3rd time lucky?

Here we go again

This is the THIRD time Ive tried to blog i the last 5 days. 
One minute its there the next it is just gorn. Freaking me out.
I lost what I reckon was about 3000 words on thursday night and about a thousand last night.

Played cricket yesterday. Made 35. Was annoying as I felt I should have made a hundred. Had the bowling at my total mercy until the sun got to me. Got a little dizzy. Oh well. The drinks break came a smidge too late to save me.

Blowed if i can remember what I was flogging on about the other night either.  I was flogging on I know that heh.

Some days timing is everything. I mowed the grass this morning. About ten minutes later it started raining like you wouldnt believe.

Tell me ladies
What do it all mean when a pretty young thing looks all embarrassed, lets her hair down n adjusts her breastic comfort/show levels when talking to a bloke? I know what I think it means.

Not real sure I believe it though.

I went to the pub after cricket last night. While it was a nice clean cheery place it reminded me of why I dislike pubs. Theyre full of drunk people or people seemingly attempting to gwt drunk. I am nt sure I like drunk people.
I wish the person who delivers our local newspaper would bother to trow it onto the FOOTPATH, not onto the damned road where it gets both wet and squished.
I also wish morons in shopping centres would notice when I have a full trolley n GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY when they are just wandering about doing jackshit.

so the new one is weird

 youll note ive done a new template

I wrote about 4000 words last night n lost it all when I went to preview instead of publish.

Blowed if i remember what I wrote.

Got my new (old) Cold Chisel CD today.
ahhhh
good

I see ive already had something to say about dickheads in holdens previously so sorry all 2 of ya.
The point remains though

Ive discovered that yellow labrador fur tastes terrible. I got mugged by Zena and Bella this arvo.
Heh
Let em in for a treat. They jumped all over me. Heh... They give each other pats with their front paws. So cute. 

Good ole Judge Judy heh
She sure dont take shit from dumb americans.

Get this off my chest

Played cricket on saturday didnt I?
Got subjected to the worst verbal abuse ive EVER heard in my life didnt I?
Bloke must have been 70 if he was a day, had a mouth like a sewer. Called myself and my teammates all the names under the sun didnt he?
Wrote a letter to the local cricket association didnt I?
So did my captain.

mouthy bastards.



Ive noticed that nearly EVERY dickhead in a car Ive seen in the past 4 months is driving a bloody holden. I'm talking 18 out of 20 of the bloody fools I see in cars are driving holdens. Lately we've had a P platers carnage epidemic on the roads. You'd think they'd maybe look at whats happening and SLOW THE FUCK DOWN a bit for a while... until the heat is off... Seems instead they are going all out to proof what total shitwits they are.

Just proving my theory that noone grows a brain until they are at least 25.
Also makes me realise just how lucky I was when I was 17.
None of my mates (the 3 that Id get in the car with) were idiots behind the wheel. Both the gfs i had back then I taught to drive so I knew what their skill levels were. While Im sure we drove in sometimes a risky manner we didnt do it when there were other people/cars about. Plain silly.

*sigh*

so my mate who runs a boarding kennel comes over n tells me theyve got a pure bred gold labrador bitch who needs a new home.

So the gurl says hmmmmmm i guess she could come for a bit of a visit to get away from the kennel for a while (been there tooo tooo long apparently). So anyway shes made herself quite at home.

still miss my Billy :/

The gurl says 'itd be wrong if you had him put to sleep, but cuz he slipped away quietly himself its ok to keep this new one'
Im not too sure about that.

Still n all Im a sucker for a damsel in distress
Im a sucker for a big wet tongue up the side of the face
Im a sucker for a big wagging tail
hell Im just a big fat sucker for nice dogs.
Gets on well with mums' gold lab bitch too. Real well. Tearing round their yard, our yard going wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ima GET you EEEK youre getting MEEEEEEEEEEE
N she DOES seem so happy to see me whenever ive gone out somewhere. i think she sleeps under my window.

she was VERY noisy at the kennels apparently. Is quiet as a mouse here. Whimpers a bit if she thinks shes gonna be left behind when we go somewhere (well DERRR unless we are going to mums' she aint coming with) n carries on like a pork chop at meal time. But i guess if id been stuck in a kennel for months id be a touch crazy too. she even likes the gurls' lil dog mocha , although based on mochas experience with Billy itll be a while b4 mocha accepts her (Billy thought she was a chew toy lol).
she has a totally poxy name though 'zena' oh well cant have everything though i think it should be spelt Xena (thats the greek ch sound NOT 'x' mr pedantic pants lol)damnit thats how ima spell it screw the iggerant.

RIP Billy Hazell 1996 - 2006

Friend
Playmate
Willing listener (even though deaf from birth)
Protector
Blue cattle dog.

Billy died after a typically male illness.
Prostate cancer.... Well atleast thats what we think it was in the end.

So mate,
to the best dog a bloke has ever had
I hope the pain is gone now
I hope youve met up with Zac and Noah and are playing with a self throwing Kong toy.
I hope there are plenty of cats to chase (theyre obviously in cat hell) and postmen to yell at.
Go walkies whenever you want my friend.
I hope you can hear now.


I miss you

back on the ole box

ahhh
thats better
i have my desktop back finally

nearly didnt - dropped the monitor going out the door at mums' place n sprained my ankle in the process. Monitor is fine thanks for asking. Now i can type proper n see proper. stupid notebook
stupid 233
stupid little screen

ok this is a regional bitch i know but

goddamn if EVERY dickhead ive seen on the road lately is in a holden. Its like they have small penises or something
even the women
drive like shitewits n then whimper when they crash

My dog is getting a bit better on antibiotics thank the gods.
i dont think i was/am ready to wish him fairwell just yet.

Here we are in our new home!!!

So much for saving up a while before moving into another house!

We found a place in Bligh Park (near Windsor) where several of my friends either have lived or do now. So I am very familiar with the area.
We have air conditioning!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
We have a fully enclosed carport (no it ISNT a garage but close)with no less than 3 garden sheds facing into it. Its a mini workshop!
One shed has power points, lights, air extractor AND workbench. pig in shit, me.
We have 3 bedrooms, study, 2 toilets, family/sunroom, nice ,modern kitchen and big enough dining room plus a good sized lounge. Outside we get a nice covered patio area plus a gazebo! theres no neighbours to the rear (following 6 years of tradition that - we have never had rear neighbours... just lucky i guess!!!!!), the block overlooks Windsor Downs ature reserve which has lots of walking tracks winding through it. We are on town water AND sewer (yeah yeah laugh but mum n dad are on pump out in their 6 year old home which SUCKS with more than 2 people living there).

The carport has 6 fluro lights AND 6 outdoor ppower points. My Peugeot is gonna live there. Itll be nice being able to work on the car(s) without cooking in the sun, without having to run stupid extension leads everywhere n on nice level concrete. I might just get myself a creepycrawler to get under the car!
It also has more powerpoints and phone jacks than any place ive ever seen. I am currently in the kitchen (big woop) but I could as easily be out in the shed, in the bedroom, in the laundry or in the back yard (i AM on the notebook currently)annnnnnnd
being in a nice newish area the telephone exchanges and relatively new phone lines can handle noticeably higher data tranfer speeds - ive never seen more than 42kps from my connexion n today its running at 49.5! The ONLY time Ive seen faster was an old 56K modem I had which was shall we say optimistic? So I'm rather happy. I also got to pick my own telephone number which was tres cool. We are at the end of a LOOONG cul de sac so theres no through traffic. No housing commission riff raff around either unlike where we were b4 in bathurst. AND its only $30 dearer than a place in housing commission hell (aka Sth Windsor) which was fibro, had no sheds, no carport, no A/C, shite kitchen, shite bathroom, only one toilet (big deal but hey ya get used to 2 in a real hurry), was in a scum street with neighbours who looked entirely too much like the local burglary union. This place is a quantom step up from there for not much more cash.

