\"Mroof,I am depressed.<\/p>\n

No, I don’t know why.<\/p>\n

Well, I do sort of but there’s nothing I can do about it.<\/p>\n

I am in need of retail therapy. Yesterday I ordered the entire back catalogue of the Dandy Warhols<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can’t think of anything to buy to cheer myself up. Even the mini-sized 4-colour pen I bought in Tescos for 68p this afternoon failed to bring a smile to my face. Now that sort of thing nearly always works. It was stationery, it was a stupid size, it was 4 different colours, it came in a translucent purple wrapper and it was less than an ailing mollusc. The only thing that would have made it better would be if it had been metallic gel ink, and we can’t have everything.<\/p>\n
