Mar. 17th, 2007 05:28 pmHands up who's surprised I stayed up for Comic Relief (anyone? Anyone? Bueller?). Actually if the Boosh had come on earlier ( squees ) I probably wouldn't have, but Brand was being funny as well, also, Johnny Ball massively losing Numberwang, and there was an Iannucci Worst Moments fake compilation thing at about five to three which, you know, since I was awake anyway... and Andy Zaltzman was in it which was a pleasant surprise.
(Vid of the Boosh, I knew it'd be up before long...)
So anyway, total grogginess today and I made it to my rehearsal this afternoon by the skin of the teeth. (Baritone soloist mmmmmmm.) Now to eat, change, get back in time for concert, should be fun. I must say we were sounding damn good in the a capella spirituals, so providing we manage to get the in odd bit of diction here and there (very lively room, need to aTTaCK THe CoNSoNaNTS iN oRDeR To aVoiD MuSHiNeSS) it should be OK.
Book reviews, with occasional digression
"This book reminded me of a dreadful TV show about Romantic Heroes, in which the opinion was expressed that every woman wanted to marry Heathcliff, Mr Rochester or Mr Darcy.
"I took offence, both for myself and for my beloved Mr Darcy. I mean, can you imagine them all in a room together?
"TV PRESENTER: Boys, would you like to talk about your interest and hobbies?
ROCHESTER: Well, there’s the compulsive lying. And then there’s the cross-dressing.
HEATHCLIFF: I enjoy long romantic walks on the moors-
TV PRESENTER: Oh, that’s nice!
HEATHCLIFF: And then I like to round off the day by hanging a puppy.
DARCY: …
TV PRESENTER: So, do any of you have a special lady?
ROCHESTER: Well, I may have gotten the syph from my score of mistresses. And I have this illegitimate kid. And I do have a wife, but she’s crazy and in the care of a drunk, so that won’t stick.
HEATHCLIFF: Oh snap, I have a wife too! I beat her.
DARCY: I am as yet unmarried, madam.
TV PRESENTER: Thank God for that… So, uh, what would you consider your greatest, uh, fault?
ROCHESTER: Some narrow-minded fools frown on tricking defenceless girls into bigamy.
HEATHCLIFF: So I practise incestuous necrophilia. Don’t be a hater.
DARCY: Sometimes I’m a little judgemental. And aloof at parties.
TV PRESENTER: *hides behind Mr Darcy*
"Not that Heathcliff and Rochester aren’t fabulous characters. But there are cases in which ‘Watch out, ladies, this one can’t be tamed!’ should contain the explanatory note: ‘Because this one’s rabid.’"