In short Im a well happy little camper today. My best mate (here) lives about 4 minutes away in the other part of the suburb, n I actually live in the suburb I play cricket for now lol. Its all nice n level so we can go bike riding without killing ourselves too. (Im lazy i know it but i figure Im not training for la Tour De France so hills can bite my shiny metal ass to quote my favourite cartoon character - bender from Futurama).

Other news.... hmmmmzzzzz

dog is sick... enlarged prostate ' its not uncommon in elderly dogs'
elderly dogs? ELDERLY DOGS? MY dog? elderly? That fine young blue heeler is ...*counts* only 10..... ten? shit... elderly may be right eh. Poor bugger cant go wee with any comfort :/
He has lost some weight though n looks well tough n fit to go with it. Cats in the area best watch out Billy is coming to town soooooon.

Anyway, pizza at mums' tonight so I gotta jet seeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaaaasss

stupid cops, dumb politicians etc

So the cops think it is ok to turn in front of 6 lines of traffic to pursue some outrageous criminal doing 110KPH in a 100 zone. Sounds bloody silly to me.

On the one hand I am happy that fat shit 'alleged' kiddy fiddler Orkopoulous (fmr minister of aboriginal affairs) DIDNT manage to top himself. One the other hand It might be good if he succeeded. Glad he survived so that the criminals can treat him to some of the crud he inflicted on kids over the years. Pity he is gonna waste a PILE of taxpayers' money keeping the creep alive.

Well I failed dismally on Saturday at cricket. Made 3. Was shitting the entire time too. Couldnt move my feet. Couldnt see the ball. felt weird.

going to Bendigo tomorrow.
Hope everyone is ok.

well well well

Is this a fancy typewriter or what?
Oh its a computer...
I remember these.
Ive been wandering about Windsor relearning where everything is etc.
My best mate has recruited me for his cricket team. Played my first game in 8 years last weekend (and this weekend - played over 2 weeks) did ok fielding. Scored 59 with the bat (TOP SCORE me)which was fantastic. We lost by 9 runs which was great given 2 of our batsmen didnt bother showing up. Played with a bat I paid $2 for at a Salvation Army store. Wicked - I didnt want to ruin my good ($35) bat I bought 2nd hand at a market in Melbourne, as it was raining off and on all weekend.

It is a bit tough getting online at the me as I cant tie up the phone here and late at night I have just been too darned tired to log on.

Mums' dog is such a cack. She is a 3 yo blonde labrador. She near turns inside out with excitement when you say the word 'walkies'. What is funny is MY dog gets rather snooty if HE doesnt get to go for a walk too. He has a sore back leg, is rather overweight, and getting on a bit but walk out without HIM n check out the filthy looks he gives. Mums' dog is slowly learning (from me) that treats arent a right but a privilege which she must take nice n delicately or she doesnt get them.also learning to heel on the lead n sit etc. She gets let run wild by the parents unfortunately.

We got rained out of a local swap this weekend. Glad we didnt drive a long way to go to it.

The Hamster At 500KPH

Hammond you GIT
Not only do I have to deal with a gurl gutted by Steve Irwins' passing then YOU go n prove what a twat you are n try vehiclur suicide at 500KPH.
Yes you are her favourite Topgear dude.

Hope you get better soon n get back to smashing caravans into each other.
BTW I reckon your cheap sports coupe comparo was missing a natural selection - the Renault Fuego. Ok not as fast as some of the other cars shown but I bet for the pittance you were paying you could have gotten one in rather good nick. Also the old series Alfetta GTV too was ignored.

God Im tired of public school communists i mean teachers bleating about government money going to private schools. I mean... obviously they think the parents who send their kids to private schools DONT pay taxes - unlike those unemployed etc who send their kids to public schools.... who DONT pay tax. They bleat on about lack of funds like it is a new thing! I remember when I was at school it was ALWAYS short of cash.

as for those 'entertainers' who refused to go to Iraq well we wont be buying your records anymore either - dont support the war support our troops.

