Blimey, its been a while hasn't it?
right
er
Well, where to begin....
There's been the highly amusing (and not a little worrying) sight of Hull underwater (and stop moaning about it!! 95% of this city is below sea level, the concept of "bad drainage" really shouldn't be that difficult by now).
lovely visits from people who've managed to escape this city.
More hassle from work than I could shake a stick at.
The OCD has been "odd".
And most annoyingly, considering that neither of them go further than the garden, the cats picked up fleas from somewhere (its a war of attrition, but we're winning. Incidentally, when you have mental "issues", I'm not sure that actually having bugs crawling on you is a particularly good thing...
Anyway, things are generally good, although i seem to have managed to almost cease going out since the smoking ban took force (its not that I'm militant or anything; its just I'm going to wait til people work out how it works, because until that point, going outside for a cigarette is going to be a nightmare for everyone involved); I'm off to see Tool at the end of the month (yeah I know, plus the support band is Russian Circles, who sound interesting), I seem to have got sucked into "heroes" (damn you TV links!!)and started working out what sort of new guitar I want to get (any suggestions to the usual place)(I also decided I want a new amp, and as usual there's loads of pedals I want..I can't help it, its an addiction)
Anyway to chop off the rambling, so i can grab a shower before bed (the meds mess up my heat regulation,so consequently in summer, I'm too hot ALL THE TIME)
"Every fact of science was once Damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue.""
