The Blog of Lone

Work

Has been a looong day at work today.  Weddings always tend to be, but what doesn’t help is accidentally turning up to work two hours early.  Don’t get me wrong, the work isn’t all that hard (well, except for having to move loads of pianos around), but those extra two hours turn a bearable eleven and a half hour shift into a tiring thirteen and a half hours.  There’s only so much coffee you can drink before starting to shake like a heroin addict going cold turkey, and I reckon I was pushing the boundary line.

As predicted there was lots of cringe worthy granddad dancing, by people of all ages.  You know the kind of dance, where someone who has never heard a song before bop shuffles with slightly flailing arms, totally out of time to the music.  Just imagine your geriatric uncle Bob trying to dance to hip hop and you’re on the right tracks.  But it’s a wedding, so I guess it’s expected and acceptable.  The only memorable things were when the groom broke down crying mid-ceremony for five minutes and the bride’s wedding dress, which made her look like an all star quarterback in American football (think the White Witch from ‘The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe’ film).

Search

With all the wonders of cutting edge technology, which in this case involves a gang of bowler hat wearing monkeys locked in a dimly lit room, selotaped to top of the range laptops, smoking enormous cigars and drinking nothing but dry Martini’s, I can now find out exactly what goes down in the vague cyberspace recesses of the Blog.

One piece of gnostic illumination that particularly tickled me was being able to see the key words people are putting into search engines in order to find the Blog.  While ‘blog of lone dixstock’ (Dixstock being an annual event reported on uniquely by the Blog) is perfectly acceptable (I bet I can even name the person doing that search), I do worry about whoever found us by searching for ‘lone mad blog’ (possibly a bit insulted by that one), and I’m positively scared to imagine the person who searched for ‘get it down zulu warrior’.
