The world was moving she was right there with it (and she was), The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was)

Things…

• I have sore elbows, I woke up about three nights ago with them looking like a 7yr old’s knees. They hurt. However, I’m more annoyed that I don’t know why and how they got like this.
• My eyes are sore too, but that’s contact lenses. Nothing mysterious, just thought I’d share.
• I have a job interview in the morning. As well as any good luck thoughts you may kindly wish to have, I’d like some good direction thoughts as I’ve not had chance to practice going there.
• And I’m having to wear full on heels because my only non-sk8terish flats make me look about 6.
• Oh and as well as my elbows I’m covered in little bite marks. Not impressed. I may be a fan of the loving more than one concept, but my idea of more than one does not include arm biting little bugs.
• I won a camera on eBay. I’m very proud that I did proper saving and selling of previous cameras to buy it. I am aching for it to turn up though, really badly want to get my hands on it.
• Bizarrely quite miffed that I’m missing a stats lesson tomorrow. This is not normal behaviour I’m sure.
• Desperately trying to remember what that plumbing foam that you get in tube shapes is called…it’s not sponge. I know that because I can touch it without freaking out, and I can’t touch sponge…but I want to know its name so I don’t look a complete numpty when I go to B&Q.
• I want it because I’m changing a nappy bag into a camera bag…I absolutely loathe camera bags, they’re hideous to look at…really truly fucking ugly…and I’m sure having a camera brand name plastered all over something isn’t tremendously safe with regards muggers et al.
• I have an eye test on Friday. I’m grumpy. it needs doing though if I want more contact lenses. Which I do. I like being able to see where I’m going and not getting run over. But I dislike the battle for my prescription, the attempts to sell me after care and pretty much the whole process.
• Though I hate the dentist more.

Little white flowers won’t wait for you

Anyone who has known me for a few years (which is most of you) knows I am quite interested in mental health, and have been keenly reading the updates of the forthcoming new DSM. Because I am *that* cool.

(Confusion) you know it’s driving me wild

No, not the usual.

Question here for my random occasional visitors. What’s going on at Sutton Scarsdale Hall that has meant my site and my Flickr pictures of the hall have had lots of vistors lately?

And the Sunday sun shines down on San Fransisco bay, and you realise you can’t make it anyway

Not much sun shining down “up North”* it has to be said. Got to college okay, but then had to come home again after JNBT was late to the lesson (having been sat in traffic for 2hours), and then college decided to close. Continue Reading…

So…

For anyone who wondered about such things I can confirm that even hypoallergenic connectors for heart monitors leave a hideous and itchy rash. I have a big red welt from yesterday’s one, which I had to swap and reposition a day early because in my sleep it was making me wake up thinking I was being strangled.

My rock and roll life

• So I will be spending this evening-and frankly the next blah days until they switch on (2 days before my birthday facthounds-for my birthday I’d like France to not vanish into a black hole)-reading the Twitter updates of CERN and nosing at the LHC portal site.

They Bought and Sold You

My attempt to make a beetle…

The beetle, should you wish to furnish yourself with one, comes courtesy of my old boss Steve. Actually he probably won’t have any beetles since he ended up with them by accident, but he has lots of little soldiery fellas and necrons if those chaps rock your world.

4 days 4 hours, 369 miles

I realised the other night, as I was stood at a cold, wet bus stop, that space has contracted over time. Well, from a Mathematical/Physical/Geographical point of view that’s not entirely true, but my world seems to have got smaller as I’ve got older.

“I don’t think there’s a punch-line scheduled, is there?”

In these immense gaps between posts, which are mostly borne out of it being a complete pain in the bum to type a wordpress post on a teeny tiny laptop, I’ve had to entertain myself otherwise.

Locally…

Tory gain. Infact most of the naffing county is a rather alarming shade of blue. However, national stuff aside in this ward and those nearby it is fairly easy to understand why an angry socialist area is looking like Cameron’s fuckbuddy.
