If only Mama Snow Monkey had a waterproof pram!

It is very silly to put anti-piracy ads at the beginning of DVDs, and especially those that urge customers not to purchase illegal DVDs. Either I purchased this - fully legal - DVD or I stole it, in which case your conceit that I wouldn't lift it from a shop (and thus should be equally unwilling to purchase a nefarious copy) is clearly false. And either way, I clearly don't need another copy, so I won't be purchasing an illegal one from some dodgy fellow standing in a dark alley way. The whole concept is foolish. On the plus side, they do have better visuals than that stunt-guy one they show in US cinemas- check out those Photoshopped flames! They even have a branding iron shaped like a copyright symbol. Which as a punishment would be both hilariously fitting and clearly a violation of various international sanctions against cruel and unusual punishment.

You'll never guess the weather we had today. It rained. Happens every now and again. It's always so much fun to walk up the High St. during a rain shower to see all the babies Saran-Wrapped into their prams, kicking out against what I can only assume they understand as an invisible and impenetrable force field placed there by an evil overlords, namely their mum. This is an opinion that is unlikely to change much for them over the next 18 to 19 years. But I'd forgotten my umbrella and was tired, and I really, REALLY wished I had a giant pram all my own to ride in as I was pushed along by some eleven foot tall nursemaid with a tattoo that reads "Cake" on her burly left forearm. She's a lefty. It mostly doesn't bother her, 'cept for the fact that it kept her from competing in Women's Shotput internationally... She accidentally hit a judge in the eye at an Olympic qualifier. He didn't know where to stand see...

Anyway, I'm keeping it short this week as I've roughly 15-20 pages worth of essays to write before next Tuesday. So that isn't going to be any fun at all... But then it's Interval! I'm taking the train to Bristol, and then it's on to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day! Booooyah! I'm going to take MASSIVE amounts of pictures. I'm so excited already! TTYL, TTFN.
