Hot Swing Cool Jazz

CONCERT:   Hot Swing Cool Jazz

Sat, 16 Oct 2004 18:00 - Fly By Night Musicians Club, Fremantle.
There could be dancing, I think we should all go and I think we should dress up.

I was going to go dancing and then I got distracted by training, chocolate ice-cream, gardening, having a bath, cuddling the woofer (who is strangely well behaved at the moment – I think he thinks I went away because he was bad), cuddling ascetic_hedony (who graded today and is fabulous) and watching The Phantom Menace which is a most attractive alternative and involved the couch and a pot of bruise cream. Ah happiness.

Seduced by Moonlight by Laurell K Hamilton

Power-UP! Yups, the 3rd Merry Gentry book and yet somehow I felt like I was watching DragonballZ.

Amazingly porny, yet not. How many mystical objects can one woman have? Why can't the Fey use their magical powers to successfully walk in high heels? What do you mean Merry isn't pregnant yet? Whyfore does Hamilton have such a thing for porny cannibalism? How will I sleep at night?

And thereby hangs a tale, please read this book so I can rabbit on without guilt.

Not quite poetry for Special_Trille

Two thousand feet above Scotland a tail gunner in a crippled British bomber tears off his burning parachute and clothes and leaps in panic from the airborne inferno. Plummeting naked through the night he thinks he is about to die.

He lands on a deep drift of powdery snow which has settled on some fine spruces. This cushions his fall and he drops through it onto a shingle roof which collapses under him. And finally he lands safely and softly on a thick, warm, eiderdown on a large bed beside a beautiful woman in a nightgown.

At that moment the womans' husband enters the room with a cup of steaming coca and in a sudden jealous rage flings the scalding beverage over the naked airman.

The gunner is reunited with his crew in the burns ward of a London hospital.

MORAL: God punishes those who survive too extravagantly.
