Another grey wet monday - isn't this supposed to be at least *Spring*?

Anyway, the weekend was great!

thesme_01's not-surprise-party went very well, tho it did get worryingly Hoff-centric at times, particularly when she printed out PICTURES to share, leading to someone (nash?) yelling "Don't Bogart The Hoff!", which is now my new favourite phrase you never think you'll hear.
We did discover tho, after I very cleverly stood on glass and grabbed the nearest one to stem the flow (once I'd actually *noticed* I was bleeding profusely), that the one thing more disturbing than the Naked-Hoff-With-Puppies picture, is a Naked-Hoff-With-Puppies-Picture-Covered-In-Blood [1].
Other highlights included dancing, the endless movie game, more dancing, huge platefuls of pavlova and taking turns to give Thesme a Birthday Lapdance (I suspect my extreme pleasure at her embarrasment and cackling of "hahaha revenge is Sweet!" may have led to the Standing On Glass. Karma can be a bitch ;p). And of course drunkenly rambling at each other after everyone had gone, before crawling to bed sometime around 6ish.

Spent saturday very gradually making my way home, stopping off to visit various other friends, being fed and even being allowed to watch Dr. Who. Which wasn't the best episode really, but still! Made it to Ruthie's just in time to read Cora a bedtime story too, which was sweet.

Sunday was spent in a leisurely fashion with family, helping the BiL with the babies while Mum and Karen escaped to go shopping. Also getting to hear Aoife say her first proper word (quack, for the record).
And that's about it really.

[1]There were threats the next day to scan in the Blood Hoff for your viewing pleasure, but I see that hasn't come to pass. Yet.

Is today dragging for anyone else? It's going soooo slowly here!

So, here are links that tickled me today ;p

1. Alice Cooper gets given freedom of a town called Alice (but not one in a desert in Australia alas ;p)

2. Not the story itself this time - Bob Marley's bassist loses case to get royalties - but this summing from the judge - "At this remove of time, his recollection of events was hazy."... yeah. Probably not HALF as hazy as it was at the time tho ;p

3. Go uncle Davey! David Ervine mixes it up at Stormont by joining up with the UUp. Still, it'll give them all something to talk about while they sit there playing Assembly (they get to vote on Issues, but it doesn't count for anything! Hurrah!)

which leads us nicely to...

4. Best Film Idea EVAR? IRA zombies How cool would that film be? And how wrong is it that the first thing I thought of was would Hunger Striker Zombies actually want to eat brains? Or would they just sit about going Riiiiiiiiights Riiiiiiiiiights?

Also am I a bad person because the idea of a Bobby Sands Zombie has had me sniggering all day?

Damnit, now I have 'Would you eat paisley's brains, bobby sands?' stuck in my head (to the tune of "she'll be coming round the mountain").
