Toilet Cleaning Gel.

Fig A: Five minutes after purchase.

After many a work-out (read: overexposure to cable TV at the gym) I became thoroughly convinced that the only way to keep my toilet bowl truly free of lime scale and toilet rings was to simply use a Scrubbing Bubbles Dispenser to stamp a Toilet Cleaning Gel Disc onto the inside of my toilet bowl which would then, apparently, activated by just a flush, unleash an army of tiny little cartoon scrubbing bubbles which would sweep the entire inside of my toilet bowl and leave it squeaky clean forever!

Fig B: 30 minutes after purchase.

I was duped out of five bucks by a commercial with cartoon bubbles.

Back.

Feeling much better after an entire day off to be in bed :)

Edit: Alas, I've celebrated too early... flu symptoms are back.. with flu-mutation friends...(dies)

Edit Edit: 100% recovery over the weekend XD

Sick Day.

Compliment.

Said my Australian landlord to me in a one-sentence-long email after I informed him that I successfully replaced the broken toilet flapper in my bathroom. Perhaps he thought referring to me as a “handy man” would be deemed as sexist so went the cut-and-paste route to turn the term into something more palatable for a lady such as me.


The compliment pleases me much, much more than it probably should.

Sick.

My head yesterday! Felt not unlike a giant balloon filled with murky liquid floating in an expanse of deafening scribbles. Thankfully after an uninterrupted night of sleep free of fever I feel my head has returned back to its proper place in more or less its proper size.

Future is Now.

Fig A: What I thought 2011 would look like in 1993

Jetpacks as the transportation of choice and people dressed in funky little aerodynamic outfits made out of aluminum foil.


Fig B: What 2011 looks like in 2011

No jetpacks (at least none that won’t spontaneously combust 10 seconds into the air), and no aluminum foil outfits, but thanks to Blue Tooth, it is now socially acceptable for perfectly sane and respectable adults to talk loudly to themselves in public. Yay future.

Lunch Hour.

Golden Spoon on an incredibly warm and sun-shiney afternoon makes happies! (Though warm it was, me thinks it was a biiiiit early to bust out the open-toed heels lol)
