World Cup 1, Avoiding It, 1
It should have been easy to avoid the World Cup yesterday; but I actually found myself filling in the scores on the free Broadcast-provided wallchart. It was just like being an 11-year-old kid all over again.
Still, managed to avoid most of today’s footie weirdness because a) we had to rescue a frog from our cat (where is she getting them from?) b) Star Trek copy writing needed doing c) a cartoon needed lettering – a new Greatcoat for Comics International d) housework and e) i finally managed to catch the finale of Smallville after Sky Plus mangled the recording earlier in the week.
How are you going to get out of this one, Clark Kent?
