Perous Secret Diary - Keep Out: March 08, 2006

at least someones having some fun

oops...
i've inadvertedly, completely filled the 'new/recent' section FULL of 'underworld' shots.
which isn't a bad thing in itself, just you will find it harder to locate the hundreds of back-filled personal pictures i posted up before them.
there's quite a lot of 1998 and 1999 now online which previously was a big empty (drug) hole.
amazing how pictures help to fill in the gaps.

*fanfare* there's over 5000 pictures online here now.
hopefully it's ALL quality and not just quantity...if i put everything online it would be WAY more silly than it already is.

so i reckon i've shot underworld more than i've shot anyone else now (except my family).
there's two underworld sections: 1 is just the japanese live shows from last year.

today i went to the doctors and registered for the first time in many years.
for the last two nights i've had trouble sleeping due to 'respiratory problems': wheezing/ gurling in my chest.
i haven't got a cold: just gurgling bronchial tubes: nice.

and i'm paranoid about such problems after a friend of mine died of pneumonia.
she was in her early thirties: she'd been working crazy hard on a fashion collection, got a cold went to see doctor who said you've got pneumonia and she died two days later in hospital.

anyway, after seeing the doctor today and amusing myself at the woman screaming in the nurse's room nextdoor, i had to see the nurse myself for a check-in, check up.

i started the conversation with 'please don't hurt me, like you did that last lady...'

nurse: 'how much exercise would you say you undertake a week?'
me: 'ur, i guess that depends what you define as exercise? i have a very busy life: burn a lot of calories'
nurse: 'how much cardiovascular excersise to you deliberately undertake each week: once, twice, more or...never?'
me: 'ur...never'
nurse gives disapproving look and puts a heavy black circle round the 'wrong' box on my form.

nurse: 'do you smoke?'
me proudly: 'nope!'
nurse: 'did you used to smoke?'
me slightly deflated: 'ur...yes.'
nurse: 'how much did you used to smoke?'
me more deflated: 'ur...60 a day.'
nurse puts another black circle in a box.

nurse 'how many units of alcohol do you consume a week?'
me: 'oh, not much...ur...maybe one or two cans of cider a day?'
nurse looking concerned: 'EVERYDAY?'
me: 'ur...yes...but it's made from apples.'
nurse: 'so is apple juice...you need to stop drinking as much: you're at the high end limit of what is considered sensible'.

today i haven't drunk any of my favourite canned liquid.
:(
i am finding this VERY, VERY difficult.
i'm sure i'm not an alcoholic: i don't drink to get drunk: i don't THINK (didn't think?) i am dependant on cider, but my friend cider is very dependable.
i think drinking cider (all day and into the night) might just be a hard habit to break.
but i did go from smoking 60 cigarettes a day to none overnight by making the decision that i would.
never really considered cider to be bad for me.

deliberately didn't watch that documentary on tv that showed you how you can roughly predict your life expectancy (excluding accidents) based on your diet, family history, exercise undertaken etc...
i'd rather not know.
keep things a little spontaneous eh?

apart from that, another long day in the office retouching.

*UPDATE* ok, i changed my mind: i took the test, they reckon providing i don't total myself on a motorbike etc. etc... i could keep going till i'm 81.4 years old.

**UPDATE 2** if underworld live pictures aren't your immediate bag, got to page 10 of the recent section and then hit next...
