hello all. I feel like a special guest appearance these days, sorry. Oh well, my beloved's away all next week so, fickle hussy that I am, I'd imagine I'll have a bit more SG time 
What have I been doing?... So many dull jobs, so little time...
That said, my latest dull job is actually quite fun, or at least funny... I'm now an official choreographer with First Dance UK, teaching couples with four left feet between them how to dance without embarrasment or the need for foot surgery at their weddings. highly useful and world-enriching stuff, I can tell you. Medecins Sans Frontiers? Pah! This is where it's at!
But in unrelated news, the mighty machine that is Shapeshifter Arts Ltd (my beloved's theatre company, of which I'm an associate artist) is now grinding into action for our next production, King Arthur, which goes into rehearsal in a fortnight. my flat is full of books about the fall of Rome and the dark ages and odd contraptions made of rakes and blankets built for experiments on how to create horses onstage. Yay! I love pre-production.
no, our Arthur won't look much like that, but you can't beat a bloke in armour with a big shiny crown, now can you?
Does anyone know anything about 5th century Anglo-Saxon dances? no. if I don't do the proper research, are we going to get a professor of 5th century Anglo-Saxon choreological studies in the audience? Yes. sigh. Off to the British Library I go...

I have decided that my tastes are ....um....discerning versus deathly dull.
Cool, you never know, I might just be up for that. Its near my work too
Yes spiders are so weird, they must have hopped a ride on a spaceship, rather like rats on ships
You never replied to my Dumas post. I finished the Count of Monte Cristo and absolutely loved it.
Would you recommend anything else by him?
