You're so vain.

Life is domesticity. Is good.

Down the pub with [livejournal.com profile] pndc on Friday. First some Soho wanker pub with off Old Peculier, then one of the zillion Sam Smiths thereabouts, then the Kings' Arms, a bear pub. We felt odd being clean-shaven. Probably the only gay pub you'll find them giving two hoots about the real ale.

[livejournal.com profile] arkady has gone to Wales for the week, so Freda can meet her sisters.

My mother Helen is visiting London for a fortnight. She visited Antarctica at Christmas and showed us photos. THOUSANDS OF PENGUINS.

MySpace fills the vast consumer demand for the opportunity to make home pages that look like a smurf on acid threw up. Its core audience is the same people who twenty years ago got a Mac and used nineteen fonts in every document.

"Teenagers are MySpace"

In passing, I note that "Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace" turned up on today's reading list...

I'm sorry. It's not even a proper academic article - it's just a random essay. You have very lazy teachers..

We had a whinge about it yesterday. Twas all over the news..

Not so much lazy teachers as indiscriminate ones...

In my defence, yesterday was a day of power outages and internet outages and chavs-coming-through-the-back-door-to-find-a-laptop-and-taking-it, er, out-ages. I think I missed the interesting stuff.
