Emo guys are usually youthful guys who dress in tight girls jeans and sweaters and small t-shirts. Emo guys are love their music, and they just don’t sit and in the corner and cry all day. Emo boys are sweet and compassionate and every girl wants one. Emo males’ usually high school age or college age with a lot of emotions. They tend to grow out of this scene once they hit a certain age. Emo guys seem to be more in contact with their emotions compared to a non-emo guy.
Michael is studying the play (in Spanish) for his Spanish A level, and so it was good for him to go and see the play (in English) to get an overview. The play was by the St Ivo School Drama Department and staged at the St Ivo Centre. The production was very good, lots of confidence and good acting. Good make-up too from the scary sisters dressed in black (my favourite characters). Great use of cloth as an exciting prop for the washerwomen.
Borrowed this fun book from Adam (and now passed it on to Tony!). A fun read from Mark Gatiss (League of Gentlemen). It’s a rip-roaring, tongue-in-cheek, Bond-style detective story. The plot is fun, with a few twists and turns, and some genuinely funny moments.
A couple of quotes I liked from the first chapter (after which they trailed away a bit…)
He slid forward on to the table where his teeth met the rim of his pudding bowl with a shocking crack, like the knees of an out-of-practice supplicant.
The slattern on the door opened it a crack and treated me to a view of her form. Poured carelessly into a garish oriental gown she had the look of a pox-ravaged sultana—both the potentess and the dried fruit.
Quick weekend visit to see Michael’s family. Met Elisabeth on Saturday in Bicester, and had lunch in the pub in Bure Park. The chef’s specials were pretty good for this type of pub food. In the evening we went round to stay at Tony’s house while he was in Manchester, and watched Chicago on DVD on his HUGE wide-screen TV, with a nice bottle of Tyrrells Pinot Noir from the shop round the corner. The lead three cast in the film were great and I particularly loved the Cell Block Tango, which has great lyrics and is on YouTube:
Met up with Gemma and Hannah for lunch in a new Toby Carvery on the outskirts of Banbury. I was all set to have the stuffed Butternut Squash, but it really was squashed (looked like it had been stood on), so I had the carvery instead which was good. Followed by steamed puddings, with a Bottomless Jug of Custard, very yummy. Hannah showed us some inventive magic tricks, loosely based on a magic set that she had been given as a present. Great fun.
