All Things But None

Not mine, but the title of the Peugeot commercial that's near the end of the post. These days I feel 'inadequate' when I don't autoplay a piece of music along with a post. ahaha. Joking. La Breeze is a fun track, it must be cuz if Brian Eno and Ladytron took their time to revamp it, it must be good eh? Tho Eno's version sounded like Richard David James had reconstructed it!? Somewhat. As loud as this track is, I'm sure it's driving readers crazy n' away. *shrug*

I took yesterday and today off work. A tub guy was here yesterday to reglaze/refurface our existing tub. He'll be finishing up today. Saw some 'plumber's crack' yesterday, neither good or bad. 2 consecutive days off from work while staying home, seems like a very long time... while you're stuck in front of the 'puter anyway. Not complaining. Tho I did work on a presentation for work. 'em clients are driving me mad - sometimes. I'm thinking that's part of their job.

So what is happening with my life? No one knows this [well, bloggers anyway!] but I've taken up cooking since late last year. Prior to that Alec and I would have dinners from boxes, cans, hydrated packages, take-outs and what not. I would make fish and meat dishes every now and then, but nothing fancy. Oright and spaghetti's and hot dogs enough times. These days I try to make some unique sauces, buying lotza fresh and different types of veggies, using various techniques and condiments to liven up the dishes. Friends and I discovered this store named Surfas near us and it's amazing. Pretty much anything you want in cooking, all there in one store. For me, it's gotten to be an addiction. I've also bought books and videos online. Last night I watched a "How To" video on souffles. Haven't started making desserts yet, but it's oh-so amazing to watch. 'nuff of me babbling on food.

Tonight I'm gonna go see one of my fave surrealists work on display - René Magritte. He ranks No. 2 on my list, and No. 1 being Jean Cocteau, and I have a tat to prove it, too. I posted an entry about Magritte back in 2003. I think one would find it quite clever if you're familiar with his work [not that I personally wrote the piece!].

What else. Oright, even tho the gents from Simian are no longer together, right before they parted a marketing firm and Peugeot had launched a commercial using this particular song. I think they did a pretty awesome job don't you think? I swore they must've used one of the animators from TokyoPlastic!!

Lastly, a couple of wonderful bloggers [but hey, everyone's wonderful right?] like Lola and Jay had recently sent me some really nice personal gifts via snail mail. I'm elated! Thanks guys. Email in progress, I promise! (-:

May you all have a good month of March.
