On Celebrity
I'm not really into celebrity
When some celebrity turns up on the box, or in the papers, a state of ennui comes upon me. I don't know which one's which, who's on the way in and who's 'so last year'.
They all seem to have appeared, like so many sorts of coffee, at some moment whan I wasn't looking. In any case they're all about twelve years old and with more money than i will ever see. Most of them seem only to be famous for being famous so i can't see that even with my limited talents i couldn't be one too.
i seem not to have been looking when all sorts of things happened. Like where did perfectly normal filter coffee go? Now in a coffee bar you have to choose from a long list of coffees, each taking longer than the one before to make. In my day they asked, milk? sugar? but now they ask do you want it skinny? decaf? latte? How the hell would i know.
For years, I had to avoid coffee when I was up in town but my daughter came to the rescue. I have to order ' an americano with cold milk on the side'. It seems that's what they call plain ordinary coffe nowadays.
