Valentine - belated

Reasons why things could be better:

1) Am in the thick of revision. No time for public lice, no time for Desperate Housewives, no time for dating, not time to cruising in the underbelly of London that is Soho, no nothing (apart from of course piles and piles of not-very-exciting/not-very-horny academic material that sits around me from 10am to 9pm on most nights).
2) So, I didn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. In fact, I didn’t even realise it was anything other than an ordinary day up until about 1pm when I received a text. And from that moment on I received three further texts, a voicemail and a small card. Lucky me. In return I gave nothing. Don’t expect don’t receive is my rule for such occasions. And before you all jump on the bandwagon, it’s NOT because I’m single! It’s all a commercial ploy. Tell them you love them today or else they’ll never know! Cry the roses that are lined up against the back shelf in Sainsbury’s. A friend of mine received a £50 worth of roses in a vase from she-has-no-idea-who. The telling thing is of course, that she probably wasn’t a tenth as excited by the whole prospect as her work colleagues were. Smile.
3) Probably won’t finish the book I need to have read for my book club this coming Monday. Every time I turn a page, guilt seems to grip me from behind and well, I’m sure you can imagine what happens next.
4) Haven’t eaten out in an exciting worry-free place of late. Need to get these blasted exams over with and have myself a Merry London Time (I refer, of course, to the eating, drinking, flirting, blowing, pizza, experience).
5) Belle De Jour – Woman after my own heart, whore with a humour. Clever funny ex whore more precisely, is making a television appearance. Of course, as the literary whores you all are will know, she is anonymous. Boo Hoo. Billie Piper is tipped to play the witty Yorkshire-France-London hybrid. Now, I don’t have a problem with Billie, in fact, she’s quite a remarkable little actress even if I say so myself. It’s that ginger mole that’s attached to her I have the problem with.
6) No reply as yet for Organist/Lice giver. Though, perhaps he’s ashamed.

On a positive note:

1) Did see ‘Dreamgirls’ last night, followed by ‘Amores Perros’ (Love is a Bitch). Both very enjoyable. Jennifer Hudson all the way to the Oscars and the Mexican film, well it was at times difficult to watch but overall so clever and though provoking. And the dog fighting gave me nightmares. Do check these films out. I only recommend the best to you, dear readers.

Back to Revision. Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho.
