Piffle!
Hi-de-ho!
Aside from buying some more food (I had eaten pretty much everything, down to the can of tuna in the bottom of the cupboard) yesterday I also finally got around to taking the curtains in my room to the local laundromat and giving them a good wash and spin in the dryers.
It sounds a strange thing to be proud of, but owing to my windows always being closed, as well as the on-off heating in the flat, my curtains had started growing green fur. Which didn't really matter so much, since they were red curtains (it wasn't so much of a clash, per se), but I did figure that it really wasn't something that I should tolerate for long.
I would have actually sorted it out a while ago, but I don't have a dryer in the flat, and I didn't want to hang them up damp, since that would be a variation on the situation which caused the deplorable state of affairs.
So now my curtains are clean, dry and my room is actually smelling much better (ie much less musty) as a result. Huzzah!
(geez I'm terrible)
Anyways, I have no idea what time I turned in last night, but I do know that it couldn't have been more than half an hour into The Magnificent Seven that I realised that I really wanted to sleep. So I lay down, fully dressed in my now-less-musty room under my defurred curtains and that was that.
In the same vein I have no idea what time my mother called from Australia. But it is always nice to get a call from home.
I woke up this morning at about half five and amused myself reading American Gods and T-shirts that had been hanging up to dry.
Mid afternoon I watched the OC, followed by Stargate, followed by Star Trek Enterprise. It is the first time in quite a while I've seen any of those shows.
The Star Trek episode I saw was most memorable, being the second part of the A Mirror, Darkly two-parter, with an alternate universe where everyone was evil instead of benevolent and instead of the Federation of Planets there was The Terran Empire. The evil universe being complicated by a Federation Starship from the 23rd century somehow being lured to to evil universe, 22nd century.
It seemed to be the Star Trek writers and actors poking a whole lot of fun at themselves. For example, one scene involved a carnivorous reptile loose onboard, to be investigated by a security team, all wearing red tunics.
Naturally, everyone wearing a red tunic is dead by the next scene. Brilliant.
Tomorrow begins another week.
Here I come.
Over and out.
