Dinner Monkey

WANTED : DINNER MONKEY

Must be an excellent conversationalist , have vast life experience and plenty of interesting/appalling tales with which to regale his dinner companions. Ability to easily converse on numerous topics, including (but not limited to): movies, international politics, psychology, BDSM, religion, tyres, music,  historical embroidery, mushroom recipes, art galleries, medieval history, books, technology,  photography, tequila, travel,tattooing, unemployment, and Izzardisms will be considered a bonus.  A fine appreciation of the absurd, a combattive verbal style and a tendency towards a dry/sarcastic sense of humor also required. Prefer… a not too fussy eater who comes with nice dry reds.  References may be required. 😉   Apply via email… all bribes accepted.

Yep, I think we need a new Dinner Monkey. I’ve barely had 2 or 3 dinner parties in the last 12 months since my Dinner Monkey left town… who would have thought he’d be so difficult to replace!  I imagine there would be any number of willing and available bachelor types (you know guys… who don’t/can’t cook) out there prepared to be the entertainment for the evening in return for a home cooked meal… but alas…. this seems not to be the case.  🙂

Perhaps my previous Dinner Monkey, MD, set the bar a little too high huh?  HdM has tried to valiantly to fill the vacant Dinner Monkey shoes, but is soon to come with time consuming girlfriend attachment, so not so useful a Dinner Monkey as one might hope for!!!   lol

Missing Movie Monkey

With my Movie Monkey in parts unknown (Canada!), I’ve had to con others into stepping into the breech. Went to see The Prestige tonight, which I have to say it exceeded my expectations and I quite enjoyed it. Must be the first time in ages that I’ve gone to see something and wasn’t quite sure how it was going to end. Did pick some of the plot twists, but there was still plenty in there to keep your mind ticking over.

Saw three previews for three rather depressing looking films all set in South Africa. Why is is Hollywood hits a theme and then milks it to death all in one hit?

Looking forward to getting a chance to see Borat, Casino Royale and Marie Antoinette over the holidays.
