i got some more new zines for the distro the other day. i'll probably be updating the website properly at the weekend or something. try to catch up on descriptions. oops.

for some reason i haven't got anything else to say. i've got letters to finish and carl ate my almond croissant this morning. boo.

"THE MASSES ARE ASSES" L7

MUGGLE POST

this is a letter i posted yesterday. i do hope it has enough stamps. not telling who it's for though. that'd be telling & spoiling a surprise.

SUNDAY DINNER / BRUNCH.

today i have been both a success and a massive failure when it comes to cooking. i'll start with the failure. i made baked potatoes with ratatouille & feta cheese for dinner, but unfortunately i sort of didn't cook the potatoes properly. i don't think i ever have! this is why i tried to get carl to check them for me but i guess he's got too much faith in my potato baking abilities. still ate some of it though..

& then on to my success;

sunday brunch, originally uploaded by Tukru Loves You.

yesterday, i was in a spot of bother foodwise, because i had had a whole aubergine chopped up in a tub for a couple of days, and i thought i'd better use it up asap. so carl told me to just google "aubergine recipes", and i found a load of them on bbc good food website. the one we ended up with was fast feta & aubergine pizzas, which i made for lunch. which was fucking lush. though i did end up changing the recipe a bit. instead of using roasted aubergines from a jar, i got carl to roast them in some oil while i was still walking home from the shops. the silly boy didn't roast all of them though, so i roasted some more this morning/afternoon and had the same thing for my breakfast / lunch / brunch. it is definitely going in my cooking zine. and so is our dinner from last night, spiced vegetable biryani, with some added notes.

GIRLS LIKE DRESSES PART TWO

yesterday after i'd been to the post office and confused their staff with my weirdo post, i went and tried on some stuff at tk maxx on my way to buy dinner and home.

tulip dress, originally uploaded by Tukru Loves You.

i just love the shape of tulip dresses, but i guess there is no better way to make yourself feel fat and ugly than try on pretty dresses and not fit in them. this one was a LARGE and i pretty much would need to cover my hips in lard to slip it on properly. above waist, great. below waist.. no. sigh. it was pretty but to be honest, i wasn't going to buy it anyway. just trying shit on for fun fun fun.

criminal damage dress, originally uploaded by Tukru Loves You.

i rather liked the print on this criminal damage dress, but i wasn't going to buy it either. i wouldn't ever actually wear it, except maybe out partying etc. and i never go out so whats the point? especially when you don't have wads of spare cash to blow on pretty, but ultimately useless things.

i thought i might as well take a 'proper' picture of the dress i was wearing too. 'lace ditsy dress' according to the tag. bloody love it.

GIRLS LIKE DRESSES.

i bought two pretty new dresses from new look yesterday on my way home and i reckon i'll be wearing them a lot! wearing the blue floral one now. i even washed my hair, just for the dress. i'd take pictures but my good tripod is still at carl's parents (i left it there by accident at christmas and since carl's dad's been stuck at the hospital, i haven't got it back yet. but fear not, he's getting better. he had surgery wednesday and he's on the mend, hopefully he should be home by the end of the month and i'll make him that lasagne i promised. i haven't really written about it because.. well, it's none of my business (he's not my dad) and i haven't really known what's going on because no one wants to talk about it. which is fair enough. but yeah, on the mend! exciting) and carl takes ugly pictures of me. i've got another tripod somewhere behind the telly, but i'm not sure if i'll manage to get it out. there isn't anywhere you can really take a picture in a cramped wee flat anyway.. i did post some less flattering pictures of them i found on the website on my tumblr.. they suit me better than they suit the model. weird, that. there was actually a third dress i almost got too, but it didn't have sleeves and it was £15 instead of £12. i think two is enough, right? we'll see if it's still there in a couple of days in my size.

oh fuck it, i don't need boys and tripods. sure it's not a full shot but who cares. it's a bit short but i always wear tights anyway (even in the summer. not cos i'm ashamed of my hairy legs, but because i don't want people to see my underpants..) so who cares.

i'm off to the post office. got a few letters and random surprise presents to send! and i'm making lunch when i get back. if i don't go now, luch will be ridiculously late lunch. even later than my weekday lunches (i go to lunch about 3pm, because i want to. makes the rest of the day shorter. i have a tea/fag break at midday and eat a yoghurt + banana, and a rushed cup of sugary coffee since i'm not allowed drinks in the office since last monday the coffee mug fell out of my hand and splashed all over the old computer's keyboard, which is now fucked.. yeah.) anyway! post office. in pretty dress.

THINGS I LOVE THURSDAY.

♥ this band, and this man:

i just cannot wait until end of april. i do realise song doesn't sound that amazing, but i dont care. it's probably not the final version... i miss sonny boy. i haven't seen him since.. glasgow? february 2006. i did see him on stage in april 2007, but i didn't get a chance to speak to him, he snuck off somewhere. escaping the screaming fangirls i guess. but i spoke to him on the phone couple of days later. i can't remember if i rang him, or he rang me, but he was getting ready for another gig, swedenside. in make up, ha. and sylle was opening his voice in the background. he said he was sorry we hadn't got a chance to talk. it was a weird trip home. they better come this way, or i will cry. i have a letter somewhere i wrote him ages ago, i should send it to him. check if he still has the same address, i've got some zines to send him. i sent him kersa x years ago, i think before we met, properly and he thought it was brilliant. ha. said i should write the manifesto for the state of the ark. bless him. he really is one of the most awesome people i've ever met and i don't care if you think he's lame or whatever.. i'm still going to get the tattoo he was trying to talk me out of having last time. "angelhead". i was going to get it in his handwriting but turns out his isn't that nice. ha. "what if you hate us one day?" he asked me, and i told him "well, then it will remind me of all the fun i had and all the nice people i met through you."

i also found also found some sort of extremely embarrassing proof of me and my friends being embarrassing fangirls in broken swedish. that was the first time they put us on guest list. we sort of spent the whole day sitting outside tavastia where they played, queueing even though no one else showed up. but i'd sort of got the taste of queueing from manics gigs so we did it. and found out the gig was sold out, which we hadn't expected at all for some reason. and the boys were very lovely and put us on the list! actually, i don't think i've paid to see them since. except for some extreme traveling to get to the gigs. done a few whole tours and all. those were the fucking days.

i think that's actually all i can think of today. i sound like a twat, don't i? oh, i don't give a damn if i do.
