a nice hot bath

too long has that mouse been messing with me, see how it sits so dejectedly now i've discarded it... ha ha ha... i laugh at you oh defective information technology device...

i bought it for a £5 a week or so ago, after the man in the shop had been trying to sell me one of the £10 ones, and as my friend bo never used to tire of saying:

buy cheap buy twice!

so today i got on my bike and pedaled off to the computer fair in town, bought the microsoft approved mouse, there it sits on my knee right now and it so calmly does the job it's meant to...

ok enough about the mouse.

on the way in i was cycling through regents park and i could here Youssou Ndour's lovely voice singing seven seconds away, i got confused for a bit and thought live8 was in regents park, but soon discovered that it was a huge screen set up to broadcast the hyde park event... i had a nasty feeling that dido was singing the neneh cherry parts and this was confirmed a little later... neneh did such a great job back then, dido is not, not, NOT an appropriate replacement...

after the computer fair i cycled south, towards the middle, caught a few pride events, some cabaret in leicester square, a big stage in trafalgar square, i cycled down to the river and went along the north side, from charing cross all the way to wapping in the east where i found where the regents canal ends up, the limehouse basin, i turned on my ipod and drifted up the canal all the way to islington, where i used one of my free cinema tickets to see war of the worlds... which, while it wasn't a complete waste of time is not something i'd recommend, just too much adrenalin for hardly any reward, for the first time in ages i left the cinema before the credits finished...

not good quality cinema but then what was i thinking?

so now my body is calling out for a nice hot bath to ease off the miles i've cycled today...
