I'm teaching fools some basic rules.

Gangster. Word.

Today we are in wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen.
A pity everything is so pricey for "us" Swedes nowadays. Even beer costs an arm and a leg. It's nice beer, mind, so the loss of limb(s) is almost worth it.
Today a member of the A-Team (Copenhagen division) staggered up to us as we were sitting in one of the squares by the main drag drinking a crafty beer in the sun (us, not him...I mean, we were the ones drinking at this point - he'd obviously finished his stash). He was clutching the usual plastic bag full of returnable beer/pop bottles and sporting an unusually awful mullet of some distinction. He appeared to have cut his own fringe with a blunt pocket-knife, leaving the back to its own devices. Lush.
Upon spying our table he blundered over and proceeded to mutter at us. I think the general gist was "Give me some money. For booze". Although I could be wrong, Danish people talking confuses me. Of course, I was having none of it and sent him on his way with a flea in his ear.
Most bizarrely of all, however, the gentleman didn't appear to be wearing any underpants. Or indeed trousers. Now there's something you don't see every day.
Nor would you wish to. Ew ew ew.

I look at yours and you laugh at mine

The bloody weather still can't seem to make up its mind.
Back in Göteborg for a few days before going up to Fiskebäckskil again. Summer seems to have moved on. Oh dear. I quite liked having it around, truth be told. I'm not sure I was ready to give it back. Mine.
England are in with a real chance in the Ashes as long as it doesn't go tits-up. Here's hoping.
Spurs have bought a couple of kids called "Kyle" from Sheffield. Hardly the big-name signing I was hoping for. Maybe there's more to come. Roll on the start of the season. Please. I'm ready now.
Spidey lives here.

Lightning is my girl

Hundreds of little froggies everywhere (top and bottom right in the pic).
Uh-uh-uh!
Getting out to the car was a tippy-toes exercise so as not to step on the little blighters. Mmmm....tiptoes. Cute.

Where do we go from here?

...is it down to the lake I fear?

I took this photo at half-past ten in the evening after a swim. Serious clarts. Nuts.

I'm not the kind of guy who dresses like a king

...so a really fine pair of shades means everything

Today has dawned sunny and glorious. Rather like myself. Ahem.
Back from Fiskebäckskil I had some packages to pick up from the post office. Najs. A few items have gone back but a few have been kept. It would be nice if I could actually wear the pair of shoes I bought without my toe hurting but I'll have to wait a little while for that to go away I suppose. Poor me.
It's all been very quiet on the transfer front as far as Spurs are concerned this summer so far. Just Zakora leaving for Sevilla so far. Maybe there'll be a shopping frenzy the last couple of weeks before the new season starts. Mmm...shopping...frenzy. The new home strip is growing on me. It'll look good on any new recruits.
Why do I still feel an urge to shop?
Too much is never enough. Not ever...

Bare ankles used to mean adventure

Today was a nice day.
Summerier (is that a word? More summery. It is now) weather has returned and all is well with the world. Sunny and warm. I have started (somewhat belatedly) watching the American version of The Office and guess what? Just like everyone else in the world has been saying for the last few years it's actually really good. Apparently it becomes more "itself" after the first series (which is almost a carbon copy of the Ricky Gervais version) so I'm looking forward to it.
My toe(s) is(are) gradually returning to their normal size/colour. Which is nice.
I ate a Subways (well, one and a half foot of Subways in fact - that's 18-inches baby) sandwich.
It's been a while, but it's still good when you come back to it.

Nu då...

Newsflash:
It's still raining.
Today I read an article in Word magazine about "Bands that only I like"...
My nomination would have to be It's Immaterial. One solitary hit with "Driving Away From Home" but a first album of almost complete perfection. Laugh-out-loud funny, off-kilter, tuneful, indie-when-it-still-meant-something magic. And a second album that slipped out without anyone even noticing. Except your eagle-eyed blogger...
Here is the best hit-that-never-was that I can think of

And a video that I-never-knew-existed

And the one-and-only-hit

Sixth form common rooms, album sleeves for school-book covers, scratching the band name in the same font (though it wasn't called a font in those days) on my school bag, coats for goalposts.
Isn't it?

You. Outside. Now.

