Now Playing: Tom Waits - Real Gone
Topic: Stephen Says
It's been a while since there's been any real news. I'm laying low because my old manager has it out for me after springing the whole awards thing on him and he knows that I'm hard to embarass so I'm pretty much just watching my back and being innately suspicious of any phone calls from people whose voices I don't recognize.
I've been to the Optomitrist for the 1st time in years and the good news is that my eye-sight hasn't changed. The maybe bad news is that I've gone and bought new glasses and they're a pretty big style change and I don't know if I've gone and done very bad with them. They're insured at the very least so if Elisabeth walks through the door tonight and looks aghast, I can arrange a little accident with them. I'm also claiming them on my health insurance policy which is pretty cool because I bought an astronomically expensive pair that I'll pay very little towards from my own pocket.
So yeah, we're off to Italy tomorrow and I'm also looking forward to the few hours we'll get in Paris. My mission: (1)Eat noting but pizza while in Rome and (2)buy a new pair of shades because the pair that I got in the U.S. just seem to be getting uglier and uglier by the day.
I'm also procrastinating while working on my NVQ assignment. I keep thinking what a nice day it is and how I should go out again. Maybe pick up a paper and go to the pub. In fact, I will.
See you all on Monday or Tuesday.
