eruvadhrilSo, we went to the movies but Phantom of the Opera is apparently not showing anymore. But it makes no difference because Mum was gonna make me stay with the 'babies' and see the Incredibles anyway. So we saw the Incredibles and it was alright. There was this little foot-tall person that I was sure was a man but they assure me that it's a woman, so whatever. I thought it was named Edgar, but apparently it's Edna. He/she was the funniest one in the show. I was sure the mum was played by Jodie Foster, so we were all saying things like "Do you hear your children screaming, Clarice?" and stuff like that. But then it turned out she was played by a Helen Hunter or something. And we were talking about it as we walked along, and we keep getting weird looks from people. No one talks in public, here. We intimidate shop owners because we walk around in the family, all five of us, and I think they mustn't be used to that.
I was just reading Unfinished Tales and there was this uppity snarky git of an elf that gives Turin a hard time when he's living with Thingol and Melian who I was gonna bitch about, but I can't remember his name. I keep thinking Silraen, but that's a river. Which is probably spelled wrong. Anyway, he was a pain. He should fall of a cliff and... oh, wait, he already did. Never mind.
Oh, and mum went shopping when we were at the movies and got some brown cashmere-lined leather gloves in her size that she found in Myers but didn't buy when they were on special and then they didn't have any in her size anymore but she found some in her size in some shop over here so it's all good. And she also got a book called "Eats Shoots and Leaves" which talks about the importance of grammar in society. Whatever, Aunt Josephine.
Um, yeah. Oh, wait, TAXIS. Right. We caught the bus into town (not a big double-decker one) but we WANTED to get a taxi. Easy enough in london, they're bursting at the seams, right? NOPE. We called THREE different taxi services. Not one had a taxi for us. "I'm sorry but there's no cars available thankyou goodbye". It's not much of a taxi service, is it? Finest in the district, sir. Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, pray. Well, it's so clean, sir. It's certainly uncontaminated by cheese... Ok, shutting up.
