Also: Richard is a git.

Damn boy failed to get tickets for the cast & crew screening of Hitch-Hiker's, even though I told him I want him to get them whenever they're on offer if it's a film I'd ever have any interest in seeing.

He emailed me to ask if I wanted to go - on Tuesday, when he knew the laptop was broken and I wouldn't be able to read my mail! And then didn't mention it on the phone or during the hours we spent together that evening! I only read the mail today!

ARGH!

w00t!

Linda McCartney sausages and sausage rolls are officially vegan. So there is no need for me to inflict the scary Vegetarians' Choice vegan sausages on the Tim any longer ;) (I quite like them, but they're very odd. And they give me indigestion if I eat them when they've gone cold).

I have been eating teh vegan bacon all week. Now all I need is for someone to invent vegan bacon that's actually good for you... ;)

pogonophilia and other hair

One of the local free papers is having a competition for "Kingston's Best Beard". On the basis that Richard is both beardy and a Kingston resident, it's obvious that he needs to be entered in this. So I am trying to write the nomination for him, and squash it into a teeny little web box. So far the best I've come up with is:

I would like to nominate Richard because he has been a consistent beard-wearer for 10 years - quite impressive as he's only 28. His beard is a sign of his profession (computer guru) and his attitude (fluffy teddy bear).

I don't think they need to know that I think he is a beautiful beardy creature, or that he is an Ewok. Some people are prejudiced against ewoks, after all. It might be relevant that his dad is also beardy, but he can tell them that in the interview, can't he? He can also tell them in the interview about all his geeky activities that require his beard as a repository for knowledge.

Richard's beard - and me with excessively short hair

While I'm posting that picture I might as well post photos of me with long hair and short hair. My hair is currently somewhere between these two photos, and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I don't want to leave it long, because it's hanging in my face and getting caught in my armpits and being itchy down my back, and no end of other things that annoy me, but I can't decide whether to get it cut "short" or "excessively short".
