I thought they’d come for me, just then. There I was, brazenly reading No Logo in McDonald’s when an employee strolled up. “that book” he said, pointing to the severe black cover. “What is it? It’s a bestseller, is it a story?” Eeek! I thought. It’s the MaccyD’s Thought Police! “Uh.. no.. it’s about how global corporations are..” THINK OF SOMETHING NON-CONTROVERSIAL! “… selling brands instead of products… Like Nike. Or Virgin.” Or McDonald’s, heh heh.. “Oh, yes, Richard Branson is just labelling everything and selling..” “Yes, yes, that’s it..” “I think I’ll get that for a friend.” And, with my effusive “It’s very good”s ringing in his ears, off he strolled again.

Random.

I said a while ago that I had lots to say, didn’t I? Then I just plain clammed up. Sorry.

Damn, wasn’t it cold last week? Ice and snow and stuff. Makes a change from blistering heat, which was what was going on when I last posted, I think. Yeah. I was talking about short trousers, wasn’t I?

I shall take a bath this week. I shower every other day. Want a bath. With bubbles.

We made pie last night, amongst other things. Pie is good, though I’m not sure.. the pastry wasn’t so amazingly good. My fault, I think.

The spare room is looking bare right now. Stripped of wallpaper. Curious to see it like that, but it’s something very definite, a step on a longer road to something very exciting.

Quiz tonight. Kinda hope we don’t win, in a way. Doesn’t make you popular.
Saw LotR 3 yesterday. It’s pretty good. I’m never going to think it’s a masterpiece, but it’s certainly a great slab of entertainment. I like the book a lot.

Oh, I did a birthday post for me on the fifth. But it didn’t show up. Silly wapblogger. It was my birthday on the fifth. I’m now 27. You may now praise me.. as your almighty!

Sorry.
