The Importance of Being Idle

Good News/Bad News

Well the good news is that my head didn't pop off, at least it hasn't yet. I don't suppose its one of those things you can definitively say isn't going to happen because there is always the off-chance that it might. At the time of writing however, head still fixed to shoulders. Which is nice.
Bad news... well it's related to my excellent not spending any money plan. Nope, I still haven't spent any money un-necessarily or necessarily as it turns out. The problem with not going shopping, with not buying proper (or at least as proper as it gets with me) food, with not having an even half-way decent meal, is that I begin to devour all the junk that I do have in the house with all the abandon of a plague of particularly hungry locusts. None of what I have even vaguely resembles food, none of it is either nourishing or filling, but I'm eating it anyway. Hell remarkably little of it is even fun, there's no chocolate at all, and precious little ice-cream. All I know is that whilst I may have succesfully avoided the temptation to buy games or books or DVDs or CDs that I don't really need (I want pretty much everything, so need is the only reasonable distinction I can muster), I am eating too much junk (in fact I think I'm eating pretty much all my junk) all because I couldn't be bothered to risk going out to buy a loaf of bread...
If there's a moral to the story I don't know what it might be, I'm terrible at working out morals. Feel free to supply your own. Who knows, there may even be a prize for the best one.
