One of the best things about moving to a new place and making new friends is that you can recycle some of your best material. When looking at the picture above (assuming my internet allows it), those of you in the States are probably thinking, “Ho hum. Ringo’s in the astronaut costume again.”
However, at my friend Steve’s 30th birthday, people actually broke into applause for the astronaut costume. The theme of the “fancy dress” party was 60’s and 70’s, but no one expected Neil Armstrong to show up.* Jen and I were immediately facing a half dozen flashing cameras. Sort of like facing the paparazzi for about 30 seconds.
I fully understand if you readers are questioning the part about “applause” and “flashbulbs.” I tend to believe that people are always applauding my actions and taking photos. However, Jen confirmed it. It really happened.

* "Fancy dress" means "costume party" if you hail from the British Commonwealth. I'm not really in the habit of using that term, but i like to sound of it. Almost as much as "Aluminium."

Holy crap, there's posts GALORE on your page now! How fantastic! Welcome back, I was sure you'd been eaten by a dragon, or monkeys, or something. I like the term "fancy dress" instead of costume. It sounds more sophisticated. I'm going to put it into action immediately.
I'm jealous you saw monkey sex. It's just not fair. Not only that, but you didn't have to go to a zoo to see it. You saw it raw and in the wild. Sick, I just said raw. I didn't mean it like that. Anyway, glad to hear you're doing well! By the way, how do you like the Beta version of blogger? I've been hesitant to switch. Cheers!
Aluminium - that kills me, hehe. I seriously thought someone was f*cking with me when I first hear that used in England. The British are so weird.
