it's a wacky world

Me thinks things are starting to imitate the events in 'The Day after Tomorrow' (fab movie with a cool library and Mr Gyllenhaal being all brave and cute and, you know, a new ice age) just a bit too much for comfort. I've just experienced what was to me a completely new weather phenomena - not hail, not rain, but like slushy snow bits falling in chunks, crunching slightly underfoot and making the ground very, very slippery and me very wet just walking back from Sainsbury's (roughly 100m, and yes, I had an umbrella). That and the snow in China and yes, you get the picture (if you've seen that picture).

So. I've had a pretty shitty time since the last time I blogged. Fell ill, and though I guess this was exactly the kind of virus I wished for for like, 2 months before xmas (devastating enough that you had to be at home but not neccessarily be in bed and in between fever spells feeling OK) I was so annoyed and so bored, even with the European figure skating championship (which I stopped watching by Friday, because oh my god that got old quick seeing the whole qualifying round with the not-so-good skaters for 3h before you got to the impressive parts). Also, I felt so energetic and was doing so good, and then wham! sick, and now I'm still tired and haven't really got those energy levels back at all. Oh well, at least I am up and mobile in time for A and E's arrival tomorrow, which will be fun when it arrives (but right now I'm kinda cranky).

Oh yeah, and they discovered a late night crack cafe/armory on our street, and then I've watched one too many documentary about all the crime in my borough (which although it has dropped in some statistics still outshines the rest of London and the UK) and yeah. Can someone pls hire me to work remotely with something geeky, allowing me to flee this wacky civilization and hide in a hut in remote Norway or something? Dude. It's not cool.

Anyway. I will stop now before inflicting any more of my dark thoughts on anyone else.

Toodles.
