I bought the same A7X shirt twice, one black with white print and the other white with black print (see above). I really need to learn some self control. Whenever I pluck up the courage to pick up the phone this week (I have serious phone-phobia) I will call my bank and request new details for my savings account, so I can hide some of my money from myself. I don’t know whether I’ll be savings for my Master’s or a flat deposit or extra driving lessons or what have you, but it doesn’t really matter.
This week’s going to take forever to piss off. I have another dreaded dentist appointment (I’m in agony, by the way – the new dentist is certainly more efficient, but she is also more deadly with the face-clamp) and graduation to contend with…as well as a jam packed work schedule. ** Original text has been deleted for privacy reasons ** Plus there’s the fact that I can’t live without money and there are no other jobs out there…c’mon lottery, it’s about time you came through for me.
I’ve got a LittleBigPlanet date with Tom later, and before that swings round I want to watch some of last year’s Australian Open highlights and read a bit more of Titus Groan. Reading Mervyn Peake’s fiction is like jumping in at the deep end with big, heavy biker boots on. I’m learning so many new words. I went to bed early last night (seriously…asleep by half nine) and my mother gave me her beasty dictionary for “light reading”. I looked up all of the words I didn’t understand in the first chapter. Maybe I should start an IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH WITH MERVYN PEAKE feature, so you can all learn along with me. The man was a human thesaurus!
Also, I’m so so SO glad the tennis season is starting up again! In fairness, it doesn’t feel like it ever stopped. Asutralian Open coverage starts at midnight!! Bring it on!! Ah yes, and kudos to Federer for arranging a fundraising event for Haiti (link may be restricted if you’re not a member of ONTD Tennis). 
I just like the mental image of him texting Rafa, asking him to join in. So sweet.
I’ll leave with you this awesome video of Serena, Roger and Kim having fun, and Rafa taking everything super seriously:
Bless him!
