Inane Ramblings: Sponsored by Samsung.

Work again. Before going I sampled a Soya Cappuccino from a health bar tucked away in town. I felt all smug and hipster-like in ordering it but my self-appreciation soon turned to despair when I noticed pamphlets about Homeopathy; the bane of my existence. It turned out to be not the worst coffee I have ever had, not by a long shot, but definitely the strangest. I can't even describe how it was so bizarre but I offer my word that it certainly was. Work was one of those days where there was hardly anyone in but those who were wanted to buy things so I was kept moderately busy. During the periods of complete quietness we were playing around with the Samsung 3D TV, discovering that it upscales ANYTHING to 3D: something that none of the other 3D TVs do. It does so fairly well, creating depth in what you see as opposed to the "proper" 3D where you have depth as well as stuff popping out of the screen at you. We only have Monsters vs Aliens on 3D Blu-ray, so it was good to find this out as it meant I was able to see some of Harry Potter upscaled: it makes me very happy to say that I saw Evanna Lynch in 3D (Luna Lovegood). When we hooked it up to Freeview I was confronted by the mind-scarring image of David Cameron 3D; something I wish upon no human. The smoothness of his skin created by his inch-thick makeup and sinister, expressionless face when viewed in the third dimension made him look like a speaking globe emanating out of the screen like a demonic balloon slowly being inflated by the screams of small children. Back to my main point however, I realise that this post seems like an advert for Samsung but I'm not even given commission for stuff I sell, let alone stuff I advertise.

This evening was a disgrace as I got shampoo in my eye amidst washing my hair and in the bitter struggle to rectify the situation, managed to insert even more into the other eye.

I was horrified to hear about Darroch's dog being attacked by a manic Doberman yesterday: apparently Sirius is doing okay which is awesome and lucky judging by Darroch's account in his blog.

Tomorrow's an early start at work; the shift I actually prefer even though it means extracting myself from bed at unearthly hours. This is followed by another party in Drum; this time based around superheroes. It shall be incredible.
