Things keeping me sane
It's been a tough few weeks for me.
Requiring a writer for exams (an experience which I will never reccommend) due to a broken hand; breaking up with my boyfriend of 6 month; looking after mum who just got back from hospital, and doing all her cleaning, cooking, washing and shopping, as well as my own; losing my ability to play the saxophone; having my laptop's harddrive die on me; the internet is slow; and lastly, but I feel, most importantly, I've just lost my 21st game of solitare in a row.
That said, I've been keeping sane. Well. as much as possbile (one can't expect miracles). Largely, thanks to comedy. Each night I've got a choice of The Big Bang Theory, Are you being Served?, or Fawlty Towers. I have QI. QI which reminded me that learning can be hilariously fun and everything I assume is wrong.
For QI, take this:
I have raided my Border's store for P.G Wodehouse books, which have brought me a bit of joy each night before bed. I mean, just take this:
"When in the second year of his marriage to Rosie M. Banks, the eminent female novelist, his union was blessed and this bouncing boy appeared on the London scene, Bingo's reactions (said the Crumpet) were, I gather, very much the same as yours. Introduced to the child in the nursing home, he recoiled with a startled 'Oi!' and as the days went by the feeling that he had run up against something red-hot in no way diminished.
The only thing that prevented a father's love from faltering was the fact that there was in his possession a photograph of himself at the same early age, in which he, too, looked like a homicidal fried egg. This proof that is was possible for a child, in spite of a rocky start, to turn eventually into a suave and polished boulevardier with finely chiselled features heartened him a good deal, causing him to hope for the best." --P.G Wodehouse, Eggs, Beans and Crumpets, 'Sonny Boy'
And finally, the rain. There's something so soothing about it :)
I'm tired, I'm stressed, and I'm sore, but I am laughing every chance I get.
PS Did you guys notice that 2012 MFU movie has its own IMDb page? It made me sad :'(
