pleasant surprise

the fortune cookie i got for christmas (amongst other gifts!) foresaw in rumbling english: *pleasant surprise. you intuition wasn't deceivable.*

the cookie was right! the surprise was that my little journal seems to have more readers than i thought (i.e. more than one).

thanks for your new year wishes.

now back to the big task for this weekend: i'm writing an essay on history and ownership. my example is israel and the conflict with the palestinians over who was there first and who therefore has more rights to the land. it appears that the prize would justify rewriting history. it's more interesting a topic than you'd think when you just watch daily news. and anyway, following daily politics is the biggest time waster there is in my opinion. apart from reading blogs maybe... (only joking!)

columbo is on tv in half an hour.

to cheer yourselves up, have a look at the sky over london:
