Thanked: 485Wednesday
Well, you’ll be happy to know I’m feeling rather chipper this morning. Happy, as now you won’t have to listen to me lament quite so much. I’ll still lament a little, but not like a Jewish woman at a funeral as I have been. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, especially if you’re a Jewish woman at a funeral, but if you’re a Jewish woman at a birthday party or an Australian man with a mild illness in the water works area, I guess one should display the emotions that best fit. I mean, imagine being a Jewish woman at a birthday party and acting like it was a funeral? I’m sure you’d get an odd look or two. It’s possible I need to control my lamenting. I’m sounding rather, how you say? melancholy lately. A little ‘dans une ambiance bleu’. I needed to Google that phrase, I can’t actually speak anything but English, unfortunately. If you use Google language tools and look up that phrase and translate it to French, and then click the ‘listen’ button, you get a really sexy French lady talking to you. I immediately felt like I was in a Foreign movie. Top Marks Google’s French lady. I might look up ‘in a blue mood’ in Spanish and see which one has the nicest lady translating it. Then again, it might be quite random and I’d get some Portugese drug dealer or labourer. That would really kill the mood. Maybe I shouldn’t try another one and rest quietly fantasising about how healthy the Swedish lady sounds, or how strong and supportive (and slightly scary) the Russian lady sounds. Maybe Google should make it so you can choose your person. You could choose by age, gender, occupation. Then maybe a few option buttons so you can select little nuances, like emotional state, number of alcoholic drinks. So you could choose an angry, drunk, 60 year old, Chinese bricklayer to tell you he was 'in a blue mood’ and not really feel like caring a great deal. OR, you could go for a tipsy, excited, young, Finnish student and wonder what sort of really excellent anti-depressants she was on. Google really is a wonderful thing.
I guess I should say something about the shave, sorry; I got carried away with the Google proposal thing. Great shave with a great razor. I love the shape and size of this razor. I need a way of working out where the heel is actually going to cut, though. I keep misjudging and trimming to close around the goatee. Believe it or not, I’m thinking about getting the frame gold plated, I wonder if that can be done?

Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
