The Importance of Being Idle

Yummy Pizza, But Doomsday Closer

The pizza went really well. I liked it anyway, so I'll definitely be making more (if only for me!). It was surprisingly easy and inexpensive to do too, makes you wonder how pizza restaurants get away with selling these things for a tenner (or more!) a shot.
Archie really didn't like his food yesterday, but as I type he's actually eating some of it, so maybe he's just giving in and accepting that this is how it is for a while. Poor little fluff.
There's some mad shit going on in the news at the moment. In Sony's continued effort to destroy their gaming division they've re-assessed the European price of the still delayed PS3, and decided to make it even more expensive. Clearly they think Europe is a continent dusted with a light covering of silver, where we all sit on our (very uncomfortable) diamond sofas eating nuggets of gold off platinum plates. They are very mistaken, at least in this house they are. So, really that's just more of Sony's bullshit. More seriously the Doomsday clock was moved forward two minutes yesterday, making it now at five to midnight, which is basically time to say a last goodbye to everyone you liked 'cos it's nearly all over. More interestingly yesterdays move was the first one not caused by political tension or nuclear proliferation, but by climate change. in utterly bizarre news, something that's happening in the Celebrity Big Brother house is causing something of an international incident. Now Big Brother is a hateful thing, celebrating the most pitiful of human specimens and reducing our collective IQs with every second of it's miserable coverage, and "Celebrity" Big Brother is arguably worse. At the moment are suffering the unedifying spectacle of huge amounts of casual racism from British contestants towards an Indian celeb. Now I hate racism in all it's forms, but in a lot of ways the unthinking, "oh it's okay everybody does it around here" bullshit of casual racism is one that I find particularly offensive and try to challenge at every opportunity. This however isn't something that's just being confined to British TV though. It is unfortunately coinciding with our government visiting India in an attempt to strengthen trade links, and it's becoming something of a problem, with ministers being questioned over Britain's apparently racist attitudes. We can only hope that a few arseholes who shoulda been drowned at birth don't wreck relations with a potential trading partner, eh?
This afternoon I have to go to the doctors and get my sick note reviewed, hopefully for the last time! As per usual I worry that I'll be told I'm fine, even though I know I'm not. But I am getting there, and I hope I will be fine soon! That'd be nice, eh?
