thought my foot fixed itself, and it’s been fine for the last two weeks, with only occasional twitches.
unfortunately it swollen up again, and i had to go to a dinner with family later on today.
hopefully it’s all good by then.
of the return of the bastard
of remembering the feeling
doesn’t come out quite the way i imagined it . ah well
of a prophetic quality
jh@aim linked ‘what’s the number 1 hit when you were born’ from fb. not feeling confident that they’re not going to mess around with my data, so i just looked the same information from the web.
turned out that the number 1 hit when i was born was
another one bites the dust, by queen
if i were a character in a fantasy novel, the blind seer who predicted my birth would’ve lol’d to death.
of a new (good?) manga
dunno where to put this, so here’s as good as any other place.
kei toume (lament of the lamb, sing yesterday for me, acony) just released a new series, Mahoromi – Jikuu Kenchiku Genshitan. hopefully it’s as good as her other works.
of not being so unique
so i was talking about the ‘bantal guling’ and the fact that i never encountered them in the ‘western world’, turned out that they do exist in western world and are known as ‘bolsters’, but with different usage (according to wiki)
of doing it, again and again
customary update from halfway-point-flight.
not really a news.
omw back to melbourne, be there in around 9 hours or so. maybe more. or not.
felt like the home visit this time worthed more (than usual, if such thing could be quantified). not really connectionless, but it’s abit of a hassle having to go to some sort of commercial place to ride on their wifi.
got a bantal guling (literal translation: rolling pillow. hmm). and coffee.
gouted feet was a lot better, walking cane got cracked by some careless placing, not that i need it, but i still have to carry it around.
of an old song
so even with my strange stubborness i had to accept that gout has happened to me.
soz for keep on talking about it (made a few people queazy actually)
with it, i was spposed to watch what im eating. no more red meat extravaganza, even have to take care of just nibbles of white meat every now and then, and mostly fruit. i’m turning vegetarians? o no.
here’s a zappa song
mr green genes
eat your greens – don’t forget your beans & celery
don’t forget to bring – your fake I.D. – eat a bunch of these
MAGNIFICIENT – With sauerkraut
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM -Sauerkraut!
eat a grape, a fig – a crumpete too …
you’ll pump ‘em right through – doo-wee-ooo
eat your shoes – don’t forget the strings – and socks
even eat the box – you bought ‘em in
you can eat the truck – that brought ‘em in
garbage truck
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMouldy – garbage truck
eat the truck & driver – and his gloves
NUTRITIOUSNESS – DELICIOUSNESS – WORTHLESSNESS
of a few scraps of tidbits of morsels of text
dumping few text journal
[31/03/09] a crazy old man in boxhill (he was sitting in a cafe) singing words of obscenity in indonesian (well, hokkian dialect, really), replacing a familiar tune’s lyrics with ‘dicks’, ‘vaginas’, ‘fucks’ etc. the tune goes like
5-5-5-1.-3.
5-5-5-1.-3.
1.-1.-1.-1.-7-6-5
5-5-5-7-2-.
5-5-5-7-2.
5.-6.-5.-4.-3.-2.-1.
interesting that he only ’sing’ the first line of the song
[17/10/09] went to macca for a quick brekky, was pisspoor quality.
hotcakes were lukewarm at best, poorly packaged (lid was not properly fastened) so that when it was dropped into the paper bag (vertically), the contents were spilling all over the bag. sausage and egg muffin was half wrapped, and it is dropped in the bag as well, so that everything is jumbling inside the bag.
no ’syrup’ until asked (the main reason why i bother to get to macca in the first place was to get the hotcakes and the maple sauce), and only one knife with no fork.
iced coffee was around 3/5 cup full (because i saw the person who’s ‘making’ the icecoffee just picked up an almost-empty bottle of their ice coffee, pour all of its leftover content into the plastic glass, and cbf to get a new bottle to fill it up.
wrote about it in their complain section in the website, and they called me, then they sent me an apology letter, saying that i could use that letter to act as a $10 voucher in the shop. haven’t use it yet, knowing how well they would ‘prepare’ the food for someone who was complaining about their quality in the first place
[11/02/10] saw a bus heading to ’scotland’. was very excited to see it, tho at the end it’s just a bus going to ’southland’. bah.
very big thunderstorm happening in the bus stop. few dimmed light, but no major catastrophe.
overheard the stuff that the myki staff said about their product, basically “if you got any sort of trouble, call this number”, while encouraging new people to buy the product right on the spot.
of crescending madness
first i thought it was a spider bite
then thought it was a dvt (deep vein thrombosis)
then further along, it seems like the condition im having is gout.
basically i’m shifting the information on the net (not just wiki) and each time i changed my mind about what happened to the leg is when i found a more-specific syndrome about the certain illness.
for me, inflammatory arthritis at the first metatarsal is very specific.
and it might have something to do with the fact that i didn’t have enough coffee lately.
hm..
of grief, overseas.
back when i was studying animation one of the memorable lessons from one of the mentors there was about creating characters for a project (animation/interactive/storytelling) is to make a central character distinguishly memorable compare to other characters.
cheap way of doing it would be the physical differences, such as if the whole population in the ‘world’ is average looking people, the main character would have 1 leg instaed of two, or the character have a bald head or hair with interesting pattern while the rest or ‘normal’
looking at my current condition (balding, almost 1-legged, fat bastard) i’d accuse myself of trying to have too much character.
heading back to .id for 8-10days in 3 days time. really wishing the leg would be alright before then.
