About this blog
It's over.
Ah... Do you want to know a bit more?
This blog was set up to chart my experience singing in Malaysia for two months (see below for the original 'About this blog' blurb) - and is over until the next time I do a stint in Asia, at least. At which point, I'll probably return to this page, slap a big '2' next to the words 'Lost In Transposition', and start blogging every day, all over again. In the meantime, I'll be writing weekly posts about life, the universe and jazz music over at the 'Blog' section of andreamann.com. Which is my main website, and where no pictures of my bottom exist.
My name is Andrea Mann and I'm a jazz singer and a freelance journalist. I live alone in London, England... except for February and March this year, when I'll be living in with approximately 300 other people in a hotel in Penang, Malaysia.
It's a five-star hotel with a pool, a spa and a jazz lounge. I'll be singing six nights a week in this jazz lounge, and the agent says I'll "be treated like a local celebrity". I'm imagining my experience might turn out to be a little like Lost In Translation. Hence the title. And the bottom.
This is going to be my blog about my adventures out there. I apologise in advance for making you click on my bottom to get to the homepage. Past posts

is that a pill or a suppository? Either way it looks painful for the cat.

hang on, wasn’t mary the mother of christ?

I know you’re an atheist andrea, but I would have thought a little biblical knowledge might have seeped in somehow… Did you not every star in a nativity play?
March 11th, 2008 at 10.25pm
god bless you my child…. for that you are forgiven

Thank you, V.
Pete - I did indeed star in a nativity play, in the role of ‘Joel The Stable Boy’. I think that’s why I’ve had an aversion to having a short hairdo ever since.
in terms of getting the title wrong: my only defence is that a) it’s a turn of phrase, an exclamation I’m sure I’ve heard; and b) I am indeed an atheist. therefore I know no better.

Surely you could have turned it into Billy Joel the Stable Boy (or Unstable in his case).
One of my proudest moments as a concerned father was the folowing dialogue with my son
Phil: “You know, that guy. Joseph’s son.”
Me: “Do you mean Jesus?”
Phil: “Yeah, that’s the feller.”

I was too young to know about Billy Joel. unlike you

Maybe Joseph was just very Oedipal…
March 12th, 2008 at 3.12am
ooooh, get you. I’d never heard of Billy Joel til I was well past nativity age.

My nephew was born 24th December. His name is Joseph. His siblings still call him Jesus.

our head of department’s in-laws are called mary and joseph, which gives his wife a fair amount of clout in the relationship obviously
March 12th, 2008 at 3.51pm
She must feel a little insecure around this time every year though
March 12th, 2008 at 4.18pm
well, only temporarily. She just jeeps bouncing back.

Oh, I have just realised that the multi-vitamins are for you and not the cat! I did wonder how those tiny cats swallowed those big pills.
