The Importance Of Being Harpo
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
  A man of his word
For no particularly good reason, I decided last Friday to go for a stretch of time having only so many drinks in a week.

So what did I do Friday night? Yep. Eight hours solid of beer. Was cheerily dancing at a dodgy pub in Collingwood until a late hour. And then spent the next day standing in a paddock for the length of the afternoon. What do you do after a day of cricket? Yep. Beer. It had been a particularly difficult but satisfying day fielding so we had earned a celebratory drink or three. Rosco the cheery housemate and I obviously needed a relaxed cold one watching Jason Bourne and laughing at the Aussies losing to England on Sunday and naturally you need a quiet sip from a can when you're mixing up some hot shit with the bandmates just as we did last night.

Harpo: the will of iron. Of iron.

Now, what other resolutions can I ignore? I hereby resolve to wear hats, to read more books about Spanish agriculture and to eat kebabs every Michaelmas. Bwaa hahah!

Michaelmas is a long way away. I think you should hit the donna kebabs and Spanish agriculture books ASAP.

Cheers J. currently in Madrid, Spain
 
Isn't it quite likely that since no-one knows when Michaelmas is, you probably will eat a kebab that day?

Also, I am loving the artwork on this blog.
 
It's on the 29th of September.

Oh OK. Well it looks as though, according to Wikipedia — that modern oracle — I'm supposed to be eating goose at Michaelmas and not kebabs. I don't know any more.

Good to hear from you ElJ. Hope India treats you well.

INC, thanks for the acknowledgment. It's fun hunting for the right image. My current favourite is the one of the bare-knuckle fight.
