Pynchon

I had a choice last night. Blog or chores? No time for both. Chores won.

Actually, I felt quite good about making that choice. Sometimes you just have to get the mundane things done, and I felt better for it.

First I did ironing. (Lorraine has said that she doesn't mind ironing the odd shirt for me. Bollocks to that! When I broke my arm Lorraine did all of my ironing. It was a lamentable effort. Just terrible. None of the women I know can iron clothes properly. My Mom was also terrible at ironing,. She was so bad that my Dad also did his own ironing. Of course, I am being an ungrateful shit. You may reprimand me if you wish, but if you are an attractive lady, would you mind wearing a leather outfit while doing so?)

Secondly I did filing. (Most of the time I am very organised. I have folders full of receipts, statements and bills, organised by company name and date. If I need to I can lay my hands on any piece of paper generated by a purchase made by, or a service provided for, Lorraine or myself for the past 5 years. I am proud of this. OCD can have it's benefits, you know. I never lose anything and I also am obsessed with the need to know where everything is. I'm great, ain't I? And just so modest I could just shit.) I had a lot to file. All of the paper was in one pile that Lorraine has been banned from even looking at. Most of it got done.

Thirdly I did the washing up, even though I had cooked. Lorraine was watching "Innerspace" for the 9000th time. Waving the washing up liquid bottle at her was failing to get the message across. I couldn't leave the washing up. It was bugging me. I got it done.

Then it was time for "Lost" . (MINOR SPOILERS....Maps? Blast doors? Food drops? Oooh... Henry Gale? You are an interesting character, aren't you?)

I make no apologies. I love "Lost". By my calculations we have 6 E4 episodes to go. I read that the new series starts in the States in October. (Note. In the UK they show an episode every Tuesday night on Channel 4 at 10pm, with the following episode at 11pm on E4. The following episode is then broadcast on the following Tuesday night. I have been watching the double bill every Tuesday night until midnight. I think that it is worth it, but God, I was so tired today.)

So, was there anything to blog about last night? Not really.

Two nice ladies, who shall remain anonymous for the moment, but you probably know both of them, sent me emails recently. I have been pondering a suggestion from lady number one, which is a really good suggestion because she is a clever and perceptive lady, and is perfectly achievable in a couple of months time. Lady number two has made me an offer which I cannot refuse, and now I need to respond to her response to my response. Er... Yes!
