hey.
it's just after nine in the morning here and star wars episode 1 is on HBO.
how bad is this movie.
it's not even laugh out loud bad, like episode 3.....
i want to watch the public hanging of this kid!
it's like watching a movie of a computer game.
after i got back from my last tour with mogwai, HBO was showing a marathon of the first three episodes......
it lasted something like 8 hours.
i'm not proud of myself.
the 2'nd movie is the worst by far.......i don't think i need to explain.
as i'm watching/typing this, i remember Harley and i, going to see alien vs predator the day it came out on a day off on the curiosa tour in 2004.
we honestly thought it was was going to be good.
we left less than impressed,after spending 90 min in a room where we were the only 2 people who had had sex in their life!
i don't know what i'm doing anymore......
sci fi really let me down.

mega-sh!izahhhhhhhhh!

today the last of the 4 infected spots burst open.
it was something like that scene in alien.
i kid you not.
i ended up with blood all over my face, paniking that i'd got puss in my eye.
it flew about 2 feet into my face!
mental!
the actual infection is not yellow or creamy like normal puss but bright green like a booger in the middle of having the worst flu of your life.....
oh yeah, it kind of pushes it's way out the skin, but it's solid so you have to pull the remaining part out yourself.
it feels unlike anthing else i've ever had to do.
my left ass cheek has a hole in it about the size of a 20p piece and one of the infections on my leg left a hole about an inch deep.
you could put a biro in the hole right now.....
i feel queesey.
out.............

SUCCESS!

whatever septra ds is....... It works!
puss is coming out most of the infected areas and the pain is slowly but surely going away....
I think I'll be cool by Wednesday
cool!

ouch!


i've just come back from the doctors....
4 staff(staph) infections on my left leg.
seems like i got some dirt in the open wound on my knee after soccer on sunday morning.
3 of the infections are right at my scab on my knee.
the other pretty much takes over my left butt cheek.
the doctor says this happened because of taking on and off boxer shorts......
i don't know how it got there.
all i know is that the one one my ass stops me from being able to sit down.
it also is keeping me awake at night.
i'm now on a 10 day coarse of antibiotics.....
i have great pictures of the whole journey from initial cut to losing the scab at the next match to infection.
i'll save these for when i'm all better.
aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
