Dead eyes opened. Plant bukkake.

arkady held a pleasant soirée on Thursday evening, hosting myself, ali_anarres and fluffymark. We ate lots of food and drank lots of mead. Ali and Rose showed off their poi skills and we talked Rose into showing off her art and her singing. Rose's ridiculously lengthy list of talents does include singing, songwriting and guitar-playing. (Insert Stimpy look here.)

I spent Friday daytime deprived of brains, but simulated humanity long enough to see mircea off at the Vaults in the evening. Liz and I gave her a Paddington bear to remember London by. We look forward to seeing her next year.

Our wedding present from ickle_yuki arrived: 128MB of memory for Liz's PC. And it doesn't thrash like a thrashing thing any more! Yuki++

I failed to make the Harry Potter dressup owing to being not alive. Which is a terrible pity, considering all Rose's effort to assemble a good Lucius Malfoy outfit for me. Hay fever is teh suxx0r. Antihistamines are almost as bad as the original problem - my name for the past few days has been Walks With Zombies. I just went down the street to get some chocolate for redcountess and it left me exhausted and gasping for breath. I don't think we'll be making it to Ingvar's party.

Hayfever

Have you worked your way around the non-sedative antihistamines? Different ones work on different people.
Have you also consulted your doctor to get any nasal sprays, which not only fix up your nose but also your eyes (handy side-effect)?

The 'non-sedative' antihistamines don't send me to sleep, they just fill my brain with fog anyway. Duhhh ...

My usual treatment for this sort of weather - which is reminding me of Melbourne, in that I can't breathe clearly at all - is Sudafed. Which leaves me buzzing horribly. Bah!

Know the feeling. I've actually been taking my antihistamines either just before bed, or an hour before I have to get up, then sleeping off the worst of it.

At least contacts keep the worst of the eye-puncture sensation out.

Holland and Barrett (or any good health food store) stock various ranges of "non pharmeceutical" hayfever treatments.

Alternatively, try a teaspoon of proper/full bee honey a day. Having honey in your system will cause your system to adopt, adapt and accept the "bee cheicals" which you may be allergic to. A bit of a homeopathic remedy, but it has worked for people I've known in the past.

Is that Biff Byford in your new icon?

[reddragdiva]

If you hover the little mousey pointy thing over it, you will see its name is 'Biff'. It's my icon for posts where I feel about three-quarters dead.

[minigoth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't know you could do that....It's fitting anyway for when you feel more dead than alive...but why are you not curled up in bed then?

[wednesday]

What, not B1FF!!1!1 ?

My first thought was "Where's that sword wot captures souls, Mr Elric?"

Now, though, your talk of biff has me thinking fondly of xbiff and fvwmrc, etc...this can't lead to any good.

the memory wasnt intended as a wedding present, it was just sitting ther doing nothing really! but money's very tight atm so perhaps as a wedding present it'd be a good idea!

[reddragdiva]

It cost 100% of what you can afford, after all ...

[ickle-yuki.livejournal.com]

Indeed it did. I'm in financial limbo for the next month or so whilst between different benefits, any money I get will be from crap I find that sells on ebay...
