Yoghurt
I was once told that men don’t form the necessary connections in their brain that encourage them to behave sensibly (well sensible for a man) until our mid-twenties. It apparently goes hand-in-hand with the thing that means adolescent males are more likely to stay up later and sleep in longer due to some ancient requirement for the healthy, strong men of the pack to be on guard for predators at night.
I don’t know how true this all actually is but I do know that I’ve started buying yoghurt. I’m 26 years old and I have now decided that instead of buying chocolate or ice cream or other sweet type foods I shall instead buy Yoghurts.
Buggered if I know why. There is after all nothing wrong with yoghurt. It’s just I’d rather have well… something else.
Other evidence: For the first time since I left home I have had an eye-test. There’s nothing particularly wrong with my eyes (well nothing anybody can fix) but it suddenly seemed like I should get them checked “Just to be sure” (I’m a little long-sighted in one eye apparently but I don’t need glasses. Yay I guess).
I’ve made the effort to register with a doctor. My approach in the past has always been to just go to the walk-in centre if something goes wrong. Now I actually have a GP.
It’s all just so unlike me.
Today I cleaned the carpet in my flat.
Anyway what else have I done?
I bought some Beatsteaks CDs from the Hut. Smack Smash and Kanonen Auf Spatzen. The Beatsteaks left a huge impression on me when I say them live at the Leeds festival in ‘99 however it’s been hard to follow them as while they appear to be big in Germany it’s incredibly difficult to find their albums here in blighty. They are probably one of the only punk bands I still listen to regularly (also they are my most listened to band on Last FM however I think that’s because it’s summer. When Winter rolls around the post-rock will start to prevail).
Started a second blog for my Second Life stuff. You’ll see things pop-up on here every now and again but I felt I should keep the majority of that stuff separate since people visiting here probably don’t care about that stuff and vice-versa.
Other than that things have been quiet. Here’s hoping for more thunderstorms though!
