Hmpf. What's with all the autumn birthdays in my family? After work cake-making frenzy is becoming quite the routine... At least the chocolate & nuts & chocolate cream one for my mother was slightly less work intensive than the Black Forest cake my sister wanted. (Except that she hadn't returned the cake cover yet & I had to drive halfway across the city at 9 pm to get it. Ah well, the cake needed time to cool anyway.)


On a somewhat unrelated (not to mention highly random) note, rushing to the underground station I realised that I was dressed in nothing but shades of violet & purple from suede coat to doc martens.... purple corduroy skirt, darkish pink spaghetti strap top, flower patterned transparent top & purple crochet top. I've always liked this colour and used to wear it a lot years & years ago, well, before.... when I was younger, more idealistic, less disillusioned & life generally was still comparatively uncomplicated and depression-free. Er.

I always kept the odd purple/violet item in my wardrobe, but used them much more sparingly. So this felt good in a slightly nostalgic, slightly regressive way; like rediscovering something while not being entirely sure it still applies to you or what, if anything, it means...


Okay, shower, then family lunch.

Was vastly amused by Smallville today. The scene where Lex drives up to the school after the fire and Clark goes all big smile, 'Lex!', and Lex, 'I came as soon as I heard', rushes past Clark with barely a glance to kiss Desiree? The look on Clark's face? Abso-fucking-lutely priceless.

And it just got better from there. Subtext? Barely.


I'll get my IQ (such as it is) out of the gutter again one of these days. Promise.


Food was good, family tolerable...
