Fri 5 November 2004 - Special offer!
TGIF. Somehow work seems even more laborious in an extra short week.
Retail special offers I have managed to resist this week:
- Ian Thorpe was signing copies of his biography at Dymocks on Wednesday lunchtime. Uhh, no thanks. Look, Thorpee’s impressive, but there’s a lot of other books ahead in the queue before I’d read his bio. Even a signed copy.
- 20% off all boxing gloves at Rebel Sport yesterday. As announced by a guy standing out front with a PA, just on the off-chance that the offer might be heard by a passer-by whose mission on a Thursday lunchtime was to buy some boxing gloves.
- Ever-someone in HMV on Friday at 4pm. Signing CDs I assume. Ever-who? Everlast? Everyday? Evermore. I think that was it. Not sure. Wrong demographic, obviously. If it was a lunchtime event, it would appeal to the office workers. 4pm, must be for the high school kiddies who can get there by then after school.

You could go to Angus and Rob and get a book signed by Terry Pratchett on Thursday!! Wouldn’t that be fun!! 12noon corner of Bourke and Elizabeth Streets I think. If I hadn’t just got a job I would have met you there.

Star Wars: Please don’t suck. If the good parts of the film were in the preview, I’m going to be very, very, very disappointed.

PS - You can keep SWIII. If I want to watch bad overacting, I’ll watch Neighbours.
