How should we motivate ourselves to grab this short week by the nuts?

As predicted really
I did some house work, and generally fucked around.

I did practice cooking duck, though, and had it three times during the weekend.

I also went to the craft show and got bogged down in a swamp. I was pulled out by a truck. It was quite humiliating at the time, but the guy said he had pulled fifty people out the day before.

In a way
I get a holiday allocation, that I can use more or less any time throughout the year. My employer doesn't observe bank holidays, although I could take them if I wanted. But I prefer to save them up and have a longer summer break.

Anyway, some people were off yesterday, so I got more done, and had less hassle with traffic on the roads.

Wasn't a fan of the 3D. It didn't really bring anything to the film other than make me dizzy watching the fight scenes.

his current stuff, the Alison Krauss stuff and the Strange Sensation, is new and fresh and really very good.

I'm really not fond of his girly, high-pitched shrieking on Led Zep records. Now that he's dropped an octave or two I think he's got a much better tone.

EDIT: And I'd agree with Monty re Hawkwind. Mind you, I thought they started losing it circa PXR5 when they let Bob Calvert read his poetry over the music.

i was grabbing the week by the nuts
filling in the last bit of divorce paperwork. Then, as I picked it up the radio played a melancholy song called "All The Divorces". I think my life is becoming a film

ah, tis OK, it's a good thing really
but there is a sharp contrast between going to get married where all your friends are around you and everything is pretty and special, and going for a divorce, where you go to an office full of bored people no your own. Done now, maybe one more week until I am officially free

Seen the divorce cakes people have been getting?

i think every occasion should have cake. Although I've celebrated applying for Decree Absolute by getting a pasty and some woucester sauce crisps. I totally know how to party
