Six Stationary Dragons

I’m half way through the second episode of Six Flying Dragons. I have been for days. I have little to no desire to watch it, instead finding myself loosing time doing nothing and then deciding it’s too late to watch it now.

I know I need to give it a good shot. I’m watching it because it’s one of the most highly rated dramas on Viki, so it must be worth watching. It wasn’t even that I didn’t enjoy it, more that it just didn’t hook me in.

The ever growing desire to watch Decendants of the Sun might also have a little something to do with it.

I also thought of rewatching The 100, seeing as that is restarting fairy soon, so that’s probably not helping either.

Not that I’ve started watching either of these series instead.

Mostly I’m just too tired to be bothered to put it on.



EDIT: I was just about to settle down to sleep when I decided a security wee would be wise, seeing as I have drunk 2 litres of redbush tea since 6pm. I was surprised to find an empty landing, and even more surprised when the patter of little paws didn’t come racing up the stairs within seconds. Then I heard a very pathetic sounding mewling. Agi had shut herself in the lounge, and she was very lucky that I decided to pee or she’d have been stuck there, minus food, water and litter, all night. Not that she seems to like her food or water staying in their bowls at the moment, or her poop in the litter tray ...

Not Quite

I was hoping to do a review post tonight, but I’m half an hour through the final episode of Bad Guys and I can’t seem to keep my eyes open, so I guess that’ll be tomorrow or something instead.

I don’t like typing on iPad. Everything is never quite right when you do, and you end up having to change a lot as you re-read through it.

I dint think I cab even write anymore, I, too tired. I’ve had a stinkin* headache all day. I can’t eve; be bothered to change wga5 had been written so here you go, what my blogs look like before I proof read them. I blame the iPad keyboard.

I just want to sleep

I just woke up from my pre sleep nap and remembered I hadn’t posted, so here I am even though I would much rather go to sleep instead.

I don’t even have anything to say. Had a lovely evening in with Rachey tonight and she helped me figure stuff out, while eating sticks a celery and watching Moulin Rouge.

Agi is very pouncy at the moment. I need to figure out how to change that because she is absolutely destroying my arms and legs. It was a lovely day today and everyone else was in short sleeves and bare legs, and there’s me with my cardigan and black tights because I don’t want to expose my mauled limbs. I think I just have a constant smell of Savlon about me from the amount I have to plaster on new scratches every day.

Right that’s enough. Good night.

Time Flies

Back to work tomorrow. The easter holidays have flown by, and I would totally not complain at another two weeks off. That’s the problem with lomger breaks, you get used to not working, and then it becomes harder to get back into the swing of things. Tonight for example, I intended to get an early night. Yet here I am, nearing midnight and I’m still awake.

I am tired though. I woke up early this morning - at least early for a day without plans.

I have also eaten a lot of dairy in the past few days so need to do something about that. I can’t very well see what effect giving up dairy has if I don’t actually give it up.

I guess this is turning until a “from tomorrow I’ll do this and this” type of post. This is boring even for me so I’m going to cut it short here instead, and go to sleep.

sleeeeep

I didn’t post last night because it was very late and I decided to try and get to sleep instead.

Tonight, I’m attempting to post to avoid missing another day, but I’m really tired and just want to go to sleep. I’m aware that I’m spelling things wrong and making a lot of silly mistakes, and pretty soon I won’t be bothered enough to correct them.

In the old days, this used to be called sleep posting. Basically when your eyes are so heavy that they’re barely open as you type. Great fun to reread, more embarrassing for the other party.

Short run down of the past couple of days in sleep post style.
Friday - Had a date, we talked a lot, my cat spilled dip all down my front.
Saturday - new home visit, floor picnic, trip to park, girl chats

I’m so sleepy now

Flupp

A few days ago, I weighed myself and the result shocked me a little. Worried about putting on too much weight before the wedding, I decided not to do anything about it and see how it goes. 

Today I ate a ridiculous amount, so I don't think I have to worry about that anymore. 

A world without Internet

I made a veil today. It was surprisingly easy. 

I'd done some research online, which made the whole thing considerably easier. Such as figuring out how much to gather to the comb, and how to cord the edge, so that I didn't have to mess around with trying, and could just do it. 

Made me think, how did people do this sort of stuff before the Internet? It must have taken someone ages to figure out how to do something they hadn't done before. True, something like a veil is pretty straight forward, but I could have messed around with just the cord widths for weeks before I found something that was the right size. Trail and error on the gathering, wasting metres of thread and tulle. Instead, I did the whole thing in just a couple of hours. Aces.

This sort of thing is why I set up the new blog. So I could do tips and tutorials. Even diaries of costumes made for shoots. I need to get around to starting that up, try and boost my online professional presence. I even contemplated online sewing courses. Along with the bridal stuff, obviously.

