Dance, fishies, dance!

burntcopperGot up early and went jogging. This seems to work (since when you get home after walking for half an hour your body and mind tend to rebel and scream 'Sofa! email! Hollyoaks!'). Got a bit of the way into Regents' Park, appear to be less out of shape than thought. May need to buy a watch since I don't want to get back late. Weirdest thing is when you get onto the main roads - and have to dodge the commuters. Thing is? I'm back on the roads by 7:45-50. All these people are presumably going to Central London. What time are they sodding well *starting* at work?

munchkinott, I look like Kate Hudson. Huh. considering most of my comparisons are Rose Tyler due to the blonde thing (though my actual resemblance is a slightly curvier Jenny Sparks), this is a new one.
Need to make the 300 dress. Theoretically, this shouldn't be difficult as the only sewing is putting the straps on - the only problem is cutting it, as it's all about draping.
:ponders: Does anyone know why you're incapable of singing certain songs without a specific accent? This occured to me when I was singing 'Dance to thy daddy / Thou shalt have a fishy on a little dishy' on the way home yesterday (you may have heard it on an ad for fish - it's a folk song about traditional subjects such as drinking. WARNING : there is no sex in this folk song.). I always sing it with a slight Geordie accent (including rolled 'r's, very weird) due to the fact that it was my Gran that taught me it. Even though I can't produce a Geordie accent to save my life under normal circumstances (whilst being able to understand very, very thick versions of the accent and dialect). Other examples would be anything by the Proclaimers and 'Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz'.
Had a listen to the '89 cast recording of Anything Goes. Suspect it'll take me a few more goes to get used enough to it to start appreciating it. (took me several to get used to Sunset Boulevard and now I'm a complete addict) The main problem is that the Billy Crocker on this (who JB replaced) sounds nothing like what I think of the role sounding like - he reminds me more of Phillip Quast's style than anything. Some interesting things to note : The male chorus sounds very, very like the Comedian Harmonists, which adds a nice period touch.
