My God. I was just watching Much Music. Soft Cell's Tainted Love is 20 years old, now. 20 years!

I was flirting with a waitress at my usual place today. I seem to be starting to realise that I'm single again. It's taken me long enough!

rand()m quote

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
