The ramifications of the transatlantic octopus

[todayiamadaisy]

Last week was such a hateful week and I managed to write five entries here; this week was so much better and I haven't managed any. Interesting. Anyway, here are six things about the last seven days:

1. Amazon is extremely keen for me to read Garth Nix; he's got the top six spots on the list of books recommended for me, and features prominently in the emails they send too. So I'm not going to read him, just to spite them.


2. Doing research for an essay, I came across the phrase "the ramifications of the transatlantic octopus". It was in reference to American influences on British broadcasting, but I think it would also be an excellent title for a cheesy monster film.


3. I bought a labeller (one of those that embosses the letters onto a coloured plastic strip) and have labelled just about everything that sits still. I haven't been this excited since I bought a date stamp.


4. Despite several days in hospital, dentistry and a bowel investigation, Miss Pink is still off colour. She has started a new course of antibiotics, so that might do the trick. *fingers crossed*


5. At work, we have taken possession of our new strap-on breasts. We're soon going to have enough body parts to make our own plastic person.


6. If there's one thing in the world I don't find funny, it's Mr Bean.
