whatho | And you can buy soft drinks from the vending machine. For no good reason at all.

I've been playing Shenmue on the Sega whatever-it's-called that my brother got me for my birthday. It's sort of my perfect game. Today I had to wait till 2pm for the tattoo parlour to open, so I passed the time in buying a tin of tuna from the grocery store for the abandoned kitten. Then I booked a meeting with the mafia dudes for 3pm the next day at the arcade. There was nothing to do in the interim, so I had a game of darts then I went back to my house, because apparently the housekeeper was fretting about the peculiar hours I kept, and also I'd missed a phonecall from somebody wanting to talk to me about university entrance examinations. Literally hours of pointless mundanity. Somehow it's the best thing in a world when you've a joypad and buttons to press. I think later on I get to buy bus tickets. And go on an actual bus. That I've waited for. Ace.

Now I'm watching Lost season 4 on DVD. The blooper reel has Desmond and Sayid cuddling for warmth, which is some damnably pretty cuddling for warmth you've got right there, and I've forgotten pretty much everything that happened in the actual plot. And I still hate Locke.
