If Natasha Kaplinsky Wore A Hat…

…I would guess that it probably isn’t made out of a real walrus. It’s just a hunch I have. Only, not everybody seems to agree with me… Now that either says something bad about my sense of humour being terribly awry or something really bad about people’s perceptions of poor Natasha. 

‘Poor Natasha’? That’s just it: I’m now feeling sorry for the woman. Is it possible to be a satirist and yet have a heart? I’m beginning to think not. I also blame all these negative vibrations for the problems my PC has started to develop, crashing every time it goes into standby and refusing to play itunes. Does itunes have taste? Is it a protest about the kind of music I listen to? Or is it just XP throwing another strop? It never works like it should and becomes unstable only a month or two after I’ve reinstalled it. I’m also running low on disc space, which means a trip off to the shops to spend money I serious lack. I hate computers… I’d love a walrus though.

On a more pleasant note. The printer has just whirred to a stop and the first draft of my latest travesty is sitting cooling in the tray. I don’t know why I preserver writing this stuff but I guess we all live in hope…

    LOL. I have a Mac too (one of those iMacs with the dome bases) and although it’s great for writing and graphic work, I also needed a PC for more general work when I can easily get the software. If I ever earn decent money, I’d buy a Mac powerbook, with those twin core Intel chips…
