The Psi Corps is your Friend. Trust the Corps.

Once again I ventured forth into Oxford in search of jeans. After a long and arduous quest upon which I tried on what seemed like every pair of appropriately sized jeans in the centre of town, I finally settled on something "good enough". That goal achieved, I did potter around the shops a little more, but in the end I decided that I really wasn't feeling up to anything more and beat a hasty retreat in the direction of home.

I am, you see, suffering from some sort of a lurgy- swollen glands and a sore throat, and generally not feeling on top form. Still, one has to soldier on, and it is more of a painful annoyance than a "can't face leaving bed" sort of a thing. I was dosing myself with a lemon and honey concoction suggested by sophie10, until I cleverly ran out of honey. More shopping tomorrow, methinks. Meanwhile, I really need to pop some more vicodin ibuprofen...

Ah, that's better. Anyway, on to the next, and something that probably won't mean anything to those of you who haven't watched Babylon 5. Earlier today, frayer sent me a picture message containing proof that the Psi Corps is, in fact, real. Yes, they're undergoing a re-branding exercise, but they can't hide the truth - I even managed to locate the web page for their assessment centre. Sinister stuff, indeed.

Anyway, back in TVland, I got a bit of a late start with Heroes - not X-Men, the TV show, honest - which definately shows promise, and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next episode (and if the cheerleader's mother turns out not to be Calista Flockhart, I'll be most disappointed). Next up was the season premiere of Lost, to which I say OMGWTFBBQFISHBISCUIT (oops, minor spoiler there) - stay tuned for my comment on next week's episode. After that, came my very late start on Rome - although, to be fair, I was waiting until I finished my way through Colleen McCullough's Roman novels - and I suspect that I'll be romping through the DVDs at high speed. Finally, there was the two-part opener for Battlestar Galactica - why is it that the second half always downloads faster? - which continues the high standard, and certainly gets the third season of to an interesting start.

Right, that's enough for one evening. I'm off to take a happy pill - or, at least, drop one into a nice, hot bath...

It seems to be an inviolable rule of business - as soon as you are producing exactly what your customers want, it's time to "improve" the product. New Coke, anyone? I also wonder exactly what the difference is between a £65 pair of Levi's and a £4 pair of jeans form Primark (other than that red tab, of course).
£65!!!! Good lord. Those better be some jeans. I mean, for that price they ought to not only reshape one's body however necessary but emit pheremones or something. :p
Alas, no - even a bog standard pair of 501s was £50. Welcome to Rip Off Britain...
