Well I did consider changing my profile pick to the attack dog one earlier today, but skillful application of some lunch time beverages prevented it.

I must not let stupid things get to me, as life (well mine anyway) is far to short.

But, well. You know me.

I was once asked why I picked a dog as my header picture. The original black and white one was the first one I had. I just did, it seemed right. It seemed "me". The thing I like about dogs is - they are crap at hiding their feelings. Happy - wag the tail, Sad - droop the tail, ears and head, Angry - growl. No bollocks. And someone reminded me after I chose it that the goddes Diana has a dog with her at all times. And she must know what she's doing, being a Goddess and all.

Cats, well. I mean reeeeeely. Sneaky buggers.

So anyway, right now everything is fine and Jim (beam) dandy. OK single malt dandy. Just having a large medicinal one here in the music room, and the tobacco sunburst LP custom is sat across my lap getting a gentle fingering from time to time.

Ahem.

So now I am going to apply my foot to the volume pedal and move some air.

Goodnight.

The cellophane wrapper parts with a crackle, the thin cardboard top separates at the label revealing the shinnign inner foil, which pulls away with a quiet snap to reveal....

The last 20 Cheap cigarettes from Budapest.

Must hang on......

must.......

The darker side of Pisces

"Manipulative, moody, unreliable and contradictory, you're one (sorry, two) slippery fish. You change your mind so frequently that others are worn out just being around you. One minute you're giving up smoking and the next you're asking for a light. That's another thing you're hopeless at - willpower.
When you're not leading others on a chaotic dance you can be found moping in a café. You have a crippling sense of martyrdom and like to take every opportunity to feel hard done by. Why must everyone put you under so much pressure? How were you to know you wanted a cappuccino when you asked for a latte?
Dating and relationships
You're not too picky when it comes to the dating game. In fact, you'll let anyone buy you a drink as long as they listen to your emotional sob story. Three glasses of wine later, you decide that the person sat opposite you is your soul mate, until that is, you fall in love with the waiter on the way back from the toilet.

You like to think of yourself as a hopeless romantic. The truth is that you're just plain hopeless. You drift in and out of relationships and like nothing better than to splash around in someone else's emotional depths for a change. If you should find an emotional anchor, hold on to them with all you've got."

So, there ya go. Not all Romance and artistry after all.
