Great icon, Daniel!

Love the icon!

Grrr. I tried to go to sleep. Really I did. And I"m still awake. This is very unusual for me. More often it's "I tried to go to sleep, and I did, and now I can't wake up"

Harumph.

Back home now. A/C land so much better. Tried to see a movie at the theaters, but the lines were ridiculous! It's like EVERYONE had the day off, and NOBODY had A/C! What's up with that? ;)

We ended up watching some DVD's. Finally saw 300. Boy, i think that's the closest thing to gay porn I've ever seen! Lots of eye candy for both sides! On the whole, a good flick.

And since the ladies are talking apparel, I did take advantage of LDW sale, and went to Old Navy and got 4 polo shirts for $30. Alas, they didn't have any cargo pants that I liked, which is what I went in for.

That's funny, I hit Old Navy on Sunday and picked up two pairs of cargo shorts, a couple of shirts, and a pair of cargo pants.

copy cat... following my o so trendy fashion choices ;-)

Fabulous icon, Daniel! Is it gankable?

Yes, I enjoyed it too. I think the comic book is better, mind you - and no, not just because the Spartans are wearing nothing but sweat in the book, honestly - and isn't it hilarious, seeing the Spartans interacting with the other Greeks, incidentally?

Other Greeks: We are hard! We have armour and swords and things!

Spartans: We are so fucking hard we need no armour but our manly sweat and baby oil! RAAAAAR!

Everyone else: Fuck! Run away! Run away!

...anyway, yes - I did enjoy it, but I was distracted quite a lot by Daisy Wenham putting on an accent and being all Hard!Soldier!Bloke!...when we all know he's called Daisy. Blessity bless bless. And I'm fond of Gerard Butler - he is a wee scone. In this case a wee scone going "Do not fuck with me, motherfuckers! Raaar!" but a wee scone nevertheless. A far cry from playing the Opera Ghost, eh? Go Team Musical Scotsman!

The one change I wish they hadn't made from the book is in cranking up the Weird!Freaky!Monster! stuff. There was no need, imho - I'd have preferred it to stay historical, rather than get bogged down in Faux Orientalist Lord Of The Rings stuff.

But - swords and hot nearly-naked men - that was all fun.

In FayWorld, I have finished a day's work and a meeting, and gone and given a tutorial, and now I'm home and chilling with a bacon'n'creamcheese'n'mango chutney sandwich and some salsa and tortilla chips.

Mmmmmmm.

I am only half way through my work day and contemplating lunch.

And now I want chips and salsa. Or maybe just chips. Proper chips, with loads of salt and curry sauce. Mmm.

Mmmm proper chips.

But! Waitrose Mango Chutney!

!!!!

One of our supermarket has a deal with Waitrose, and they stock a small range of Waitrose products! This is very exciting, for it is Genuine Stuff From Home.

(...there may be some inherent unlikelihood in being in Asia, and getting excited about Mango Chutney as nostalgic comfort food from home, but I choose to ignore it. La la la.)

So long as I can get proper tea with proper milk in it, then I'm happy.

But Waitrose stuff! How nice! Kind of like the exotic food section in Tescos over here, but, not.
