I am done with dates.

I am not having much luck in the old dating game at the moment. Bachelor # 1 canceled cause he got made redundant and was not in the mood. Fair enough but how about a wine to make you feel better? Then today I had a date planned for tonight, am wearing new top and jacket especially for that smart casual mid week date look and now bachelor # 2 has cancelled because he has Plurisy! What? What is this disease?!?! Who gets this Plurisy?? I had to google it to see what it was, but I have never heard of anyone having this before. Either they are making this shit up because they don't want a date with me or I am having some serious bad luck on my ROI. Next, I bet I get a cancellation for Scarlet Fever or Cholera!

To old to have fun.

I am starting to fell old.
I am starting to feel my age.
I thought I looked about 23 unitll only recently when my bestie told me this was so far from the truth and she could not stop laughing.
Seem I clearly look my age, or even older.
This was news to me.
Last night, I took my work team out for a night of fun.
We went bowling, in an alley full of teenages.
We also went on the Dodgem cars.
I love Dodgems.
But my old bones don't seem to enjoy them much.
Oh. My. Word.
I am the sorest I have ever been in my life.
I can now feel my whole spine, all my bones, my muscles and all the other stuff inside my body.
I clearly have masses of internal bruising and have probaly torn or ripped something inside me.
I have to walk super slowly and and also slightly limping on the left side and my left knee feels like it could snap at any mooment.
Wow.
I am sore.
Now I have to get to the airport and get on a 2 hour flight, that will be enjoyable.
Cleary to old for dogem cars.
Just to old to have fun anymore.
:(

Craft. Love craft.

I love craft.
Love making things.
Lots of arty crafty things.
Like sewing, knitting and now crochet.
Last night I finished my first crochet.
It is a cushion.

I know this is not cool.
But you know what?
I am not bothered.
Because these are my skills.
And if I am honest, I don't really have an other skills.
I can't sing.
I can't act.
I am no good at running or sport in general.
I am not clever.
I can't spell very good.
I am not really talented in any way.
All I am good at is craft.
I am good at craft.
And jigsaw puzzles.
Maybe they are related somehow...
But craft mainly.
Look at my cushion.
I made it.
The whole thing.
I taught myself off the Internet.
I am very proud of my work here.
Yes, its a bit wonky.
And yes the colours are a bit gross.
But look at it.
For a 1st crochet attempt, I think it is pretty damn good.
Next week, I will be looking into learning macrame and other skills from 1972.

Under cover of Darkness.

I am a big fan of the Strokes.
Have been for a while.
I first heard them in 2002 when my friend Annica made me a CD of cool songs.
She was from New York so clearly was cool and in the know.
And then ever since then I have slowly and steadily fallen in love with this band.
Today, I have listened to their new album on repeat no less than 10 times.
I have been waiting a while for this album.
I have been happy with their old stuff but still I was eager to hear the new stuff.
It has not disappointed.
It is similar to their usually stuff, but I like that.
It sounds like the Strokes and to be honest, I would of been disappointed if it sounded any different.
They have not come out with anything really different, there is no big change.
It is music that I like in a style that suits them and I am well impressed that they have not going mental and put some techno eclectic hardcore sh*t in there.

So far my favorite of the new tracks are:
Metabolism
Under cover of Darkness
Call me back
And I have been checking out the new video clips as well, and I love this performance they did on SNL.

If you don't choke looking at Miley Cyrus and her vomit inducing introduction then watch this clip and witness just how cool these guys are.
I don't think they could give 2 sh*ts about being there and I love that.
They could not be cooler if they tried.
All in all, I am very happy with this new album it has made me most excited about seeing them.
The end.

Nutso.

My flatmate has lost the plot.
She is crazy.
Crazy banana's.
Coco Loco.
She has lost the plot.
I thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt, but no, she is crackers.
So, a few weeks ago I hear her come home and hear her chatting away.
I assumed she has a friend with her.
So talking talking.
Talking away.
Then she come down stairs and still talking.
And then she comes into the kitchen, still talking.
And she is talking to herself.
Like a full on conversation with herself.
Now, I have the odd word with myself , I think most people do.
But she was having a full blown conversation!
Talking about her day, the weather, what she was having for dinner.
Nuts.
She is totally nuts.
And it was not a one off either.
Since then, I have heard her on a few occasions chatting away.
Crazy, totally crazy.
I think I will have to get her sectioned.
Nutso.
