And so it goes on...

Have just given my tiny mousepad a closer look. It is about five inches square, which means if you have a big mouse distance to cover you have to swipe frantically at the mousepad around twenty times, like when you use one of those charge up cars. You know, you have to drag it backwards loads of times and then let go. Then it dribbles forward about a foot and off you go again. Ah! The magic power of elastic bands. That's a real and lasting solution to the energy crisis right there...

Anyway on the reverse of the mousepad it claims:

"This is a flipmat. An ultra thin mousemat with an excellent mousing surface & a patented non-slip backing."

Mousing? Mousing?! I LOVE this new verb? How did I miss it? Can I define the verb 'To mouse'? Next time I'm teaching, I'll definitely be using that one. God I love the English language... Wow, I'm lame.

In other news: So this new Coca Cola Zero. Is that just Diet Coke or what? Is the word 'diet' now causing some kind of stigma? I hate it when you go to the pub and ask for a coke, and they say 'Diet?'. No... If I'd have wanted diet I'd have asked for it. That "diet coke" that comes from the pump tastes like crap. All the diet coke drinkers (until recently including myself) I know tend to have it as their staple liquid. I had to switch to the caffiene free diet coke and cut down on account of the fact that I'm twitchy enough as it is. Not just that, it was giving me heart palpitations. No one needs that.

Pfft. I'm so bored without my laptop. I was just going to mention my 'Mousing' and then go, but got a bit carried away. And I'll no doubt be back tomorrow. Don't mess yourself with excitement or anything. I sense it'll be more grumbling about my computerless state. I have 'mousing envy' apparently.
