harrumpf!

I predict that today will be a corker: I am looking at the date and wondering if I know any numerologists who will be able to do something with 24/9/08 or its variants to come up with Friday 13th or some unlikely but equally unlucky combination.

I realised, far too late to do anything about it, that I have forgotten to take my meddies today, so there is nothing but happenstance to prevent my head exploding before I go home tonight, nothing to stop my blood pressure from building to unacceptable levels, my face getting redder and redder and my head expanding like a balloon at Mardi Gras¹. On the other hand, it is clear that the Karma Pixies truly believe in balance in all things, so it appears that I am running out of coffee. I suspect that having less coffee will be a little like pushing a couple of control rods back into the reactor, but at the same time it will make a long day seem interminable².

I am consoling myself by burrowing through a bag of roasted cashew nuts and I don’t care who knows it.


¹These are universally acknowledged symptoms of high blood pressure. According to cartoon time.

²Assuming I don’t doze off because of caffeine deprivation.

Clevor Trever

I was interrupted earlier when I was trying to make a post and subsequently abandoned it as I’d lost my train of thought. As a regular reader of this tome you will know that I only post about those things that are of the most paramount importance and for that, I have to have my train of thought intact and fully inflated.

So.

A while back I pre-ordered the Iron Man movie DVD from play.com and today I thought I’d have a quick look to see when it’s due. I logged on, found my order and was annoyed (slightly) to find that the release date is not shown with the order, so I had to browse the product list. The order is for Iron Man (2008) so that is what I typed into the DVD search box. What I was going to grumble about earlier, with a greater level of nark than now, was the fact that a search for Iron Man (2008) brings up the message (along the lines of) “We are unable to find the product you are looking for. The nearest match we can find is” – followed by a list of possible alternatives. The closest match they could find was er… Iron Man (2008).

And I’ve damned well forgotten when it’s being released. End of October, I think…
