Sunday
The high point of my weekend was going to be
finding ASDA. In principle there is an ASDA store fairly
close to me, but I still have to find the place.
The executive summary of long boring slog was that I got lost and
coudn't find the store. Actually, as I was walking up a deserted road
I found that I needed a p*ss, so turned back into the warm arms
of Tesco in the Maryhill shopping centre.
I did find that I am living very close to a big fire station,
a police station, and a bingo hall. When I lived in Liverpool,
close to the end of Park Road, I also lived close to a
police station, fire station, and bingo hall. Coincidence?
I don't think so. I certainly don't plan where I live based
on where the fire station in the city is.
It is clear that I have not actually moved from Liverpool to Glasgow
at all. Both places don't exist, and there has just been a slight
rearrangement of the reality set where I live. I have read enough Philip
K. Dick novels to know that it may be time to get seriously paranoid.
However, I have a very Zen attitude about this. Even if I am the center
of some vast alien experiment, I can still buy CDs. Also Tesco is selling
5% cans of larger for 62p, so why rock the boat? That Judas
character in the first matrix film had a point, if you don't know
that reality is not real, do you really care?
I am disturbed that the Aliens seem to want to put a Bingo
hall close to me.
