The big news story this week, as we all know, is the death of Michael Jackson. Here's my two cents: I think it's incredibly sad, but I'm not entirely surprised. I grew up on Michael Jackson - apparently him and Tina Turner were the two musicians I used to kick to when I was in the womb - and there can be no doubt that he was an incredibly talented musician and performer, whose work made a huge impact on the world of music. There is also no doubt that he was a very, very troubled man, with problems both mental and physical. When you consider the stress he must've put his body under with the operations alone, it's surprising in a way that he made it to fifty.
The current hype is understandable, and so far I haven't heard of anything too tasteless, but I hope it finishes soon. Let's give him a bit of dignity and his family some peace.

Oh yay it is so hot! Or when I say 'yay' I mean ... "until you have to ride your bike, or go to work or ride the bus, or teach a class"... or really anything that doesn't involve sitting under a tree going ahhhhh and eating lollies. I went bowling last night, now my feet have swollen up because of those dumb plastic shoes you have to wear that've had other peoples vile feet in them and how blimmin HOT they are. I came third at bowling, other people might have done better if they didn't
have such vanity about having the bumpers up. I don't care about the humiliation of having safety barriers up when i bowl, I'd rather that then be laughed at as every ball falls into the gutter
