Le Bloke has a theory that the further we move towards the Meadowhall end of the city, the uglier people get. I think he might be right.
Well, I was there today and
my goodness
there were some unattractive people. (Granted, part of it is a residual sense of 'my God, you're all so pasty and sick-looking!' at the fact that 90% of them are white. But that's not the whole story. No indeed.)
On the subject of Meadowhall, though - have you seen the Big Gay Pirate Movie yet? (Or
Over the Hedge,
the trailer for which [on the
Madagascar
DVD, iirc] utterly won me over because of William Shatner in full scenery-chewing mode - both The Flatmate and I gasped very audibly when he appeared on the trailer, in a total OMGWTFCaptainKirk!!!!! kinda way.) If you're all moved and stuff, we could maybe do dinner and a movie? Er. In a non-porny way.
Meanwhile, did you know that Geoffrey Chaucer wrote Harry Potter?
On a related note, these t shirts are VERY tempting. I am especially fond of 'All Your Aquitaine Are Belong To Us' and 'I wolde I knewe how of thee I might be quitten

No indeed I have not! Ima promised to some archaeologists that I'll go with them at some point, but I certainly don't see there being any problem with seeing it twice. Or three or four times, mayhap. In any case, the porny way is just fine.
Also, did you know there's some kind of comic book/SF thingy on in the town tomorrow?

I'm trying to decide whether to dress up tonight. The kids are having a dance, and instructors are encouraged to at least stop by for a little while. I'm going to, because it's always fun, and it's hysterical to watch the girls try to be all sophisticated and grown-up while the boys do things like try to see who can drink the most disgusting concoction of fruit punch and crumbled chips. Anyway, the theme is "decades" -- pretty much, dress in something from some decade other than the current one. Fifties and sixties are always popular. Only problem is, I have nothing terribly retro-looking here with me. I could do some sort of fifties thing with jeans and a white t-shirt, but that's kind of boring. Any suggestions?
The last line of the Chaucer HP killed me completely ded.

A side ponytail, some serious blush and eye shadow and you can look eighties no matter what else you wear.
NO! No I did not!
Aha! Well, neither did I until last night. Le Bloke picked up at a flyer at a comic book shop. I'm not sure on the details, but yeah, comic book and SF thingy.
Ooh, wait, he just came on msn. I shall garner details.

Is it this?

Good idea, but I don't have any makeup here.
Rolling up the cuffs of my jeans to make them into pedal-pushers, plus white t-shirt and high ponytail, with Converse, seems to work for impromptu fifties, I think. (Why did I forget to bring a tie-dye shirt? They have theme days every year, and a tie-dye shirt is always useful for at least one of those.)