One week of the holidays down, another four to go. Ho hum.
The weather has taken a turn for the worse. The second day in a row of torrential rain. The rain floods gutters and makes a great sound on concrete.
Today I slipped on some wet decking and lost my footing with no warning whatsoever. I smashed my tea mug against the side of the house and fell completely arse-over-tit. Ouch. My littlest toe is now a lovely shade of purple/black and resembles nothing so much as a prinskorv (or cocktail sausage, if you're reading this outside Sweden).
Please come back Mr Sunshine. We miss you.

Want to dive into your ocean

...is it raining with you?

Summer holidays are here again. It's unseasonably warm right now. i.e. it's really hot and sunny despite being summertime, haha.
It will now be at least 72 years before a British feller competes in a Wimbledon men's singles final after Murray came a cropper in the semis yesterday. A pity because it feels like he'd stand a much better chance against prissy Mr Federer than the Stifler stand-in Roddick. Particulary with his good head-to-head record and the crowd behind him. Oh well.
Today I have been swimming in the sea, lying in a hammock reading a book and sleeping and, um, doing other stuff. I'm on me 'olidays, like. Are you looking at me bra?
Wonder how the Lions got on? Cheating dirty South Africans. Bah.
I like swimming. In the sea. Very much.

The ghosts of my life

...blow wilder than before

Today it is officially scorchio. For the first time in living memory, it hasn't rained at all during Wimbledon's first week. Typical, now that the multi-million pound roof on Centre Court has finally been installed, heh heh.
These are the new Spurs strips for next season. As feared, the yellow chevron thingummy on the chest is in place. I'm not sure I approve, but I dare say I'll come to love it. Do you love it?
One more week at work before the summer break. I'll survive. Somehow.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

And I can't look up

...the fingers of love move down

Note to self: Blog more often.

What is rock?

I'm back Back BACK! I haven't forgotten you, dear old blog. How could I?
The weather is also back. Good weather, that is. Hot and sunny and summery again. Finally. Midsummer (last Friday) was a little changeable, although more clement than last year.
After a busy, rushed spell at work last week, today I had a fantastic day. Truly.
Everything I touched turned out beautifully.

Pearly where's your milk white skin

...what's that stubble on your chin?

The new Spurs home strip. Supposedly. I bloody well hope not. Ew ew EW.
Tranny and Susannah give it the thumbs down too. Let's hope the football's better than the fashion.
Chanted by Spurs supporters during the win over Man. City towards the end of the season upon spotting Liam Gallagher in the crowd...'You're just a shit Chas & Dave' mohahaha!
I'm blogging on a Thursday. That's almost unheard of. Must be the vino collapso that's driving me to it.
This evening I have been remembering what a tremendous song "The Days of Pearly Spencer" (Marc Almond version thereof) is. I loves it.
Until the next time, dear viewers...

I want to drown in her precious arms

...I want to listen to the siren songs

Hot sunny sunshiney day.
Today, I had my first dip in the lake this year. The thermometer said 19 degrees - in the shallows, in the sun - but I'm not convinced. Mind you, if it don't kill you...
Rosé in the sun. Räkrosa too.
This weekend I have mostly been listening to Thomas Feiner & Anywhen and Sweet Billy Pilgrim.
Apparently, there's more weather on the way. Who'd have known? I'm even clean-shaven by my (admittedly) lowly standards.
Ah, the warm sunlight on my soft (ahem) skin. More of the same please.
Thanks.

Friday, May 22, 2009

Tell me the lights still flicker

...when we kiss

Today is my birthday. Another year older, another year wider. It has rained almost constantly.
I had some nice presents, ate lunch in the village and had sponge (with icing) and custard for dessert. So it's not been all bad.
Yesterday I downloaded a Bill Nelson album from iTunes which was 29 years old. Bloody hell. I'll be getting the odd grey hair here and there soon. Ahem.
It's a good job I've still got it, eh?

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

Huuuu-ngry eyes

...one look at you and I can't disguise

Ah Lord Patrick of Swayze. Wise words.
Hey hey...we'll keep it running in the family.
Mmm. Sweet, sweet chips. Crisps. Whatever.
Gimme.

Friday, May 15, 2009

Let's grow old together

...and die at the same time

Friday. Beer.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Sunday, May 10, 2009

Hmmm...what do we have here then?

