Yet another of those tedious dribs 'n' drabs posts, in which Sophie attempts to chronicle her increasingly dull life experiences. Why is Southport so very boring? Why are there no jobs? Why isn't the weather nice enough for me to get any decent photographs of the pier? Grrr.

Post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples:"5 Things You'd Do If The World Explodeded" or "Top 5 things to drink"). Then, in the comments, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal.

I got History Boys tickets! Saturday 27th October, Matinee, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ROW B OF THE STALLS, BABY! I am slightly overcome. Ooh, and the audiobook came!

I'm reading lots and lots of Philip Larkin at the minute, and the more I read it, the more I like it.

Water
If I were called in
To construct a religion
I should make use of water.

Going to church
Would entail a fording
To dry, different clothes;

My litany would employ
Images of sousing,
A furious devout drench,

And I should raise in the east
A glass of water
Where any-angled light
Would congregate endlessly.

Oh, and happy Alfred Hitchcock's birthday! May your day be full of suspense.
