The Banal Chew

The Banal Chew ...

is currently on break while Equivag spends some time working on his tan in the desert.

Why not visit his temporary new blog in the interim? It won't be any more fascinating, but you can laugh at him sweating.

   

At last, something to be happy about

      F`CK YEAH!

California, you rock

...even if I am still bitter about not getting the job at Redlands!

Where's my fingerless glove?

Today was the last meeting of the Breakfast Club in its current configuration...at least for a while.  Per usual, we sat and discussed jobs, travel, rugby, birthdays, sex...you know, typical koffee klatsch stuff. 

Good times.  I love you guys.  Carry on in my absence!  I'll need the goss.

You see us as you want to see us.
In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.
But what we know is that each one of us is
a brain...
and an athlete...
and a basket case...
a princess...
Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.

Alles Gute z.G.!

To my man on his birthday

Roses are red;
Violets are blue.
I'm in my 40s.
Next year you will be, too.

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.
To make up for it, here's some birthday haiku.)

Tuesday, sixth of May,
Nineteen hundred, sixty-nine.
I'm very lucky.

Sun with autumn breeze;
Birthday picnic in the park.
Laughter at your side.

When from time I gaze
Backward upon years we've had
Happy will I be.

The Word is On Your Lips

For whatever reasons, I am loving these tunes n vids right now.
Some old, some new,
Some funny, some blue.

Alphabeat, Fascination

Melanie, Brand New Key

Faker, This Heart Attack

Martin Solveig, C'est la vie (with the amazing U-Min dancers)

Pete Murray w/John Mayer, Opportunity (live)
