Wow. What a game of basketball with a final scoreline of 101-100 in favour of Miami. This is the second time today I haven’t been able to sit down to watch a sports game, the first being for the loss of the Socceroos against the Brazilians in the World Cup. I swear I need new feet from all the pacing that I’ve done in front of the TV. I definitely need a good strong liquor right now. ...
So I’m sitting in my cube, watching in disbelief the matchcast of the Germany vs Poland match. I took this screenshot because I didn’t believe that Germany could have so many shots on goal and not get anything: And then I saw it. Such a beautiful thing. In the last moments of the last minute my screen updates beautifully to show this: Go Germany. After Australia, this is my favourite team. Ich liebe Deutschland (und Australien!)
Woohoo! I’m sitting here in my very grey cubicle at work looking at the final score between Australia and Japan, and it’s all good baby! I’ve got my green shirt on today and combining that with the face colour of my watch and maybe a few post-it notes, it’s green and gold all the way. Pity I couldn’t watch a live telecast as I had to be at my desk, so I ended up refreshing the main page of the Fifa website over and over again to get match updates. ...
From this link “The 10-year-old and his brother, 6, decided to take the family car for a 100km spin to visit their grandfather in Moree, in the NSW northwest, about 12.30pm on Sunday.” This reminds me of my cousin Levi, who is quite adept at driving a car as well (click on pic for details)
I got the results for my tests back. According to the results, there is absolutely nothing wrong with me at all. Nada. Nichts. Jack $hit. So now I ponder and wonder what the hell went on, whether I get a second opinion, or whether I ignore it ever happened. My doctor told me it was probably an anxiety attack of sorts. Whatever the case, it’s time to move on in some direction, albeit more cautiously than before. I’m sick of staying home. I need to get out and do some stuff again. ...
So I’ve come through what seems to be a rather weird ride. Whatever caused me to pretty much collapse and have difficulty breathing, resulting in a rush to the emergency room, has gone. I have not been able to link it to anything that I ate. I’m thinking that somehow my body was telling me to slow down a bit. Perhaps. I’ve had a CAT scan, 24 hour heart monitor and blood tests done. I’m getting sick of all these blood tests. My arm skin is a slightly yellow colour around the region where all the needles have gone in. I feel like a pin cushion. ...
Whilst I’ve been bed-ridden recently, I’ve summoned the energy up to entertain myself with a little surfing of the internets. This post is a whole lot about nostalgia, so see if you remember these little youtube gems that I’ve found. Anyone got any more? Ones that I just can’t find are “AEIOU”, with those little characters drawn in the sand who fight some dragon or something. Another is “Robo Story”, where the white leader keeps calling everyone else “imbeciles”.
So Sunday night I found myself in the emergency room of a hospital. Three scoops of icecream is all it took to turn me into a mess of a person who had difficulty breathing or swallowing, was very light-headed, shaking, had a high pulse rate and was just about to collapse. I scared the hell out of my flat-mate, but rest assured, he wasn’t as scared as I. I’ve been talking to doctors, venom experts from Australia, etc. etc. etc. to see if this had anything to do with the bite I got in January. The consensus was that no, it didn’t, and that the venom only lasts for 5 days anyway. So whatever I’ve got now is supposed to be unrelated to the bite, supposedly. ...
We’re all allowed our fair share of whinging and whining and complaining I think. You know, people have to get that stuff off their chest every now and then. But hell, the number of times I hear people complain about the weather around here. I actually like weather in general. I like its unpredictability. The day we can control the weather is the day I’ll start complaining about it. But seriously, I can’t even get people to sit outside when it’s slightly humid. They’d rather stay in the air conditioned building and when they leave work they get into to their air conditioned car and when they get home they get into their air conditioned house. I constantly hear about it being too humid, too rainy, too hot, and they hardly spend any time outside. ...
Recently something happened… I can’t remember what it was… nice one pk. P.S. Although I haven’t been making too many posts lately, I have been taking quite a few pictures. Like, the flickr badge to the right has been in a state of constant update, pretty much. Apart from that I’ve been pretty flat out. Some major stuff coming up in the next few months. Hope you’re having fun y’all. ...