This is a happy-face spider apparently. I wouldn't be very happy if I saw one, I can tell you, even though they're supposed to be tiny. *Shudder*.
Today is bright with intermittent clouds. Rather like me.
Note to self: Be less grumpy.

Saturday, May 09, 2009

From different maps

...dead bees on a cake

I dunno about that, but I have a dead bird on my t-shirt.
Saturday evening. Tottenham played out a creditable 0-0 draw away at Everton. Not sure if it really does much good with regards to the last European spot in the League, but we're in eighth spot right now. And it looks like Man. City won't get much change out of Man. Utd tomorrow, so it's likely to go down to the wire. As they say.
It seems that Wil-son Pal-a-c-i-os has returned to Honduras where the murdered body of his brother has been found. Wtf?!? Two Spurs players' brothers have been murdered in as many weeks. Yikes.
Isn't the label on this "Spring lager" pretty? That would look good in ink, that would. Pretty, inky flowers.
Hmmm...

I'm a cowboy

...on a steel horse I ride

Mebollocks. Possibly one of the crappiest lines ever in popular music. Tosser. Thank you for that Mr Bon-so-called-Jovi. And by the way where are your eyebrows? Eh? Answer me that.
Maybe the same place as so-called-Whoopi-Goldberg's. Bah.
I ask you...

Sunday, May 03, 2009

Every time I comb my hair

...thoughts of you get in my eyes

Hello, good evening and bollocks. I was reminded of Roger Mellie as I watched the Chalmers cortege thing on Friday night go up Aschebergsgatan...student coonts, hahaha.
The long weekend is nearly over. Spurs got a precarious win with another clean sheet at home. If they can keep another in the last home match it'll be their best ever year defensively at home in terms of goals conceded. How did that happen after the dreadful start to the year, undrar jag? White Hart Lane is a veritable fortress. Roll on next season. I hope. Snigger.
Now I'm drinking a Mariestad in front of "The Phantom" with the nippers. Whatever happened to Billy Zane? I suppose his obvious lack of talent was a big factor in his demise as a film-star, but for a while there he got all kinds of work, didn't he? Bald as a badger, he was, all those years...I never realised until later on. The power of a good syrup...Mind, he was a very fit feller. If you like that kind of thing.
Is it just me or does he look a lot like dear old Lloyd Cole...?
Everyone's favourite ex-Welsh girly is in it too...Catherine Zeta-Jones-Turtle-Neck-Douglas (or whatever she calls herself these days).

Saturday, May 02, 2009

Nothing's changed, I still love you

...only slightly, only slightly less than I used to

A long weekend. Beautiful sunny weather. Outdoors all day. Summertime temperatures. That's livin' alright.
Tottenham's last chance for European football next season is nigh. A win away at West Brom (who, in fairness, really need the points) is the absolute minimum required. Little Jefoe might start if he's in the right frame of mind after the murder of his half-brother. What on earth was all that about?
This weekend I am listening to old Blur singles from the boxset and 'Jizz In My Pants' haha.
They said it was gonna be cloudy today but so far there's no sign of it. I wonder if there's anything else I can find to blast clean with my new high-pressure wash thingummy? Hmm..
Today I shall be strutting around outdoors with my top off. It's the default setting. If you don't like it muthaf**ker then f*ck you too.
Today my undercrackers were of a pinkish hue...does that make me less of a man?

Sunday, April 26, 2009

Say it isn't so...


From top...the Pedro Mendes goal against Man Utd from a few seasons ago that the referee didn't "see" as having crossed the line and yesterday's "penalty" awarded to the home team, to the general incredulity of the Spurs players. Bollocks.
Anyway, the football aside, yesterday was lovely, bright and sunny, today a little less so. Another short working week this week as Friday is some kind of Swedish holiday-stylee day. Must be the first of May one I suppose. I guess that'll be the one that Blighty has the Monday after. "Bank Holiday comes six times a year" and all that. We like Blur.

