I couldn’t care less”

With these words, John Bolton, ex-US ambas­sador to Chess­ing­ton World of Stu­pid­ity, has gone up amaz­ingly in my hard-to-be-amazed esti­ma­tion. The fact that he turned his inter­vie­wee (sorry, her name escapes me but she’s Not Jeremy Pax­man and Not Sophie Raworth) into David Caruso and she had to con­duct the rest of the inter­view with her head tilted at a 60 degree angle just made the whole thing bet­ter. She bet­ter be ask­ing decent ques­tions or she be get­ting capped in the ass by the Mala Noche/BoJo for Majoris gang (Ed Sturton).

Not much to report to report on the novel — been con­cen­trat­ing on run­ning and var­i­ous domestic/professional mat­ters that I can­not dis­cuss. Not even on here. To myself. In a care­less whis­per. Not in that way though. Or a sug­ges­tive whis­per. Or Wis­pas. Or any form of choco­late, Bel­gian or oth­er­wise. Espe­cially not any Brazil­ian choco­late which any fule no is covered’n’pubes. Tis true. It’s the law. Floss your tange. Any­hoo. One of these days I will be a proper lit­tle blog­ger and go and com­ment on other people’s blogs and do it all prop­erly like whats I does for wuk and stufs. And then I will be hav­ing been pop­u­larz. Hai! I be your frenz! Make me your lol­blog! Jelly! Cut me for I bleed satire.

Oh yes.

Sigh. So — in char­ac­ter dri­ving news.… excel­lent poten­tial two days ago in the man that was secretly read­ing the bible in a PSP case. (Seri­ously. I almost broke the car­di­nal rule and spoke to him. But like any good cit­i­zen jour­nal­ist I sucked it up for blog­ging later. Inter­ac­tion is over­rated after all. And does noth­ing for your Tech­no­ra­tiOfThe­P­ops). Who else? The women dis­missed as ‘vac­u­ous’ by an old cou­ple who were forced to sit apart by virtue of turn­ing up later than the for­mer and so hav­ing to lis­ten to two old friends catch up. Ok, so one of them explained she was play­ing korf­ball to ‘expand her social net­work’, which is a bit like say­ing you like to drink Swar­fega. But never mind. There’s been a few too many fair­weather Big Issue sell­ers around. And Jose Luis Her­nan­dex — Pres­i­dent of Polaris World. He’s my new spe­cial friend — Barry Scott isn’t return­ing my calls.

Who else? Umm — the guy at the gym whose job it is to mar­shall the equip­ment got his chance to be a PT today as peo­ple are on hols. But his reward was a spin­ning class with only one par­tic­i­pant. And I’ve made a new friend at work. He’s called Brian and is a jiffy bag in Third Life. In Sec­ond Life he wants to be a coconut.

Always the coconuts. Bah. I was much fun­nier ten hours ago. It’s much harder with­out an audience.

Ask me a question.…
