I am web monkey on the project. Give me a wave!

So I watched Star Wars (original film, episode 4, whatever) for the first time ever yesterday.

It's good.

Boy I'm crap at doing this. I have mostly been celebrating people getting one year older, married and/or born this past month. I really have very little to say. EXCEPT I heart Samantha Bee. Watch this:



I also went to my first residents' meeting last night. I was the youngest by at least 30 years. Pressing matters included: the recycling scheme (it's good, but not that good), laundry prices (boo hoo), and alternative energy sources (yum!).

The upside was that it was held in the William Booth College, aka The Scary Salvation Army building. As expected, it had lovely views from the top but inside was like a Czech youth hostel, full of people with dead eyes and fear etched on their faces at the arrival of normals from the outside.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to skewer the committee with my incisive question about bike racks, as there appeared to be a requirement for speaking that you a) had to have lived in the building for at least 32 years and b) were so deaf you couldn't hear anyone else trying to get a word in edgeways so thundered on about 230% price increases on the storage cupboards.

But I am now the proud maintainer of the RPH website! What a citizen.

Hoo-ha!

Good point by Paxman that the BBC should be doing "less better". But what a dick.

Prince was AMAZING - he played almost everything I wanted to hear and was really funny with it. He is also ever so good on guitar. He didn't, however, play either of the following:

i) I Would Die 4 U
ii) Batdance

Either of which would have sent me over the edge. As it was I spent the whole two hours screaming and dancing like a ninny.

We got the Thames clipper boat back to Waterloo, which was a beautiful way to end the evening. Completely in love with London again.

So I've got tickets for Prince on Friday. This is exciting, don't get me wrong. But then I see this in the schedules.

Curses!
