Wow, new Blogger has a commenting system! That's exciting. It'll e-mail me when people comment and everything. Excellent!
I ought to update my template. And change that wallpaper link. That'd mean finding a new wallpaper for my PC, probably. What a terrible chore. :)
So, what have I done this week? On Monday Rob, Ali and I went to look at a flat to rent. We thought a flat would be good for our first home, since it'd be cheaper, and we could save for a deposit to buy a house. Besides, a little way in the future we might know what area we'd want to live in, or what we'll be doing with our lives in the way of work, and other things, because buying a house is a more permanent kind of thing.
Drat, I pressed the wrong key on the laptop. I'll have to retype things.
Tuesday was the church housegroup thing.
Yesterday Rob and I were supposed to go to to our marriage preparation course, which would be the second session. But we didn't, because Rob wasn't feeling well. I wasn't that sad about it, since it's terrifying..! But I'd kind of made my brain accept the fact I was going to have to do it. Last week we learned about communication. Ooer. I reckon we'd be fine communicating if we used PC's all the time, not that we're bad at it now. But I'm better at putting my thoughts down into typed words than anything else. We'd have never started dating without MSN, after all.
Ah, what a sad geeky world I inhabit.
Today I had to go and see the nurse, because I signed up at a new doctor's surgery. It took ages for me to manage that, since last time I tried nowhere was accepting new patients. But Ali phoned up her surgery again and this time it was okay. So I went there. The nurse had to take my blood pressure twice because the first time it was too high. I was a bit nervous. :)
I have another scary doctor visit next week though, now, because I'm going to talk about anti-baby pills.
Now that's scary.
Hmm, that's about it.
One other thing that I wanted to talk about was the Lynx Dry mermaid adverts. Not the TV one, which is easy to find on the web, but the billboard ads. They're on nearly every bus shelter at the moment, it seems. Anyway, I don't understand mermaids. If they reproduce like fish, why do they need breasts? But on one of the posters you can see where there should be nipples, and there aren't any, so they can't be anything other than cosmetic. And how come they seem paler than the rest of the mermaid's torso? That would make sense if they were wearing bras, but they're not. I don't understand...
I can't believe I'm talking about mermaids breasts. ;)
I'd better go now!
Comment if you dare. :D
I have been mostly.... READING: edge magazine; utopia (lincoln child) / LISTENING: liquid skin (gomez)
Mermaids breasts? What can I say about that, hmm, tough that one.
ReplyDeleteThe main thing I've wondered about that advert is whether the guy was disappointed that he'd resisted when he looked round and saw the mermaids.
Well, that was a deep and insightful comment. I thank you.
