Hear the hatchet. Grind, grind.

Healthy living has done for me. There were free doughnuts on at work today and I pigged out. I haven't eaten that level of sugar-laden lard in some time and I feel awful. Buzzing and crashing at the same time. And my guts really, really hate me. Mind you, coffee was like liquid crack with all that sugar to work on.

("Healthy living" does not include giving up smoking, thus proving that cloves are in fact a vitamin.)

I've been thinking about the COCK for the last several days. Really, that's what's been motivating me to do this "exercise and don't eat crap" thing. For a burst of energy and the motivation for ten more leg lifts, picturing the COCK works like a charm. MORE EXERCISE! THERE'S COCK TO CHASE! redcountess finds this amusing, arkady raises an eyebrow. I need a good source of Captain Jack screencaps.

I am clearly on crack in general. We got to sleep last night at 1:30am. Liz berated me for coming to bed so late when there was so much to do and one of the crappy rental-grade cupboards had fallen off its damn hinges. So I set the alarm for seven, woke up at 6:10am and finally accepted I was awake and got out of bed at half-past six. And started on putting the cupboard back together, of course. This evening I have brought Liz flowers to celebrate that they can't kick her out and that she therefore feels much more secure in things, we have done the Shazam thing with our wedding rings and I have cleaned the bins, rehung one cupboard (the other's screws won't come out even with copious WD-40 and I may have to drill them out) and helped unpack Liz's plant order that arrived today. I'm about to fetch her dinner (I will not be eating. Blurgh.) and then I'll be cleaning the bathroom. When I say "sorry, can't come out, doing housework," that means there's a mountain of it high enough to induce domestic disharmony. (Apologies to karen2205! We must coffee ourselves some time.)

Liz just ordered Sky. Serious telly time!

X Window System has progressed nicely just since this morning, with many of your fine suggestions being implemented. I must put together screenshots.

Hoy, strangedave! Call, will ya? If the mobile goes to message that means I'm at work and you should leave a message!

Update: Found the icon. w00t!

I have the most bizarre mental image of you racing down a street in Camden, fully gothed out, chasing a bright red rooster.

[reddragdiva]

Er. You just keep that image rather than the accurate one. *pat pat*

[quiet000001.livejournal.com]

I can think of others, too, that was just the most bizarre, and thus I felt I should share. (Because insanity isn't nearly so much fun when you keep it to yourself.) :)

And now I try to find something to watch on tv. (Why do I pay for a tv license again?)

[reddragdiva]

So you can watch gardening pr0n? And Dr Who?

[quiet000001.livejournal.com]

But I don't! All the house and gardening pr0n depresses me atm, and I'm not overlyfondofdrwho. *hides from the irate brits*

[reddragdiva]

heh :-) We have a telly only because Liz wanted one. Otherwise this would be a Telly-Free Household, with maybe the occasional DVD played on a computer.

MythTv is my friend. I don't normally watch much TV, but since we've had Myth running with 2 tuners we just watch what we like in bulk. It suits my hatred of telly for telly's sake and is excellent as I'm currently too vertiginous to be safe in public...

[reddragdiva]

For licence purposes it would count as a TV because it has a tuner. Remember, this pays for Dr Who and Radio 6!

[barakta]

That is true. I wasn't suggesting it as a licence opt out. Hell I think downloading BBC news video content legally requires a licence if you are resident in the UK.

I don't mind the licence fee, just the obnoxiousness when people choose to validly opt out of having a licence because they genuinely don't watch TV. The tactics they use are aggressive and nasty.

[reddragdiva]

Yes. I sometimes think TV Licensing is run by Rupert Murdoch in an attempt to discredit the BBC. I bought our telly then made sure to contact them, so I could proudly contribute my bit for the BBC. They spent ages getting back to me (to take my money) then wrote me a narky letter for not having obtained a license. arkady has been receiving a string of vaguely threatening letters from them despite quite definitely having no telly. Way to go, guys.

[reddragdiva]

Nice icon, by the way ;-)

[quiet000001.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just? You wouldn't expect such a little bit of skin to be so inticing. (Possibly I shouldn't really be thinking about inticing lickable boys whilst watching Pirates of the Carribean...)

You haven't heard my definition for Vitamin C and Vitamin N then? ;)

[missjanette.livejournal.com]

cloves are indeed vitamins.
Just like other vitamin supplements, too high a dose is toxic.
Taken in moderation, however, they make a fine fine supplement.

(says the woman with a packet of djarum vanilla on her front hall bookcase. the bout of pneumonia in winter of '03 keeps current clove consumption down to a bare minimum.)

(also, thanks for the link about spoons the other day. i have a bunch of invisible spoon occupying conditions as well so it hit home, big time.)

[reddragdiva]

Use the word a lot, and be sure to link it every time!

Vanilla cloves? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. sushidog gave me some vanilla rolling tobacco a few years ago. Amazing stuff. You've never seen little girlies at Slimelight show so much interest in a cigarette containing tobacco.

Apropos of nothing in particular, does anyone print stickers with the URLs of http://www.stop-narconon.org/ or similar? This morning I noticed some posters advertising Narconon in Old Street Tube station...

[reddragdiva]

They're in Euston as well. I suggest getting a photo or two for us, and remember that you can always do your own on laser/inkjet-friendly sticker paper.
