The Black Star

A blog dedicated to the series of unfortunate events that always happen around me. Not so much unfortunate, more like funny.. but unfortunate sounds better.

Jailbreak

So I don't think there's much to tell. I'm really becoming a boring person, I guess. But what do you expect when you don't go out for ages in order to keep in good health? Bloody hell, something's got to be done. In fact, I've gone as far as to thinking about staying in my flat until the temperature goes up to around 7 degrees. It's just been bloody freezing as of late--not reaching negatives, but very strong winds and the rain hasn't helped much. Yes, the weather is turning on me, but there could be a plus for this. If weather reports are to be believed (which they're not, but for the sake of this entry let's say they're somewhat reliable) then tomorrow I'll experience my first snowy day. It has snowed on one previous occassion, but it was really light snow, so it doesn't really count. If it were to snow then I would definitely go out. Like James said, it might be colder, but you won't notice because you'll be amused by the snow and all... so yeah, I'm looking forward to that. But having said that, odds are that I won't get my white day tomorrow.

The other day I made some pancakes. I put some flour on a bowl, an egg, and then incrementally added milk and mixed. Not much to it. But something didn't look right, so I kept on adding milk, more and more... and more (perhaps I put too much flour to start with?) and I finally stopped when the bowl was virtually full. Hmm. Well, I still cook them and eat them and they taste well nice. The first seven, anyway... after that I felt like I was killing myself. Ryan gave me a hand and had the remaining three pancakes (yes, I made 10 bloody pancakes... who does that!?). It's safe to say that I won't be eating pancakes anytme soon... but at least I know I can make them now. The only problem is that I won't be able to make them in the morning (as I had planned) because of the amount of work and effort (and time) they require. So now I really have nothing to eat for breakfast. Oh, I don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but I'm pretty certain I've made myself semi lactose intolerant. How? By eating cereal every morning from September to December. What? The term "semi lactose intolerant" means that my stomach gets upset when I drink milk, to the point where I get excessive gasses... but nothing happens when I have other dairly products (cheese has no effect on me, for example). Odd, I know, but somebody had to be the first one, right?

On the plus side, I'm almost sure that I'll be watching Thin Lizzy later this month. I've already found people to go with (James and Steve were both very keen on the idea, Ryan didn't seem very convinced) and it's just a matter of buying the tickets. I know, that's a huge part of it, but in theory there are still tickets available according the the website. If i weren't so stingy I'd buy them online, but not only do they have a booking fee of 3 pounds, but they also have a handling fee of 5 odd quid and then 2 more pounds for something else. That's 50% of the ticket's face value! So I'll walk over to the venue on Wednesday and get them myself for the face value. Hey, you know you'd do the same!

you have DEFINED lactose intolerance, my friend. milk contains high levels of lactose (giving you gases), while cheese has low levels of lactose (causing no perceivable effect)... welcome aboard.
