Soon is here

Okay let’s get something clear. When I said ‘back soon’, I meant ‘Gimme a month’. So it’s all good really. I’m even 2 days ahead of schedule.
Soookay, what’s been happening here? Work’s fine, the steady computer job is coming to an end soon. The project deadline is in a week and a half and then [...]

Retooling

Wow I know it’s been a bit over a month since I last wrote but OMFG it’s been a helluva month. So much has happened that I actually had to go over the last few entries to reacquaint my now self to my then self. I feel so changed inside. Hm but then again I [...]

First week back in Melbourne

It’s around the same time my plane landed at Tullamarine airport a week ago. It’s been busy busy busy. I’ve been fortunate enough to have had beautiful weather so far. Sunny and mild weather yay! It’s autumn and I half-expected it to be colder. I’m happy it’s not!
I’ve been nursing a wrist injury for about [...]

Torporing on

So the torpor took a while to wear off. I haven’t gone back to boxing since I sprained my elbow. I did some sparring in the last session, which was a few days before christmas. That proved to be a miserable failure. Towards the end of round 2, I shot my right arm out, grazing [...]

So not carbon neutral

So I had carbon for dinner. No, it’s not slang for a pasta dish. With rice and iced tea.
I tried to cook bacon for dinner. First off, the whole damn thing was frozen solid and I didn’t have time to let it thaw out. Since I couldn’t peel the strips off, I just took a [...]

Testy tummy at work no. 2

I don’t know why but I feel the need to document this stomach saga.
So I had the spiciest version of Bicol Express for lunch. To teach my tummy a lesson. Well it’s staging a mutiny in there at the moment, I can feel dissent reverberating through the walls of my stomach. To ignore it, I [...]

Testy tummy at work

Alas, it is not over.
I think it might be bacteria. Maybe amoebiasis. Dysentery. A virus called Lactus Bacillus Lucius Vorenus. A particularly nasty strain. Huhu I’ve been in a semi-hunger state all bloody week, I’m hungry now!
They transferred me to a different station today. I’m now in what looks like the “management section” of the [...]

Dehydration dummy

I was struck down with dehydration last Sunday. Plus my tummy disagreed with the chili con carne I had for dinner. It was a loud and bitter disagreement. I had to skip work on Monday.
K and I were meant to go boxing but when we went to the gym, the only ones there were the receptionist and [...]

Noodle girl

This is a sculpture by Japanese artist Majima, not sure where this exhibition is but I lifted the photo from a Le Monde article highlighting the alarming discovery of the amount of unclean and downright deadly food, ingredients even utensils and other eating items (found with traces of manganese and nickel) imported to France [...]

Stuff

Writing about getting dental work is getting depressingly boring. So much so that I neglected to write about the last 2 sessions. The penultimate one took TWO FULL HOURS. It was pure torture. I thought I was going to get lockjaw and spend the rest of my life with my mouth open. My lips got [...]
