Arrival of THE Magnet

Waiting for days, knowing that it would take more than overnite after ordering it, because it was the holiday season, but still frustrated, for the magnet to arrive.

IF you EVER need a magnet for ANY reason,
the best place to find it is on the internet.
Places like ToysRus and STAPLES
do not carry strong enough ones for your need
(whatever that is.)

Anyway, one morning an envelope arrives through my post, and there it was!!
I seriously had a trouble finding the magnet in the envelope.
It was THAT small. It was about half the size of my ear.
(Check my pic !)
But this magnet supposed to pull 2.2kg, which means you need only 12 of them to pick up an Olsen twin.
I was in deep doubt on its ability, it was just SO small!

But I paid good money for it (like, 5 quid!!!), so there I went,
tie a long long woolen yarn,
dip the anchor down, my ear attached to the insulation cover,
trying to hear "clink" of the magnet intacting the wrench.
"I can't hear ANYTHING. Has the wrench melted??"

I'd better dip a ladle to search the bottom of the tank and locate the wrench before launching the weapon, I thought.
So, I pulled out the magnet,
and THERE IT WAS!!
Intact as Liam Gallagher's brows, or even like that KISSING painting by Klimt...

So, I got my wrench back.

And now I have a tiny and VERY reliable magnet on my fridge.
(Told you that the size doesn't matter.)

What am I going to use it for next??

Back to School

My long long Christmas vacation is final and am back to work this morning.
Bad sleeping habit I picked up during the holiday is still haunting me,
I can't seem to sleep, so will have to skip the sleeping and go to work in a few hrs.


HERALD did come, was somewhat interesting.
I won't write them here, though.

Have you ever felt like,
you are at the absolute bottom of everything, when considering your life?
And it is always true that,
when you are certain than nothing of your life can get any worse, it will.

Well, basically, my premonitions were saying that, I have actually seen the bottom,
and that I have no chice
but to climb up from there,
whether I'd like to, or not.

I thought that was cute.

Total Shock

I dropped a spanner into my heating tank, while trying to unclog the pipe, which was blocked by Berkshire's famous lime scales.

I squeezed myself in between the tank and the hot air cupboard walls for hrs, trying to fish it out with ladles, magnatized drivers/philips, wooden spoons and a hammer, and decided that if I slip, I will end up
breaking my neck bone, as I will be trapped by the insulator.

I now need to buy some industrial magnet to literally stick it out from the tank the size of a small composter.

It is just so sad when something you could almost foresee in your head before it happens, then it really happens just as you saw.

Like de ja view. (How do you spell it??)

Great Start

I had the cracking start for the new year.

 I had enough drinks before the new year, and I just have done 3 hrs of heated arguing with my lodger over horror films,

then started having a craving for lo-mein (Japanese one, by the way,) and made myself the 2 quid special instant noodle in a square package. One of those with holes on the lid and you have to drain hot water from them after 3 minutes.

After eating the package full of noodle I've decided it was hardly enough, so went on cooking linguine with cod-roe sauce.
It was yummy and at the same time was making me sick from all the marinating olive oil.

Was about 1.30am and I've decided to pass out, instead of resisting the forces of nature;
was telling me to black out.

Then I got up at 2.30, and done really good stomach emptying job. Now my abdomen is completely vacated, like I went through a de-tox.

What a lovely way to start 01/01/05.

It now is 8am and I feel great, feel brand-new!!

I haven't heard from this year's HERALD.
I usually get some sort of premonitions at the
beginning of a year.
I am not superstitious at all, but I have been having
vivid visions every year, which normally come true.
I think, that it is me determining myself in the fair sight,
taking the consideration on my surroundings and
happenings, and just come up with very accurate
forecasts for the year.
Like, last year, it was telling me that
I am getting rid of my boyfriend,
and that I was getting engaged after.
And that I will have my ex coming around for a bonus
shag in first 10 days of December.
And that I was to have some sort of a reconciliation with Dopie dude. They ALL came true. (!!)
It is pretty exciting, whether I believe it or not, to hear from my HERALD.
If I keep up with this, I am sure to know when I die, and stuff.

Current Drink

Alchy Cherry Coke 3 shots of Cherry Brandy (or similar. Cherry vodka is REALLY great.) 3 shots of Vodka (plain) Fill the glass up with Coke (liquid one) of your choice. I am using Pepsi MAX and a 3/4 pint glass. O, man, I need this, and deserve this.

Who Needs Sleep

I have SO much to do and haven't been able to be up before 5pm.
(Can't sleep till dawn.)
By that time EVERYTHING is closed, and it IS the end of a year time,
many places are never open anyway.
God, I just want my car to start, so I can go away.
Let me go away, with my dogs...

---

Who needs sleep?
Well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
Tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you get
And there's a guy that's been awake
since the second world war
