Mia and the Princess Diaries

I have been missing from this blog since last week...and I've been missing in action. This reminds me so much of Mia of the Princess Diaries. You know her, Anne Hathaway, so cool good looking woman in that movie. I caught a few scenes of the movie on Sunday just before EEDC thought it wise to disengage my interest. You ask, why don't just disconnect the national power supply and rest your life and hopes on the generators? I wish you would make my life easier with removing the noise from the generator, perhaps nobody would talk  about heaven any longer. And that would also include making it possible to fetch petrol from the borehole and make the price just as affordable as water. Hmmm...wouldn't that be Nirvana?

How do you like the young lady striking this elegant pose? I like her but the boots? Cough.  Yeah, that's the point. She's a princess but liked the ghetto life. She almost ran away from a life of fun just because it was scary to have so much responsibility. It's like asking me to become the President of Nigeria. Sorry, President Buhari, I'm not interested in stealing your show. I've got a lot on my plate now...maybe.

In my own life, I have been very busy typing out question papers for schools in my area this week. It's the examination season and I have the fortunate (maybe unfortunate fat) instance of being contracted to do the work at what I consider a very modest (no, bad) price given my education and all the corrections I have had to make for them. Anyway, if you don't like them you leave them alone. Abi? That's how it's been. And my computer packed up on me on Wednesday. I had to bring in this IT guy who miraculously rebooted the computer after making some repairs. You see, it's so cool to be educated. I would have been quite distraught if I had lost some files/documents. He's got a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, the IT guy. What I learnt of Computer Engineering a decade ago wasn't very helpful. Maybe I should add Computer Science to some of the knowledge to acquire in this lifetime. I hope not. Oh! I'm learning MS Word 2007. Can you beat that? I had refused to work with it sticking to Word 2003 (which Microsoft doesn't support any longer) and it's been *tough. It's that thing Igbo say that "agadi nwanyi anaghi amu aka ekpe na nka." You don't learn a new dance in old age. OK. Next!

The movie, Princess Diaries, reminded so much about Coming to America. I almost thought it would be the same plot in the two movies but not really. But some things were similar, like finding a spouse for the royal child or grand child or heir/heiress. It worked out that I will still buy a copy of the movie Princess Diaries 2 and 3 to watch it at my leisure and not count on EEDC to save my sanity. Watching stuff on cable is really fun. You don't have to wonder what to do with all the CDs in your house, after all. So, that's it. I'm back (maybe)! I have to get back to work; some deadlines are fast approaching and I don't want anybody moving their examination dates for me. And don't forget to send Errand Lucy to fetch all your conveniences this weekend. Have a lovely weekend! It's Friday. Relax, strike a pose and have fun.
