Crappy justifications

A clothes company said they were introducing size 00 because of customer demand:

I wonder, if I complained that their clothes were too small, would they rush out bigger sizes? (Most US shops go up to a 14, sometimes a 16--and at the top end, the size difference US-UK is often only 1 size, not 2.)

Failed experiment

I felt like watching a DVD from bed. But there's no TV in there. So I tried using the laptop. The idea was good, but it proved impossible to get a good viewing angle with the laptop propped on the bed, and the bedside table is too low.

However, I realised that now that we have a new bed with accompanying new duvet, I can curl up with the old one on the sofa ;) Neil would tut and call me lazy, but it is warm and cosy! (The central heating is on a timer and I don't want to play with it--plus, being wrapped in a duvet is NICE!)

Annoying things: I only get 1 bar on my wireless signal in the bedroom, and I've had to downgrade from Firefox 2.0 because it randomly freezes and requires a "force quit".
