Yesterday, turned another corner…and it was good… 🙂
Today, while The Missus is away on business in Denmark, I am going to be a good boy and do my work. 🙁
Tomorrow, I am awaiting delivery of a new vacuum cleaner. As chief vacuum operative at Chez Lock, I have had a consistant problem with my vacuum duties. You may scoff, but I’ve got through 4 cleaners in as many years. It could be down to my manly, vigourous vacuum style. Or it could be that these machines are C-R-A-P. And so, I took the plunge and ordered once of those fancy Dyson models. It looks like something from the future and the reviews I have read say that it can suck like a Thai whore on double-time. <---- Ewwww, crude analogy there, Darren. Try again, OK - it sucks like winning a competition to see free concerts for life but you can only see Elton John and Celine Dion and the prize is non-transferable... So tomorrow, plenty of sucky-sucky with the Dyson and then when the Missus gets back from her trip, I can wow her with the clean carpets. Awww, crap. When did my life go down the toilet? How is it that getting the carpets clean suddenly becomes the highlight of my week? Where did my life go wrong...? Oh well, at least I'm not Brian Harvey, who managed to successfully run himself over in his own car. That either takes incredible skill or incredible stupidity. Whatever way, I kinda feel sorry for him. I read that this pelvis has been shattered and pushed up into his abdomen. Ouch – that’s gonna hurt come winter.
In the post:
A 1Gb Memory card for the Sony PSP I purchased while in Las Vegas. Now there’s a story, dear friends. I read that you could buy a PSP in the Sony Shop at Ceasar’s Palace and on getting there found they were sold out. I then forced the Missus to come with me on a mission around the malls of Las Vegas to see if I could buy a PSP. They were like hen’s teeth. But at the end of the week, I decided to try again and during my trek, I saw a dwarf. Now I know it sounds terribly un-PC, but whenever I see a dwarf (or person of restricted growth) I always feel incredibly happy. I think it has something to do with one of my favourite films being “Time Bandits”. But I’ve come to believe that seeing a dwarf is a sign of luck. So I headed back to the Sony Style shop in Caesar’s Palace and – lo and behold – the PSP was in stock. Me and the Missus had to beat back a smelly, loud, aggressive French family to buy our little beauty, but the return trip was worth it. I am such a sucker for new technology and gadgetry. 🙂
