Barmy Blue's Bland Blog

Been a while since I blogged. To be completely honest I just couldn't really be bothered. It's been rather slow since I got back. I went home last Friday instead of Saturday so I could set up things for mum's birthday on the Sunday. I bought a cake in Tescos and decorated it with some bits that we'd bought the week before (I was planning it back then) I didn't really want mum to know I was back until she saw me but I knew she'd know when she found the door wasn't locked. Another dead giveaway, as it turned out, was the fact that I'd cooked super noodles for dinner when I got back and eaten them with chopsticks just for fun, I'm getting quite good at it now , and though I couldn't detect it mum said that she could smell the cooking, even though it was about an hour or so after I'd eaten them.
We went down the high road to do some shopping and I insisted we split up. She knew it was so I could buy her a birthday present. I bought her a new Dean Koontz book (she's read practicaly every one) I also bought myself a book. .hack\\ledgend of the twilight. The first manga that I've actually bought for myself. I bought Tom two last year, one for Christmas and one for his birthday and I read them before wrapping them for two reasons, 1, so if I thought he'd really hate it then I'd keep it and 2, I'd never read manga before and I wanted to There's more on Tom but I'll do that later, if I can remember and if I can be bothered.
Anyway, back to shopping for mum. I had a little less money than I'd anticipated so I was limited strictly to sale items, even though that's what I was aiming for, to be limited to it made me feel rather cheap, seeing as it was a gift for mum. I browsed for ages selecting a jumper, I get her one every year (ever since I sold the first one to dad, I still wish I'd doubled the price of it though ) it's become like a little tradition for me. Finding something in her colour, style and size wasn't easy in the 70% off section, as there's just a few odd bits that no one wants hanging around and you rarely find more than two of the same item by that time, so I also had to decide what to buy and buy it quick before someone else snapped it up. In the end I selected a pale blue jumper with sort sleeves and a high neck, though I hadn't noticed the neck until mum pointed it out to me on Sunday. However, I figured it'd be better than a long sleved jumper because mum's hot flushes seem to be turning up more, then again what do you expect, as I'm pretty sure she's lost her fan again. I also got her a card and a little paper butterfly that flies out of the card when you open it, scares the crap out of you for a moment . Then we met up again and saw Sweeny Todd, because it has Johnny Depp in it and mum adores him as Captain Jack Sparrow (I believe I've mentined this several times before) we could see elements of Jack in Sweeny, it was fun to spot them. We had chips for dinner and, at about 2am I wraped up mum's presents. She seemed pleased the next day. One thing she wasn't expecting though was the decoration on the cake. Only trouble was I cut my thumb with the knife when I used it to cut away a bit of tape holding the card around the cake. It wasn't too bad though, I've had cat scratches worse than that. It's nearly gone now anyway . All in all it was all okay.
On Tuesday we watched Metropolis (2001) instead of Battle Royale, but I'd seen the posters before I got the email so I already knew. I don't mind . I didn't like it's replacement though. It was a bit dull and I wasn't so keen on the ending. Alas no Ripton this week but that was expected. I wonder if that's the reason Battle Royale was moved back. The email seems to hint that there's a chance he could turn up next week but I won't hold my breath. That story I mentioned earlier hasn't come any further, I didn't have high hopes for it anyway, but we'll see how I go.

I think that's all I have to say now.

Bluebiird out.

I told you I'd forget . Well, it's nohing really. Recently I had a dream in which Tom featured. I don't remember much of it but, from what I do remember, I'd suddenly started seeing him in secret and didn't want mum to find out, which is silly because mum didn't keep me from Tom, I did. I think it may have been sparked by a random email he sent me some time last week. He used to send me random pictures of things he thought were particularly good or interesting or funny or relevant to some story or other he was doing, like I really cared. One thing that annoyed me about it was that when I did the same on one occasion he said to me why are you sending me this stuff? I don't really care and I thought oh, so it's okay for you so send me crap I don't want but if I do it to you you complain. That's all.
