Pitiful ramblings. Cheese.

[pensnest]

There is cheese in my kitchen, but I think it doesn't intend to stay there. It's called Epoisses, it's an 'appellation controlee' cheese (!) and it's alive...

My Beast had better eat it soon, is all.

Well. We took Bun to her flat in Bristol yesterday. It's palatial and sordid, which is probably quite good as most student lodgings are just sordid. It's also in what looks a very pretty residential area, reminded me a bit of where I used to live in Chiswick, so, quite reassuring to the parental heart. Her shiny, *bright* yellow bedroom is bigger than our bedroom here, and - once we'd replaced the broken slats in the bed, shoved a plank under the wardrobe so that the doors stay closed, and got rid of the fishing net, paddle, unwanted keyboards, scanner and bag of polystyrene peanuts - quite nice. Pampered brat was supplied with new bedlinen and duvet (well, it's a double, you see, obviously a mere single duvet would be unacceptable) and a router so that when she gets the internet connection organised, there's a way for the four of them to share it. So spoilt, really. Oh well. It's nice to buy her stuff. On a more practical level, I managed to get the toilet clean, and have supplied a How To Clean The Bathroom list. Wonder whether she's lost it yet.

Boy and I have just finished the DVDs of Veronica Mars, season 2. Hmm. Not as coherent as the first season, or as satisfying, but so prettily shot, it's just gorgeous. Now I have West Wing 7, and (gibber) three seasons of the totally-addictive-so-I'm-staying-away-from-it 24. Hmm. Well, not so many more Thursday rehearsals for me, now. Then again, I really need to work on what I'm going to do with the next show.

Am starting to ramble pitifully now. Will stop.

I hate when good cheese goes bad! And your journal layout looks great!

[pensnest]

Oh, it's good cheese, it's just... very, um, present, if you know what I mean.

The layout's gorgeous, isn't it! turloughishere made it for me.

Those kinds of cheese are scary! The best place to keep them is really outdoors somewhere. Preferably far from human habitation :-)

That was an umh... eclectic mix of things you removed from Bun's room. I wonder what kind of person lived there before!

[pensnest]

Heh - perhaps I should lend the cheese to quiet000001 to help with her mouse problem.

Eclectic, a good word. The person who lived there before was... a student. This probably explains everything except the polystyrene peanuts.

I fear the cheese.

Also, I'm not sure overwhelming them with stentch would be humane. *ponders*

Would it be too much trouble to hold off another day in collecting The Object? Neither my dad or I are feeling particularly well (he seems to be coming down with whatever it is I've had) and I think another day of rest might do us both good.

(If you're impatient for it, I understand, it's just I think we're more likely to be feeling social tomorrow, and I'd like to be able to be social rather than just grunt and thrust a collection of hardware bits at you. :) )

[pensnest]

No problem. I think Himself is going to be spending much of the day raiding anyway, so applying Object to screen would have to wait. I'll see you tomorrow, probably midday-ish after my eye test, if that works for you.

Sounds good. :) Just remember to bring along a mobile and my landline number, in case we haven't sorted out the doorbell yet.

(Being a wireless doorbell, the bit with the button has wandered off someplace an is being Difficult to find.)

Cheese is good!

The flat sounds very nice, and I'm sure it will be a great place to live.
A fishing net? Wonder what the purpose in that was. If it was I, I'd use it as a hanging storage area, but you never can tell. :)

[pensnest]

I'd have been pretty happy with the flat if I'd had to live in it when I was a student, I think. As for the fishing net, it's one of those little netlets on a bamboo(ish) pole, so more useful for reaching down from the semi-accessible balcony to swipe the hats from passers-by (which I have forbidden!) than for storage. Heaven knows what the previous generation of student flat-dwellers did with it.

[bellamyrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, one of those kind of fishing nets.

I'm not a college student, and have never been, but I'm sure that there was probably something useful that it was used for, like snatching hats from pedestrians. lol

|J and I went to A&H's for dinner on Monday, and as we were leaving J slipped Alex the first disc of the [number goes here] season, much to Heather's dismay :D

And happy new hoe to the Bun - it sounds as though you've got her well settled.

[pensnest]

24 - the new drug.

I just hope Bun will remember that she has to work...
