The Girlfriend:
and getting the new Terry Pratchett tomorrow
-
The Girlfriend:
which would account for £11 of the missing £104 from my bank account
-
Me:
seriously, I need to wean you off hardbacks
-
The Girlfriend:
:(
-
The Girlfriend:
I like being first with the new books
-
The Girlfriend:
you have to wait like another YEAR to get the paperback
-
Me:
delayed gratification is just as good as instant gratification
-
The Girlfriend:
not as far as I am concerned
-
The Girlfriend:
I want instant gratification all the time
-
The Girlfriend:
I was just about to tell you about my shoe dilemna
-
The Girlfriend:
but figured you really wouldn't be interested
-
The Girlfriend:
so you have been spared a shoe diatribe :)
-
Me:
I'm interested in shoe dilemmas
-
Me:
(not really)
-
Me:
I've got a lunch, which I didn't know about until an hour ago
-
The Girlfriend:
man you ALWAYS get to have nice food
-
The Girlfriend:
I'm so jealous
-
The Girlfriend:
I'm looking at an egg sandwich which is the height of gourmet dining around here
I had a very stressful day and I couldn’t do any exercise to calm me down so now I’ve had to turn to wine.
Sometimes, I just can’t fault the girlfriend’s logic.
taking [my cousin] to gatecrash a funeral
The girlfriend’s last message to me on Gchat before signing out.
We have my cousin staying with us this week, and doing work experience at the girlfriend’s newspaper. She’s evidently getting a bit of a crash course introduction to the world of journalism…
In theory, it was a masked ball, although they didn’t last too long once the wine started flowing. The girlfriend’s mask comes from Venice, whereas I got mine from Angels. I didn’t realise at the time, but it sort of looks like Russell Crowe’s mask from Gladiator.
Yesterday saw my parents and the girlfriend’s parents meeting for only the second time since we’ve been seeing each other. First time round, I was unbelievably nervous about it all, but this time was a lot more comfortable for me.
Our families are so similar: fairly loud mums, and quite quiet dads. Thankfully, they really get along, mainly by making the girlfriend and I squirm at the subject matter.
Amazingly, the topic of a future wedding didn’t come up, or at least didn’t come up whilst I was in earshot. Considering how frequently the two mums spoke about it last time (and probably still do on Facebook, shudder), I’m amazed. I would genuinely not be surprised if my mum has already bought a hat.
Not a bad way to spend a Sunday with a bit of a hangover, all told.
I think its rubbish and am offended by its very nature on behalf of all books
The girlfriend, on the Kindle.
It’s finally getting an official release here on August 27th, and I’m very tempted by the wi-fi only one for £109. I’m more attached to the physicality of books than I ever was for CDs and DVDs, but I can see the attraction of condensing it all into this tiny little device.
Does anyone have one, and are they any good?
I got home over three hours ago, and the girlfriend has yet to notice that I had my hair cut at lunchtime.
Now I know how she feels…
-
The girlfriend:
Actually, [Friend] is looking to sell her car.
-
The girlfriend:
She paid about three grand for it a couple of years ago.
-
Me:
Oh cool. What kind of car is it?
-
The girlfriend:
*Thinks about it*
-
The girlfriend:
It's a red car.
