- one of my colleagues was self sufficient for SEVEN YEARS! How wonderful. She grew fruit and vegetables, kept chickens and bartered for anything else that was needed. She said that it was the most carefree, enjoyable time of her life. I feel an allotment coming on.
- I just simply cannot work in an office all day. I had one of my rare office days today, and I struggled. Someone drilled the pavement incessantly outside of the window. I wanted to pick up the laminating machine and throw it straight through said window and off their head. I'm not a violent person. I did achieve a few things today, but then amused myself by creating pictoral diagrams, updating my email address list, talking about self-sufficiency, etc., etc. I ate my lunch by 11.45 a.m. just for something to do.
- I don't care what anyone says, "Black Swan" just isn't my cup of tea. My friends are divided into two categories: those who think it's wonderful, and those who think it's weird. I'm afraid I fall into the latter.
At this present moment, as I type, Natalie Portman is prising her toes apart. The skin between them has moulded together, so she only has three toes on each foot instead of five. No, thanks. I'm probably missing the irony of it all, or something. I'm probably not intelligent enough to understand the emotions being conveyed. I don't care, it's absolute piffle.
- Little pretty birdies are nesting along the path where I walk Toby. Look at their lovely nest. They're absolute geniuses (or is it genii?)
The goddess that is Elizabeth Taylor has sadly passed away. She of the violet eyes and heart-shaped face. Oscar winner and AIDS campaigner. I loved her best in "National Velvet". RIP Liz.
Fact of the day: The budget on "Black Swan" was so tight that when star Natalie Portman had a rib dislocated during a lift and she called the producer for help, she was told that the budget was so low they had no medic. She stated that if they needed to cut items from the budget they could take away her trailer, instead of the medic. The next day her trailer was gone.
LOL. This post is so funny Emma. I really enjoyed reading it. My dream is to be self-sufficient and I got as far as having two chickens running around my back garden. Sadly one of them departed to the great chicken run in the sky a few months ago, and the other one has gone to live with the chickens at The Jonas Centre as she lonely here after her pal had gone.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about working in an office too. I did office work for more years than I can think of and hated every moment. I may be a poor struggling writer now, but I would rather be that than be stuck in an office day in and day out.
Have a good day:-)
