Started coughing again last night.
Not seriously, but it's a step back.
Finished the steroids yesterday morning...
Going back to school tomorrow, soddit.
I can take time off for an appointment if I have to.
Sick & tired of being at home and feeling useless.

Dad's 72nd birthday today.
Mum bitching because we were going to go down the Dairy Maid for lunch.
Then Laura suggested Wetherspoons in town as Tuesday is Steak Club. Dad loves a steak but Mum hates cooking it, so she thought it would be perfect.
Except Dad has a cold (Mum is trying to keep up, but I can tell she's over-stating her ailment) and isn't sure he can handle a steak. He fancies an omelette.

Main cause of row?
I came in with the Steak Club menu and Dad said he might be able to manage one after all.
Mum sees this as Dad changing his mind so as not to disappoint me - straight to RED ALERT on temper front. The time she threatened to smash him in the face was when we both told him different things and he went along with what I said.

I've been back-pedalling madly and found a pub in town that does 2 for 1 main meals AND serves omelettes. I don't care where we go.

Mum is now saying there is no point in going out anywhere.
Sheesh. His bloody birthday.

Row blew over as you can see in Aylesbury thread.

Not in school after all.
Went for check up and written off for another week.
But there is progress. Temperature gone, oxygen level improved, peak flow good and sound of infection almost gone.

Acute bronchitis is the final diagnosis, which means they've been right to treat the symptoms all the way along as it's a viral infection and simply has to run its course. I'm just grateful to have news that I am getting better and to walk out of there without another prescription.

Everyone on FB is talking about the supermoon! Go outside and look at the supermoon. It will be the biggest moon of the year! It's at it's closest point in its orbit around the Earth, and is thousands of miles closer than usual.

All this is true. But you will be disappointed if you go look. It will look just like the regular full moon. It is like 1% bigger than normal, but you won't notice a difference. If you were able to compare a regular moon to a supermoon side by side, you would see a slight difference. But all alone in the sky up there, it will look like the same old moon.

Here's a comparison of a regular moon with a super moon.

I'm all in favor of getting people excited about astronomy and going outside to look up. But false advertising annoys me. There's nothing "super" about this moon. Rant over.

You're really super, super moon.

How bout Thor?

(you're thor? I couldn't pith for a week!)

monster · 05-07-2012, 10:03 PM

Thor will becaome an eponym when he's good and ready. And you can bet it'll be an international meme/scandal.

I made a joke referencing that old movie The Walls Have Eyes. While looking that up, I found this movie: Termite: The Walls Have Eyes (nothing to do with the former.) This movie looks totally and completely awesome and riveting and scary. Want!

Holy awesome movies batmonkey!

That looks a must see. Am off to find now.

infinite monkey · 05-11-2012, 12:45 PM

Oh, let me know. I have no idea how I will get my hands on it. I'm sure it isn't carried in any movie store or department store around here.

DanaC · 05-11-2012, 12:59 PM

Gods damnit! Nope. Can't find it anywhere except on sign up and let them fill your computer with shit sites.

infinite monkey · 05-11-2012, 01:40 PM

Ahhh, Dana...found it on Amazon as a pre-order. It won't be released until June 5.

I'm getting it. What a great one for the collection!

DanaC · 05-11-2012, 03:09 PM

Fuckin 'A' !

That's totally cool. Can't wait for that to come out.

That supermoon was mighty fine for me, as I was in a forest in Victoria around a big bonfire with 30 or 40 freaky people playing drums and instrumental jams and getting wild and funky.

Darn that was fun.
