girlsdontcry's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I really am upset so no one from New York or Paris must laugh at us The lies they tell children. According to this, some Barbie-branded armbands were designed "by Barbie herself". LIES. How could she? As if she would have time when she's so busy studying to become a nurse and a vet and an astronaut and a model, and all those other careers she's had. Oh, but maybe there is someone who is called Barbie Herself. Miss B Herself. But it seems unlikely. I am genuinely gutted that London's won the Olympics, this really is where I want to live and my horrid, gloating boss is telling me I'll have to leave the country (he is hilarious), but I don't want to, I want to be in London and the Olympics to be somewhere else. And I can't bear it when people say it's good for the city. Look at Sydney -- it has loads of empty stadiums, and the railway, which was actually quite reliable when I lived there, is now falling apart and there's not enough water in the dams, which seems like a big price to be paying for a few weeks of glory five years ago. But yeah, I'm just a horrible cynic, although apparently when my boss goes on about Bob Geldof being ridiculous then that's not cynicism, that's just hilarity. (Incidentally, lightning hit his plane on the press trip he stole from me. Also, the guy I was bitching about in this entry, well, apparently (as in I've had to listen to him go on about it all morning), his car was stolen.) 1:51 p.m. - 2005-07-06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