Loud and clear, through thick and thin

...Europa Europa

Mustasch hand. Come on you Spurs!
Today I was at the Lane with Joel to watch the mighty Tottenham continue their end-of-season charge towards Europe next year. A 1-0 win over the hapless Geordies which really should have been by a greater margin. Oh how we jumped up in the air when Benty tucked it away at the second opportunity. Some very amusing songs directed at Mr Shearer too. Jermaine Defoe even came on as a second-half substitute to ours (and everyone else's) delight.
Today we've been all over...Regent's Park down to Oxford Street and Regent Street. Then an overground train to the match because of the closure of the Victoria Line.
An Oirish barmaid served me and enquired politely if I was from Newport, haha. She recognised the accent. Still, after all these years. Honorary clarts, don't you just love 'em? After the match we returned and ended up watching Monsters vs Aliens in Leicester Square.
Back in the teeny tiny hotel room now with a can of M&S continental lager and the tv on. That's living alright.
Joel has been an absolute joy this weekend.
Five top football songs:
1. Anything by Chas and Dave (obviously)
2. World In Motion by New Order (boring choice but necessary)
3. Holte End Hotel by Stephen Duffy (despite the fact it's a paean to Villa)
4. Don't Come Home Too Soon by Del Amitri (a tad pessimistic, but still...)
5. Erm, I've lost interest in my own list
That's it from the big city, for this time at least. I'll be back. Be sure of it.

Saturday, April 18, 2009

New York? Don't make me laugh!

...I've seen photographs

Tower up baby!

Today is Saturday the 18th of April 2009. Finally back in London. It's been too long. Magical. All human life is here.
Early morning flight...into Covent Garden, through Leicester Square to Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Street. Every street is a story written and waiting to be rewritten. Beautiful Spring sunshine.
The day finished off with a trip on the London Eye as the sun was beginning to set. Spectacular. 135m so they say. World's largest ferris wheel. Why are they called ferris wheels? Bloody high, either way.
I've had a lovely day. The whole day on foot and in Tubes. A little s.h.o.p.p.i.n.g. too. I mean, it'd be rude not to really, wouldn't it?

I'm on a train...

...I can't complain

Sunday, April 12, 2009

Here come the jeans and the summer...

I'm off to White Hart Lane! And I'm taking the next generation of hapless Slocombe Tottenham fan with me, woohoo!
In a fit of Easter dinnertime-GammelDansk-induced drinking madness I promptly booked a ticket for myself and Joely for the match against "lowly" (and I've waited all season to be able to use that word about another team) Newcastle next Sunday. Spurs' win against West Ham yesterday also eased any lingering relegation fears, having breached the fabled 40-point barrier and moved us up to 8th spot. Europe next season after all maybe?
Leaving early next Saturday morning, coming home on the Monday after.
It's been a while. Way too long, as a matter of fact...

I've gone a little red in the sunshine. To match today's stripey top.

Friday, April 10, 2009

You've got such a pretty please I never could say "no"

Good Friday.
It has been quite good, actually, as it goes. Clear blue skies and warm sunshine. This morning I had to make a quick trip to the seething metropolis of Torp to buy a scart lead (don't ask). I'm not complaining. Mustn't grumble.

Spurs against West 'am this weekend, as they look to kick-start their (vague at best, I fear) European hopes. Without Wilson after his ridiculous sending-off last week. Boo.
Soon, I shall be drinking beer. Or maybe wine. Or better still - both.
I have a disease...mixamadrinksosis. Call a doctor. No wait...

Sunday, April 05, 2009

Is stupid really stupid

...or a different kind of smart?

Spurs were away to Blackburn yesterday afternoon as I probably mentioned in my previous post. I wasn't even aware that they were on Swedish telly, but I made a desultory check and found that the match was the early kick-off and thus ON telly after all. I thoroughly enjoyed it as Tottenham scored quite early on and were extremely (stupidly) comfortable. I even felt a little sorry for Blackburn, what with their lowly position in the League and all.
Of course, all this changed with just over ten minutes left with the dismissal of Palacios. Who I love. Unconditionally and uncontrollably. He brings spine to the whole team. Ahem.
Redknapp rounded on referee Peter Walton, saying Palacios' red card was "farcical". The midfielder was sent off after two challenges on susbstitute David Dunn in quick succession.
Redknapp continued: "It was farcical. He never touched him. I think Dunny was embarrassed as he got up and shook his hand and apologised.
"But the referee was not clever enough to see it. After that we did not defend well enough.
"We were much the better team and as good as we have played away from home. We were in complete control. There was no danger whatsoever.
"I have never felt so comfortable at 1-0 up. Then suddenly we come off losing 2-1. It was amazing. We play some good football but you have to finish teams off."

