Grace Notes @ Snarkattack

A few nights ago, a close friend had put me in the position where I just couldn’t cancel. He’s too damn nice a guy and it’d been a while since I’d seen him. This was also a good opportunity to pick up my meds, which I’d been procrastinating doing for quite some time.

It’s 4:30pm on Wednesday, and I’m sitting here with the laptop on my legs, still in my nightclothes. I’ve had trouble leaving the house and am wondering how I’ll go meeting up with a close friend later this evening.

In a somewhat snide manner, someone recently remarked to me that I’d like Sydney (as in the city in Australia) because it was superficial.

It’s probably wrong to wish that arseholes and bitches will one day fall flat on their faces, but I’m a base creature and I have to say, I’m kind of waiting for it to happen to a bunch of people. Is that wrong?

Who would’ve thought anyone would want to look like a pirate two years ago. Oh my how the times change.[

The last couple of days it has started to dawn on me why it is that humans marry.

There’s nothing like a weekend of complete and utter slobbery to cheer a girl up. I haven’t been this regular-person happy to be spending time alone since…I don’t even remember.

I’ve only been waiting 6 years! Anyway…

Managed to try out a few products this week, not as many as I’d like, of course.

Ah, at last! Excuse the title, I was feeling silly.

Finally starting to get some work done! It’s been a nice, laidback weekend, and I’ve been up all night watching amusing television and writing up bits and pieces of reviews for Blogcritics - the beginnings of a concert review. I’ve also received a work in PDF format so I can start reading it straightaway.

Phew, what a week!

There comes a time in every mental’s life when they are asked about their sex life by their psychiatrist.

That day was Wednesday, two days ago. Usually that sort of thing doesn’t embarrass me, especially not where doctors are concerned, but I was tricked, I tell you. First I get this nifty diagram to explain how brain chemistry works, and what antidepressants do to brains which lack the chemicals that keep you…normal.

Ah, the four humours! Does anyone remember that old thing, where the body supposedly has four fluids and when they are out of balance it alters your mood accordingly?

In case you’re wondering, the title to this entry is in reference to a song by Tobias Hume. My friend Chris sings in the recording. He’s ace. And overseas. I do miss him. But he’ll be back in Melbourne this December for Handel’s Rinaldo - he’s a countertenor with the voice of an angel, sigh.

Anyway, I saw this quiz that tells you what temperament you are, and realised it was based on the theory of the humours, so I did it. I saw it here (thanks Tash).

A lonely Friday evening, what blissful delights can one conjure for solace?

Let’s tuck into the bath stash box and see, eh? But not without help from a lovely lady who sent an unexpected gift.

I am well and truly stuck.

Grr! It’s not even in a serious-problem kind of way.

Last night, I saw the film Ray and it occurred to me that I shouldn’t be bloody whining about being sick and shit, I should get off my arse and just do stuff!

Sorry it’s so bleeding long, but it is of interest to many, therefore I put it here, as it doesn’t qualify as a main blog topic.

Some surprises in this survey, source being Mercer Human Resource Consulting. Bear with me, it wasn’t easy to put the code in so the list appears legible and logical so apologies in advance if it looks a bit funky.
