One day at a time
Phil was going on about buying two graphics cards for his computer to get a better performance out of games this morning and its winding me up as I can't even affords the equivalent of one.
What the hell did he do right that I did wrong? All those exams etc account for nothing it seems.
Having a stir fry tonight which I'm looking forward to as Gemma is brilliant a cooking stir fry (if not answering her phone HINT) and I've got a bottle of good wine that I've been saving that might get cracked open.
Still at least a good chunk of my ebay stuff finally got posted off, just a case of waiting to see now with regards to disputes etc as you can bet your life something will go wrong.
All in all I'm quite chipper all things considered, just wish Gemma could find a job, it would do her the power of good and I wouldn't have to play the evil bastard that wont let her buy a bloody magazine.
Additionally I am really trying hard not to let my pronunciation and language slip, as both my father and phil have terrible grammar and use slang to a fault.
Phil says things along the line of "xbox is more better than ps3" which is painful to listen too and my father such eloquent terminology as "that will learn him" with no hint of irony.
Admittedly I use "that learned him good" etc, but only as means of annoying Gemma he uses it though because it appears he knows no better.
Perhaps this makes me a snob, perhaps it makes me someone that cares enough about language to try to preserve it in its current form and no dilute it to the point where it's not as useful a tool.
I'm not perfect, my spelling, grammar, vocabulary and listening skills all leave a lot to be desired, but I can carry on no longer with just grinning and bearing it as it is affecting the way I talk.
An I aint gonna 'av it as I is sick wich you talking not proper like wot I does.
