Easy like Sunday morning

It's Saturday night, actually it's already 3 o'clock Sunday morning, and I'm still sick. Didn't go to work on Friday either, I slept in and then watched a documentary on David Hockney from the 60's, and then a 2 1/2 hour self-help DVD on how to become a millionaire. Apparently it's fairly easy, you just have to acquire $15 000, then take up a loan on your house and start dealing shares. If you don't feel like losing your house there are no less than eight other ways of going broke.

Just before I was about to put all of my belongings on gum-tree and e-bay to increase my equity and start buying blue-chip, Ray-ban came over and cooked me Indonesian chicken soup. Large amounts of fresh ginger and garlic; it wasn't as if I was going to try and pick up and neck anyone that night anyhow. Then we had a look at my CV as I'm considering another job possibility and wanted to buff it up a bit. He's even more anal than what I am when it comes to details, so we fucked around in indesign till the juice ran out of my powerbook's battery and my arms started cramping. W decided to treat ourselves to a bit of man-candy, so I found Batman begins on DVD and cranked it up (the other options were 1) 'Bodyguard', the 1992 classic with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, 2) 'Hercules in New York', Arnold Schwarzenegger anno 1970 - 15 years before the classics 'Commando' and 'Red Sonja' and 3) Lord of the rings trilogy). 2 minutes into the movie we realized it was a screener as the sound was almost none existing (the television set we're sporting here is pre-remote control, so we couldn't see anything wrong with the image), thank G for cheap Asian DVDs.. It wasn't as if the dialogue was the focus anyhow.

Before turning in for the night I first called my mom for half an hour and then my brother and his wife, who just decided to move back to Norway after quite a while in Swedish exile. I think I decided while talking to my bro to stay a while longer in Australia and see my Office project through a little longer and learn some more.

Today I haven't done shit, except for still feeling completely fatigued and as if some pneumonic plague molested my lungs before vomiting in my sinuses. Oh, I had chicken soup for breakfast at two (I love when my daily rhythm goes sour) and went with some friends to see a ballet at the Arts centre at night. Bad idea leaving my bed, but worthwhile just to get out of my ridiculously cold room. Did I tell you about my theory why it's so cold; that somebody must have died there?

Stuff I've been doing while writing this:

Oh my jesus, jump jump
Pretty aggro Krumping

Itunes blasted Drop the Lime's Bass for Golden pudels mix and Devlin & Pretty Titty's SinkOrSwim mix.

It's getting late and I'm starting to feel a strange attraction to my heater..

Hi Andy, it's absolutely wonderful! A friend of mine follows your blog and he was the one who sent it to me. Who would have thought trampolines were that much fun! Well, I know they are, I love them!
