So 2 blogs in one day, wow! I'm trying to blog as often as possible, not out of some sense of obligation (as noone reads this anyway), but to preserve memories and thoughts that I have.
After I watched Desperate Housewives today, I did Davina's superfit workout (which I've started doing every day), and although I can't yet do the full 40 minutes, only 20, I'm really starting to feel the benefits. Ideally I'd like to get to the stage where I can run flat out for a few minutes and not be worried about my asthma. I get very paranoid about safety, especially at night, and I'd like to be able to know I can run away from any dangerous situations. The last time I had to run from a situation like that I got totally out of breath and suddenly the danger wasn't being caught, it was having an asthma attack, so I had to stop running. My lungs deserve better!
Mum and I then went to my uncle's house, which is always an experience. He and my aunt have four sons ranging in age from 1 to 13 so it's a bit of a mad house but I love my family. They got back the results of their house's feng shui assessment and apparently they have a vortex in the bedroom which was taken very seriously. I don't really understand feng shui, but it all seems a little ridiculous.
Wow.. I've just had to stop my train of thought as my cat has actually deigned to sit on Maria's lap. She's been so distant recently, only occasionally allowing people to tickle behind her ears that this is a major step forward! I love her happy face >.<
I went to an acoustic night with Kerry tonight to see Gazz play, he was supporting Dave McPherson from InMe. It was a nice chilled out night; Gazz has a lovely voice and I always enjoy hearing him play. We stayed for a couple more acts but got bored and wandered up to Sainsbury's where I debated for a while over whether to buy sushi or not (not) and surveyed the selection of white wine. I don't drink much, but when I do it is white wine :)
It was so lovely spending some time just Kerry and I, we rarely hang out just us. I am going to make a conscious effort to try and have more one-to-one time with friends, it's nice to have a proper chat with people.
Later!

Citrus and albums
So my parents are back now, and as glad as I am to not be in an empty house any more, it is still difficult living with them. Mum and I watched two episodes of Desperate Housewives this morning; she is catching up with the ones I've watched while she's been away and it's so difficult to not blurt out what's happening in my timeline!
Yesterday I just tidied up the house more and played a LOT of Sims 3. On Tuesday night I was standing in the DJ booth chatting to Matt, he put on a Radiohead song which I found I actually loved, so I've got over my unfounded prejudice against Radiohead and downloaded their most recent album, and I'm really enjoying listening to it. I've actually got into listening to entire albums recently; seeing how they are formed and the thought processes.
I listened to two of the songs from Muse's new album yesterday, and honestly I don't like them. If prompted as to my favourite band, Muse will always be my answer as they are just so epic, but I'm a little worried that this new album will be disappointing.
I am sitting on my little spot on the sofa with my mum in her spot next to me. Every time Desperate Housewives breaks, she looks at me and goes 'ooooh!', which I've just pointed out and now every time she does it we laugh. I love these little moments with her. She just started eating an orange and I always forget how much I love the smell of citrus. It reminds me of being outside in the spring, lying on the grass and reading a book. I'm not entirely sure how citrus has become entwined with that particular memory, maybe she was eating an orange then as well. My cat Gretel hates the smell of citrus though, so she steers clear of me whenever I've eaten or drank anything citrusy. Apparently all felines hate citrus, maybe it means danger to them?
My friends have just introduced me to the joys of FarmVille on Facebook and I can feel my social life slowly being controlled by my harvesting hours: 'Oh sorry, I have to go home now, my wheat will be ready to harvest and I don't want it to go bad.'
On that note, my raspberries are ready to harvest. Later!
Currently listening to: 15 Step - Radiohead. I love that it's in 5, but it makes it difficult to dance to.
