I like adventures, especially the sort that start off due to a wager or perhaps having a glass of brandy too many. People don't bet each other enough if you ask me. When was the last time you bet something? I mean not in the mechanical process of gambling in a casino, but actually wagered someone that they couldn't eat two dozen eggs or that you could lift them above your head?
I mention this because my new mechanical pocket watch is making me want to take up all sorts of bets. Sadly getting around the world in 80 days is well a bit easy these days, but I'm sure some other sort of suitable challenge can be found. Something with just the right amount of danger and top hats.
I doubt I'll discover it this weekend. I still don't have my replacement bank cards, in typical bank style they delivered them while I was in Spain and now they are somewhere in the mystical void. Still, nothing like a bit of hardship to focus the mind, or at least focus the mind on how much you really don't like the girl who 'borrowed' your coat for an hour with out asking so she could have a cigarette and caused all these issues.
I don't know if I'd even forgive Audrey Tautou for that.
