Micturition syncope
It seems that one of the less known causes of someone passing out is urination. This I discovered today after a visit to the local accident and emergency to fix my nose because I fell flat on my face in the toilet.

Before:
(Pardon the poor quality of the photo on account of a head injury)

After:

Suggestions for why Elliott passed out...

The only good scene in this film -

I don't think it's been defined in the dictionary yet. Neither have a lot of other words I use in my daily vocabulary. I'll write a translation pamphlet before christmas to avoid any confusion.

And holy nose injury batman! I had a similar incident happen last fall. Got trashed, went to vomit, somehow slid past the toilet and landed forhead first onto the rim of the bathtub. At least these things make for nice stories, eh? kiss

You're lucky it was just a jewelry item really. I almost fractured my skull on that thing.
And as for good luck charms, sadly i'm a believe too. I've carried a St. Chritopher around for years, since my last bad car wreck. Haven't been injured in an accident since. And actually got a nice settlement from someone hitting my car in a parking lot last year. smile

Eee! I have a name badge and nearly have my airside pass-- I'm almost a fully fledged (temporary) member of staff! biggrin

The weirdest thing is that hardly any members of the public have spoken to me when I've been in my uniform, but as soon as I put my badge on today, people started asking me all kinds of things, all of which had nothing...

That's the Market St. Waffle House you're talking about!! When I worked at WH I worked at the one on the other side of town, but I've worked at that one before and I actually ate there the other night! It's not too far from my house actually!
volatile:
That's so crazy!! Yea, It's like 5 minutes to UNCW from my house, if that much. Where did you end up finding a room at? Please don't say Motel 6.. haha

So the Jazz Festival job was pretty good. I got one lump of money for helping organise it and another for running the PA for it. In theory I should be loaded now, but somehow I'm not. This may be in no small part because Mrs. Lego came over and that girl costs mah-oney... We hung out in London for a long weekend and then...

Eesh, it's been a while since I updated. Again.

Officially I'm still unemployed. Unofficially, I've been working for a recording studio/ publishing company and organising a jazz festival. It's brought in a few pennies here and there too, which is nice.
Mrs. Lego is coming over on Friday for about 3 weeks. We're hanging out in London for a long weekend, then heading off to...

Seeing jazz live is always amazing. Some of my favorite concerts have been Jazz shows.

Claims to be gay? Everyone has bisexual tendencies every now and then haha.

I was given a ticket to see a band I'd never heard before last night-- the Pipettes.
They owe a lot to Motown, the Shangrilas, etc., both in their music and in their being a girlie trio with dance moves, but their band also has a punk/ska edge. Pretty cool. Honestly, I probably wouldn't listen to the CD (taking a glance at my burgeoning collection,...

I'll have to check out the Pipettes, they sound cool.

Yeah I think being an office receptionist is much better than a janitor hehe.

Yea, spring break is a terrible terrible time. John Travolta spent a lot of time here while he was filming Domestic Disturbance here. While they were filming it, Vince Vaughn and Steve Buscemi got into a crucial bar fight at my bar (firebelly) and Buscemi got stabbed in the neck. There's a lot of movies and stuff filmed here and its cool sometimes except when they have half of downtown closed off and I have to go to school.

Oh ya.. and I loooove the phone.. lol

I'm back.

NC was great. Mrs. Lego picked me up from the airport looking The Shit. I could feel just about everyone in the room turn to look at her as she came to meet me. It probably reveals some deep insecurity about me, but it felt pretty damn good. After taking me home to drop off my bags and Get Settled, she took me...

Can a person spray too much fly spray in one go?
There's been this massive black fly flying around the house really fast, all day, without any breaks. Even though it's gone midnight, I finally gave up giving it second chances and got out the Raid. Trouble was it was moving so fast I could never get it! I practically ended up fumigating the room...

So after I got sacked, I signed up with an agency and got a job on the spot. Online research for a publishing company, looking up names and addresses of people who might like to be harrassed into buying their magazines or advertising in them. Nice. Fortunately, I only had to do it for 4 days.

I now don't have any time to find another...

The idea to move to NC is gathering weight.
I currently have no money and I'm kinda stuck in London for the time being, but the idea is to get a (new) job, get some money and then by the time I have enough to live in NC for a few months, I should have dispensed with my commitments in London. Mrs. Lego seems happy...

Enough of that sordidness.
I'll admit I freaked out last week. That last post was actually somewhat restrained, too. I was in full-freak when I started it, but I calmed down as I wrote it and edited it a bit.
Mrs. Lego had minor surgery on Friday and she should be back to normal in a couple of weeks. She also explained some of the...

I feel like I've fucked up.

So Mrs. Lego and I hooked up about 3 years ago. I didn't really know anything about her except she was American and I'd never made out with an American before. Hey, that sounds shallow, but I was 22 and drunk. We hooked up and the more I found out about her, the more I liked her. Less shallow....

I can hardly believe it's been 2 weeks since I was in NC. Less than that, in fact. A watched pot never boils, I suppose.

Looks like my job is FINALLY going to finish at the end of this month, about 9 months after I thought it would finish. I'm quite looking forward to finishing and then starting to look for something else. Besides anything...
