Random surreality of the day: while doing an internet search for �vitamin D sources,� because apparently I�m not getting enough (in Canada? In the winter? Go fucking figure!), I arrived at one of those useless directory pages that always pop up if you�re searching for something pretty generic. Under the requisite �Here you can get a lot of information about vitamin D sources!� blurb, the following text appeared:

There were also a pair of thin black slippers, which he put on without socks. When he went back into the living room, the lights were down except for two ceiling spots aimed at the center of the room. He started �strutting his stuff�, doing moves he remembered seeing at the ballet and some from TV � the music was fast rock, and he spun and twisted as he got into the mood.

The nutritional benefits of dancing in slippers are so often tragically overlooked. The rest of the page was just directory links. The internet is a puzzling place. Also, ballet moves to fast rock? Is this a lead-in to a gay porn site?

Today, as I pack my meagre possessions and do no work whatsoever, the girl in the cubicle has her radio playing. Perhaps it�s a CD, actually, because it seems to be a loop of Beyonce and Sean Paul songs. Maybe I won�t miss this place so much after all.
