Have you ever played matchmaker?  How did it go?

Once.  Accidentally.  He had a roving eye, and she was too needy - and a real bitch, actually - once she landed him, she ignored me!  It was all very boring, and came to a head one night when he showed up with another woman.  And of course suddenly I was a shoulder to cry on for the next month.  Which seriously impinged on my social life.

But then he's dead now, and she's in Kuala Lumpur.  Let that be a lesson to all would be matchmakers out there.

If you could open a restaurant, any kind you want, what would it look like and what's on the menu?
Submitted by A is for Amy.

I would open a cabaret restaurant.  Dimly lit, little clusters of tables, a couple of small dance floors, and a stage.  We might open with a little burlesque, perhaps some bellydancing, and for the main course, a local band would play. 

I'd have open mic night once a week, and at the weekend the tables would be cleared away and sofas and pouffes put in their place for a late night movie screening.  And large mugs of hot tea and coffee would be served: I hate that you can't get hot beverages when you go to the movies. 

Fridays and Tuesdays would be club nights.  DJs would alternate between interesting IDM, ear-splitting experimental electronica, and contemporary Latin.

As for the food, who needs food when you have such good music?
