Keeping up with the post-millenial Joneses

23 June, 2006
Posted in: Mr. Waffle, Reading etc.

The Observer had a cartoon a while back where these guys in a coffee shop are chatting and one says to the other “So, half way through dinner she googled me on her blackberry and found my ex-girlfriend’s blog so that was pretty much that”.  His friend replies “do you know that three of those terms didn’t even exist five years ago?”

So, I was playing with the computer and I saw this post from Fluid Pudding and I said to my loving spouse “guess what Jeff gave Angela?”.  And he said “eh, who, what?” because he is not as up on my computer stalkees as I would like.  “A ticket to the blogHer thingy” I said.  And he said “eh, who, what?” and I explained that it was this conference that everyone was going to and I would like to go too and he looked at me blankly.  “Off you go then, nobody’s stopping you”.   There are times when this whole independent woman thing palls.  Somehow, I feel that I will not be going to California at the end of July.

    You go girl! Think of all the sleep you’ll get on a trans-Atlantic, trans-American flight. Two of them if you decide to come back

    It’s hard to sleep well in economy on longhaul flights, even if there are no children about.
