Weekends, they don’t come better than this.
Where shall I start?
Well, here I am, in Manuel’s room, a very happy guest for the weekend with a very good friend. I’m listening to Tori Amos, moaning away, and while Manuel doesn’t like her, he let me download her .mp3s into his PC and play them. It was 10 a.m. …

The Great Escape
Marco’s Birthday
Woke up at half past six this morning just to go room-hunting. Didn’t go far. Just seeing the German-speaking competition withered me. Ga.
Had an interesting email from LT today, her first since I came her. Verbally banging me with such vigour I’ve not seen since our university days (still applies to me, I suppose). Told me …
Yo-Yo
Today has been a complete yo-yo.

A.I. — Affection Inherent
Finally watched A.I. today. Enjoyed it despite poor reviews from Monkey Boy or the girls. To be fair, they did say they would have enjoyed it if it had ended the way it seemed to have, instead of going on.
That pseudo-ending, I agree, with the kid robot in the ship under the sea, waiting for an …
Drawing Girls
Tonight was the last night the girls are in Munich before they leave for Prague and Amsterdam, together with Monkey Boy. I invited them and the rest of the Family to dinner.
Feeling adventurous after my massive cookout during International Nite weeks before, I cooked them nasi lemak (coconut milk rice) and Szechuan spicy chicken with …
