Saturday night

is movie night, because movies are free.

I'd love to say that being poor has made me creative in terms of finding fun things to do. You know, walking in the park, making faces at babies, playing board games, riding for miles in the countryside and eating seasonal berries, spending hours in bed measuring our square footage in actual feet.

Not so.

Today, I spent some time photoshopping Emma's otherworldly redeye out of my holiday photos. I've done 150 pictures out of about 1000, and have now hit a wall because my computer is from the stone age (2004) and we've been through a lot together, but the experiences which have made me better, stronger and faster have made him cracked, lethargic and wretched. I'm crossing my fingers that a good night's sleep will perk him up.

I have been more productive, though. Item One: I have put up the pictures Eric bought me for Christmas 2006. See illustration. They are KICK ASS and without doubt the best thing I've ever ever received. Item two: is nothing I've produced, but I found these awesome maps online and am planning to go and visit them in London just as soon as I can. I wanted everyone to know about them! Maps are amazing.

Time for a calming drink, and then a terrifying film.
