| I think if I knew who-ta-hell Rivers Cuomo was, AND I met him, he would like me. |

| random moment: i've just sent an sms from Lycos and you have to type in a randomly generated "spam protection number" - and the number was my work extension number.
Another similarly bizarre thing is the last 5 digits on my passport number are my mum and dad's phone number, when there is absolutely no connection between the two (the passport number is something to do with the date issued).
It's things like this that make me believe there is some big conspiracy in the world.
Or maybe not. |

| Three-quarters of an hour-ish until I go home and it is suddenly started raining sideways. Oh goody. I'm wearing sandals and haven't brought a coat with me because it was nice this morning. Oh, goody, goody. |

| Had my hair dyed on Saturday. I usually do it at home but I had the chance to get it done for free at a hairdressers so the eternal cheapskate in me jumped at the chance. Unfortunately the hairdresser and me both misjudged how fair the front/top of my hair has got in the sun so while it is a nice colour at the back it is *kinda* bright at the front. I make Molly Ringwald, circa Sixteen Candles, look like an mousy-haired mouse. Dammit, I'll never get a greasy bo-hunk now. |

| Man, it's one of those times when I want to cut my own head off with something blunt - I've had two songs stuck in my head ALL DAY, Take That's 'Relight my Fire' (the Lulu bit in particularly) and the All Saints "I know that you want a piece of my ass" one. I don't know why I can't stop singing them because I haven't heard either of them for ages and it is hardly as if they were memorable musical masterpieces. Plus, I'm scared of flame and therefore would not want to relight any fire and I certainly don't want any All Saints' ass. Grrrr.
But hey, the Ruffnecked Judge has finally got himself a job so woohoo! I can stop stressing about that now and get back onto stressing about lame-o pop songs.... |

| Have I ever said how much I love my office? My lovely, cool office? My lovely, cool office that never gets any sun so doesn't get ridiculously hot on days like today? My lovely, cool office in my lovely, cool building so that I can forget how unpleasant it is oustide?
I'm not a big fan of hot weather: theory - it is a lot easier to make yourself warmer on a cold day than cooler on a hot day. Plus, I worry about how hot the cats are in their fur coats on days like today. I don't mind clean hot days, when it is sunny and there is an obvious reason why it is warm but on humid, overcast days like today, it is just vile. < /britishness and weather speak > |

| We finally met one of our neighbours on Saturday night - one of the Ally McBeal clones who live across the road from us. She, with the help of the mad but nice old hippy who lives next door to her, was trying to track down some Imodium as she was feeling a little "unwell" but had a big night out planned (presumably a Vonda Sheppard gig). We were desperate to shout across the road to her: "no, we don't have any, sorry. We can keep control of our bowels" but we restrained ourselves (which was more than she could probably do..). As a sweet closer to this story, we noticed a sudden washing of bed sheets on Sunday... hahahaha.
I don't know what it is but there is something so amusing about up-themselves binty blondes getting diarrhoea and then having a code brown situation. No, wait a second, I DO know why it is so funny. |

| Parents-in-law-if-we-were-married tried to take us out for a meal last night but we didn't know and had already been out for some tapas. We were contemplating having a second meal (as I did when they took us out for his 21st birthday - but I didn't find out I was going until the last minute) but we were both too full. Still, they've said they'll take us out some other time instead. Bit of a d'oh though.
AND, it has just started to rain, for the first time all day, just as I am planning to go home. Bit more of a d'oh.
No gun obsessed lesbian actresses in my dreams last night, so disappointed. Even more of a d'oh. |

| Had a weird Logan's Run dream last night (with the "gems" in hands and everything). For some reason, I wanted to escape the oppressive gem-in-hands world and found a resistance group, that had set up an alternative, secret society, using a hole in the floor underneath my mum and dad's living room rug as the entrance to this utopia.
Then there was a time jump, and I was happily living in this other place and it had grown so much that its town centre had run-down parts and an Oxfam and a Gregg's bakery. But I got the sense that the world that we had all escaped knew about us and were going to launch an attack so we should defend our selves. I wandered all around the town centre trying to find a shop that might be able make weaponary. Then in a moment of solace, I was walking down a corridor to the outskirts of the settlement, which now was rather handily surrounded by a ring of mountains, when I bumped into Jorja Fox - an actress who always plays gun obsessed lesbians (by always, I mean, once or perhaps twice). She told me that if I, the real life pacifist, pushed forward with my idea to arm the society then we would become just like the Logan Run world that we escaped. Then we got kidnapped by the Logan's Run people and it got kinda hazy.
I'm sure this has really deep meaning or something but all I know is that next time I go to my mum and dad's house, I'm checking for secret societies under the living room rug... |

| Had a Benny Hill-esque moment last night when I was trying to get one of the cats in (the agrophobic - refuse to go out but if you can convince her to go out, she doesn't want to come back in again: logically, because late evening/night time is the quietest therefore best time for her to be out, illogically because she is really a psychology researcher in disguise as a little cat testing to see how long she can wind me up for by depriving me of sleep by staying out late and clawing the inside of my nose to wake me up, before I snap).
ANYWAY, back to the story. She, and therefore I, was in the park next to our house at about midnight and I decided enough was enough and tried to pick her up. She ran off. I ran after her. She started running in a figure of eight around two trees. I started running in a figure of eight around two trees, arms outstretched, hands in "grab" position. Someone nearby started playing some comical music, slightly speeded up. It was quite farcical. I was waiting for several large-breasted blondes to show up in nurses/french maid/school girl costumes to show up...
I gave up after about ten minutes and went inside. She wandered in of her own accord a few minutes later. There is a lesson to be learnt here but I'm not sure what; it may involve boobs though... |
