March 26: Loft

I am all moved into the lofty apartment, and my stuff arrived yesterday. Seeing my TV again was, frankly, AMAZING. I still can't find my remote controls, but I can put up with that. Sweet, sweet pixels. It's sort of weird having possessions again — after a month of it being just me and my laptop, I had sort of gotten used to a sort of minimalism. It makes me want to purge all sorts of crap I don't need, except I've already done that. More purging would be traumatic, I think. I like all of my stuff.

I'm just at work, dealing with a cold or flu or something. It's bad enough that I'm drinking herbal tea, which is a warning sign. I've also taken some DayQuil. It's no good. I hate taking DayQuil. NyQuil works great and knocks you out long enough to feel better (it may or may not just be horse tranquilizers). DayQuil is like NyQuil mixed with espresso or something. Some of the relief with more side-effects than you can shake a stick at. I am not 100% sure I'm not sitting on a chair that is moving right now. Bleh.

Anyway, I've got to go off and be productive. This is a short week for me — Mom arrives at lunchtime on Friday. Huzzah!

    Your remote controls have likely been stolen by gremlins!

    I found my remotes, huzzah.

    In exciting news, you know the crazy toxic bubbles that Simon brings me? I found GIGANTIC versions of them at K-Mart (yes, yes, time travel, etc). They're about half the size of toothpaste tubes. They don't seem to work as well (they use a crazy blowpipe thing to inflate) but it's definitely the same toxic chemicals. Go America!

    Kmart is so rubbish in the USA. I went for interest sake when I was in NYC, it definately sits at the ultra bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder.

    I used to work at KMart here in Aus back in my teens, and although some people call it rubbish here, its no where near as scuzz as the american Kmart. Im surprised they have such a quality item like ToxicBubbles(tm).

    yay for mums, yay for tv's and yay for interesting side effects.
