Happy hump day,
Boolings! We’re in the midst of a heat wave in Jozi, which has left me both re-energized
and immovable in equal parts. The sunshine does seem to have flipped a switch
in my motivation centre, though, so I've been a busy little Boo. A few things
which have kept me occupied and happy the last few days are:
* Today’s perfectly symmetrical date.
21.11.12. I celebrate imperfections, but sometimes find myself drawn to symmetry,
and, strangely, calmed by it. I hope that means that today is going to be calm, unlike the last few!
* Choke. We finally got around to watching
it while we were incapacitated by Sunday’s heat. I don’t know what took so
long, but I loved it! Sam Rockwell is seriously underrated. Also: Paige is the vicious
underage tart in Trainspotting!
* Our garden produced a freak flower on Saturday
morning! And it was BEAUTIFUL!
* The freak flower got me inspired to play
in the garden. I tend to hibernate too much, especially when I’m engrossed in
something like A Song of Ice and Fire, but it was awesome to be out in the sun
again! The upside of a heatwave, I guess.
* I trimmed my fringe on Monday morning. A
little wonky and short, but I still like it! I feel so much more put together
when my fringe isn’t stabbing at my eyes or getting in my mouth.
* The new Rolling Stones video. OH. EM. GEE
* Due to a small personal fuel crisis, I’ve
been getting a lift to work in the mornings. My body clock has me waking up earlier than usual, though, but that’s
not a bad thing. I have so much extra time on my hands in the morning, that
allows me to do shit I don’t normally get to do. Like trim my fringe. Or read
chapter upon chapter of A Feast of Crows, and have Mister Boo threaten to burn
all the books. He forgets that I know the first rule of sword fighting because
of those books.

* The Circle of Seven. I’ve got great
plans to put my Dream Team together this weekend. I’ll keep you updated!
* One of the comments on this post:
‘Change is a reminder of death, which is a reminder of life – and life is in
your head, and how you choose to contextualize yourself.’
* Gala Darling’s Nostalgic Mix Tape. I’ve
been listening to it all morning, and it’s taken my day from Ho-hum to Awe-sum!
God, the goosebumps!!
* Arting it up when I can’t bear the
thought of moving. I seem to be drawn to drawing and scratching at canvas with
fine liners, and I’m determined to follow my inspiration, no matter how weird,
so I went to bed looking more like a Rorschach test than usual.
* Beating my body. I’ve had a horribly
sore throat for about two weeks now, since I was on the last bout of
antibiotics. I’m so tired of medication and feeling shitty while it supposedly
makes me better, and I’m bored with doctors’ bullshit guesses, so I decided I
just needed to ride this out. I’ve been doing saltwater gargling,
lemon-honey-ginger-and-cayenne pepper teas, Vicks facial steams, herbal throat
remedies, and yelling at my body to just.get.better.already. And hey presto! I
feel better!!
The Little Things:
* My hot pink skull necklace *
The best cosplay of all time * Spur-of-the-moment candlelit outside dinners.
* Delicious
Monday night curries and creepy movies with Magical Trevor. *
I hope the coming week is as fabulous as the last, for all of you Boolings.
