Update of Morningness, drifting through Lunch into Afternoonness
W00t, I have two new random friends! Luckily, I can see exactly why the people in question have friended me by looking at their user-info, so no paranoia :) Welcome!
Anyway I just thought I should do some sort of general update.
I did have a dream last night, but as it involved being beaten up by a gang of people, and then held down so some large fat guy could shit on my head, and then me racing a round one of those huge dream malls that might be ocean liners or hotels instead, hunting down those responsible and dispensing with them in nasty ways, I think I'd rather not detail it.
I suspect it might have been influenced by watching Crank! on Sunday evening. Not an amazing movie, with huge flaws in it, but it certainly got the excitement going, I found myself quite hyped up by the end of it.
Last night I was given a nice healthy jarratt_gray meal of chicken in yoghurt, lime, and coriander on rice, which might help offset the heart-attack meal of Saturday night ( beef burger with melted cheese and cheese kransky), and the plate of Weet-bix for dinner on Sunday. I have this theory you see, rather than trying to eat a balanced diet in each meal, I randomly eat healthy and unhealthy meals, or no meal at all, and assume it will all average out over time. No, I'm not interested in other theories, thank you. :)
I also dug out my Wood Elves last night, in the process of deciding to get rid of some more figures, and remembered just how lovely some of those way-watcher and war-dancer models are. I definitely don't need the earlier edition archers, far too bland and boring in comparison. Now all I need is some sucker to buy them. I have managed to get rid of some fifteens I'm never going to use on TradeMe, I now need to list all the ones still in the packaging. There must be a couple of armies worth. So much crap to get rid of. But so far all the crap has made a profit.
I've been watching bathroom and kitchen equipment on TradeMe, in preparation for getting something done about my crappy kitchen and bathroom. In doing that I saw this amazing shower-spa. Isn't that just the sort of thing I should have ? :) Ah, the baths that could be had in something like that! It costs about as much as a new Sony 42" LCD, and I think could be a lot more fun!
For those that don't follow whitewolf_lj, here's the story of Popo Bawa :Men in parts of Tanzania's main city, Dar es Salaam, are living in fear of a night-time sex attacker.
A BBC correspondent says the attacks are being blamed by some on a demon called "Popo Bawa" meaning winged bat.
Some men are staying awake or sleeping in groups outside their homes. Others are smearing themselves with pig's oil, believing this repels attacks
Hmm, sounds like a good excuse for a pile of men to smear themselves in "pig's oil" and cuddle up together outdoors... I can just imagine the conversation now :
Policeman: "Why are all you guys covered in oil and lying together in the street?"
Man covered in Oil: "We're protecting ourselves from the demon Popo Bawa! "
Policeman: "Yeah, right! You have the right to remain silent, and I suggest you use it!"
