NAUSEOUS

Feeling extemely nauseous at the moment.

I’m pretty sure it’s a painkiller hangover I’m experiencing right now.

Last night I had another bad reaction. Worst yet. Ugh.

So I’ll list again because this screen is way too large and bright right now.

• The trip to Kawerau wasn’t nearly as hilarious to recap as I thought it would be, but incidents still occured. My dad fell off his stepladder and landed on his shoulder, catching his titanium watch strap against the brick wall, leaving him with some gnarly cuts/bruises/blood blisters on his forearm. He’s fine now, though.

My granddad gave us his old underpants to use as a washcloths whilst painting. He swore they had been washed. Hilarious at the time, particularly as my uncle and I kept swinging them onto our shoulder and asked for “grandfather’s underpants” when we needed to clean our brushes.

Seeing my grandmother is always quite depressing, as we never really know what to say, and the life she has there isn’t very nice.. People keep stealing her stuff. It bummed me out a lot, and I didn’t know if I could do anything. At least granddad visits her every day. They’re still very sweet to each other.

• Purchased tickets to see dylan moran AND the magic numbers. Very exciting.
• Got a haircut, had about 2/3 inches cut off and it’s at my shoulders now, very strange.
• My external hard drive died. Officially. Putting off getting it looked at was in vain when they told me it was unrepairable. Not too bad, really. Just lost all my cartoons (but you guys know how much i love cartoons!) and heaps of original FCP files. Can’t really remember what else is on there, but I’ve done without it for a few weeks, so it can’t be that important?
• How amazing is Heroes? Seriously.

Okay, I might go lie down now.

HASTY

fri, mar 23 07 at 09:37

(bonus health update: i feel fine!)

good morning, it’s 7:27am and i’m squeezing in a blog entry for you crabbypants.

hallo, i am about to be picked up by my dad and uncle- we’re off to kawerau for 3 days to see my grandparents, and to help clear out/paint my grandfather’s house.

as you know, hilarity and frustration usually follow during outings with my father, so look forward to updates when i get back.

seeing my grandparents is always awkward, involving sitting in my grandmother’s room in the old folk’s home.. most of it spent in silence, or talking about mundane things (my dad is awesome at this) like whether my grandmother needs more pants, as my mum can hook her up.

seeing my dad and grandfather together is mindblowing, as they’re similar in a lot of ways, especially in their approach to people and things- inappropriate/insensitive/impatient/closed-minded, etc.

whereas my uncle is logical, levelheaded and hilarious. what happened?

i debated for a long time whether i should go or not, as my dad kept insisting how boring it was going to be and that i would just end up sitting around most of the time (i dont doubt this.), but i guilted myself into agreeing, cos really, i’m quite the terrible grandchild and i hardly see my grandparents, no matter how awkward it is.

so here we go. i’m armed with 2 books, a graphic novel, a DS, an ipod and my knitting.

how bad could it be?

okay, update. had a look at my tonsils in the mirror with a torch and i’m pretty sure i have tonsillitis. (judging from the gross photos on wikipedia- my tonsils look exactly the same. i’ll spare you the gross pictures.)

YUSSSSSSSSSS

hello antibiotics my old friend. i’ll see you in 2 hours after my doctor’s appointment today.

so help me if i need a tonsillectomy. i’d scream if it didnt hurt so bad!

also, i signed up for virb yesterday. it’s pretty much a bajillion times better than myspace, design wise. not to mention how it’s basically flickr, last.fm (or audioscrobbler if you’re oldschool), blogger and youtube combined.

And since it only launched publicly yesterday, chances are you can get a sweet first-choice url.

…if you’re into that kinda stuff.

so yeah, you should sign up since i have no friends and i spent ages customising my profile, cos i’m a nerd like that. virb.com/tanya.

If i didn’t see you last night, that means you probably missed out on camera obscura.

they sound as miserable as they look.

but in a good way. true melancholic indie pop at its finest.

if i’ve made you a mix cd recently, you may recognise “Lloyd, I’m Ready to be Heartbroken”. please go listen.

hearts hearts hearts hearts. i definitely got my swoon on.

i feel like a pictionary/cranium/scene-it/trivial pursuit/boardgames night soon. anyone else keen?
