Current reason for lack of blogging (choose one):
A. Nothing to say
B. Too busy
C. Can't be bothered
D. Computer is being, ummmm, shall we say, difficult and uncooperative?
I hope you chose D.
I have plenty to say, I'm not too busy and I really am bothered.
BUT MY BLOODY COMPUTER IS BEING A PAIN THE ARSE AND WILL SHORTLY BECOME A BOAT ANCHOR IF IT DOESN'T SPEED UP A BIT.
Sorry. Didn't mean to shout. Its just very frustrating.
So far this evening, it has taken me ten minutes to log in to Blogger (and don't start me on those "would you like to upgrade to super duper new Blogger?" messages) and its now struggling to keep up with what I'm typing. I'm a pretty fast typist, but my computer is being so ridiculously sluggish that I'm almost an entire line ahead of it.
So get a new computer, I hear you say. Well, yes. That would be ideal. I would love a new computer. I just can't afford a new computer. I can barely afford my rent at the moment with all the unexpected bills which have been jumping in my path.
Alternatively, you helpfully suggest, you could blog at work. Well, yes, I could do that, but my boss has clamped down on "non-work-related-internet-usage". I had the worst time on Thursday trying to convince her that the arts section of the SMH online is work-related because we work in the arts. She was having NONE of it and is tracking each of us in our daily internet usage. Evil, much.
Ah well. Mustn't grumble. Despite my theatre company going tits-up, I am rehearsing for a play which will be on in April. Three of the same people I did the Sam Shepard play with last year. Except this time I will have my face to the audience, I won't have to eat turkey and I will be switching my down-home-Southern accent for an upper-crust-British one. Splendid. Jolly good. Lashings and lashings of ginger beer and all that.
AND...
My episode of Ready Steady Cook has been given an airdate of Wednesday 14 March. Feel free to set your VCR. Or recordable DVD if you are technologically advanced like that. And if you are one of those highly technologisised* folk, please feel free to donate to the "replace the boat anchor" fund.
I'm taking bets on how long this will take to publish. Since it took ten minutes to load a blank page I'm guessing about fifteen.
Grrrr.
* I have no idea if that is a real word. Sounds good though, doesn't it?

I'm at work, but before I left the house this morning, I set the VCR to tape Ready Steady Cook from 2pm to 3pm, so hopefully I'll be able to watch it tonight!
Oooh! Excitement!
Maybe during the breaks I'll see Travis Cotton's Foxtel ads and my brother's ads for 3 phones!
I'm altogether too giddy.
Soooo....??
I've yet to watch it. I need to do it when no one is home so if I embarrass myself they can't see it.
HOTTT!!
On a TOTALLY UNRELATED MATTER, I may just happen to review said show on my TV blog in the coming days/weeks (depending on time).
I'm sure it will have NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO with the fact that a certain HOTTTY beat the metaphorical PANTS off her limelight-stealing actor "friend" in yesterday's episode ... NOTHING WHATSOEVER WHATSOEVER! ... but I just feel suitably motivated to review the show.
You know, ... a totally RANDOM one that I may just have on tape.
So that I can, ... you know, ... review it.
Anyway, here's my advice to you:
Yes, you'd best watch it at home when you're alone. You don't want your two female housemates to draw the same conclusions the rest of Australia drew about your sexual attraction to them, courtesy of Peter Everett's innuendo ... and your transparent attempts to claim that there was a "boyfriend" for whom you regularly cook beef.
Boyfriend indeed!
Plus, how often does AR have to drop references to this elusive "boyfriend" of yours before you succumb to his hints and advances and join him at the hotel afterwards for drinks and some very adult-themed, ponytail-gripping madness?
It'll all be in my review.
Hurrah! A review!
I have to say, given this morning's activities... if Howard Donald had taken up chef-ing during Take That's downtime instead of DJ-ing, and ended up as my celeb chef on RSC, I would definitely have succumbed to his advances.
Mmmmmmmm. Yes. Indeedy.
Sorry. That comment really did not address any of the issues raised in your comment.
I was just verbalising one of the many fantasies I'm currently experiencing about Howie.
Tragic.
i'm really annoyed. i missed it.
youtube?
please?
Now there's an idea! I just have to figure out how to do it...
Don't worry, MG - my review will make you FEEL as though you're watching it.
[relaxes and waits]
It's up on my TV blog now, MG (incidentally).
