House of Flying Daggers

[ewx]

It seems to be a while since I've said much here. I had a nice weekend, starting with seeing House Of Flying Daggers with Vicky, which I enjoyed though somehow I felt that it suffered from arbitrariness where inevitability belonged. On Saturday we headed down to Mole's for what turned out to be a relatively exclusive but very well catered little gathering; I particularly enjoyed the Plov. Very tired by the end of the day though.

Sunday was more relaxed; as well as clearing several days accumulated washing up, between that and this evening I've made DisOrder's handling of per-track preferences somewhat more user-friendly; punctuated by a fairly vigorous hour of karate training this evening which left me glad we've already had several sessions to put holiday idleness behind.

as well as clearing several days accumulated washing up,

I did that last night - but am always kind of reluctant to admit to it, since I expect people to shout at me for having accumulated it in the first place.

If it's your washing up, why should anyone else care?

'cos the societial norms I grew up with said that you're supposed to do the washing up after each meal and if you don't you're unhygenic/lazy/messy/disgusting etc.

I tend to do masses of washing up once or twice a week, because I don't enjoy washing up and I'd rather have a pile of it than a couple of bits, but I'd be very embarrassed about letting someone else come back to my place if I hadn't done the dishes (then again, the chances of me inviting someone back are very small, given I live in a studio flat in London - there's no space for anyone else to sit).
