how i learned to stop worrying and start loving

has anything happened in the past month? a rhetorical question thrown to the lilac padded internet universe, oh yes so much has happened. i guess the main thing to affect me, is that my brother is coming back to live with us. i did know about us and agree to it. however it was conditional on him working on the mine and only being here for a week or so at a time and spending the rest of the time at mums. i find out from my mum last night that karl quit his job and now the weekly sojourn is going to become something more frequent. living with karl wasn't that bad, when i had to do it a year ago. but this house is a lot smaller and might be fraught with danger. the worst thing was that i had organised annual leave for this time to write and have some me time. now it's going to be home with karl. crazy.

work has been very busy at the moment, i don't really have that much to say, other than the fact i'm glad i'm having a rest. i need to recharge, i'm going to be big boss when i get back from annual leave which is always a little different. my stomach is better again, though it did take a little while and i'm being even more cautious about what i eat. wilco is also coming up soon, which shall be quite exciting to see them in the flesh and hear the great tunes from a ghost is born and blue sky blue. i'll be up the front dancing along.

the deep deep end of a long weekend

sometime you have the funniest days, i used to bitch about my stomach on myspace a bit because that was when i was feeling sick a lot. i only occasionally have sporadic attackes nowadays. so let me broadcast my embarrassment all over the internet. we ate at sandrino's for alex's birthday tonight and this is a pretty good restaurant. the food was great, but unfortunately i couldn't eat it. i ate one slice of pizza, struggled with it for a while and had to go to the toilet. it's bad because my last two turns have been with a group of people who tend to get alarmed, i get scared as well, but i've sort of learnt how to deal with it. i think i've got to eat more during the day and i can usually avoid any problems. the joys of living.

i've got a breakfast for my cousin tomorrow, who is going to set said around the world, so that should be interesting. i'll assemble the wardrobes in the afternoon and then i'm jamming with glenn on monday morning. then we are going to alex's dad early on monday arvo to play mahjong. i need to kick back sometime, life gets out of control if you don't hang on the ropes. i probably shouldn't be listening to 'heartbreaker' by ryan adams at the moment, but it's a perfect lonely saturday night chilling at home record.
