oh dear.
I've discovered the joys of ubiquitious cream-in-a-can. Great on coffee. And am sure there is no dairy or actual food in it - the label says 99% cholesterol free, not sure what it's made from - foaming polystrene and sugar perhaps?

Got stood up this morning by a radio journalist, ah well wasn't really awake enough to be coherent anyway.

In a tangentially related interesting development on the personal front, I seem to have inadvertently become aloof and mysterious, and it's working!

Finally had my Sandra fix - was waiting to get thru all my european region dvd's before switching back to au, if anyone knows another program to use for laptop dvd players, I've only got two region code changes left - how are you meant to be nomadic and watch movies?
Anyway, the wonderful Audrey has not only booked me an appointment with her hairdresser next week before the winter ball; but is also my dvd fairy godmother, keeping me supplied with new trashy comedy flicks every few days. Had the joy of Sandra in 'two weeks notice' with Hugh Grant playing his one foppish yet sensitive character, while she struggles to maintain integrity and independence - something about her face is just so watchable, incredibly beautiful from some angles, and reassuringly ordinary from others - and so sweet and goodnatured. But not cloying or annoying.

So this is really just a filler post, to get some of the noise out of my head before I catch the train to bratislava and then vienna in the morning. A flying visit to check out the January sales at H&m, C&A and other european chain store delights, due to my drastically increased solvency - thanks smartyhost, thanks mum for putting it in the bank! - but it's ok, I have a very strict budget as it's not cleared yet, the card on my other account is out of date, and I forgot to transfer more cash in time. C&A has a fab looking rita hayworth range - give me strength.
My ultimate dream look of all time is 30's Parisian Cabaret Artiste mixed with Katherine Hepburn and a dash of Rita H as Gilda.

Just have to shout out to the joyous 'danubius' radio station, which so far this morning has brought me 'let's get the party started', 'eye of the tiger' and 'jenny from the block'. golden.
