I’ve decided that as boring as surgery recovery is, it could be much, much worse. How on earth people did it before computers is beyond me. My laptop has become my best friend.
On that note, here are some things I have been enjoying doing, online and otherwise.
Despite the seemingly endless supply of crap online, I have found these wee golden nuggets of internet joy:
Jason Good’s blog (http://jasongood.net/) thanks to my friend Blaise. He has a new post every day, most of which are quite hilarious.
Unfollowing Jesus (http://unfollowingjesus.com/) – not for the easily offended or those in the Christian way. Funny for the rest of us.
My sleeping has not been so good at doing its job, so I’ve been watching British television brilliance on YouTube well into the night. Lots of full episodes on there from my current favourites, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and QI. WATCH THEM. I will quietly confess to enjoying keeping up with new episodes of The Big Bang Theory online, too. Hey, sometimes you want to watch crap, and for crap it’s not too bad.
I’ve also been writing a few reviews. You can find my latest one here: http://libel.co.nz/3176-the_panics_rain_on_the_humming_wire#.Tpan6fkuAV4.twitter. If you go back a few reviews, you’ll find the Boy & Bear one I did, too!
Currently enjoying the musical stylings of Thrice (how did it take me so long to get round to listening to these guys?!) and Alkaline Trio. Both deliciously good alt rock.
I finished The Book Thief and it was AMAZING. Every single person ever should read it. Am now on to the book of The Help, a movie I saw a few weeks ago. I’ve also finally picked up Neil Gaimon’s American Gods. Looking forward to getting stuck into it.
I saw The Lion King in 3D at the movies!! It was my first ever movie at the movies, back in 1994 (in 2D – old school). I remember it mostly from the Lion King activity book I was bought from a gas station on the way home. 3D didn’t add much to the experience, but reliving my childhood was amazing. That movie will never get old.
My knitting now lives in a draw. I can’t keep it out or the kitten goes into attack mode (as Mum learned the hard way on several occasions!). The flip side of this is that I never see it and I forget about it so I don’t do it. Oops. Also, Mum being in Sydney means my attempts at reading the pattern have been somewhat fruitless without her guidance. I will get there though. I have a niece now, and I’d hate for her to grow out of it before it’s even done!
That is all. For now.
