I never was not a fan. Now, however, I am a massive fan. Why? Because of this simple quote from him:
The actor says political debate and argument is necessary. “That’s what sparked me for this film and Good Night, and Good Luck,” he commented. “I said I’m not going to be quiet because someone has called me a traitor.”
“It’s the most ridiculous argument I’ve ever heard. The most patriotic thing you can do in a country is question the government.”
a nectar that fills the soul with warmth, soothes the mind’s edges gently. Yes I slept. I had to cheat slightly, I used an oil burner near the bed with some rose oil in. Did the trick fantastically, dropped off after about 15 minutes. Did remember to blow the candle out before I went over as well. Bonus. Don’t ask me why, I don’t like the thought of sleeping pills, never have.
I notice google have launched their Web Design client today. You get 100MB of space with it too. I bet anything they start offering Domains and proper hosting within 6 months. Makes a lot of sense for them I reckon. If they build a lot of the “nasty” bits of organising domains and the like into a nice easy google-style interface, they could get a lot of business. Add in your Google Adsense, your blog, etc into one big manageable package, and you are really getting a lot of stuff bundled together.
In fact, one of the things that annoys me most about Google at the moment is that I do use a lot of their services, but it doesn’t seem linked up enough yet. I should login once, then flip between the services using handy links. Just doesn’t work like that though.
Just not sleeping since I gave up. Very spaced out and tired at the moment, but can’t get to sleep at all. On the upside have now watched the first four episodes of 24, which are cracking nonsense 🙂
which I think is an improvement. Was up at 4am watching 24 mind, not the best viewing for that time, but still good. Starting to really get myself back now, am through the worst of the cold turkey thing it would seem. Good. I reckon by the weekend, I’ll have the sleeping back, and be starting to properly hack up some grot from my lungs. Am expecting a cold/massive cough to arrive any day soon.
then I have do shut up about it for a bit. What is really strange is that everything lasts so long now. Time has actually slowed down for me, which is such a strange reaction to not having nicotine that I can’t quite understand it. I feel like utter crap, but this is worth doing. Worth doing a hell of a lot.
No patches either, decided to give it a go without. I have them to hand, in case I find I need them, but I want to try just to resist smoking completely. Thus far, I am irritable, moody, wired, and also getting ringing in my ears. I’m worried about sleeping soon, because I have had bad experience of that with previous attempts. However, I shall take my patches to bed, and slap one on if I am struggling. Mrsfb has been a bloody star today, put up with me being like this, and fussed over me in a nice way that has helped chill me out a lot. Early days yet, or day even, but overall, despite feeling very weird, I don’t actually feel like I would kill for a ciggie. Just yet…
I have had a two day week, following a few days off for R&R, which mainly involved getting some stuff sorted out in and around the house, and online, and also watching quite large amounts of the Winter Olympics. Britain won its first medal of the games, a silver in the Skeleton Bob. I was very impressed, partly because I was starting to get the impression we might not win anything. I am still not convinced we will medal in the curling, although obviously I hope so.
Off to see Coldcut tonight, which should be good fun.
Oh and thank you all for your birthday wishes 🙂
I’ve decided to try giving up smoking on Saturday. Hitting the patches.
Arrgghhhhhhh.
Happy birthday to me! I would love to regale you with a moment of wisdom from my 34 years on the planet. Hmmmmm, let me see:
You got to know when to hold ’em,
Know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and
know when to run.
If I am quick, do you think I can get away with pretending that was me? I reckon, I don’t think anyone else noticed.
My main present was a really nice pair of walking boots, which will encourage me onto greater feats (feets?) of walking and general getting my arse off the sofa a bit more.
I’m actually quite happy to be 34 now I think about it, I could ideally do with having my waistline from the December of my first year at college, but other than that, I think this is about as good as I have got thus far. Life is pretty good. I may check the hairline tonight mind.
