I went swimming today, for the first time in ages. I'm still horribly slow. I also found out that horses can't vomit but can feel seasickness. And our dishwater flooded the cupboard under the sink. And Heroes is on in 10 minutes yay!

I keep getting e-mails asking me to help the former president of the Philippines' wife to secure $18 million dollars without telling anyone (yeah, like I'm stupid enough to do that). But what's weird is, it's not coming to my Hotmail account. It's coming to my student e-mail account and I have no idea how a con-artist could have gotten hold of it ( Read more... )

I feel like I ought to do some writing today. Yet I also feel like I haven't done enough research to do the writing. Of course, this could just be my subconscious's way of rationalising my urge to avoid the actual physical revision of my chapter ( Read more... )

Wow. I start to go swimming and suddenly everybody's talking about pools and water parks! Well, not everybody, but enough that I notice!

That stupid cramp I had on Monday still hasn't completely gone. My right calf hurts when I get up to walk after being still for a while, and I'm constantly nervous that it's going to seize up on me again. It's not nice, being unable to trust your own legs. I don't like to go swimming when it's like this in case that sets it off, but I want to go ( Read more... )

The summer is two-thirds done and the weather here has turned windy-cold. It's been an on again-off again season weather-wise. There's been some brilliant days (which I've spent in the library) and some awful days (which I've also spent in the library - I need to get out more ( Read more... )

I swear, feet, if you blister today again, I'll cut you off and trade you in for a new pair. I'm fast running out of plasters. Also, brain, how can I go to bed with Adam and the Ants' "Prince Charming" in my head and wake up with Green Day's "Holiday"?

And Penny, stop moving my food in the fridge. ( Rant ahead )

So, got my eyes tested; once again, they're slightly worse but not bad enough to need a lens change. I've had my blue frames now for *thinks* *thinks again* too long to remember exactly lol. They're the most comfortable, best looking glasses I've had, and I love 'em. I wouldn't want to change them. I do need to get my spare glasses made into ( Read more... )

I changed my journal layout to Flexible Squares. I was getting fed up with Tabular Indent. I got my hair cut, then went swimming. I am a terrible swimmer. I learned front and back crawl in primary school but I don't think I was taught properly - or else I didn't learn properly. The rest of my time has been taken up with washing dogs, reading ( Read more... )
