One more thg.

I will be going to Charleston for a few days, so I may or may not update for a wk. or so. Which means you all will have plenty of time to lv. comments and sign the guestbook. haha... No, really, I was just letting y'all know b/c this past wk. while I was in VA, I rcvd. a phone call fr. a long-time reader, first time (in months) caller telling me I needed to update my blog. Well, not all of us have jobs that interfere w/vacation time and provide lots of boredom and Internet access. I do hope you will power through my brief absence as best you can. My entries have become almost numerous at this point, so if you ration yourself, you should be able to make it through just fine. (haha)

And if anyone wants to fly into Charleston to enjoy our weather in the mid-70s (that's upper teens, low 20s for you metric folk) and stay at my pseudo-family's house at the beach, pls. do so. Perhaps those currently living in a sub-arctic island nation who have their eye on a certain hot friend of mine? I'm just sayin'...She'll be at my party. And we're supposed to go for tea. So, ya know...

I have no idea what you mean.

Happy Christmas.

Yes it’s late, and a measly present, but I’ve left you a comment. Maybe a bit like your cat leaves you a present.

News from London – it’s raining and I’m all alone in the office. Christmas being the time of peace, and everyone fucks off. For those unfortunates reading this, I work for world peace. I actually do. Or more precisely, I polish the water coolers of those seeking world peace. And TATU have just come on the radio. Did they happen to you? Two Russian lesbian schoolgirls. Or were they? However did that become a novelty?

Anyway, heat is over-rated; I fail to see how you can combine love of knitting with a tropical climate (yes 20s counts as tropical). And it’s well documented that heat and peace do not go together, Marion you know something about the climate, back me up here. Think of Sweden and now think of the Middle East. And the only violent people in the history of Sweden (I’ll save that one for another time) had to travel abroad before they could attack people (the Vikings everyone). In actuality, if global warming is going to lead to a mini ice age, then America may actually be doing the most for global peace out of anyone.

Go consumerism. How was your Christmas? We could make that an open question – assuming anyone got through the bit about the Vikings – I got some mini Chinese performing circus magnets. I’ll put them next to my zester cradle, and my *nearly empty* bag of gummi bears. I can hold out for another 11 days.

Isn't there some joke about Sweden and the cuckoo clock and war? It's from "The Third Man", I think. But I don't really know. I was drunk when I woke up this morning. Fully clothed.

Okay, first of all, did the video footage of TATU performing at the MTV Music Awards and stripping down on live TV w/hundreds of their little clones not make it to Britain? B/C I would think that would have been straight up your alley, Ben (or Daniel, but you were in the US, so I can only assume you saw it since it was all over TV, even non-cable TV). Second, we are a *sub*-tropical region, which means that we do on occasion get cold weather. This winter has been freakish, but I'll write on that next time I post. I'm just inviting you to make the most of our oddity. Third, "it's raining" does not constitute news fr. London. But thanks for contributing an amusing comment and helping start my day w/a laugh instead of the usual, "Oh, holy fuck." Finally, Daniel, I hope you at least remember going to bed. It's okay to wake up still drunk and it's mostly okay to wake up fully clothed (better than waking up completely naked, esp. if it wasn't your bed), but it's important that you remember getting to bed. B/C otherwise you're a "blackout drunk" and that can get you admitted to an inpatient program. Assuming anyone cares to make you do that.

TATU got naked? Why do you taunt me with this (and other matters well known to yourself) all the way from over there?

Give me a couple of months and I'll come over and sort that out.

Actually Ben I live on the border between a desert and California chaparral. That means it gets colder in the winter and especially winter nights. Everyone thinks ooooh those Californians are big pansies walking around in their sandals in the warm warm sun. No. Its been between 5 and 12 degrees Celsius here. And I still wear my sandals. Denial keeps me warm. This is a slightly warmer range than Scotland but definately can't be construed as a sub-tropical heat wave. Sorry I couldn't back ya up. I still don't think it gets that cold in the UK. Try living in Michigan or Canada or Alaska.
Having said that its nice to hear from ya Ben. You should leave comments more often. Glad you are working for world peace but hopefully in a more efficient manner than every other Miss America.
