Headspace

Do you ever have periods where your head is utterly full, and there’s really not much room – if any at all – for other stuff? Well, that’s been this week for me.

I’m sure I’ll write a load about various things in the end, but for now there’s a process going on of trying to get it all to make sense first. Doomed to failure, of course, but there we go.

So anyway, there’s chuff all happening here – however, Emily is looking for tales of casual sex (to add to her book, rather than random pervery) so go on, have some fun over there.

Inertia

Well, last night I ended up sleeping at something like 3am, and up at 7.30. Yet I feel better than when I’ve been going to bed at midnight. There’s no logic to this, and it’s doing my head in.

And in other news I still feel like shite, healthwise. Thank Christ it’s Friday, and the weekend looms.

However, today may be slow on the updates – there’s a distinct air of lethargy about the place. Hope you don’t mind.

Men

Why is it that so many men are such complete knob-heads?

A friend of mine came over this evening to see La Mala Educacion (“Bad Education”) by Pedro Almodovar. Her boyfriend knew where we were, yet when she came out of the cinema, there were no less than six missed calls from him.

After that, having called back, and despite telling him she was going to be driving, the numbnuts cockknocker called back another four times. Absolutely bizarre – I swear I don’t understand how people think that this kind of behaviour is either a) sane, b) attractive, and c) likely to keep the relationship going.

I despair.

Camel – Horse Designed By Committee

According to a new study, committees are stressful, boring, and unproductive. I’m amazed it’s taken this long for anyone to figure it out, really – obviously the people doing the study had never worked for a local authority, or any form of Government.

Improving The Day

Considering the last post though, today is actually rating as a Bloody Good Day^® so far. Only a couple of weeks ago, I observed (not here, but to the parents) that one of my favourite bands, the Cowboy Junkies, hadn’t toured in ages. Then I saw an ad in NME that said they were playing one gig. In London. The next day. Arse-nuggets.

Anyway, I had a look around today, and they’re doing a UK tour, including playing a gig in Manchester in October. Tickets have already been purchased, and I’m looking forward to it. Fan-bloody-tastic!

Drained

God, I wish I knew what was going on with my sleep cycle. I’m utterly shattered – and not feeling particularly well, but that’s not something I’ll bother people with. Anyway, due to feeling rougher than a badger’s arse, I’ve actually been going to bed early – around midnight-ish. Yet still I feel shattered, and actually feel worse than when I go to bed at the normal time, of between two and three.

As it is, the option of just collapsing and dying really quite appeals at the moment. I wonder if it’s not a reaction from my body of “Ooooh, I remember this sleep thing – I want some more, so I’m going to chuff you up ’til you get some.”

Thank God that this coming weekend is one where I don’t have much planned. Well, except for a friend moving in for an undetermined period while she sorts her life out. That won’t be stressful or chaotic, oh no.

Geeky : 2

For once, a geeky question about CSS. (Yes, I know *Yawn*) I’m trying to get a site design that uses a graphic background, then the content appears over the background, but with a degree of transparency.

What I mean by this is that I want the background image to appear, even when the content is there, rather than the content section being a plain opaque colour. I’m sure it’s a CSS command of something like opacity:0.9 – but I can’t find it. Any advice will be gratefully received.
