Month: September 2010

  • I used my mum’s greek salad recipe, left out the feta, exchanged basil for thyme and added wagon-wheel pasta.  Lunch!

    My Oyster Card arrived in this morning’s mail.  Mail, by the way, still scares the shit out of me when it arrives, the metal mail slot in my door clanking invasivly whenever anything is shoved through.  I’m not here enough when mail arrives to get used to it.  So I spent my morning writing and making more travel plans.  I don’t have much to to at this point, having spent the first week of September obsessing over all the details.  I want this card in my pocket when I land so that I may get on my way as soon as possible upon landing.  I don’t know how tired I’ll be so I want to be prepared.  Next: train tickets?  Second next: still way to early to start making lists.

  • I dreamed last night that I wore knee socks and they slipped down my legs such that I had to pull them up.

    I had my cable TV disconnected. There are several reasons for this. One is that Shaw keeps “dissapearing” channels on me. For example, channel 112 dissapeared in June sometime. I was angry because I had been enjoying the Seinfeld reruns they ran in the late evenings, and Boston Legal on weekends. They moved the channel to digital, which I don’t have, and replaced it with sports, which I don’t like and proptly blocked on my TV.

    The second reason I cut the cable, is because they raised the price of my package again. They’ve done this before, of course, but I thought now that I have two things vexing me in so little time, I might as well do away with it. Also, I don’t want to pay more for “dissapearing” channels. I only had basic, so there wasn’t much left to watch, anyway. And I can watch Coronation St online.

    So there.

    Oh, PS, I still have my cable internet, and I still tether my compuer to it via an actual cable. So there(2).
