Highlight: The kids got a karaoke video camera unit thingy, we plugged it in and they did passable versions of "HotHotHot" and "YMCA".
Amber took the mic for "Girlfriend" by N-Sync. I didn't know the song, let alone Amber, but she read the lyrics in a flat loud monotone in pure classic Drimble Wedge and the Vegetations style (See: Peter Cook in Bedazzled) but much much better lyrics for it..
"He does not love you.He will never love you.."
(we were all crying but thankfully Amber did't notice or wasn;t bothered)

In the middle of the night Is he gonna be by your side? Or will he run and hide? You don't know cause things ain't clear And baby when you cry Is he gonna stand by your side? Does the man even know you're alive?

Happy new year! Happy New ILX (though I've not seen it yet - please can it be the old trad interface, I resist change) and happy new crush!
I am deeply ashamed of my new crush so I am not ready to speak of it yet though I think everyone knows.
Hurrah! I had a good xmas. My mum and I managed not to even fight. Well, not properly at least. We didn't go to Herts in the end, so we stayed home and ate a fry-up for our Xmas meal. No leftovers and the washing up done by 3pm.
A a nice New Year - my mum decided at the last minute that she didn't want to go to Poptimism, she wanted to stay home and watch more Doctor Who because she has a massive crush on C. Ecclestone. And then we watched some Austen and argued over who was cuter, Colonel Brandon or Mr. Darcy.

Hey kate. Does anyone know where that musical water sculpture is?

Clearly.

Next day was a catch-up 'christmas day' with my mum/sister, and the karaoke hilarity mentioned upthread.
Oh, and Alice got a kiddie type guitar. Which actually had real strings and a small amp, and was light enough for her to do guitar superhero poses as she does. (the Fender Mustang's a bit heavy). The only downer being it doesn't stay in tune long.

I heard about it on radio4 a while back and I want to try and make use of this car to go and see it possibly on saturday if they let me out of belgium.
― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 11:04 (seventeen years ago) link
Oh yes! Walking on Sunday! Count me in! I will email you my mum's email address - though her house sitter rang me in a panic last night and told me the boiler had exploded or something strange. Though the phone kept cutting out argh.

Too bad it doesn't stay in tune. That's a bit rub.

The services? Woodhall or Trowell are better, if you ask me.

Now I know why. Tis rub.

Fancying actors is always gonna land you into trouble for exactly that reason. Watching old Doctor Who last night reminded me how hott Romana is/was. I rushed to the internet to find out about her and pics and stuff, then hauled myself back at the last minute, knowing that it's all self-destructive and I'd end up feeding the crush rather than sating it. Fancying Doctor Who assistants is the first step in a direction I really don't wanna go.
Hi emsk! Are you back to your bouncy self?

Sorry you've been poorly, Emsk. When you are recovered, you must come round and eat some curry, which will cure everything. Until then, ginger tea for you.
