial Eclipse of the Heart"? :-)
The sun's out for what feels like the first time in years, and the shoulder that I pulled Sunday night and has been agony since more or less, has receded to mere soreness-achiness and stiffness (tho still wo betide anyone pulling out behind me when I'm driving, as twisting my neck to look behind is still almost impossible - perhaps my theme film title should be Don't Look Now.) Last night I had the most ridiculously gluttonous Chinese with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thishardenedarm before he went off to his Big Interview in London - mmm, crispy duck and pancakes at the Szechuan House. And that was only the starter :-) Then we had gong bao chicken, Singapore noodles, lamb in black bean sauce and aubergine szechuan style, and I embarrassed V with trying out my 4 words of Mandarin. (Lucky him - I'd forgotten I still knew the words for old Mandarin swearword, "your mouth is full of penis hairs".) Hadn't been there since it used to be at the bottom of my road (it's near Tollcross now) and it hasn't changed - still full of real Chinese people, would be student Mandarin speakers (it's the only non Cantonese speaking restaurant in town) and old white commie fellow travellers. Very nostalgic, and fucking good food.
I haven't really managed to get any work done last 3 days between agony, lack of sleep and peripheral emotional upset, so I guess it's back to the grind now. At least the adoption Bill's out, which makes one of my jobs much easier - yay. Next: sorting out my sleep schedule. Don't blink ..
