Coffee cheers me up
if I'm really busy and stressed, stopping for a few minutes to go and make a coffee helps a lot. Then I can carry on with whatever horribly boring work I'm doing, but with the addition of hot lovely mug of deliciousness.

The caffeine probably helps too.

I've submitted a witness statement that had blood on it (from cutting myself while prying a staple out).

I just got back from seeing Rage Against the Machine
and what could make my day better is if the effects of the awesome excess would go away. Too many potions and powders and pretty much zero sleep makes Phil a tired boy. It was awesome.

today is not going to be great
I'm ill and have an essay to do in four hours.

Make me feel better? A hot cup of tea, my blanket that has arms in it and the promise of a new Haruki Murakami book to read when I'm finished

I have a slanket!
It's just the best for playing on the xbox on a Sunday when you can't be bothered to put trousers on.

they're amazing
I don't think it's a proper Snuggie (the one like a blanket with sleeves that covers your front as well,) but it warms me up and is really soft
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:31, Reply)

Mine's called a Slanket, it's from Firebox
I think it's the same principle as a snuggy. It's black with skulls all over it because I'm a goff.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:44, Reply)

mine cost £7
from a place I wandered into by accident called Home and Living. Definitely worth it. Just a servicable dark blue though
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:45, Reply)

Ok, that sounds awesome
Off to Firebox I go!

Samurai Umbrella
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:54, Reply)

I'd love that
but it's slightly too pricy for an umbrella for me
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 11:00, Reply)

I concur
Plus I'd probably look a right tit walking down the street with it strapped to my back.

I'd go for the brolly version

Which?

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:42, Reply)

I bought myself
Kafka on the Shore yesterday. And I read Dance, Dance, Dance a couple of weeks back
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:44, Reply)

Kafka on the Shore ? Missed that one for my forward reading list.
Given that 'what's it about' is an irrelevant question with HM, what's it about?
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:47, Reply)

have only sneaked fifty pages
saving the rest for after-essay. But it's a dual storyline about a 15 year old runaway who is staying in a library, and an old man who had half his shadown taken by a mysterious illness that took his shadow, his ability to read and some brain function when he was 9 but left him with the ability to talk to cats.

Which HM books have you read? Did you enjoy the recommended ones?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 10:50, Reply)

The end-of-the-world is the only one I've read all through.
I have three others in The Pile and I've read the first chapter or so of each (possibly while still in Waterstones!) to get the flavour.

I think he is gradually

Yeah
I just read Furet's 'Interpreting the French Revolution' and now am annoyed because it was really interesting and he entirely agreed with me
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 11:32, Reply)

I'm totally gay for me
I caught myself checking me out in the mirror and I'm really looking good. I'm fucking gorgeous, me.

And I refuse to hear any different.

I used to be disappointed that it's proving so hard to shift the weight around my middle
but I've decided to be superpositive about the good bitts instead. I have super shoulders and cracking calves.

a slightly lumpy one, yes
generally I'm pleased with the difference that moving from absolutely no exercise to regular exercise has made.

I'm happy today
Because I finished second in a poker tournament last night, beating some very good players (as in regular trips to vegas) to get there.

Can't get anywhere on fucking full tilt though.

I do quite well
Try the Super Turbo single table tournaments, they're intense.

I'm a very strong live player, but I'm just too agressive for my own good online.
