Live Blogging: Kent Street
Kent Street rocks.. not just because of the jaffles (tho the jaffles are reallly good); not just because of the beer (the beers are reallly good); not just because of the wasabi peas; (really really good) not just because of the Space Invaders game table we have rested our iBooks on - but mostly because we can order at PekoPeko from next door and they will bring us our food to eat here at Kent Street. Not *only* will they bring it, when I went to order it, the girl there said "I wondered when you'd be over." and the beer - did I mention the beer? Kent Street is good cos of the beer. And the free wireless. And the beer.
So here we are - the usual suspects - listening to the DJ's eclectic music, waiting for our Japanese food to be delivered from next door, drinking beer, and trying to not lose all will to live during work hours talk about work. I'm drinking beer, and using Fox's laptop. so may very well elaborate on that theme.
I just told Willo I am "live blogging from Kent Street, letting the internets know what and when everything happens here tonight" and he asked if I'd just typed that, and I said I hadn't and he said "Why not??" and I had to admit I am a very slow typer and was still talking about the beer at Kent Street and then Fox came back from upstairs and he told her the news that I was "Blogging from Kent Street" but that I was "slow and hadn't blogged that he'd asked if I'd blogged that" and she said "What??" and so he said "Mish is blogging from Kent Street and she hadn't blogged that I'd asked 'did you blog that?'" and she rolled her eyes and then Willo said "And my next cookies.." with a rather large arm flourish "..will be ANZACS!" because he's been baking cookies lately and Fox asked "What about peanut butter??" and willo said "oooooooooo my mum's got a great recipe for peanut butter cookies!" and Fox said"With macadamias?" and willo said"No, with peanuts."
and then he said "That was a mega-ywan" cos Fox had just yawned and he asked me "Did you blog *that*??" and I said "NO COS I WAS BLOGGING ABOUT THE COOKIES!!!1!" and HE rolled his eyes and said "That's not Live blogging, that's Ten Seconds Ago blogging."
I need another beer and bam.. our food arrived. more soon. nom nom nom....

So dinner was great - I had kingfish and wasabi mayonnaise and willo had curried chicken don and Fox had miso soup cos she wasn't all that hungry.
Trams are tramming past, and music is music'ing on - Fox is reading the interwebs and Willo is finishing is curried chicken don. Emma, the lovely hostestsis pulling up a stool just outside the door to smoke a cigarette. Tomorrow is Friday. Last day of the week. Then it's the weekend. Fox and I have a couple of easy things to do this weekend - the most anticipated being the collection of our Holga photos. not that we took photos of Holgas, but rather that we took photos with our Holgas.
Tomorrow is also the last day of February, and a leap year 29th. This day is supposed to be the day that women can ask men to marry them. It is also the day for "a day in the life" a photographic project that Tracey from sh1ft.org has proposed (heh). the gist is to take a photo every hour of the day to chronicle a day in your life. I'm doing it - I hope to take at least one photo of a senior member of staff having intimate chats at work - you can tell when she's doing it cos no one ever looks at Excel with such a whistful smile, giggling softly to themselves while licking their lips which sounds entirely more alluring than it actually *is*. I may not succeed in my task, but I'll give it a go so you can see how highly paid directors abuse their positions given half a chance and an internet connection.
I'm playing scrabulous on Facebook too - what the hell kind of words can I make from LSCIIVG?? far OUT>]!!