God Italy hqas a gay national anthem. Anyone who whines about the Australian one orta listen to some others.

fingers crossed Osama Bin Ladin has died of some particularly noxious disease. I am not getting my hopes up though.

I intend to learn to surf soon.
yeah shut up laughing up the back there.

Been moving.
Many trips to the storage unit...check
many trips to the Salvos shop...check
many trips to dads' garage (4 hour round trip over the mountains)...check.I am now blogging on an old olsd Toshiba notebook which I finally finally hooked up to that thar innernet thingy. So if I make any typos stiff - I dont have my fave microsoft bendy keyboard.
I dislike how my backyard looks like a bomb went off in it whenever we move. No I am not a neat freak (though i suspect my mothers' OCD cleaning compulsion did in fact rub off a little).
Organised the carpet steam cleaning today for next week. Shits me. I used t odo it for a lliving and would likely do a better job with the little hire machines from woolworths than the guy with the truck we have hired. But nooo the real estate agents require a receipt for professional services - like I am not gonna be more motivated to save my bond!!

Thank god we have a wagon now though. Stuff just disappears into it.

Oh yeah
Rockmeister I will not be in Sydney at the end of Sept. We are going to Melbourne for a week as it is the gurls' nieces' 3rd birthday n she is rather taken with me for some reason. So we have to go down there.

Hmmm
I am not catholic. Dont believe. Looking for a sticker reading 'born again pagan'.
But SHIT if i dont wish the Pope would call for a damned crusade. They wanna flippin jihad ok... WE wanna crusade against militant morons who are still living in the 12th century. You dickheads PROVED the fat old german dress wearers' point rather neatly by your on cue, scripted, leqad about like cattle by the nose reactions. youre being played you sons of silly people.

Recent news from afghanistan.
australian soldiers 150
Taliban shitwits 3 (counting 6 wounded as, well,.... you know)
GIVE UP. our blokes are better trained, better equipped and not as stupid as your lot.
as for those wankers groaning about our troops making vids of some harmless horseplay LIGHTEN UP. You go get shot at every day n see ifn you dont get some gallows humour going.

Crikey...
I am still having trouble believe steve irwin is gone.

Friday, September 08, 2006

2 down...

Steve Irwin gone

Peter Brock gone

Who is next?

Can Australia afford to lose two fair dinkum legends in ONE week?

I was truly gobsmacked when I heard about steve Irwin
I think Im a bit sorta shocked that Brocky is gone.

so whats been happening

well finally
the blog god decided to lock me out for some reason.

not that anything outrageously exciting has happened here.

the gurl went to sydney for some balance tests on wednesday. I got to sit around creatively perving on all the cute nurses. I now know where all the cute nurses in NSW get sent (they DONT get sent to Bathurst or Windsor). So that didnt hurt toooo much (4 hours watching delightful young and delicious more senior women wandering about in front of me mmmmmm). See in my bio it SAYS im an old perv.

Looks like we are moving back to sydney. The gurl keeps getting sent there for tests etc. I has taken a while to convince her that just because we made the decision doesnt mean we have to start shifting shit immediately. She always wants to put the cart in front of the damned horse.

I found out how heavy encyclopedias are last week. Bought a whole set of world books for $5. Dont look like theyve ever been opened. Bloody heavy in a box though.

Someone mentioned squash the other day i said 'yeah.... I remember that' Havent played much lately. Just seemed to not get round to it. What it means is the victim is getting cheeky enough to beat me once in a while... cant have that so Im moving to sydney lol.

Looks like we licked the last problem in the peugeot. had a bad earth somewhere which was draining the battery. yay

seeyas tomorree

Boy howdy what fun

Lisa I think you like 2 1/2 men cuz of charlie sheen .... I like it cuz i htink Rose is hot (aside from it being funny).

