it's saturday

I realise there are so many restaurants I have not eaten at and am just dying to.
Perhaps it's time for a list, from which I can strike off and feel a sense of foodie-accomplishment.

There is one place I have to start the list with.
Although that means having to travel to Spain.

I'll post that up sometime, after letting my stomach muse over it for a while...

Anyway I'm starting to realise what a mishmesh of topics appear in this blog.

I once started a book blog with the intention to write about another obsession of mine, but I gave up, at that time being kinda busy (okok i'm just lazy). I think I'll start that up again.

And while I'm at that, I think it's time to start on those lovely food books that have been sitting on my shelves, and which I haven't started on...

* MFK Fisher named by WH Auden as America's greatest writer back in 1963. She died in 1992.

* Jeffrey Steingarten - Vogue's food columnist, always in search of that perfect (name of food here)

And now, on to the subject of music

I recently got hold of Coldplay's Parachutes (going for only $12.90 at Gram's warehouse sale) and that now makes the collection more or less.

* Parachutes
* A Rush Of Blood To The Head
* X&Y
* Coldplay Live 2003
(the last two are copies hehe.. thanks to mej)

After listening to their three albums, I have to say that I like Parachutes best. I think it's partly cos for ages tracks from A Rush were just playing over and over on the radio. Like Clocks and The Scientist (both are great songs though). I like Warning Sign as well.

Maybe these are songs that are meant to be done live - on one of my random channel-surfing early mornings, I checked Coldplay out on this VH1 special on MTV. Think it was called Storytellers.

So here's one of my favourites from that one, Shiver
(my apologies, it's a WMA file. I can't really dl anything onto this PC at work, cos I don't seem to have administrator privileges)

And speaking of MTV, I keep missing Viva La Bam and . I always end up seeing Burned and Boiling Point (which I'm not too fond of) and it seems that for the past three mornings when I turn on MTV, it's always Kaiser Chiefs (I predict a riot), Green Day (wake me up when september ends), Kelly Clarkson (behind these hazel eyes) and Rob Thomas (i dont know which one cos whenever it starts, i change the channel, otherwise i'd have to throw up)

I've been here for four hours and I haven't done a damn thing.
