The 2nd best day of the week
Things that have made me smile today:
- Alexis Petridis’s excellent piece in G2 on Smash Hits going down the dumper. My pop loving Smash Hit reading years (12-16) - learning the song lyrics by heart, putting the posters on my walls, dancing round my room - were probably much more influential then my pretentious indie kid NME reading years (16-18) - predominantly involved sulking and looking down on those who did read Smash Hits - not that I would have admitted to it then, and maybe I shouldn’t now…
- Turkish Delight Dairy Milk bars. Ok so eating a bar on the tube is not quite like the magical land of Narnia but there is the advantage of not being turned into an ice statue by the White Witch
- The existence of Fridays. Mr Matt recenly termed Wednesday the 4th best day of the week, I’d like to award 2nd best day of the week to Friday, although its clearly not as good as Saturdays.
What colour is Friday?: Bubble gum pink
Day tripping to: Oxford tomorrow
Listening to: Shaggy It wasn’t me
