A girl and her pineapple and pics off my phone.

Some fruit and veg I just want to keep hanging around the house, more than I want to eat it.

Is it very strange to take pictures of yourself with a pineapple?

Oh well. The latest installment of pics off my phone, from a few weeks ago. I was just snapping away as I was walking, and everything came out kinda distorted. Makes me think of that soft mints add “Mr soooffttt…”

What is it with Liverpool and spiders?
This one is all sparkly.

When I cover reception I spy on people on the security cameras

These just aren’t cool

I went to Brew, a new tea bar in the commercial quarter, the other day. All the teas come in one of these pots, and none are in bags. There’s loads to choose from, and when you order it they send it down a conveyer belt. It slowly makes it’s way down to you, and by the time it gets there it is ready to pour. I had the masala chai, and it was the nicest chai tea I’ve ever tasted.

Plus they sell chocolate digestives, two for 25p.

And finally…. I was waiting for a bus yesterday, and the stop was empty. This women comes and stands by me. When I saw by me I mean RIGHT by me. I mean DIRECTLY behind me. I mean she was practically touching me, peering over my shoulder as I was texting Lee. After a few minutes she was creeping me out to much, so I went to stand at the opposite end of the bus stop. She didn’t like that. She kept on looking behind to me. It seemed to make her really uncomfortable. Almost as uncomfortable as it made me when she was RIGHT THERE.

So I decided to snap her.

Creepy lady, I expose you on the internets.

Update and photos

So what have I been doing?

Well, I’ve been back at work, and when at home I’ve been spending more time reading that webforum I’ve been on for years. Normally I try not to sit on the internet all night, but it was announced a fair while ago that it was due to close, and at 10pm on Monday it’s time was up.
I’m in two minds about this- it’s somewhere I’ve never been able to “quit” even though I probably should have done given that I outgrew it quite a while ago. But I grew up on there, starting in my teens, and using it on and off all the way through uni, and out the other side to where I am now.
If it wasn’t for that forum I would never have met Lee, and I had some good times with people on there. It’s a bit odd that it just isn’t there anymore.
But I have to grow up sometime, and I can’t waste my life on that kind of thing anymore. I need to concentrate on:

    Finding a new job (preferably, some kind of “career path”
    Eating well and exercising
    Playing guitar
    Reading
    Writing
    Keeping up with the housework
    Leaning another language

Mostly this week I’ve been playing guitar, and I’m getting better but I’ve bloody worn my fingers right out.

What I haven’t been doing is reading. I don’t know why but I’m stuck on page 193 of Divisadero and can’t quite bring myself to read the rest of it but, by my own rules, can’t move on either. It’s not impressing me so far- I expected a little more from it. I’m hoping that all the threads will pull together at the end, because at the moment it’s reading a little over-sentimentalised.

I have thrown the towel in on Tao Lin. My urge to befriend him was a flash in the pan, a moment of madness. As soon as I tried to imagine any kind of friendship there I realised it was madness. I promise to be more sane in the future.

I took loads of photos when in Dorset on my phone and camera to stick up here but I hadn’t got round to it yet, so here’s some from my phone.
