Love hearts

Tonight I will be mostly eating pancakes, although I'm not exactly shriven or anything.

It's been a very productive day so far: I went to the post office to post things, then came home and have nearly finished my report, have done all the Excel stuff and have spent an hour reading the ultra-thick DTI Innovation report. I posted some sweets to New Zealand, but M frightened me by saying that a couple who took a packet of crisps into Australia were fined £6000 pounds. I think he was taking the piss, to be honest. Anyway NZ is not Australia. I had to check after that on the NZ post office site, but I couldn't find anything about packets of Love Hearts being a banned customs item. And these days Love Hearts say things like 'text me' and U R nice. These modern crazy kids.

hp_laserjet friended me a while ago and I was all 'whu?' It's a printer. But once you've been friended by a printer you never forget. I go back from time to time and see what it's been up to. Not much really, apart from its toner or paper has run out. But tonight I friended it, so whatever experiment the owner of the printer has been doing has worked because I have successfully anthropomorphised it. It just looked cute in its picture, okay? And a bit lonely and pathetic. One of the reasons it amuses me is because it acts like a printer with a livejournal would (or so I assume) - it's quite dull, doesn't tell you much. There's nothing in its life but printing, maybe flashing its lights. So I offered it a toner cartridge in the hope of stimulating it to tell me more about itself.