Couldn't have put it better myself. Inconceivable to have lost that match. Sums the whole season up, I guess, as a win would have put Spurs in seventh spot. Bah.

Then...yesterday evening I was a little tired (maybe because I'd sat drinking beer in front of the football all afternoon, haha) and I inadvertently formatted my external hard drive which contains ALL of my music/films/tv series. Imagine my joy! I'm in the process of trying to recover all my ill-gotten gains as we "speak". Wish me luck...

On the upside I'm now sampling a variety of Easter beers on a sunny Sunday afternoon, so I'll survive.

I'm with stupid.

Saturday, April 04, 2009

Punk as fuck

Sunshine Saturday morning. Apparently it's gonna be 18 degrees tomorrow. I doubt that very much but it's a lovely thought haha.
I want to get my summer wheels on the car. Nice big eighteen-inchers. Whoppers. We likes 'em big. You knows it.
Spurs (hopefully) resume their belated push for one of the European spots in the League away to Blackburn today. Ledley has had two weeks of recuperation time so he should be fit to play. Which automatically means we have a way better chance of winning the match...
What's the opposite of the verb "to jailbreak"? I have un-jailbroken my iPhone ready for the big os3.0 update later on this year. Nice. I've even bought a few of the apps I've been trying out. Good boy.
Liam Gallagher's new clothing line Pretty Green (named after the Jam song presumably) is out soon. There's a video on the website where he gives his verdict on the "skinny look" so popular at the moment. Hilarious, haha.
Today I am stripey.

Sunday, March 29, 2009

Closer than a secret agent working undercover...

we are each other

Mmmm...goths.
The weather is beautiful this afternoon. Pity I've lost my mojo and am feeling little and sick. Poor lamb. Get well soon, eh? What I'd like to be doing now is sitting somewhere cosy eating ice cream. Or something. A weekend away somewhere might be nice too. A city break. Shopping. Still mad for it.
Wales have lost another World Cup qualifying match so as usual the campaign is over before it's even begun.
Isn't the new England strip nice? Old-school. We likes it.

Saturday, March 28, 2009

Ten percent of all human beings ever born are alive at this moment

Today I hurt my leg. My bleedin' calf twanged painfully as I demonstrated my silky skills at the last indoor training session for Joel. Bah. It's been building up to it all week but today was the day. Ouch.
I broke my self-imposed jeans-buying ban this week too. Big style. I've fallen off the wagon. Oh well...at least I'll look good lying there by the roadside. Snigger.
Lots of half-assed snow which turned to mush this week. Hopefully it'll be the last of it before Spring turns up.
Wales versus Finland in the World Cup qualifiers today. Rub rub.
My name is Jonathan Slocombe and I'm a shopaholic...

Sunday, March 22, 2009

You look a f*%king mess

Spurs are in the top half of the League FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON.
It's only taken, typ, seven months, mohahah. Najs.

In a belted coat, well I secretly knew...

that you hadn't a clue

Spurs are in the top half of the table for the first time this season.
It's only taken, typ, seven months, mohaha. I knew it was only a matter of time. Ahem.

It's raining again...I'm hearing the pitter-patter now...

Cool your beans my son

Oh, happy days. A magnificent Spurs win against Chelsea for the first time in donkeys' years. Thoroughly deserved too. Lovely. Jenas and Palacios added the bite in midfield and Modric was a mercurial genius. Ahem.
Quite a bit colder today...no sun at all to speak of. Ideal weather to stand around watching my oldest boy play his first football match of the year in. Not. Bah.
I won't speak of the rugby, but my Slocombe blood has a tinge of Irish in it, so I can't feel too gutted, heh heh.

Let's see that again shall we...?

This week I shall be cleaning out my closet. Maybe. So that I can fit more stuff inside it.
Oh, as I write, the sun has popped it's beautiful head out for a while.
Let's go outside...

