I have, since yesterday, been listening to The Feeling. I know they make Belle and Sebastian sound deeply hardcore (well, Belle and Sebastian are a *little* hardcore), but whatever, I want to go around listening to them on my iPod in the lovely sunshine and humming "...got some sugar for your bowl, got some lemon for your soul". (I initially thought I was persistently mishearing "some loving for your soul" as "some lemon for your soul", but am now convinced that "lemon" is in fact right. AW BRITISH.)
It's sunny outside. I did my laundry. Dissertation is go, as is RAG Blind Date, even after we all swore up and down we'd never do it again. After dinner last night Alex and I procrastinated (well, I was just there; he was procrastinating) by hitting the random word button on OED.com as a method of divining how our dates would go (both him and his girlfriend are participating, separately, for reasons that are unclear to me). Alex got "repair". His girlfriend got "air guitar". Vicky got "auricle". I, most encouragingly, got "morris dancing". A little later, as I was leaving, I heard him cry out joyously that "bootylicious" was in the OED.
Now, if I only had plans for tonight, all would be perfect. Someone should take me to see "Black Book", seeing as how the trailer for it prominently features, as almost its only spoken line, the word "AUSGEZEICHNET". This means "excellent", and is one of the few things I can say in German, apart from such classics as "ich will keine möbel kaufen; ich bin Beelzebub" and "HALLO ICH BIN GOTT".

Idé: Du kan ta med deg noen andre på ausgezeichnet film! Inspirert av enten MbG eller MbA, som hadde for vane å omtale alt de gjorde sammen med andre som "å ta de med seg". Gir alle foretak en air av initiavrikrikedom og veldedighet.