What a rip
Jules got punted from Skating with the Stars.
The ONLY reason bloody Lara Bingle gets through is cuz of her smile.
The ONLY reason bloody Jake Wall gets through is cuz the chicks all go awwwwwwwww.
SHE doesnt do more than FUCK ALL actual skating in any one routine n neither does he.
And Im dirty cuz I thought JUles' partner Kristina was juuust as cute as a button

AAnd as far as I am concerned Torvill & Dean are still the best pair around. I reckon they could still do well competitively.

The gurl reckons every time I take a 2nd diabetes tablet I start vomiting. I think it is just coincidence. I think theyre working slowly but surely. All my clothes feel a bit looser. I feel better too.

Rocky you dope
the 'you sunk my battleship' was a simpsons reference.
I have NO idea what movie you are refering to.

heh mate I just finished reading Livys' account of the 2nd Punic War... only what? 13 years AFTER I did the course at uni for it. No... I NEVER read any of it when I did the assignments - if you can't cobble together a decent essay 'quoting' livy from modern texts then ya not trying eh? I actually found it rather engrossing! Not REEEEAL sure why scipio was given such a wrap though. Just took up the Augustan Histories. Then Ima revisit that anti- imperial diatribe more commonly known as Procopius' Secret History. no I am NOT gonna try to wade through Thucydides EVER. Never indeed have I read it cover to cover. Never will I. BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
May try wading through Polybius again though to find out what REALLY happened in the 2nd Punic.

Got grading tonight for squash again. I never really do well at grading for some reason. Hopefully tonight is different as I have not swamped myself with squash lately. Been a bit lazy tell the truth. I think sometimes I go to grading having too much play under my belt. Just a bit jaded. Past the peak sorta.

Mum is quietly hinting here n there that maybe we should move back down to sydney.
I dont really want to - but it would be a touch more convenient in many ways - the gurl could get a psych nurse she actually likes mebbe? Probably better services too. Cheaper fuel, cheaper food, dearer rent... hmmmz.

Whatever should I do?

Monday, August 14, 2006

Lazy lazy boy...

Having trouble working up any interest in anything lately.
Terminal ennui i think.

Don't ya love it when you get a prediction nnnneeeearly right?
I caled 'yasmins getting married' for 3 episodes before tanking. It lasted 4.
I dont think yasmin is gonna get hitched any time soon.

The ford wagon got new tyres (about the only thing I managed to work up any enthusiasm for) on Thursday. 4 (count em 4) brand new michelin XM1 tyres. Ahhhhhh... THATS better. And a wheel alignment eh. NOW it goes where it is pointed. Rides a bit better too. Now to get the new dampers installed (I have them they just aint in the car yet).

We polished both cars on friday too. yeah yeah washed them first. Now I dunno bout anyone else but my peugeot gets washed once every 6 months or so whether it needs it or not. There IS a drought on ya know. I THOUGHT it was silver! It is! Muddy brown just isnt the same . The general clean allowed me to discover that there is a cat wandering about here for which I have coined the phrase 'dead cat meowing' - It is dead it just doesnt know it yet. Actually its probably gonna be a race between meself n the bloke across the courtyard as to who gets the honour of wasting the furry little stinkbag. Yes BOTH our cars have suffered the depredations of a cat using our duco as a scratching post.Ima kill it if i catch it. Wring its sneaky little cat neck.

We in Australia are about to enter that televisual twilight zone known as 'Australian Idol' - this immediately after the nightmare on channel ten also known as Dont bother 6 i mean big brother 6, which was possibly even WORSE (if such thing be possible) than any BB before it. The only part of IDol worth watching is the auditions. There are some sad folks out there. *I* can sing better than most of them and I'm sure if you were to ask rocky he would assure you I CANT SING. Not to save my life. Cant hold a tune. Tone deaf. No rhythm. Scare deaf people my voice.
Didnt mind the 27yo yummy mummy they had in from Newcastle though. Might just have to watch it simply to perv on the hottest chick to grace aussie TV in a long long time (cepting anna choy n toni pearen *sighhhhhhh*).

