Oh, James. How I Love Thee!

In an attempt to beat my S.A.D. I am going to keep a 'Positive Thoughts Only' diary. Whilst I admit that I have had some pretty gloomy thoughts today, and actually at one point wanted to mutilate my boss for going off on one of his 'meetings' in the pub that last two hours and result in me doing all the work, I have had some thoughts at the opposite end of the spectrum:

Firstly, I've recently discovered flickr.com and today rekindled my love of the younger James Spader. Although he has broadened slightly in his more mature years I would have to say that Secretary was one of the sexiest, and most beautiful, films I have ever seen. Big up Maggie Gylenhaal (spelt wrong I'm sure) also.

Secondly, I've remembered just how delicious aubergines are. Roasted, smushed, in salads, as dip. And I love their colour and find the shape rather aesthetically pleasing.

Thirdly, my bitter resistance to traditional wedding lists (I REFUSE to buy anyone cutlery, crockery or any other household item I know they don't really need and can f*cking well afford to buy themselves) seems not to be that unusual. I'm so happy to see that for some couples, as for L and I, a wedding is about the people not the presents. If you're going to have a wedding list make it for something charitable/fun instead.

Fourthly, mini victoria sponges are genius. Hmmm seems to be a food theme here!

Fifthly, my new, extra-long, extra-soft and fluffy scarf is perfect for these crisp autumnal mornings. Seems to leave little fluffy deposits all over me though. Ooops forget that bit as negative..unless little fluffy deposits turn you on??!!
