: Brief update
* EUC: rather good. Webcast: not so, it wasn't working. But I have recorded commentary highlights onto dictaphone from an Ireland v Italy group-phase match, which turned out to be a very interesting one to follow. These recordings could yet be mildly useful for the outside chance of a career in commentary that was suggested to me a while back.
* Aunt Maureen is, I think, a christian-pragmatist; she has an authoritarian think-of-the-children streak, but a very well-meaning one, and she has a liberal-socialist streak in her too (at the least, she opposed the Iraq war). The christian spiritualism seems to take a back seat these days, and that is nothing but a good thing considering she is a foster carer. It suits her, she's unquestionably a big kid and has a real affinity with children. That's what she does.
* It is anything but what I do.
* As such, things are rather awkward here, until I get control of either the PC or the TV. With cable!
* Whaddya know, Challenge's Millionaire reruns are at autumn 2003, and today came two undisputed forgotten classics. The second was Rob Mitchell's £218k loss - and good grief, I'd forgotten he'd 'done a Skillings' and stormed through the first twelve without a lifeline. One line here that proves Tarrant would save the Endemol Bunker: 'You've got a quarter of a million. It's your call.' Before that...
( We had the ultimate example of a situation I've discussed before in reference to my utility curve )
* May have mentioned this in Birmingham to![[info]](http://www.iziblog.net/img/userinfo.gif)
daweaver, but if not, or even if so, here it is. A fellow Aspie, upon hearing about my independence-driven utility curve, suggested a refinement, one that particularly affects the lower end of the curve; the function should depend upon comfort. Freedom from parental intervention is a part of this, but primarily at the base of the curve, and the argument was that I may have pretty much handled this already. Still won't stop me defining the top of the curve by the property market though, a place to call my own is of enormous benefit in comfort as well as independence. And there's something to affect the curve somewhere; furnishings. The softer the better, generally; I've mentioned my mild hypersensitivity regarding taste, sight and sound in some form, but it applies to touch too (oddly, not to smell; that is, by far, my weakest sense) and I very much have a liking for handling soft textures.
