I’m heading to Hong Kong and Thailand (Bangkok plus a couple of islands) for a fortnight, leaving on Thursday 26th. If you want a postcard, askbox me your address and where you want it sent from.
This Is Awesome, You Should Watch It of the Day: Cookie Monster spoofs “Call Me Maybe”.
Lyrics (as best as I could make out between howls of laughter):
Me got a wish on me mind
It is a chocolate chip kind
Me look at you and me tell
You may have snickerdoodle
Me trade me soul for a bite
Me spell it out black and white
Me look at you and me see
You like an elf in a tree (?)
You, cookie showin’
And me, hunger growin’
Let’s get skim milk flowing
We’ll start this snack going baby
Chorus:
Hey, me just met you
And this is crazy
But you got cookie!
So share it maybe
It’s hard to look at
You snack baby
But you got cookie!
So share it maybe
Cuppycake with frosting
It no phase me
But you got cookie!
So share it maybe
You took you time with a bite
Me trying to stay polite
Me start to really freak out
Please someone call the Girl Scout
Me no grumble or grouse
This thing is Toll on me House (very clever, Sesame Street writers)
Me going off me rocker
Please feed me Betty Crocker
Chorus
Buy an ice cream
It no phase me
But you got cookie!
So share it maybe
Before you came into me life me missed you so bad
Me missed you so bad
Me missed you so so bad
Before you came into me life me missed you so bad
And you should know that
Me missed you so so bad
Chorus
Chocolate brownie
It no phase me
But you got cookie!
So share it maybe?
Next month, I’m going to Hong Kong and Thailand (Bangkok plus a spot of island-hopping). You know the drill - if you want a postcard, askbox me your address and where you want it sent from.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly…

Current status:
WAIT, STOP.
I’M SORRY, THE ENTIRE TIME YOU WERE TALKING I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELABORATE SETUP FOR A JOKE BUT THEN I REALIZED YOU’RE JUST EXTREMELY BORING.

I’m just going to leave this here.
