i was tricked into an argument today by a 10 year old girl on the bus i work.  

me: come on - seat-belts on.

girl: excuse me - how old are you?

me: hmm... too old.

girl: how old?

me: (reluctantly) ... 30.

girl: no you're not!

me: yes i am.

girl: no you're not!

me: (sighs) ... yes i am.

girl: no you're not!

me: alright, how old am i then?

girl: (thinking) ... you're... 10.

me: no i'm not.

girl: yes you are!

me: (getting slightly annoyed) no i'm not!

girl: yes you are! you're 10!

me: i'm not 10!

girl: yes you are!

me: look... i'm really not.

girl: yes you are. you're 10 ... or you're ... 18.

me: (slightly wistfully) i wish i was 18...

girl: (with slightly too much relish) ... yeah, but you're not, are you... you're 30.

coming up with ideas for environmental newspapers is tough.

this is from a little story i was going to do about a dog who sees a mer-dog. i still may do it. this was just a test really.

 i almost went on a picnic yesterday, but then i didn't.

in other news, i need to work on my anecdotes.

i had an idea to design bookmarks for kindles, but i have recently been informed this idea is shit. here was my prototype.

happy valentine's day!

not many people realise that it is actually

 more traditional to celebrate valentine's day on the 4th of march 2013. 

don't let the greetings card companies fool you with their lies.

right - oscar got in trouble with the police so i had to send him off to military school, so that's the end of that for now.
