The days are growing shorter and colder (and we haven’t even fallen back yet) and my body and brain threaten to slip into hibernation mode. Currently I’m curled up on a couch with a blanket, and one of the cats keeping my feet warm. But I’ve been forcing myself to keep on top of the day to day tedium. This week I managed to get the recycling and trash out on time, keep the kitchen tidy after making various vegan comfort foods, get loads of laundry washed, and to get the boy to complete his new and more difficult homework assignments. The only thing he likes less? Visiting the doctor. But tomorrow I need to take him in for his annual physical. There will be shots involved. Ooh boy, will that ever be good times.
Five actual good things:
- This evening I veganized a delicious version of this simple brussels sprouts salad.
- Farmer grows pumpkins with human faces. Freeeeeeeeaky! But fascinating.
- Pee-wee Herman Rides Again: After carrying tabloid baggage for 18 years, Paul Reubens is back in the saddle–and in the Playhouse. Ready for a big adventure, boys and girls? Oh yes, yes I am.
- Making Fiends is spruced up for Halloween.
- I’m a sucker for nifty workspaces, considering most of us spend a good chunk of our waking hours in them.
I don’t follow many celebrities on twitter. I tend to stick with people I know in the real world. But couldn’t resist the mighty triumvirate of my favorite Spaced alum - Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost. Witnessing their conversations unfold with one another can be highly entertaining. And often informative. For instance, from Edgar Wright: I’m a special guest at BUG: The Evil-ution of Music Video – Halloween Horror Special! That would make for a seriously fun All Hallows Eve. If I could get to the BFI Southbank in London.
