they’re a bit stretchy

Yesterday my dad and i visited the RAF museum in Hendon. It was cool and also free, which we weren’t expecting. We didn’t get to check out the Battle of Britain section, which was in a separate giant building, because it was getting late and my dad’s insides started making alarming noises (seriously, it appears to be a normal part of the craziness going on with his intestines, but you don’t expect to hear nureek, squeelookle and rutunga outside of Red Dwarf, let alone emanating from someone’s stomach).
Saw many many planes. Some of which were bigger than I expected. I mean, logically yeah, planes are generally huge and especially ones that carry bombs to completely own dams, power stations and the like. Usually though, they’re on tv or actually flying and therefore look tiny and you have no real perspective on how big something is.
Also, the plane are very dusty. Though it’s not like you can send someone up to ponce about on a wing with a feather duster I guess.
Today, I redyed my hair to try and deal with the bit at the front that was bleached and permanent dye washes out of. Can’t tell if it’s worked yet because there are no mirrors in my room.

What else? Hmm. There was something, but I can’t remember now.

Oh wait. Yeah. I have 4 Vox invites if anyone still doesn’t have an account and wants one.

I am starting to get excited about seeing AFI. In like.. 5 weeks. Heh.

QotD: Less Stress, Please


What is your favorite way to relieve stress?

Mindless interwebbing. Also, icon making, reading, sitting in the bath (with or without water), sleeping, eating, actually doing something about the thing I'm stressed about and window shopping.

 

Usually, stuff to either distract me from what I'm stressed about, or something to tackle it head on. I do not however, do the inbetween thing of talking about what's stressing me, because that just gets me more stressed about it. Which makes sense. For me, at least.

Crank

I have got to see this film. Not only does it have one of my favourite action movie stars in it, it looks pretty cool and funny too. Well, funny between all the shooting, car chases and blowing things up and such. 😀

Jason Statham seems to have been pigeonholed into the action star kind of role, but I think he’s been in some other less modern-day action hero type roles, which I guess I’ll have to track down and watch. It’d be cool to see him given the oppotunity to do something a little different though.

Things that annoy me part 2343
1. Googling yourself to find that there is yet another person with the same name as you
2. Already knowing about the person 5 years younger than you, living in the same town, born in the same hospital with the same bloody name as you
3. Not appearing top of the search results. (at least the top result is dead)
4. Suspecting that there are actually two newly web-active people in america with your name.

Pah. I guess I’ll have to do something about this to ensure that anyone actually looking for me, won’t get the wrong me. Especially since one of the other mes lives in the same town.
