stuff, nonsense
Feb. 19th, 2008 06:09 pmOoooh, numerous muscle groups are plotting my demise right now. Things Wot Have Happened Lately, in no particular order:
! My dad bought a hat, of style long-brimmed and vaguely military, with fake button-straps. It is unclear for whom he bought it, but I have adopted it anyway because, in combo with my glasses, it makes me look a little like Patrick Stump, and also I can turn it backwards and it inexplicably looks sort of Kossack-y and very cool. However, I feel a bit of a tool wearing something fashionably pre-frayed. Nevertheless! Hat.
@ Canterbury: Ice 1, Captain Oblivious nil. I stacked it but good and did a humongous belly flop which knocked my breath to orbit and has resulted in deep purple bruises on my stomach and the base of my right thumb. In my defence these injuries were incurred when a foolish attempt to skate on one foot met with a less-than-smooth corner of the rink at low momentum. Others *coughnickycough* were less skillful. There was practically nobody else on the ice in the morning, so we all mucked around a lot, and then a friendly manager-type-dude came out and offered us some hockey sticks and a small orange ball. I'd never tried ice hockey before but I picked it up at speed and it turns out to be kind of awesome. I'm really not used to being that athletic though, which is why my muscles are in a state of revolt the day after. My ankles had sensibly spoken to their union representative and arranged for scheduled breaks and stretches, thus came through mostly intact, but my back was apparently on an AWA. I don't know how my arms got involved because they weren't even on contract - presumably someone hired them on the sly and paid them in cash, leaving numerous sore spots.
# Some guy sitting on the bus behind me just now kept getting calls on his mobile. He would then very loudly say things like "Yeah bro we can record in the morning yeah nah I'm on my way now bro it'll be cool bro" - and when he got up to leave he turned out to be one of those blingy types all in white with the baseball cap and the fake gold chains. I loled.
$ My university is a great boon to capitalism. The buildings are all interwoven with that section of the city, which means that in transit and waiting between lectures I'm bombarded with shopping opportunities I really can't afford. I sort of maybe bought another hat. Also a T shirt and a wrist band and a hair thing. Eep. At least they were reasonably cheap, unlike the boots I coveted with extreme prejudice and the hats in Dangerfield which are like WHOAH expensive.
% The blinds on my bedroom window are very old and very broken, which really impedes sleeping in as I'm on the eastern side of the house. Today my dad enlisted me to hold the vacuum cleaner while he drilled holes in my wall so as to hang another rolly-curtain type thing over the top of it - because... we're... going to replace al the blinds... at some point? Who knows! I felt like a ghost buster standing there with the vacuum tube over my shoulder, though! Also everything is covered in newspaper now.
In conclusion, I need a job. And a heat pack suit.
