Amazingly Delicious, Deliciously Amusing
I’m feeling happier now, thankfully. I’m feeling good, in fact.
Tonight (well, technically last night now, for it is past 2:00 AM as I write this) we went to dinner for Hissy Kitty’s birthday at a most amazing vegetarian restaurant. It’s called "Enlightened Cuisine". It’s at Southbank. It’s a Chinese vegetarian restaurant where they serve fake versions of duck, chicken, lamb, beef, prawns, crab, fish, and even shark fin soup (which we had and which was delicious – in fact, I believe we tried all the “meat”s except the crab), along with regular tofu and vegetable dishes and what-not. It’s basically for people who like the taste and texture of meat but don’t like to eat it for ethical reasons, and for those vegetarians who just want to try something novel. Seriously, the food is as nice as any similar food I can recall ever eating that contained real meat. The service was fantastic, too. Highly recommended.
I should also mention that Shantoozy took Hissy Kitty on the “Neighbours” tour, where you go in a little bus filled with British backpackers to visit Ramsey Street and other places around town where they film the show. It’s a ridiculous show, of course, and these two loonies are into it and had a jolly good time being intentionally ludicrous by taking this tour. They got to meet Harold Bishop AKA Ian Smith, who was one of the top handful of actors they’d hoped to meet. Shantoo said to him, “I’ve heard you would bring porn onto the set.” This shocked the attendant Brits, apparently. Ian replied that, no, he didn’t, then going on to confirm, however, that he is a dirty old man who eats meat, smokes, drinks and womanises (unlike the vegetarian, prudishly Christian Harold). Shantoo then went on to explain that what she’d meant was that she’d heard that he used to bring pornographic photos onto the set and hide them in places like drawers and such where they wouldn’t be seen on film but would certainly be seen by the actor opening the drawer while acting their silly character. It seems like it’s probably true, but of course he didn’t want to admit it at the official “Neighbours” tour. Hehe, deliciously amusing, however.

You know I put in dibs and a concept to shoot Ian Smith's "Pop" song.
R: Heh, how did you go?
Nada, but it would have been fun and a very silly thing to do.
Rups
R: For sure!
When is this pop song suppose to come out? Does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of the Neighbours 20th anniversary Age free dvd? Apparently there are naked male stars running around on it in one part!
