I-N-T-R-A-N-S-I-G-A-N-C-E

I was tired on Friday, tired by a long week and a deeply depressing conversation about the employability or otherwise of Oxbridge graduates. This left me less appreciative of Soul Mole than I usually am and it deserved, but I was still thoroughly glad I went. If only it were a little more frequent...but then if it were, maybe it wouldn't feel so special. Still, now Stay Beautiful is on hiatus again, I find myself somewhat short of clubs to attend, especially given my position.

Still exhausted on Saturday, still soldiering on...picnic time. Sunny but not too hot, ideal weather for it; in my world, on the hottest day of the year you can sit outside in a jacket like that. There was wine, and food, and half of Livejournal, and the Stick of Truth. Cute dogs passed. We retired to the Hog's Head to manufacture bearded ladies over some CCPs. I was more prissy than usual about being a human canvas, mainly because I was wearing white, but still ended up inscribed with 'GAYER.' Afterwards, I fear that I may have subjected kitty_collar and claireybiscuit to a forced march rather than the "quick walk" I promised. Still, at least the former now knows where to find her nearest library, and we discovered that illegal booze sometimes incurs an administration fee.

Sunday wasn't helped by beginning twice, and then got stranger. Every story I read from Saturday's Guardian seemed to be taking the p1ss. Liechtenstein rebranded? A penguin enclosure under threat? A book about Twenties gays by a Doctor Cocks? And then the latest issue of Promethea shattered what little remained of my bonds with reality. I resolved to hide, but the world wasn't going to let me off that easily. Now my fingers are sloughing and I'm convinced either I have spontaneous leprosy, or the layer below will finally manifest my superpowers. Or, in a terrible irony, both.

I thought it was spelled "I-N-T-R-A-N-S-I-G-E-N-C-E"?

For the first time in ages I saw some new (to me) Simpsons yesterday. One of the episodes had Lisa taking part in a national spelling contest. I don't want to completely ruin the plot for anyone reading this who hasn't seen it but while you would normally be correct, the title's from there.

Ah, I see... This "humour" that you earthlings enjoy is baffling.

Sunday began twice?

Woke up at six, which isn't quite either day. Went home past the last N buses and the first day buses, went back to sleep, woke up at noon. Kept thinking I'd gained a day somewhere.

well, at least it was an extra weekend day.

cute dogs passed

Are you refering to that massive one which was like a Sheep had bred with a big scary thing with a lot of long head. Cos that was quite frightening. Especially for my flatmate whose irrational fear of dogs combined with his mushrooms' trip at the time.

Aargh! No! All those lovely dogs and you had to remind me about the giant undead one!

The Liechtenstein article did make me laugh. I mean, I never knew it was the world's largest exporter of false teeth..

I never knew it actually looked like Americans think Europe looks. It reminded me of Latveria.

That's a very apt description, actually. It large ways, it also reminded me of some of the locations in The Lord of the Rings, as well - I forget the name, but the "city" they evacuated to Helm's Deep in The Two Towers..
