   "3 o'clock. Mood: thoughtful. Tried out a new lipstick while listening to   
   'The Little Mermaid'. Then took a dump and noted with irritation that there   
   are pimples on my bum.   
      
   5 o'clock. Had sausage and chips with lots of tomato catsup for dinner. Read   
   a bit more of 'Twilight' and wept. If only Tolkien had had that sensitivity!   
   Beautiful.   
      
   8 o'clock. My friend Doraleen looked in. We agreed to watch the collected   
   episodes of 'Xena, Warrior Princess' together tonight. Then we swapped   
   pictures: she gave me one of those sexy ones of Orlando Bloom, and I gave   
   her the joke one where Viggo Mortensen is waggling his ears."
