where the bloody hell are you meets the rock and roll dreamer

last night i spent a glorious, feedback filled hour with every one's favourite weegies. Yes!!! the brothers Reid played the Palace Theatre in Melbourne last night and I was there. oooooooooo... they were so totally, utterly delectable. all my youthful moments of love, fear, hate and belonging all came washing back over me. we were all in black. we all sang along. the room was full of fans and i was going berserk with the best of them. they played all your favourites - sidewalking, happy when it rains, reverence, darklands.

i had to post some of their songs, because the Jesus and Mary Chain have to be one of every one's favourite bands! right? no?????? well, to get you to change your minds, here's an old one:



and a new(er) one:




sing along, dance the good dance! don't believe me, well here's a review!

on a totally different note, there was a conversation on cupcake rehab about the location of different visitors. i have noted of late i've that i've had a visitor from Bowling Green, and another from Athens.

now, Bowling Green has to be the best name for a town i have ever heard of. if you come back,
post a comment and tell me what it's like.

as for Athens? Athens is one of my favourite places on earth. if you have never been you must book yourself a ticket this instant. now, i tell you! stop reading this and get down to the local travel agent this instant. particularly if you are of the foodie description, oooooo... mousaka, yemista, pasticio, coffee, all that would melt your heart! and if you're a boring history girl type of foodie, athens is obviously the place. the parthenon, home of athena my very favourite god/goddess, the stoa of the ancient agora, the bronze statue of poseidon in the athens museum and so, so much more. what, you're still here?? pame!

paint spatters

if any one ever tells you that painting your house is easy - they're liars. however the results of three weeks work, in the stinking australian heat can be found here.

tonight i made loukamades, or Greek honey puffs. the batter was easy to make, but getting them cooked on the inside, but not burnt on the outside proved difficult. needless to say these ones were disasters (although they look ok). will have to keep trying.
