I'm wondering if I dare eat lunch or what.

Still have no appetite, though.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Are you able to eat yoghurt? Some live yoghurt might be beneficial.

Ed (dali), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

That's not a bad idea at all.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Was it?

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:37 (seventeen years ago) link

No, the yoghurt was a really good idea.

Still not entirely there today. I probably shouldn't have gone out last night, but oh, it was so much fun. I didn't even drink and I'm ... errr, still in a bit of pain today.

Is anyone around on a Friday, or is everyone away?

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, we're here and bewildered.

I had a bad eye 3 days ago, but couldn't find my glasses in true Velma style. So, I had to wear the contacts anyway, and got to the eye clinic yesterday.

They gave me a prescrip and advice "wear one lens at most".

Fortunately, the gogs are found, so all is a bit better. It's still amazing how disconnected you feel having slighlty impaired vision.

Followup appt Tuesday, where they say "All is well, back to the contacts"..

Or "You need lazer treatment, here it's on the NHS mate"

(Yeah, I know)

AAARRGGGGHHHH!!! Having stuff go wrong with your eyes is the WORST THING EVER!!! You never realise how much you rely on them until they go wrong. It's scary.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm here till 12:00, then I'm off to bake a massive choc cake for my housemate's b'day party! (I'll take pics).

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Very. the two questions I had were

1) Did that lens I thought I'd dropped and never found actually get folded and go round the back?

2) Momus.

I think it's going to be alright now.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm at home cooking turkeys

Ed (dali), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Ugh, I can't even think about food.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Why is Ed always at home? (and cooking)

My boss asked me to come in to work today (planned vaca) and instead I am sitting around twiddling my thumbs. Grrr.

substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Grrrr. So spend the rest of the day playing on the interweb and drinking in the office, Mitya!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Ribs feeling not too bad today.

Saw this last night http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1746560,00.html

Some scenes apparently shot in Grimsby - any idea about this Forest Pines.

Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope that's yr real email, Dr. C, coz I've just sent you a mail.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Course it's not. Is yours real, I'll send one to yours then you can reply?

Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:37 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, dammit. Mine is real, send something there, and I'll forward you what I sent you to the fake one.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Am I going to get a telling off?

I didn't realize that there was a plagarism outcry.

Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:50 (seventeen years ago) link

No, nothing like that.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I am happy today, because I had the foresight to move all my tutorials to Monday 'cause I knew I'd be hungover and want to spend the day lolling around the house.

g000blar (g00blar), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:19 (seventeen years ago) link

That was quite bright. That's why you a teacher!

I've had yoghurt and noodles for lunch. I tried to bring lunch, but realised that the two things I had in my fridge were... 1) mushroom stroganoff and 2) rissotto - after being laid so low by a mushroom risotto I can face neither.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Mmmmm, yoghurt and noodles...together at last. Stomach feeling better?

g000blar (g00blar), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:27 (seventeen years ago) link

No. :-8

I haven't thrown up or even felt vomitty in about 24 hours, but err... not to put too fine a point on it, there are some pretty unacceptable things happening at the other end of my digestive system now. [/TMI]

(n.b. I did not eat the yoghurt and the noodles at the same time.)

One thing I could really do with is a good night's sleep. Which I haven't had in about a week.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Ach, that's no good at all. No poptimism for you tonight, young lady.

g000blar (g00blar), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

No. Sucks, but I'm staying in tonight. I don't want to be the one passing out on the dancefloor this time.

FWIW, I'm kinda glad I didn't go to ATP. It wouldn't be fun in this state.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello.

I'm here, but I've been too busy to be on ILX at all this morning. Grrr.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Wasn't the real ILX supposed to be up already?

K's birthday was great last night. She loved all my presents, we went out for chinese (mmm, pork belly in the poet's style), and then on to St. Moritz, where we got a table! (I'm now too old to stand around/dance all night.)

g000blar (g00blar), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Awww, that sounds like a great time! Glad you guys had such fun. (Except I take it back about not feeling vomitty when I read about your dinner.)

Sitting down is the new dancing! Being old is the new young! Hurrah!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Bananas are good for bad stomach.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

What is the new goth?
x-post

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I had a banana this morning for breakfast.

I have actually lost about 5lbs in 3 days. I don't think this is a very healthy way to lose weight, though. :-/

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Ouch, that is not good at all.

Ed (dali), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Other thing that is not good is I haven't been able to keep down my meds for several days, with a major cosmic raystorm due this weekend.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Are they harsh on the digestive system anyway? Can they be smuggled in under cover of yoghurt?

I am a firm believer in yoghurt as a magic panacea for all digestive ills.

Ed (dali), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:33 (seventeen years ago) link

They're not that harsh on the digestive system (except for when I'm vomiting so badly I can't keep water down, let alone pills - or expelling everything as quickly as I can take it in) - however, one of their side effects is to muck up the digestive system - since that's one of the other things serotonin does in the body, is regulate absorbtion in the intestines or something.

I'm trying to drink hot chocolate to get my caffeine system, but even that is bothering me.

I feel too blechy to even perve over cute boys. This should give you an idea of how ill I am.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Except yr supposed to keep away from dairy products.

It was all "Dry Toast, Water and Black Coffee" when I was last poorly like this.

or was it black tea?

(nearly typed black teat there, but hey.)

Then, move onto the Dioralyte, or if you can't stand that (who can?) Lucozade Sport.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't have any bread, I don't have a toaster, and I'm supposed to stay away from wheat products anyway! Waaahhh! This is why I've been eating rice and ricenoodles because my stomach doesn't like too much bread at hte best of times.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

This is rubbish. I feel so not like me. PBW, Dylan Moran and all three of Secret Machines could walk in my office stark staring naked and all I could do would be go "eh, put some clothes on, you'll get cold."

I'M SICK OF BEING SICK!!!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Rice Cakes?

Toasted Rice cakes. They're I have no idea.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

The New Goth is the 21 year old woman who started in our Accounts Office a month ago.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Does she wear boots of sex? She's not a real goff if she doesn't.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

She wears DMs at work, and New Rocks elsewhere. Very goth, although not really boots of sex if you ask me.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Ask to see her airsole

I am getting in a bad mood about not being fit to play rugby tomorrow. Last night I had the idea that if I got some of that undershirt body armour and lots of tape, I'd maybe be able to play. I borrowed some padding from my son, (he's 13 and not far off my size), and got him to test it out by whacking the afflicted rib area. One smallish thud with a geography text book was enough to nearly make me pass out with pain, so it's off. I might have to go Christmas shopping instead - that's even more painful.

Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh man, that sounds awful. Sucks that you don't get to play, but not if you're in that much pain. Stay home and take care of yourself, dammit! And no, I think Xmas shopping might be more of a contact sport than Rugby this time of year!

Thanks so much for the email - you have no idea how much I needed to get a "I hear ya!" on that front. Hallelujah.

Right, I gotta actually do some reports now.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh it's a stupid macho thing - and refusal to admit that I'm getting old. I really ought to make sure that I don't do anything that stops me playing guitar. Because, as everyone knows, the hierarchy of life is :

Music > Rugby > Everything Else >>>>>>>>>>Christmas Shopping

Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, speaking of which... I just had to turn down a gig because I realised... on the 10th of January I'm having another lumpendectomy on my wrist!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Same wrist? Fretting hand?
