What's it gonna be?


I've been invited to a party on Friday, which I'm quite excited about as it's called Pirates and Ninjas.

Which begs the question...

Pirates or Ninjas?

Arrrr!

Princess Superstar


Over Christmas, I found myself watching, and dammit really enjoying Disney's Enchanted. I loved the old school animation at the beginning, seeing brand new characters drawn in that gorgeous and familiar 2D Disney style, especially redhead cutie Giselle. I've always had a soft spot for Disney princesses, partly because I grew up loving Disney animation, as so many did and also because I've always liked looking at pretty girls. So when the film's action zipped to present day New York, with real live people, I have to say I was a bit disappointed that this part was over, the sparkle and volume giving way to normal old reality.


But today I came across the news that this year Disney are releasing a new hand drawn 2D animation called The Princess and the Frog, it's going to be a proper fairytale, just like the classics, a new spin on The Frog Prince with Broadway-style songs, set in the jazz fueled New Orleans of the 1920s. It seems timed to perfection, what with Obama taking the reins, as it's got Disney's first black princess, called Tiana, as well as a lovesick Cajun firefly, a voodoo curse, John Goodman and a spoiled brat rival for the heroine. So now I can look forward to some of that retro Disney fuzziness. Yesss!

Push the Button

I hate it when the buttons on my cardigan look up at me all strained, pulling the little hole they live in all out of shape. Even though it does actually fit me, I swear! It's like they're mocking me.

February fun times!


So the weekend after my date with Dita I'm hitting the Rocky Horror Show night in the Sugar Club for Valentine's Day with Himself. For someone who's never been to a burlesque show of any description I'm really packing it all in this February! And once you've RSVPeed it on Facebook, there's no going back! Hooray!

Yes? do you want something?

So my other boss was just standing over my shoulder there for about a full min which is a long time when your trying to act natural!

Ok from the beginning, he just started looking first around my desk for purchase orders then when he had a fumble with that he just seemed to hover (sp?) around the desk. wasn't really sure what he was looking for but it was so annoying. Do you remember when teachers used to do that? Stand over you when you're trying to concentrate on an exam or when you're writing an essay or something. Like would you fuck off away from me, if you want something ASK! jesus!

Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he is banned from the city of Chichester


It's the Stig!

"The man known only as The Stig is reported to be 33-year-old former racing stuntman Ben Collins.
The last Stig to reveal his identity was unceremoniously dumped from the motoring show, but it's not yet clear what will happen to Ben."

Thoughts?

Bainbridge. I SO would.


I love Matt Berry.

Lately he is seriously giving Alan Rickman a run for his money on my favourite voices list. You know who I mean, he's Douglas Reynholm in The IT Crowd, Dixon Bainbridge in The Mighty Boosh and Dr Sanchez in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (which I've only seen in bits and pieces on YouChoob - but it looks deadly). Now he's the voice of the "Bring on the trumpets!" bear sweetie in The Natural Confectionary Co. ads, (Thank FOOK they ditched that whole Aussie daddy/daughter angle and went with unreasonable talking sweets. Much better) and this one too...



Genius. And oh mo Dhia, that voice does things to me even though it's a jelly dinosaur. They've never been more attractive. He had a sketch show with Rich Fulcher (Bob Fossil) a few years ago on BBC3 called Snuff Box, and it's effing hilarious. Just put it into the search bar on YouTube and all manner of brilliant sketches will be yours to peruse. Such as these, the 'Boyfriend" sketches. FUCK YOU!



His IMDb page says he used to work as an actor in The London Dungeon in the early 2000s, Christ if he was still there I'd have to be dragged out of the place. He must have been a judge or something of that nature in it. Oooh yes please m'lud. As it is, I'm a total sucker for comedians (I might have texted Ray Darcy's show to tell Glenn Wool I'd have his babies. He said so long as I was over 18 and mentally stable to sit at the front of his next gig...) and the more I look at him (and hear him), the more I think: MIAOW!
