Another day since ‘the incident’ as I have been mentally calling it. Everytime I close my eyes I see Lu fitting which isn’t so crash hot and I spend about half my day worrying that she’s alright. She decided to go to work yesterday and I only called like 5 times in the day to make sure she was okay. Her dad called last night from Hong Kong because I’d left a message for him the other night. I know she likes to hear from him – It’d be nice if he lived closer but can’t have everything I guess. I think he’s still coming to visit around Easter so that’ll be nice. It’d be good to take him out in a city where it doesn’t cost ten million dollars to have dinner – unlike HK.

So I started taking some steps to make sure if another hypo that bad happened again I’d be better prepared. I think I’ve persuaded Lu to wear her MediAlert bracelet (which she sees as untrendy and distinctly unhip). Plus her ex-boyfriend Kristan is coming up to Sydney and staying with us for a few days and I might get him and me to gang up on her about a few things. He can be terribly righteous when required! I’ve also enrolled in a St John’s Ambulance course that teaches CPR and all that. I’ve already done a couple of over the years but it’s probably worth a refresh. We’re also going to acquire some glucagon syringes so I can inject her in the event of another hypo. We’ll have to see how we go…

At least one piece of good news! Just acquired a scanner so previously forlorn pages without pictures should soon have pictures! Just got to take some pictures of my tats and Lu’s tats to add to the page. Just comtemplating a new tattoo as well. I found a great website with some very nice celtic stuff that I may adapt. Just got find someone who I feel comfortable with sticking a needle into my skin. I wouldn’t use the last two places I went to – one was full of scary and doped up rednecks and the other was home to a tattooist with the shakes. I’ve also moved to a new city since the previous ones. I’ve heard about a few good places – Inner Vision in Surry Hills and a rocker-billy place in Penrith. Inner Vision is close to work and would make the visit(s) easier but I’ve heard good things about the place in Penrith. For position I am thinking of my lower neck between my shoulder blades or on my hands but a lot of tattooists don’t do hands. I’ve got a mate, Corey, who has rings tattooed on his fingers but a Maori guy did those in New Zealand and they are a lot more relaxed around where they tattoo.

Also Yahoo listed me. That’s pretty cool! I’ve been listed in their new personal homepages section. Yea me. *lol*

Listening to: The Whitlams – Love this City (which I am not 100% in the mood for but I couldn’t find anything else I liked)

Found an interesting blog whilst roaming around called Rane. I quite enjoying reading people’s blogs and this girl has just moved to the UK to study for a while. Her observations about her stay make interesting reading and she’s done a bit of writing that I am reading. Everytime I go to Blogger I click on one of the recently updated blogs and have a read. It’s sort of fun reading a random selection of someone’s life. Which I suppose is the attraction of the service.

Went to see my GP the other day to get some moles looked at. Fucking smug little prick asked me to take off my shirt, looked for about a minute at my back and chest and then said “You look fine.” I was like “Oh yeah? In a minute you can tell if I don’t have any skin cancers?” So time to find a new GP and consider if I do have any skin cancers whether I sue the other one for every penny he’s got. Not likely I admit – litigation is such an American concept. Australian courts just don’t grant the same level of damages as American ones. Overall still have the skin thing hanging over me until I can find a more receptive GP.

Lu and my sister are going roller skating tonight at what must be one of the last rolling skating rinks left in Sydney. Unlike bowling alleys, that seemingly lurk in the deep dark Western suburbs forever, rolling skating rinks are more like ‘drive in’ cinemas and are getting fewer and fewer in number. I think there’s one ‘drive in’ left in Sydney. I wonder if anyone in 1970 considered that they’d all be gone in thirty years. I wonder if some kind of video-on-demand service via cable or the like will kill video stores and potentially cinemas. I are fairly sure video stores are dead if video-on-demand comes out. If it’s a comparable price then no one will want to go out and hope the video they want is in when they can just order the same from a menu in the comfort of their own home. I am not so sure about cinemas but I’m prejudiced against them. I like the larger screen and a good sound system but overall I don’t like the cinema. It’s expensive (especially the bloody crap food) and I hate crowds with a passion most people reserve for spinach and Ricky Martin. So I’m not fussed if I can order a ‘new’ film via a decent home theatre system rather than go to the cinema. I suppose it is a bit of a expedition for some families to go to the cinema but you just end up seeing some terrible kids movie, though they seem to getting better at making movies on multiple levels so kids and adults can enjoy them, Shrek and Monsters Inc for example.

Enough for the day… Adios.
