Set Up Like A Deck Of Cards
Apr 14
This is what insanity must feel like
- Tail-end of a week-long head cold (aka man flu)
- Sleep deprivation for the last week due to aforementioned crippling affliction
- End of a week of 30% overtime due to staff shortages
- Awake at 6am this morning for the F1 qualifying
- Four hours at work on a Saturday, due to staff shortages
- Doped up on painkillers and cold medicine
- All I’ve had to eat today is a bowl of mushroom soup and a slice of toast
- Been drinking home measures of Jack & Coke for the last two hours
- My teeth are itchy
- My voice sounds amazing
- My laugh sounds incredible
- My head feels twice as dense as it normally does
- I think I might actually have two heads, only I can’t see the other one in the mirror
- Who are you?
- Who am I?
- Where am I?
- Why?

Going to work on a Saturday

Did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio only made four films between The Beach and The Departed? Doesn’t it seem like there should be a bigger gap than six years/four movies between those films?
I swear films are the worst way of trying to judge time.
In other news, Point Break is over twenty years old.

Apparently, in America, apple cider is not an alcoholic drink. I didn’t know that. I made this using Strongbow.
Iss trong.

One of the few things I’m certain about in life is that my favourite film is All The President’s Men. Knowing something like that for sure gives me comfort.
After watching The Shawshank Redemption again tonight, for maybe the twentieth time, the only thing I don’t love about the film is that it makes me question one of the few certainties in my life.
I kind of wish Red had never gotten Andy that rock hammer.

Today in Note Form
- Overslept
- The sun was blazing, it was warm, but there was frost on the ground and my car had frost on the glass that I had to scrape off
- Got a puncture on the drive to work
- Had to pull over on a hill in the middle of nowhere
- Couldn’t get the new tyre on because the disc kept slipping every time I tried to put the new tyre on, so I couldn’t align the bolts
- Got dirty and sweaty and really pissed off
- Called my boss at work to say I’d be late, who then drove out to meet me and helped with the tyre by sitting in the car with his foot on the brake so I could align the disc and get the tyre on
- Went home, had a shower, put on new clothes, ate a bowl of cereal and then drove back into work for 10.30am
