Long ago in 1993 I did Communication Studies A level
in which we discussed the internet of 'Information Super Highway' as it was then known. I was the only person there who'd used it or had an email address.

The discussion got ridiculous about what it would allow you to do. The highlight, I remember, was when some joker claimed we'd all be ordering pizza via our computers and we'd never leave the house and die in melted pizza-shaped puddles on the toilet.

I just ordered pizza on the internet, almost exclusively for this reason. This is our rocket car mother fuckers!

Tell me about living in the future in the present and how steampunk is the fake past in the future.

What I can say is that 'Steampunk' is fucking pathetic. Just stop it, you embarrassing turds.

I just paid my phone bill.
£160. At least I have a phone again. Oh wait no I don't, the cunting thing's broken and Vodafone said it will take fourteen days for it to be repaired.
And I got a letter from my letting agents today telling me I need to pay the first months rent of £300. By Thursday. Thanks for the considerable notice. Great day so far.
EDIT: My mum's also 'misplaced' my Persol shades. I know they'll never turn up again.

What I just read:
"oh no! I have big bills, this sucks, I spent all my money on expensive sunglasses!"

harsh, admittedly
but I just don't get the expensive sunglasses thing

I've had them for months, I didn't buy them instead of paying bills.
Plus I used the money from a completely unexpected bursary to pay for them. I got £500 out of the blue and spent £120 on the sunglasses, because they're ace. So it was like I got them and £380 for free.

I did that.
Got some emergency money from Uni and then went to a skateshop in Cardiff and spunked quite a bit of it.
