Angry Walrus Is Angry

Hello my dear

This is a picture of an angry walrus, and for reasons I am too busy to analyse, I find it totes awesome and hilarious. 

My dear, I would tell you news of the Homeland but I'm afraid I've spent the last two weeks in 18th Century England. Sometimes it surprises even me how much I would rather be getting down with my Georgian self. I watched a BBC dramatisation of Clarissa last night and it was incredibly melodramatic - quite amazingly so. I should have probably read more about the novel before I watched it. But I was blinded by the costumes on the cover, rendering me unable to make an informed choice of DVD. I started watching another BBC dramatisation too - Vanity Fair. If you only watch one BBC dramatisation, may I suggest you go for this one? It's fab.

Mostly otherwise I have been saving money, knitting, spinning and making underwear. What a busy wee life I have.

Some other things:

1. Today I have nominated as a "Buy Nothing" day. I like the idea of having one of these at least once a week.
2. I complained about somebody I have to deal with and my boss tried to talk to me reasonably and explain the situation. And I was like "NO. I'm just COMPLAINING".
3. The problem really comes down to the fact that when I'm at work I hate talking to people on the telephone. SO. BAD. Shannon is always telling me I should get the hell over this. My boss, apparently, agrees.
4. I'm working up a new list of things to finish before the end of the year - ten more things for 2010?
5. I am super enthused about my own blog at the moment hence my neglect of YOOOU.
6. I am listening to National Radio at the moment, and I've just realised how similar Sarah McLachlan is to Tory Amos. I used to love Tory Amos. Also, I love Kate Bush at the moment. She's so awesome.

Alright, I'm going to go and get boring on my own. And maybe make some phone calls (glare, annoyance, etc).
