 | Elsewhere, what's been making me happy?
Karaoke at the Retro Bar has been making me happy. Wednesday before last, out for a drink, wending our way in a pubcrawly fashion back towards the Strand, we decided to pop into the Retro Bar for a drink. After all,we reasoned, it was a Wednesday: it would be pretty quiet. We had reckoned with the power of the magical empty orchestra.
One of my main reasons for karaoke avoidance is the choice of songs, which is uniformly dreadful - given a choice between singing Karen Carpenter and just throwing up all over the front three rows, I'll pick the latter every time. However, the Retro being an indie bar, but also a gay bar gay bar gay bar, we got indie karaoke, perhaps for the first time. Rock. I've never heard a karaoke "Panic" before, much less a note-perfect one.
Enormous sandwiches have been making me happy. Japanese food is making me happy, despite the pissed bloke who managed to compare me first to Hugh Grant and then to Jude Law, I think for no better reason than that I'm a posho, last night. The poor guy had also requested his waitress' name and was working unsuccessfully towards her phone number. When you start looking at the Japanese girls as part of your meal, leave the restaurant, pignuts. The Tokyo Diner is surprisingly inexpensive for a neophyte's restaurant, and most importantly has a sci-fi door). Clay kitten shooting is warming my black, black heart. On the whole, sleepy. More when brain work better.
