The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

Sorry about that, Ollie. I needed something to cheer me up on Monday and that helped enormously. Minty's sim and yours at first looked so outraged at their new styles, followed by adopting gloomy expressions and staring at me through the screen. I didn't save it, so you are safe from toothbrush hair now.

Feel really spaced out today after having hardly any sleep. The noisiest of all my noisy neighbours had a party until well after 2.00 am, accompanied by occasional outbursts of banging on walls and ceilings from the tier 2 and tier 3 of noisy neighbours. I don't mind people having parties occasionally but it is polite to notify others in the building. When I was a student we would let other flats know if we were going to be rowdy, even when we lived in buildings that were 100% students - you never know whether someone might have an exam coming up, or their mum visiting or be working an early shift or something. Oh well.

It's unbelievable how loud some people can be, though. I don't think I should be able to hear conversations from two floors above me, crystal clear, word for word. I mean I'm not some kind of superhero with superhuman ears. I don't know if I even can speak that loudly! I was sorely tempted to retaliate by hoovering at 8.00, presuming that they are all now passed out and hungover, but I decided not to. Bitchiness does not become me and I think it is better to lead by example. A quiet example.

In other news, I finally listened to the new Bjork album. Well, I say I listened to the album but in fact I only got as far as the third track. I was absolutely willing to give it a chance, but it felt like a musical assault on my brain and was not enjoyable. If her aim was to convey the screeching pain and chaos of a messy break-up then she's done a terrific job and I hope she got something out of it. It would be a great album to smash plates to. Unfortunately it's not that pleasant to listen to if you are actually just sitting on a bus or going for a walk. Poor Bjork. I think I'll stick with her earlier stuff.

After a series of disasters, Marine have parted company with the manager and assistants. I wonder if a fresh start will bring success and whether it will be enough to keep us up (I doubt it). I really don't want to hear more reports of booing at matches. It's usually a very friendly and fun place to go to watch a game, no matter what the result.
