It's Sunday night right now and I've got so much to tell you that I've ended up with nothing to say. Does that make any sense?
I've got a list of about ten subjects that I might write a post, or ten posts about.
There's the Muse gig on Friday night. I might write a post or I might just tell you that it was absofuckinglutely fanfuckingtastic. The latter method is probably far more descriptive than I could manage if I tried to get all reviewerish.
There's the tangential story about A and K's behaviour at the gig and how I wondered if I was a cool or an embarrassing Dad. But that's for another time, maybe when I've decided which one.
Or you might be interested in A and her purchase of the four inch high heels. If you're one of the female type who reads around in these parts I think you'll chuckle at and relate to my tale of watching her try to get used to her first pair of high heels, for a party on Saturday night, how I looked at her with that parental mix of horror, love, fear and pride.
My thoughts on watching the Sri Lankan woman on TV the other night, on "Come dine with me", might interest you. She won the competition yet made herself look like an idiot and I pondered on how an individual in a foreign country tends to represent their home territory, in a rather ambassadorial sort of way.
The Dear sixteen year old me thing seems to be tagging along quite nicely. I must admit I'm quite proud of it, though it wasn't my idea at all. It's proving interesting to see what we all think we've learned, the mistakes we've made and the good things we've done. I'm waiting for someone, just one person to announce that they'd actually had sex before they were sixteen. So far no one, not even a Blacker or a Point.
I drew up a chart this afternoon to see who's tagged who and how far it's spread. I might take a picture of it and chuck it up for all to see at some point.
But I'm just going to wish you a happy Monday and write about all this in more detail later.
So, there you go.
Happy Monday.

Happy Monday to you tooooooo..:)
that come dine with me woman was such a cow. she did a decent job cooking first and got a decent score but then she rated everyone so low afterwards it was obvious she was going to win. also, fussiest person i've ever ever seen. i hope folks watching that don't think all sri lankans are arrogant fussy wankers like her.
Thanks LD
Darwin - I only started to watch the programme about half way through, after she had done her evening. When I heard her voice and what she was saying I began to hope she wasn't Sri Lankan. Then, when I heard the commentary about her Sri Lankan meal, I thought "Ah bollocks"
