Discovering
(Or rediscovering) Hamlet - Nicki Greenberg's beautiful new version, thanks to the fabulous Snarkattack, who invited me along to see Nicki talk about the creative process behind the book.
Eating
- An enormous serve of bangers'n'mash and a nourishing pint of Kilkenny at the Town Hall one dismal Tuesday evening.
- A "Chachi" - chianina meatball sandwich - another brioche donut and some amazing chocolate tart at Beatrix, which Essjay has reviewed.
- A lazy Sunday lunch at The Crimean. The Polish hunter's stew (bigos) was just the thing to revive me after a chilly bike ride.
- Generous piles of fried food with oodles of chillies and sichuan peppercorns at Sichuan House
- Succulent suckling pig at Liberteene.
- An array of bright, zesty flavours at Chin Chin, where the only problem was having to choose only some of the items from what looks to be a menu that is all hits, no filler.
ROFL!

The highlight of that was the interview with the current Mayor of Wasilla and her trying to prove badly that being in that job does qualify you to be Vice President.
What are we going to do for entertainment after next Thurs when Sarah Palin will fade away?
I’m still too superstitious to think about “life after Sarah” yet, RR! Anyway, we’ll still have Tina (and the new series of 30 Rock, yay).
Yeah, Outsider, I’ve seen some of the train wrecks caused by meth, but Palin’s career is the most bizarre result yet.
