:: Dodgy Merchandise ::

Not much to post today, partly given a recent net-surfing crackdown by my boss. This on the day before my contract was renewed for another three paltry months. Time to look elsewhere (again) for employment, methinks.

On a more positive note, things are going well in preparation for the proposed production of Shakers Re-stirred. The only drawback is the enormous amount of time I seem to spend splitting out scenes in preparation for casting and blocking. Heartfelt thanks must go to La Gribouilleuse for choosing the play in the first place. Not to mention the hours spent with her cats "helping out" as we frenetically compare notes:

- Which one's Tracey now?
- I love the seafood pasta bit!
- Oooh - I think it's Carol!
- No it's Adele!
- what about the shorts?
- They don't have to wear them.
- Definitely not - they've got it the wrong way round in the stage directions...

Oh dear, we seem to be turning into our own disjointed version of the play...

Never mind, while I'm off for a weekend of washing, cleaning, reading and partying, I leave you with a couple of retail opportunities. If you're so inclined, you may wish to purchase a T-shirt emblazoned with the name of Our Esteemed Leader. On the other hand, if you need to do a really big shop, you could go to this mighty retail outlet.

See you at the Red Bull Flugtag in Hyde Park on Sunday!

EDIT - Friday insanity has just overtaken the workplace. A van turned up outside the office and started unloading crates of a new drink to reception. Apparently we are only the second office in London to be given samples of the new T of Life iced tea drink from Tetley. With 48 of the bottles in our floor's kitchen, alone, people have gleefully been supping their freebies...
...before deciding they don't like it very much after all. As a fan of iced tea, I would say this wasn't bad - the flavours are a bit funny and I prefer Lipton.
Of course, the best option of all is to make it yourself.
