In Future

The Twelfth of April Two Thousand and Twelve. Thursday.

Oh, hi there! Glad you could make it. You know, I was just chilling here, enjoying this very refreshing mug of red bush tea (no milk, thank you) and reflecting on this modern world of ours. Yes, things such as jet aviation, instant noodles and satellite navigation (or 'stnv' for short) are everyday miracles and sometimes it's too easy to take them for granted.


I had a vegetable finger and cheese sandwich earlier and I left half of it because I wasn't that hungry. But as soon as I've finished pondering life's imponderables through my keyboard I'm going to pop it into my microwave and 30 seconds later - biff! boom! pow! (or whatever it is Will.i.am says on The Voice (other 'talent' shows are available...)) soggy but warm grub. It's amazing! My only disappointment is that we don't have those pizza rehydration things they promised us in Back to the Future II. I don't give a monkey's about the hoverboards - I could never get the hang of the wheeled variety anyhoo (I had a rubbish rubber-wheeled one that my Mam and Dad bought me when we were on holiday at Butlin's. A redcoat asked to have a go, but mindful of what my parents said about strangers I refused (and just to reiterate what a miraculous wired up world we live in now, five mins googling has found a picture of it:

Oh, man. I tell you, all this time-travelling is making me dizzy...)). I seem to remember coming a cropper on the steep hill near the hothouse in Buile Hill Park. Even with a board as cheap as this I couldn't afford knee pads.

A bit of an aimless meander, this one. I think what I'm trying to say is that it's brilliant living in the future (although I don't know where my Legion of Super Heroes flight ring is. It was pretty cool - I got it to work once). Although there was that problem with the robotic uprising of the mid nineties.


And now the artificial brain stimulants are wearing off and as a cyborg I must go into sleep mode.

More soonliest.
