It's pissing down and I have nothing else to do.
I suppose I could go and try out my umbrella soon. I know, I sold out, but if you'd seen the downpour I got caught in the other day then you'd understand.
Do none of you fuckers have net access at work? And I thought some of you layabout student fucks would be out of bed by now!

That's why I hate them. The little spikes are at the same height as my eyes and people with umbrellas are frequently complete shits who have no concern for people. I took to kncoking umbrellas out peoples hands, the problem with that is that then they hit someone else, making me part of the problem. I think I should start taking them and throwing them in the road.

I just wear a coat myself. Apart from the slight danger that I'll be mistaken for a drug dealer or dangerous terrorist by the local police it seems to work fine.

That's why I feel like I've sold out, I've never owned one before.

umbrellas are a bourgeois weapon in the class struggle. their prongs are precisely the right height to do serious damage to proletarian eyes

Actually in the massacre following the crushing of the Paris Commune the bourgeois women did walk about poking the brains and things of the corpses of the workers with their umbrellas.

I forgot to bring an umbrella to university with me:(

I need to go out and: book dance classes, buy text books, check the callback sheet for play I auditioned for and complain that everything in my room is broken..... but its raining so hard that my headscarf couldn't possibly protect my hair (it does make me look like a land girl though). I am listening to radio 1 because I realised that I am COMPLETELY out of touch. Tempted to switch back to radio 4.

Oh, and I think MSN is broken because no one will talk to me.

Maybe I've got something with a hood I could wear out, I'm going to have a look.

What's a land girl? Like a girl with land? A Sloane or something?

Women's land army, they dug potatoes and stuff during the war.
I'm sure you've seen the film with Anna Friel. Or at least discovered clips from it on yopur computer after a certain Belfast-based poster came to visit.

I woke up at 11.30 today thank you very much. That was after spending an hour trying to read Debord last night in an attempt to sleep. I failed, so I put the Stones on. That still failed, so I stole my housemate's emergency weed stash and got off pretty quickly.

Umbrellas are proper shit, but I left my coats at home.
