blamebramptonThe remaining Ikea shelves are up, the locals have taken care of the old bookshelf (in 15 minutes! New record time!). The books are mostly sorted, the duplicates are ready to be given away (and WHO has three copies of The Dubliners? What was I on?!) and old magazines that I have no articles in ready to be recycled.
So, after a weekend of domestic virtue, in which I even fed some friends' cats and helped a promising young writer with beta-ing, you would think that the universe would reward me with a warm inner glow.
No. Aching wisdom teeth. Sigh. And Revenge of the Sith is the only non-Olympic related thing on telly. Bah. Anything that can make Ewan MacGregor seem charisma-free is to be shunned. I am taking my book and my hot toddy and going to bed.

Even the non-Olympic channels have too much coverage on their news, which is how I developed today's irrational hatred for Michael Phelps (the poolside posing was so gauche). I'd avoid the telly, but there's a lot going on!
And YES! How did he do it? It's as though he wrote an anti-script and made anti-films. He has anti-talent!
