Consumerism
Did I get pressies you ask? Oh yes, I did. The 'rents are replacing my dying fridge. (Got this one, it's taller than the one I have and can hold more stuff.) Stu got the Massive Attack tickets and, well... lots. He organised everything and it was lovely and sweet and perfect. Sue got me Colm Toíbín's The Heather Blazing. Meg brought Lawrence Millman's Our Like Will Not Be Here Again, Ben picked The Prisoner (DVD), my colleagues found Daniel Lanois new CD, Shine plus lots of sweets for travelling. And someone who is just too generous to be named is buying me a new computer. Yes, dear readers, I will finally say goodbye to my tired Celeron 466. I'm a very spoilt old woman. I got myself some goodies too, from the Design museum's shop I got the Graphic Design Cookbook, two fonts by P22: Bauhaus and Frank Lloyd Wright and a Moleskin address book. Also picked up the 3 CD-set 'Art Deco' Music Collection from the V&A.
And you deserve every gift. Happy Be-lated. :)
And something tells you can add a Nick Cave ticket to that list... ;)
Weeee! Nick. Cave. Thanks, e. :-)
YOU've been doing all this with a celuron 466?? You go girl, you deserve that new computer.
