Urgh, its too damn early in the mornin. Have to go see X-Men and I think I'm a bit hungover. Poor little me.

This entry is being written outside having a smoke on a balmy night. I just LOVE wireless :-) The strangest thing happened to me this morning. I woke up, and as it was Anna's birthday, I got shunted out of bed (with a headache) to get some coffee. I had organised a little surprise for her in the form of a nice bottle of Bollie, some strawberries, and a cake. We drank some of it, ate some of the strawberries, and then hung around for in bed for a bit. When we got up, I made some coffee and went in to the living room to see if I could get the wireless up and running again (it had been down for the last couple of weeks because I needed a new card in the main machine). At some point, I started to feel a little strange. Very strange, in fact. So strange, that I started to get a little dissociated from what I was doing and suddenly I was unable to type, or concentrate on what I was doing. There was a point where I was trying to type "ping 192.168.0.1" and it was coming out as "ping 19992.1111111660...". At that point I got pretty scared. I was terrified that I was having a stroke or some other horrendous neurological episode. Anna came in and spoke to me, and I wasn't able to communicate with her at all. So I got up, walked around for a bit, got dressed, spent about twenty minutes shaving (should be 5 tops). To put that in perspective, I was so focused on what I was doing, and so unable to do it properly, that I was shaving off individual hairs in very small strokes to avoid cutting myself to shreds. So, you can imagine my immense happiness when I figured out what was going on : I had taken pain-killers for my headache with the champagne. I was stoned. I was really badly fucking stoned. It went away after a while, and I was able to type "ping 192.168.0.1" again :-)

So later on, we came back from town (got some nice shoes), and started putting the living room back together. Its almost done now, just some books left to do tomorrow. The PC is all up and running, in its new location on the other side of the room. The bathroom is finished, as is the hall, and all that is left is to have it all cleaned and get the fire installed. The last couple of weeks haven't been fun, since we came back from holidays. OK, c'est ca, time to hit the sack :-)

I can't believe it was March 1st when I last updated this. Lots of stuff has happened since then. We were in Germany for a week, ate some good foord, drank some good beer, and got to do some snowboarding. We got back and the place was a building site. Some work was being done, and it isn't finished yet, in fact it will take another week, which makes the amount of time it took almost exactly triple what it should have. ::sigh:: More tomorrow.
