wheeze, cough, splutter...

went to see doctor today to get something for the wheezing brought on by the bugspray... the inhaler thingy has helped but still rattling a bit... 29 years with bronchitis (16 of those as a cigarette smoker) and at 42 i finally have my first attack of asthma...

managed to catch up with colorado tim and watched the end of the superbowl while chatting to him. was 'rooting' for carolina but as usual, i can't pick a winner...

anyway, if this is monday, this must be
1. I probably spend about half of my life on the computer every day.
2. It always takes me between 30 & 75 minutes to get ready in the morning.
3. I would rather go to the dentist than go to the cinema to watch a sci-fi film...
4. My favorite dessert is um, dessert...
5. When I go to the store for one item, I always walk out with about ten (or more)....
6. If the statement, 'You are what you eat' was true, I would be a smorgasbord...
7. I set my thermostat to 'open the windows and turn on the fan' in the summer and 'close the windows and put the heater on' in the winter.
8. My favorite outdoor activity is walking.
9. My favorite indoor activity is surfing the net.
10. When I'm feeling down, I usually cry, talk to good friends, listen to music.

free ticket sunday...

went with miss e to see 'mystic river' this morning - advertised in friday/saturday papers to screen at 10.30am at fox studios... we front up at the box office - 'sorry, it's not showing. it was not advertised in the papers as showing today. there is a charity preview screening of 'big fish' instead'... another couple of girls turned up for the same screening. a complaint to the manager resulted in free tickets all round - bonus!!! ended up seeing 'underworld' instead. very stylish vampire flick - not totally fabulous but some cute boys and girls to look at and a fun way to waste a sunday morning.

had a fabulous chat with colorado tim this afternoon. this time it was my turn to make him laugh. also nattered with miss em. she sent a new photo of her little lad, taken yesterday at 'koala park'. they may have to go home to the old dart if they cannot get visa stuff sorted - hopefully they will be able to return as permanent residents some time in the near future...
