I'm watching Russell Brand's Ponderland on love and this fabulous title comes from a woman describing meeting the love of her life...you couldn't make it up.
I went to the Japan Centre again last week and to my delight, there are now TWO different stores: one for food and another for literature and culture. I was low on sushi ingredients and so went to stock up on rice, seasonings, wasabi and soy sauce. However, something shiny and sharp caught my attention. A thing of beauty. A Japanese knife! Now to some that might seem a little scary. I haven't suddenly turned homicidal. It's just that after a while of roughly cut sushi, having neat edges seems like a dream!
*sigh*
Additionally, I seem to be cooking a lot more in recent weeks. Like for example, a lovely friend at work made some chocolate fudge and shared this (a whole SKIP-LOAD) with me. After SERIOUSLY gorgeing on the fudge, I nabbed the recipe and last night, attempted to make some. For a first attempt, it didn't half turn out bad www! So I spent my Friday evening making fudge. In my pyjamas...I fear I may have aged 20 years for 2010! Good grief!
I must say I am embracing the "F**k it" philosophy this year. Eff it need not mean that things which need to be taken seriously aren't. It just means that insignificant things in relation to the 'grand scheme' aren't turned into bigger things than they need to be. Also moaning about any and every thing which are not in one's control will not be happening in CBCs world this year. (I will endeavour not to www...) So saying that, I must have a problem but I just do not get the current obsession of some of my peers with the opposite sex, dating etc. Now of course a lot of this blog has been about my romantic feelings towards certain people, unrequited feelings and just men in general. I do look after the 'Popular Psychology' section in the bookshop and also read a lot of relationship books out of interest. However, I am a bit annoyed with some people who can barely walk a few feet down a street without assessing which men in the vicinity are attractive, interested in them and with whom they see potential. Forgive me for not giving a flying fuck! Sheesh...
So enough of the ranting tonight, I am off looking for jobbies and keeping optimistic despite feeling utterly shafted by the bookshop. Tut...onwards and UPwards

I have to say that the title of this post is the most bizarre things I've ever read. Had to read on!
I'm glad you're NOT homicidal...
Mmmm mmmmm to the fudge. I love fudge. One of my favourite things!
A nice simple philosophy. And I also hate it when people do that whole assessing complete strangers on the street thing... its so unbecoming.
I think it just proves that we are getting older and being more mature.
I have the same eff it approach now, life is too short to worry about everything and let little things get to you.
My best friend is an avid stranger assessor. I don't do that but its what happens when there is no man in your life lol.
The line really made me cackle and usually Russell Brand doesn't do that much for me (well technically it wasn't him uttering the line but still...and I digress)
Fudge. So EASY peasy. Will post a recipe soon.
I do like people/ stranger watching as I find people and their behaviours and quirks interesting. I suppose occasionally I make stories up about people and imagine what their names are or what they do as a job etc. BUT people constantly on the 'look-out' for romantic potential are knackering...
Hey Poonam,
I suppose it does mean I am getting older (sometimes a little too old!) Saying eff it is great sometimes...after all life is short and you only get one...right?
And who says its wrong to occasionally 'give the eye' to the cute guy on the tube or on the street? :D
