Feb. 13th, 2004 10:10 amyesterday evening, I appear to have become victim to Munchausen's Caffeine Withdrawal by Proxy, and felt really wierd and spaced out. I took myself off for a hot bath, complete with orange and ginger oil, and Morality for Beautiful Girls, no.3 in the fabulous Alexander McCall Smith series about Precious Ramotswe, the proprietor of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency - if you haven't read them, then do ... they're utterly wonderful.
suitably revived, we pottered down to the kitchen and constructed some comfort food, in the form of corned beef hash, which we ate while watching this week's Faking It; whyever did that silly Xian bint agree to do the programme, FFS? I don't know which character I disliked more, Laura Jane the prissy Christian, who equated having her hair cut with losing her virginity (and both are still intact), or Harry, the "look at me I'm a rock chick" rock chick. The only redeeming feature was the wonderful Nikki Lambourne from Never the Bride, who has the most fabulous raunchy voice, and is one of the few women who can actually get away with singing Janis Joplin tracks without sounding ridiculous.
we then retired to bed to watch Question Time, featuring the mad Anne Widdecombe, who wouldn't shut up at all, Roy Hattersley reminding us all what Labour used to be, a raddled Shirley Conran, Lembit Opik as the LibDem, and an irritating twat called Toby Young. As Lord H said, before TY appears on the programme again, it might be a good idea if he read some newspapers.
