cooking and recipes and downers

grant mclennan's death has hit me the worst out of any rock star death since kurt, i don't know why, i've felt so down. i just feel that grant's songs are me and they epitomise me and my personality and so many of my feelings in my early 20's. i guess it feels like a little part of me has died. i would like to go to his funeral, guess it's not to be. rage, please repeat the forster and mclennan programming.

i've been pretty good this week, i haven't had takeaway once. all homecooked meals and using public transport. the risotto i made last night was super if i do say so myself. luke it was super :-)

i made cookies as well for the first time ever and they were dang tasty. now it's time to think about the recipes for next week. i'm so predictable and a complete virgo organising freak.

unkind and unwise

the song listed above has a beautiful flowing melody that is most evocative of grant for me. it's such a gentle song. i hate it when people die and even though i didn't know grant mclennan personally. how could a go-betweens fan not feel a sense of loss? i saw them last year and they were special. grant even played a solo version of black mule to begin with. the albums would rank in my all time favourites and probably both spring hill fair and 16 lovers lane would rank as desert island discs. i used to like grant's songs more than robert, now i've sorta changed, i think it comes with age. being a music fan means many times you are destined for heartbreak and this is crap. i wish now i had gotten to sydney earlier this year to see the night with the go-betweens, it was a week before i arrived and i didn't think i would afford it. man! oh well here's hoping he's resting in a special place, where he's able to rest and achieve something else we don't get here.

the first one

this is the first chronicle of bebe or indeed bebay or maybe plain baby. this is usurping myspace, because i've had enough of that stinking festering hole. i thought it was revolutionary at first, but it's rather boring. i guess the irony is most of you reading this will have been myspace buds. well that's the way it is.

this is simple streamlined and i like it. mi3 is a an awesome movie, like a big episode of alias. wow!!!

please comment if you feel compelled to, all of you internet perverts out there. if you read this thing, you might as well say something about it. kool, now we have that sorted, i gotta go to this jive thing called sleep. goodnight.
