Slept better, thank God, though there was a little light vomiting last night. Not sure why that was. Eine kleine nachtnausee or something like that. Red onions were involved.
OK that's far too much information!
Finished watching 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' last night (they didn't need to come up with snappy titles in those days) and followed it by three helpings of Blackadder.
'So, you're a chap are you, Bob?'
Not you, Bob. Everyone knows you're a chap.
Bob, where are you?
The other Bob – Dylan – is Doing Lots of Exciting Stuff at the moment – concerts in China and everything. Apparently he's not supposed to be doing 'The Times They are a-Changin' because it's about – er, well – changes to the status quo, and the Authorities don't want people realising that changes to the status quo might be possible at any time. Which just goes to show how stupid the Authorities often are.
I used to love Dylan. Can't stand him now. Cohen, on the other hand, is always with me.
Mark is going to do pinhole cameras and insects today. The weather is not looking promising.
Oh! And on the radio they're talking about the latest craze to sweep the world – planking. You choose a flat surface and you lie on it.
It that it?
No! There's more. You also (wait for it) take a photo and UPLOAD it!
Wow!!!
But it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye – or in this case, falls off a 5 cm-wide balcony and loses a life. Whoops! – turns out he only had one life to lose, and now he's dead. 'Extreme planking', apparently, is what it's called.
If that isn't evidence of the bankruptcy of our culture, I don't know what is. Honestly, is that all you can think of doing? Lying on a narrow surface and taking your photo? FFS!
Nuff said.
