Yes yes I'm sorry I've not posted in...*checks* three weeks. In all fairness, I've...uh, well, okay, no, I've actually got no excuse, I'm just really lazy. Fuck off.

*winning smile*

I'm not going to bother writing up Bloodstock, because - da da-da daaa! - Lorn and I are talking about it on the first edition of our upcoming podcast, details to follow when we're less lazy. Eheheheh. In any case, saves me writing a stupidly long post here.

I'm home alone right now - parents are in Liverpool Saturday - Tuesday, which is very agreeable. I've been watching Buffy, eating cookie dough icecream, and doing Tredoku. This is also what I'll do for five years as a student. WOOP WOOP.

I've been correcting the observations made about Britain in Buffy. Eheheh. By shouting at the screen. Um.

IT'S MATHS NOT MATH FFS AS IN MATHEMATICS ARE YOU SOME SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID.

Yeah, so. Um. What else has happened in the past three weeks? Umm. IDK. I have discovered that there's basically no dignified way to finish eating a Magnum. You know when you've eaten most of it, and you've just got that kind of shelf of chocolate at the bottom with some icecream on top? How do you eat that? If you eat the chocolate bit the icecream'll fall off, but it's hard to eat the icecream because you basically end up deepthroating the stick. OH, THE DILEMMA. This must be how Obama feels in the situation room.

I'd really forgotten how much I love Buffy. The show, not the character. Every time a character I recognise makes a first appearance I'm like YEEEE JONATHAN/SPIKE/DRUSILLA/OZ YEEEE. I'm glad no-one's home, frankly, because they'd probably have had me sectioned by now. I'd not blame 'em.

I've been getting quite a lot of reading done, which is nice. I've finished off Susan Jacoby's "The Age of American Unreason," which was actually very interesting. I didn't agree with everything she said - I do think that videogames and the internet constitute culture, and I'm pretty sure "liking dead Greeks who thought about stuff" doesn't automatically translate to "being smart and educated." I'm reasonably fond of several dead thinky-Greeks but I don't think they're the be all and end all of intellect or culture. I'm not really of a mood to write a proper response to the book right now - and what I just said makes it sound as if I enjoyed it far less than I actually did, because aside from maybe the last chapter I agreed with everything she wrote and enjoyed the way she wrote it. In any case, it's an excellent book, and totally worth reading. Therefore, buy!

I'll stop here, for fear of this turning into one of those distressingly frequent stream-of-consciousness catch-up posts. I'll leave you with my enduring unease at the fact that we have Waitrose baked beans in our cupboard. I'm not sure why we've got a more expensive, horrendously upper-middle-class, and yet inferior-tasting product rather than our standard but it's a little creepy. It's not like Heinz is unavailable all of a sudden?