There was ONE good thing to happen when Yasmin tanked - we got Futurama back AND in a miraculous piece of bare arsed fluke programing it is generally on right after the Simpsons - which is where it belongs. Thank the TV gods for small miracles. A completely SHITE show replaced by a rather funny show. I am bender insert girder... ROFL.

Love that 'How I met your Mother' featuring the edible Alyson Hannigan (Willow from Buffy) and the hottest brunette i think Ive ever seen on TV (innnc. Lauren Graham, Catherine Zeta, Sally Williams *shes on adverts here*, and others I cannot remember). Whats more aside from being a chick fest its actually quite funny and not in the 'what am I chopped liver' sense that made friends and seinfeld such a yawnfest.

My name is earl - not baaaad though Im totally over the intro now. Dunno why they think that blonde chick is so hot when the latino maid is sex walking.

2 and a half men - for me the comedy highlight of the viewing week.

Top Gear - ahhhhhhhhhhh a $300,000 dollar sports car? Yeah I'll burn the cllutch out n 4 wheel drift the arse off it n shhred shit out $1000 tyres all in the name of serious journalism. GOTTA LOVE THIS SHOW. I was especially pleased when they drove a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool. OH YEAH. whats that? Drop this here miniskip onto a Maserati? ok. awesome. dont buy a big expensive shitbox chysler V8 - the good ole holden monaro is half the price n EATS it. yeah baby yeah.

Bout time we had some new episodes of South Park.

Every Tuesday is a giggle when Soddoff Baldric ... I mean Tony Robinson hosts Time Team. Even the gurl is getting interested in ancient Romano Britsh archaeological remains ' oh this is heaps more interesting than i thought it would be!!' this even as my interest wanes. I am almost at the point where i think digging any more shit up is a gross waste of time and money for the most part - at least until the next ice age lowers world sea levels a hundred metres or so so we can find those sites currently under water. On that topic... people really ought to see a map of world sea levels over the last 100,000 years or so b4 bleating on about rising sea levels. Up down up down up down. This isnt a localised recent phenomenon shitwits. Its been happening for 100,000 years ATLEAST. Get over it.

Could Home and Away get any worse and unbelievable? Shit a brick. The writers have a case of terminal constipation i think. Who in their right mind would EVER want to live in a place like that? not me. Hell I am finding Neighbours more believable at the moment. I thought Headland was bad (no come to think truly verily it was indeed a gross piece of crap). Thank you yasmins getting married for tanking cuz NOW we can watch Futurama instead of Home and Away.

The Ronnie Johns Half Hour is back this week thank fuck. There should be a sticker 'may cause gut ruptures from too much laughing'.

SCi; CSI New York; CSI Miami..... original scraping by on the unboring stakes. New York I like Gary Scinese but can take or leave the rest (as IF a highly trained forensic pathologist - thats DOCTOR ie about 12 years at uni would chuck it in to be a shitty scene of crime tech - sorry but i CANNOT imagine that would be anything other than a pay cut of about 50%). Miami... god we take the piss out of the boss guys cadence and delivery of his lines. one word. Wanker.

Love NCIS cuz its juuuuuuust a little goofy.
Jag is back n frankly its kinda boring. Catherine *sigh* Bell looks like shes lost weight n frankly it doesnt look good on her. where went they sexy sexy sexy curves? She was the hottest woman on tvfor a while - I hope she hasnt caught hollywood syndrome.

Heard on the grapevine that Jessica Simpson asked Pamela Anderson how she managed to run so slowly at the start of Baywatch every week. Apparently Pammy patiently explained a little known technique called 'sssssslowwwwwwwwww motttttionn' camerawork. Hell even if its apocraphal its funny as hell.


grrr
ok ive had enough typing for today n the gurl has to go to the doctorb (thats a simpsons joke).

haha you sank my battleship.

Sunday, July 30, 2006

ARGHHHHHHHHHH what a MESS!!!!

We had shit EVERYWHERE yesterday.
Sorting stuff out for swapmeeting, stuff to go to the Salvos, stuff to go in the round file.
Burnt MORE money (sighhhh bins for stuff to put in the trailer).

