Today’s study avoidance technique has been signing D up for Movember.
This is a charity event that takes place in November when men are
sponsored to grow moustaches for Prostate Cancer. And obviously this is
a good thing in itself and not just an excuse to see what he’d look
like with a Zapata moustache (though I have simulated the effect with
felt tip on a photo of him and stuck it to the fridge).
I’ve
started my new job in the evenings and it doesn’t seem very taxing so
far, just basic administrative stuff in a big empty office with a view
of the Barbican by night. Some of the cover I do will be in the daytime
and I expect that’s when most of the real work happens. On my way back
to Old Street I freaked myself out a bit when I was followed by a man
jingling keys in his pocket. I’m not sure why that was as I’m normally
a confident ‘walking around at night on my own’ sort of gal. I had to
stop suddenly and pretend to be examining something in the middle
distance to let him walk past me. Then I convinced myself he was
deliberately slowing down so I would catch him up. Poor man, I expect
he hadn’t even noticed me.
I’ve got a mysterious text message
today. It reads, ‘hi sweetie, u up 4 jetlag @ 9 xxx’ This is puzzling
in many ways. I think it’s probably a wrong number and after staring at
it for a long time I’ve decided ‘jetlag’ must be a club or bar. I’m
very tempted to accept but I can’t tell if the text is from a man or a
woman.
Oh, I’ve just Googled ‘jetlag’ and it seems to be a
fairly wanky-looking Japanese sports bar, so perhaps not. Unless of
course the Japanese sport in question is five-a-side bukkake, in which
case I’m missing out big time.

Lucy! I just thought of a brilliant money-making idea! You could approach sex toy companies, and offer to do reviews of their products on your blog; they'll pay you, they get advertising to a target audience, you get free sex toys. Win-Win-Win situation chaching!