This is all stuff that needs to go on the back burners for a while. At least until I can afford a day off. 

Subliminal

Random new splurdge of Tokyo Dogs comments. And I thought it had all calmed down. 

They're all spam sbout weight loss and exercise. I'm starting to wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something, 

Forever Alone

Once again ... Fail at catch up posts. 

I will do them ... Eventually.

It sounds really anti social, but I'm kind of enjoying my own company too much to be doing normal things yet. Being on set is really intense, a lot of people spending a lot of time together in a small space, so I think it takes a few days to recover. Especially when staying in someone else's home, so you dont even get night time to have some privacy. Couple that with how depressed I had been feeling, and I guess I'm still recovering. 

My legs started peeling today. I thought it would be nice new skin underneath, but it feels dryer and more damaged than the previous layer. Rubbish.

BeeBeeQueue

I'm sleepy, so you know this post probably won't end with me being awake.

Had my first BBQ of the year this evening. It lacked s'mores because we all ate too much to start with and left no room for marshmallowy goodness. It probably didn't help that we all got cold and headed inside, and that I was the only one who liked them anyway. Still, I came home with the marshmallows and caramel chocolate digestives, so I can have them whenever I like ... on the gas hob.

I could use my candle I guess, but I'm really liking this one and I don't really want to mess with it. It's a Yankee candle, and I never really thought much of them because they are so expensive, but you can't deny they smell good. This one is fluffy towels, and it's such a clean, fresh scent. It smokes like a bitch though when you blow it out, so the lid thing comes in handy.

I did my spray thing right before I started writing this post, and the horrible taste is just starting to work it's way down my throat. Yuk.

501

That last post was my 500th post. But I didn't realise until afterwards so ...

Woo! 501th post!

Sorry it's not a better blog, something with more point or direction. Sometimes I post about Asian drama, sometimes about asian music, and more often than not its a diary. But that's how I like it, and it's not like I ask anyone to read it.

I'm at my sisters for the night, and I finally got to see her wedding venue. It's really cosy and intimate, modern but countrified. Suits them down to a tee. We had a meal tasting, and it all went rather well. It's quite awesome that they get to offer 2 starters, 3 mains and 2 desserts, not even counting the vegetarian and vegan options. It's more like a massive group booking at a restaurant than a wedding meal.

Trust my sister to be different!

Distant

It's amazing how much you miss when you don't check your social media for just a weekend. It's taken me like half an hour to get up to speed on twitter, and that was pretty much just the highlights. I haven't even started on Facebook and YouTube yet. YouTube could take hours.

I'm tired. I know this because I just dropped my phone on my face. I don't even know if I can be bothered to take off my makeup.

127

Yesterday, I was complaining about how I was somewhere with good Internet but no phone signal. Tonight, I'm somewhere with good phone signal but no Internet. Swings and roundabouts, here in the depths of the countryside.

I'm really sleepy, but my discomfort is making me not able to settle down. I keep thinking I need to go to the toilet.

Watched 127 hours tonight. Finally. It was okay. Not as horrific as I thought, but also not as exciting. Don't get me wrong, it's an inspiring story, but I can't help but feel like it was made into a film purely for the sake of it.

My tooth pain is now also turning into earpain, so that sucks. I have also got to stop typing with my eyes closed.

EDIT - this was written at 2 am, and then I couldn't post it due to afore mentioned lack of internet. So you get it now.

spam

For some unknown reason, my Tokyo Dogs post has been getting a lot of attention today.

I get spam comments every now and again, and normally, blogger removes them before I get to see them. But 8 in one day? On a post that is nearly 2 years old and about a Japanese TV series? So weird.

They're not exactly subtle at being spam either. I liked the one that said that the last part included extremely helpful information. The last part was me fangirling over SHINee. Hardly information or helpful, even if they were seeking this certain information for a very long time.

Boom

I'm starting to get really fed up of my BT home hub broadband cutting out all the time. It always happens at the most inconvient times, like right in the middle of a video, and then it will take ages for it to start again, only to stop minutes later. It's very annoying. I was just watching Heartstrings when I nurse said to a sick patient "make sure you breathe deeply or your lungs will shrivel up." I really hope that it just didn't translate well. It's either that or nurses in Kpra need to work on their bedside manor. Speaking of nurses, I was looking down at my hands a few minute ago and for a few seconds thought I has contracted jaundice as my hands were tinged yellow. Then I remembered that I had been screen printing yellow at school earlierToo . It was my last day today. It's very bittersweet, because I was sorry to leave but at the same time, keen too. I'm doing that train thing were you want to sleep so shut your eyes (I have no idea what I'm talking about either, proves point) <3 x


EDIT: Yes, I am aware this makes no sense. I was sleep blogging and posting on my iphone. Keeping it as is for the lolz.