Emptied the garden shed (stupid tiny shed... dont they KNOW blokes like BIG sheds to put stuff in??) Rearranged stuff. Rang my father to ask him what the weird looking grey thing with wheels, and a big red engine with the label 'briggs and stratton Quantom 50' was. He said 'sounds like a lawn mower' n then I cracked up laughing. See we dont get to use it much ... been here 2 years in October n its come out of the shed ONCE. So yesterday I hung it up on the wall of the shed. INSTANT floor space. Shit those things take up space! Helps not to throw stuff on the floor which could be put on the steel shelves I installed when we moved in!

I (we) have nearly 200 teddy bears of various shapes n sizes. I made the mistake of selling about 20 used Careflight bears (particular teddy sold by Careflight which is a medical emergency unit here in NSW)at a swap. Now everyone buys us bloody bears (ok ok dad bought a BOX full for $2) to sell.
I am gonna get a strip of velcro on one shoulder of my swapmeet shirt, n stick the Careflight bear i call 'Nudey Pilot Bear' (they all come with little flying or medical based outfits on, so you can have a pilot, or a doorman for the helicopter, a nurse, nurse in the helicopter, doctor, etc). I call him that cuz whoever had him b4 took his little leather jacket off n left his little leather flying cap. Ima ask him if someone makes an offer on something 'surright???' n then do the whole ventriloquist 'yeahhh surright' like the bear is approving the deal . This on top of wearing my Viking helmet. Dad wears red suspenders (NOT the leg type). I am gonna wear my viking helmet! heh

So anyway After I thought i was gonna die...

god Ive been sick

Since friday Ive lost 6 kilos (14ish pounds to the americans). Went to the hospital today. They sent me home 'nothing we can do - youll get over it'

Truth be told I am actually feeling a bit better tonight.

Had a revisit of the gastrointestinal upset I had in May. Murderous. Im surprised noone has actually died from it so far.

Im sorry I havent been blogggin much but stuff keeps getting in the way lately.
The gurl has to go down to sydney to see a neurologist next tuesday as the one up here cant fix her. We have been running about with that for weeks now.

Went to a swapmeet with dad last weekend. 6 hour drive in our new (old) falcon wagon. Rained for TWO WHOLE DAYS then stopped the day the swap was actually on. Sweeeett.

anyway
too weak to type anymore seeyas soon I hope

stuff n stuff

I think my eyesight is getting better
Everything looks a little sharper n better defined.
i feel a bit better too. Maybe the drugs are starting to work a little.

Bought new Nikes on Saturday. As i mentioned somewhere else I have been running about in shoes 2 sizes too big. I have now rectified that. Got dead sexy new nikes (superceded model on sspecial - totally poor I never buy this generation stuff, always stuff I can get at a big dscount. Hell I have been looking at swapmeets for 2nd hand shoes even).finally I dont run like a spaz anymore! The gurl wasnt too unhappy about me getting a pair as the last lot I got that actually FIT I bought in 2000, and I still wear them even though they are totally flogged.

Hopefully i will start to get back some of the fitness I lost through injury.

What a surprise eh?
A girl on Dont Bother 6 here was assaulted by 2 of the male housemembers. Time this sad sad show was axed. Time to admit that the latest bunch are all insipid idiots.
Lets face it - mix a bunch of stone age guys who are barely able to keep their knuckles from dragging, combined IQ smaller than their average shoe size, with too much booze (the shows' producers are to blame for that) and scantily clad young women who are about as smart as their MP3 players, and it is a surprise something like this hasnt happened before. That this show has continued so long is proof that our society is totally decadent. Remember what happened to Rome. The barbarians stormed the walls folks.

Ya find Out Something New Every Day

Doctor put me on prozac last week.
Not cuz Im depressed or anything.
(have been in the past, not now)
She thinks it works well as a weight control thingy. If ya happy ya dont eat as much. Seems to be working too. Tends to suppress your appetite without removing it totally like the phentermine does.

