Now Playing: The fat, bearded blow-hole weekday morning talk show host
Busy, busy, busy. That's the word of the day.
It's Elisabeth's busy season at work and she's not allowed to have a full day off. Me and mom have been doing the tourist thing in London (The typical Stephen & Elisabeth deal: British Musum, Tate Modern, Markets & Speakers Corner).
The good news is that all my blood sacrafices to the ancient Chinese God of jobs, PeiDei have paid of and I'll be starting a 3 month contract at the local book store. Not the lucrative assistant managerial job that I was hoping for but, with our debt laconically spiraling out of control, I'm not in a postion to play the waiting game - hopefully they'll still want me around in January. If all goes well (And it should - I mean, is it feasaby possible to get fired from a book store?) we'll be debt free in the UK by the new year.
Which is how we started off this year, which means that in 2005 we can, at least, resume building up debt all over again (It's always more fun at the beginning because you actually think you can pay it off) and this time we can do it with even more style!
