This is a link to a video. If you watch it at about the thirty second mark, and listen to the way he says 'Dungeons and Dragons!', you'll have a pretty good idea how I said the next sentence when I first found out.
The Duchess of Cambridge is making a public appearance!
Now, I can't say I haven't seen Kate for months, because that isn't true, but what I can say is that it's been a very. very long time since I've seen her without baby George stuck to her like glue.
And, while I'm speaking about this, that is Prince George's first official picture. It was taken by his grandfather, the one who isn't royalty, and the only thing anyone can talk about is that the picture isn't very good quality. Well, critics, I just have one thing to say : No one cares. The people who are going to be looking at these pictures aren't professional photographers. They don't care that the lighting is bad, or that Michael Middleton doesn't know how to use photoshop. All they're going to be extremely chuffed to see a picture of their future king. Or England's future king, anyway.
This picture comes right after Prince William gave his first interview post-George, in which he says a lot of... things about his son. Watch the interview on YouTube (And if you're feeling particularly nuts, you can read what Suri has to say about him. She now writes about George under the tag 'hrh prince george of cambridge'). All through the interview, he calls Kate Catherine, which I find a bit weird. Is he doing it because she's really Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and he feels that people should call her by her given name and is trying to set an example? Because that's rubbish. Everyone calls her Kate, and they aren't going to change because Prince William subtly hints at it. He could just as well have called her 'Poppet', like he did outside the hospital.
But I'm going to veer away from the royal family for a paragraph or so. You'll notice that although this post is dated August 17th, which was a Saturday, it wasn't actually written then. That's fairly obvious because the official pictures of Prince George weren't released until Monday, August 19th, two days after the post was allegedly written. And that's because, ever since I discovered things like YouTube, and tumblr, I've been spending almost all my time there, and very little time reading and writing. And I'm worried that I've started to dislike it, to think of it as a chore. And while the Internet is all very fun and occasionally educational, it's nothing on books and paper. It's like finding a penny and losing a pound.
And now that I've got my title reference in there, I'll stop writing on Tuesday.
Oh. I could have pretended to have traveled forward in time, got the pictures from Monday and posted them on Saturday. I didn't think of that before just now, and I'm not even sure that's accurate as far as time-travel goes. Picture:
