Last night I saw an advert in the window of WH Smith. It read "Liked The Da Vinci Code? Then you'll love these.." and there, amongst the likes of "An illustrated guide to the Da Vinci Code" and "The Michelangelo Code" was... "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. Oh, really, WH Smith? If you liked The Da Vinci Code you'll love the exact same thing? Ya think??
Anyway, yeah. I'm off to see the movie tonight. Very excited. It sounds *dreadful*. But in a hilarious, point-and-laugh sort of way.
Montenegro seem to have split with Serbia. Fine, sure, okay. But you know what this means? Another Balkan state to vote for all the others come Eurovision 2007. Bah, stupid splitters.
Not that it mattered this year. The best monsters won.
We have a new bed. If HTML worked in these emaily posts, I'd put in a link, but suffice to say that it comes from the easily-Googled Warren Evans and it rocks. Between the new feather-and-down duvet and the feather-and-down mattress topper, one feels at night as if one is encased in a beautiful, soft coccoon. Lovely. Last night, we - in a completely innocent way - went to bed at 9pm, just to enjoy the feeling of being in bed. Brand new linen, ironed (god, I'm not doing that every time. I had the day off to let the guys in to build the bed, turns out I *actually* needed it to iron the linen), no more futon mattress... Just so good.
Okay, well, get on with your day, good people.
Not with you, although I am. Hello, you. How are you?
Bulletin from da kids: Fat ties are in. This seems at odds with the current vogue for all things 80s, but you can't argue with the way people knot their school ties. There never was a time when fat ties were cool for us at school. I feel old and weird just knowing this.
Talking of feeling old, what's MySpace all about? Isn't it just a load of old shit? I mean, why does everyone have a MySpace page? Shameless self-promotion? I genuinely don't get it. I mean, I don't like LJ but at least I understand it. MySpace seems to be filling a nonexistent void in the market. Nonexistent void - wow. There's a conceptual mindwarp for you.
Wow. Gosh, the cake was actually better today (the day after it was made). The lemon has soaked through the sponge and the slight (not unpleasant) egginess of yesterday has vanished, replaced with a mellow lemony taste and a subtle crunch where the syrup has hardened to a sort of glaze.
And I still have a little left. And more at home! Woo!
Hello. This may be the first of many posts. I hope so. I'm at work, and this is via email. I decided to actually look at Blogger and see if there's a way to cut off the footer on a work email... and there is. Hurrah! So hopefully this will work and I'll post more regularly. Though I'm not guaranteed to be any more interesting than before. Also I don't know if the HTML in this message works properly.
Just to keep you up to date: We have bookshelves - IKEA's famed Billy is now resident - and a KitchenAid food mixer and thanks to that I have cake at lunchtime. Although I may save it for a sit-down at 4...
Ah, teatime.
