Coldplay & Corn Flakes...
Ha ha ha... Coldplay's new single came on Radio 2 today and Chris and I had a good laugh. The trouble with the new single is that it's still Coldplay. Well, Chris remarked, 'Coldplay is like Corn Flakes, everyone likes Corn Flakes and they're only Corn Flakes.' I was paraphrasing there, but you get the idea.
'Speed of Sound' is an okay tune, but after last summer of Keane and Maroon 5 and a non-stop barrage of crooning adult contemporary pop bands, Coldplay just doesn't have the same appeal as the first two discs did. I'm certainly not gonna race out to the shops and pick up the CD.
Worst joke ever: What do you call a breakfast sandwich with mussels?? An Arnold Shellfish'n'egger! HA!
I had an interesting perspective view from my mate back home in Calgary. He wrote in an e-mail:
"leave then.
no booze, no puss, no prospects, small room, rubbish FOR GOD'S SAKE that's no way to live. hell, you can live better than that here!
i'm praying for soccer cancel. i wanna get loaded and sit in my hot tub. but i'd not do that...i'd setup stuff.
i'll peep the site."

I've gotta say, the man sort of has a point. I did respond to saying that I would have to wait for my passport to return from the Home Office before I was really able to return home to Canada, but the possiblity has been played around in my head a bit.
I have about 2 months before the passport is back... so if I can turn it around, job wise (maybe even a girl to marry me), I'll stay longer... but I have begun mental preparation for the idea. It doesn't seem so bad, 'cept not as many friends.
I wouldn't have the job finding problem, probably quite the opposite... beer would be in great supply... get myself sorted and somewhere to live... and then work on my ghastly social scene.
Yikes! Let's not delve too deep into that situation though... although the e-mails from home would suggest I do otherwise.
What else was I gonna write on here today?? I thought of a few things while I was doing my one day of work a week.
I need some good writing topics... anyone?? Tomorrow, I should have lots of time for writing.

hmmm, good writing topics....well there was that bit on CNN today about the world's first "Zonkey"
Apparently some whore of a zebra was banging a donkey when her mate was ill.....the nerve.....well anyways, this "Zonkey" pretty much looks like a donkey except that its legs and ears have stripes....
On second thought, maybe that isn't a good topic since i've pretty much just said all there was to say about it.
But it begs the question....should people have the ability to choose whether their future children are boys or girls, have blue eyes or brown?? There's big hype and debate over here about it right now.....apparently this genetics technology is possible for people seeking invetro fertilization, and of course it has all the bible thumpers up in arms about it. But is it really that big of a deal if you can make those choices?? Is it hurting anyone or anything???
What's your angle on it?
Or you could do a little piece on the term "eh". CMON!! Don't forget you're a canadian....just because you've started using that fancy schmancy english slang, doesn't mean you are less Canadian........or you could do a comparative piece on some of the more interesting cultural differences between Canadians and British.
Dude, the world is wide open with topics, I could go on all day....but I will spare you of it.
au revoir
Louise
