On the National Theatre's idea of art

Liz has spent the evening watching a play about rent boys with her mother. Quality family entertainment.

On evil stationery

Liz has just stabbed herself in the back with a biro.

On shell-shaped chocolates

On thinking far too much about the plot of Glee

Liz is struggling to suspend disbelief that Rachel can't recognise Idina Menzel's voice, when we know that Defying Gravity's her all-time favourite showtune. A ridiculous thing to worry about? Quite possibly.

[She made it - in her gym kit.]

On her inability to get through ticket barriers and the evil-ness of TfL

Liz suffered the double humiliation of getting stuck in a ticket barrier and being yelled at by a TfL employee this morning. In future she will not ask for help to get unstuck and will instead remain in the barriers all day...

On clergy encouraging political violence

Liz was encouraged by a vicar to kick any Conservatives she passed on her way out of church, but resisted the urge to do so. Moral high ground taken and faith in clergy restored.

On unsuitable film choices when broken-hearted

Liz reckons tonight is probably not the night to watch He's Just Not That Into You and will instead edify her mind with her film choice, possibly via something subtitled...