Saturday, March 21, 2009

And you answered like a kiss...

on black velvet




Wales are gunning for (another) Triple Crown today. Although they'll have to ruin the Oirish Grand Slam aspirations to achieve it. A thirteen-point winning margin will see a successful defence of the Six Nations title too. Come on!
Spurs take on Chelski in the League today too, having not lost against the top four teams all season. Hoping for the best. The talismanic Big Ledders should be present so...
It's a beautiful, sunny day. Last night was the first barbie of the year. I froze my nuts off out there by the grill but it was worth it, heh heh.
My head feels nice. If I do say so myself.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

But they never knew like we knew me and you were the same

Oh, I really really wanna see The Damned United film. There's nobody approaching Mr Clough in the modern game. More's the pity. As a player he scored 251 goals in 274 games.
Zlatan my arse.
I'm particularly looking forward to the infamous Dirty Leeds v Liverpool Charity Shield match in which Billy Bremner "spent most of his time on the pitch practising kung fu on Kevin Keegan’s testicles" mohaha.

The recent Spring-like weather continues apace, though apparently it's gonna be a little colder the next few days, so I hear.
I've shaved my head. For the Summer.


The 50 Greatest Tottenham Players Of All Time???

Sunday, March 15, 2009

I fall for this season every time...



Äntligen a bit of Springshine!
I loves it.

Wales struggled a little with their second-string side against the Italians in the rugby but came good in the end. Of course the bloody English press jumped on it and made out that they have no chance against the Irish next week. The Oirish themselves didn't exactly run up a huge score against the Scots yesterday either but are apparently 'charging' towards the Grand Slam. Hmmm.

Spurs against Villa on telly now. Some points here would be very welome. Rub rub rub. Come on!
Newsflash: 1-0 to the Tottenham! Fingers crossed and thumbs held...

Saturday, March 14, 2009

Everybody knows it sucks to grow up...

The Spencemeister and I waiting for the footy to begin. Easy like Saturday afternoon.

Still a bit of half-assed snow lying around and melting all over the place. No sign of Springtime. WTF?!?

Thursday, March 12, 2009

When the band sang "Didn't I Blow Your Mind"

we sucked as hard as we blew...

Okay, so today is the 12th March.
I ask you...what on earth is the bloody point?

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

...the sun shines out of our behinds

Serious...this feller (pictured above) is absolute nails. He saw his underwater photographer mate being circled by a 12ft shark on a fishing trip. So what does he do...?
Jumps into the water with his harpoon and places himself between the big, nasty fish and his buddy. Then, thinking the shark is circling ready to attack he lets loose with his gun, spearing the shark through the gills. Not satisfied with that, he realises that he's fatally wounded the shark, so tries to do the decent thing and finish "him" off quickly.
This he achieves with a limited degree of success by shooting the shark repeatedly around the head area. Six times I believe. This not having done the trick, after two hours he finally kills the thing with a knife. A knife! We salute you.

Reminds me of this

I'd have done exactly the same thing meself in his shoes. Or his flippers. Whatever.

Sunday, March 08, 2009

Let the happiness in

Last night I went to see Glasvegas på Stora Teatern here in Göteborg. I'd not really listened to the album that much, so didn't have too much of an idea what to expect.
As it goes, they were bloody excellent.
Four skinny white boys dressed in black playing loud guitar music. What's not to like?

Admittedly one of the boys was a plump girl and another one could hardly be considered skinny at all, but still...right from the moment they came on and burst into "Geraldine" it was magnificent. Proper, uplifting rock music. Fists punching, hunched over guitars, big choruses, blood and thunder, energy to spare rocktastic. Like Ride on steroids. And with a little more showmanship and less shoe-gazing. And less hair. And more black.
We like.

Today I woke up to snow. Again. Which eventually, of course, turned into rain and slush. Give it up already and let the Spring in. Säger jag.

Saturday, March 07, 2009

Inky blue skies away

Saturday morning. A light smattering of pathetic watery snow. I ask you - what is the point? Useless. Bring on the Springtime I say.

After the disappointment of the Cup Final last weekend (and when are they gonna bring in a rule to ban English players from taking penalties anyway? Pathetic. It gives goalkeepers an unfair advantage, ha ha) Spurs recorded a tremendous 4-0 victory over so-called 'Boro'. Robbie Keane off the mark in his second stint at the club.
Woohoo!
Another six-pointer away at Sunderland in a few hours. Come on!

I think - if it's even possible - that I'm liking stripes even more this week than last week. I'm silly for them.
Another thing I'm liking right now is s.h.o.p.p.i.n.g. I have a problem.

A couple of days ago I got myself some more ink.
