I am really hungry but have just taken penicillin, so have to wait for an hour before I eat anything. Honestly, antibiotics are really antisocial things. I have been stuck at home since Sunday and am starting to feel the cabin fever creeping in now. I don't think I'm going to go on a rampage or anything though as that's not really my style, so ( Read more... )

I'm ill! I've been under the weather for about a week and a half and thought I was getting better, but on Sunday, after a nap, I awoke to find myself with the most excruciating ear ache that I think I've ever had. Over that night the deafness spread to both ears, which remain blocked. I went to the doctor yesterday who confirmed that I had a ( Read more... )

Yes, I like avant-garde music and, as a result of this, find most other music slightly dull and lifeless in comparison. (You know, its a bit like going to a Gilbert and George exhibition and then coming home and looking at your Scarface poster.) However, there is something deeply satisfying and enjoyable about this, and, frankly, I don't care who ( Read more... )

I'm listening to the Manic's latest album. And I'm finding them as frustrating as ever because I like it, but it somehow falls short of greatness. Maybe its a grower. It does have a fairly decent cover of John Lennon's Working Class Hero as a hidden track though. I'll give it a few more listens and post a review on thepopculture I think ( Read more... )

Bitter first - the bank have cancelled my direct debit to the finance company that I owe money to for my car, which makes a really fucking sticky situation. The bank have this fucking hardcore policy with me at the moment to let give me any kind of "informal overdraft", which means that they deny anything that would take me over my agreed limit.

I went to the doctor's yesterday and was told that I had indeed sprained my back and not slipped a disc or got lumbago or anything sinister. It was a different doctor and I was told that the reason that it hurt so much was because, when I initially hurt myself last week, I overdid it by getting on with things when I should have rested and because ( Read more... )

24 hours on and I'm still lying flat on my back in pain. I'm beginning to regret saying that I would definitely be back at work tomorrow, because I really don't know how I'm going to cope. I'm still doing my regime of lying down, walking around the house and lying down again and I hope that this works. I'm watching daytime television as a ( Read more... )

I am off work for two days because of my bad back. Which annoys the hell out of me because when I am lying down, like I am now, I feel fine and like I should be at work. It's only when I get up that I realise that taking the time off is really the only sensible option. I have said that I will definitely be back on Saturday morning, which I will ( Read more... )

Happy valentine's day kids, unless you are lonely, in which case I hope that you didn't get too depressed ( Read more... )
