Sitting in a coffeehouse, abusing some poor bastard's wireless internet, and writing email to Zach Galifianakis. Also enduring good-naturedly some verbal abuse from friends about my date earlier this week, and whether or not it was successful.

I'm talking to the beautiful man on the phone and repeatedly sparking the "Maryland is for crabs" lighter which Bitchiekittie sent me.

I bought my first ever duvet today. To be honest with you I'm too busy looking at it and thinking of myself as some parody adult to actually do anything. Am I the only person who can't reconcile themselves with buying duvets? That's a serious business y'know. Are there people who are born old enough to buy duvets and think it's normal?

Just arrived home from a tapas bar with Mrs The Ball, and we are brewing liquorice tea and heading to bed, right now.

Oh, is it Mrs the ball now?

Listening to Radio 4, running a bath, trying to tidy my desk for the umpteenth time this week. Failing, sort of.

What have you been using up till now? Weren't you cold, or did you have blankets and tucked in sheets like my Grandma?

I have now finished talking to the beautiful man on the phone and have scarily just lit a cigarette without realising there was one in the ashtray.

Bed, please don't fail. Failing is not a thing you ought to be 'doing'.

I should probably go home and watch CSI repeats. I should.

Hmm.

It's the easiest way to refer to him. I hate that S/O, or boyfriend, or partner thing, and since I think he's a beautiful man that's just what he's become when I talk about him online.

Well, now. If I didn’t keep failing I wouldn’t have a good reason to keep trying, would I?

When the bin got to be about 2/3 full, I think I unconsciously started putting less and less in it, rather than simply emptying it out and starting again. That’s been the crucial flaw in my whole tidying-up strategy. I see that now.

It’s still messy, but it’s better than it was, and anyway I’ve lost the spontaneous urge to tidy now.

Enjoying a glass of red wine, some medium aged cheddar cheese with crackers, and slices of a delicious juicy bartlett pear. Am also contemplating what I should have for supper tonight - thinking of ordering out, but since I've already bought lunch 3 times this week, I'll probably just open up a can of soup.

Well until a few years ago I was using duvets that my mum bought, and then my darling's duvet but frankly that was falling apart. But we're moving you see and I thought, in an ever so female way- eek, time for a real duvet. Never bought one before- it's rather a confirmation that I'm getting older in my mind.

I know what you mean, Nina, even if no one else does. I bought one a couple of years ago because my old one (donated by my mother when I left home, ahh 'twas the last thing she gave me save a kiss on my taut, wind-frosted cheek etc.) was getting, to use the technical term, a bit knackered.

I skipped along to my local supermarket, of all places, where they were selling big fluffy ones for a tenner. Yes, at the time it felt rather strange. And yes, I felt slightly older because of it. But you know what? It's ok to be older. If nothing else, it makes you realise how fucking annoying kids can be.

It's not necessarily a bad feeling, just a weird one!!

22:52 / 08.04.05
Indeed. But sure hey, some people spend good money in search of a weird feeling, at least this one was cheaper than bungee jumping, mile high clubs, narcotic-type drugs etc.

The first duvet I ever bought was from a man who came into my office at work selling cheap "surplus hotel stock". Allegedly. For years I entertained the vaguely stressful notion that a policeman might knock on my door one night and take my bed away.

I think you only need to worry about the old factor when you start to dry clean duvets. I have not yet ever dry-cleaned one myself, but I have recently considered it. In fact today I felt very drawn to the 'rugs and duvets dry-cleaned half price' sign in the window of Johnsons. Which is worrying.

Bed, what is it with men and emptying bins? What's the difficulty factor?!

Suggestion; either begin thinking about emptying the bin when it becomes a third full because that way you might actually have convinced yourself to do it by the time it is full, or do what I did and buy a huge bin, which temporarily alleviates the problem.

Watching "Where The Buffalo Roam," loafing, contemplating my advanced state of loser-being and how cute my new haircut is.

I emptied my bin today, olulabelle. Guess I must be the exception rather than the rule, after all ...

Yum. I just made and ate my newest culinary creation of Chocolate Chicken Chili. Gawd, was that ever good.

I am also somehow stuck watching Joan of Arcadia.

I took a duvet to be dry cleaned after my cat pissed on it. Well it's funny now...

I've been playing with this comic book page I drew using Paintshop. The results weren't quite what I was going for, but I'm learning a great deal.

Now, I'm super-tired, and I'm off to get ready for bed.

Mr Slightly, not yet Mrs The Ball, however she said yes, so I'm dropping the (TBC) for now, maybe changing it for a (TBA)...

Right now, nursing blister on toe after football yesterday, letting my hair dry in the conservatory sun post shower and checking my email/trying to recover my blogger password.

Playing with Photoshop, the wonders of which I have just discovered.

Drinking coffee, thinking about getting out of pyjamas but not anytime soon.

Wondering if I'm meant to pick a friend up at the airport even if we never actually confirmed that plan.

Wondering what the hell I'm doing here when I only got out of bed about 10 minutes ago.
