flyboy_foxI had an interesting conversation with my mum (via emails) today after I told her about the absinthe I got. She says she's never tried it and was quite amused at my 'intricate' knowledge (seriously, I just wiki'd the stuff a week or so ago, that's all :P). She also was under the false impression that absinthe is a hallucinogen, which it is not. It may be different from other alcoholic drinks, but you can't 'trip' on it or anything crazy like that (sadly).
I decided that I need to read more Wilde. I'm gonna try to get my hands on The Picture of Dorian Gray to read after I'm done with the two books I got from her for my birthday. The two books being "'Tis" and "Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt. The second and third part of his memoirs, following on from the amazing "Angela's Ashes" (an amazing read, by the way, especially if you have any interest in war-time Ireland and the struggle of poverty that many faced, and still face).
I also decided that I probably won't drink anything tonight. I never drink in huge quantities, but I don't want to get hooked on it, either. Besides, make it last, eh?
I was thinking today that I really should work on Sontails.com. I think the main thing keeping me from it is the fact that it's pretty much useless as anything other than a collection of my own (and Jei's) thoughts and ideas on a fandom that really is quite small. So I do query if there would be much point in doing it all up the way I envisioned. For right now, the webspace serves perfectly as an online 'hammerspace' of sorts for bunging anything that I want to host (mostly pictures/photos and the occasional mp3).
Today and had beans on toast and canned fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner combined. One meal, because I slept until 6pm. Because I went to bed at 6am. Sheesh, I need to sort out my sleeping pattern, stat! And do some food shopping. Yeah.
Three days until Jei comes home. I'm counting down the days excitedly. I've missed her so much. Can't wait to start planning our Thanksgiving meal. Yeah it's two weeks' off yet, but we have to make sure it's perfect. On our budget, roast dinners with all the trimmings don't come often. Mmm... chicken, roast potatoes and/or mash, yorkies, stuffing and/or stuffing balls, cranberry jelly, bread sauce, thick gravy, and mixed veg... followed by apple and cinnamon crisp with custard... I can almost taste it... *salivates*
Haa... Jei sent me a photo of (the head of) one of the Ood from Doctor Who :D Man, it's so awesome that she's working in the same studio where they make all that cool stuff! They also have stuff from batman Begins, such as the Scarecrow's costume. And plenty of Cybermen, naturally. Although she mentioned a distinct lack of Daleks D:
Ohh! We also started a new game of Animal Crossing together. Bob is in our town (aptly named Knothole), yay! Also Maple, Curly and Rocco, with Ruby just moved in. Almost paid off my mortgage and got a few things done in-game already. I forgot how addictive it can be! *Stops to tinker s'more* ... oh, Monique moved in! More kitties, yay!
Okay, gonna juice now. Animal Crossing is calling! <3 Pttthhhhbt!
