I'm done with over 75% of my Christmas shopping. Now I can enjoy my Jagatee in peace...
The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

I had the most hilarious afternoon with my mother. She was telling me that it took her 2 hours to get home from work last Tuesday because she offered to help a disabled man with a broken down mobility scooter! She had to push him up a hill! Then I went to help her with the laptop and broadband she has had for a couple of weeks. She didn't use the wireless hub installation cd because the instructions said to "insert the cd into the computer" and she has "a laptop, which isn't a computer"!! So, despite paying for broadband for the last few weeks, she has been accidentally using her neighbours WiFi. It makes you realise how much technology stuff our generation has simply absorbed.

An awesome surprise-party yesterday! I really have best friends in the world... Although I must say I'm a bit scared now that I know they're all such skilled liars... I didn't suspect anything! Even Mr. B, whose nose always turns red when he attempts to lie, managed to keep a straight face for the past two weeks... Oh, I love them all sooooo much...

I found a palaeolithic flint hand axe the size of my hand at work on friday.
I went out to check out a site where foundations are being dug for houses, and found it in the upcast spoil, along with flint cores and flakes - it's really nice black flint, and is in exactly the same condition as when it was lost or discarded, 10,000+ years ago. It's definitely the largest flint tool I've found, even if one corner is broken off. (which is prob'ly why it was discarded in the first place.)
It's making me happy today too!

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

roll on christmas.
oh and i am practising for my first ever archery competition this saturday and nearly died last friday night but my superb skills at driving saved me from certain death in horrendous rain.

Went to see Public Enemy last night.
I was so afraid it would suck, as most hiphopconcerts do, imho... 1.5 hour wait for the uninspired roadie to put the water bottles in place, 15 minutes of trashtalk by an unknown mc about how we're going to see the one and only motherfucking masters and aren't worth their spit, followed by a megalomaniac announcement that once again proclaims we're lowly suckers and then barely 50 minutes of uninspired concert before they walk of stage again, you know the drill.
Turns out I was completely wrong. The obligatory shoutouts and 'we love Amsterdam's asides, they filled over 2 hours and at a crazy pace, too, did the entire 'it takes a nation of millions...' record. Woot.