We also did blood tests for blood sugar levels and insulin levels. Turns out I have that type X syndrome thingo where you are insulin resistent. Type of diabetes (type 2 it seems). So I have drugs for that too. Apparently (so she says) being insulin resistent can cause both fat and muscle accretion. Which means weight gain. *sigh*
Apparently resistance means the bod stores sugar as fat immediately AND when demand is made (eg running away from a lion or chasing a squash ball) fat from the stomach is supposed to be burnt once the glycogen in your ready use stores at the muscles is used up (which happens quickly). Insulin acts to access those fat stores. But not if you have whatever it is i have :/ explains the tingling in my legs and arms at night too.
Explains why 3 hours of exercise a day was doing exactly jackshit for weight loss.

Well lol at leas twith the prozac im pretty happy HAH. Sitting here with a stupid grin on my face like ive been smoking dope.

My poor long suffering Peugeot 505 is finally running like itself again.
We discovered (this was a couple of weeks ago) it had a cracked insulator on a spark plug cap (similar effect to a shit plug lead) AND the dizzy cap was corroded inside one of the terminals. Different cylinders too. Amazing it was running at all.
Sorting the timing out via trial and error over the next couple of days/weeks. Got that I think perfect on WEdnesday. As well I reset the fuel/air mixture which I think had crept into the wayyyyyyyyyyy rich zone while fiddling trying to get it runnning right. It is now idling and running better than I think at any time since we bought it. Along with his 4 new tyres n new front shocks n new front brake discs n new pads all round it doesnt know what hit it.

The Ford wagon goes for rego on Tuesday. luckily the guvmint giives us Carers a nice handshake at this time of year so we have the money for rego and to give dad for the parts etc it needed. I think secretly dad is rather impressed with it actually. Hasnt had a bad thing to say about it so far. This from someone whos' father (my grandfather) could not say 'ford' without spitting on the ground. Yes.. I remember seeing him do it. dad has a collection of vintage chevrolets in his garage. Our fambly business involved old chevs at one stage . But come Bathurst every year (big race here in Aus fer the ferriners) we all sat down n cheered on the fords. weird shit. For as long as I can remember I have had an almost visceral reaction against supporting holden racing cars. Which is odd as I dont care one way or the other for EITHER brand. We SHOULD have been holden supporters based on our marked chevrolet preference in old cars. As renault n peugoet have almost never been eligible I had no issues there.

We are trying t odecide whether to go to a swapmeet in blacktown this weekend. Dad is going. Probably will eh.
My exgf n I are BOTH devestated this week. Her cuz Keith Urban got married. Me cuz Nicole kidman got married. Me not so much though.
lol
Have a good weekend eh.

hey swingers

finally I feel human again

I have every episode of Stargate SG1 to watch... nine seasons... average of 15 episodes per season... plus the Atlantis offshoot. 170 plus hours... the gurls' brother loaned them to us on DVD.
watched up to half way through season 5 now... god my eyes are square.. but it is an interesting way to watch a show - you get to see the total development of the ideas and characters in a short space of time. Rather than watch one a week every now n then you get a good dose. Ive enjoyed it actually. it is my favourite scifi series anyway.

there isnt much on during the day anyway lol

well the soccer heads came down with a crash last night
as IF we could beat Brazil!!!
beat those damned english at the rugby though at least
payback....

now NSW needs to beat Queensland again
N rocky youve been amazingly restrained on the subject mate... feel free... they walloped us

wandered into that place.. whats it called... a gym? yeah a gym
today felt weird... everything was the same but different. I have lost SO much fitness this past 3 months of so what with injury and illness. Had a game of squash on the weekend. Went ok. played wednesday night n went shite. Not entirely unexpected I guess. My new shoes are good so thats a plus.

The 'new' car is nearly finished. Now all we have to do is get it registered in the gurls' name n everything is sweeeeet mate. Dad has had no trouble finding bits nor doing the repairs needed. Anyone who knows me knows I have 2 left fists with cars. I KNOW whats wrong but as for fixing it well i'm a spaz.

anyway

have a good time folks
