1 Broke Boy

I can hear the bin men outside. They seem to have started coming earlier again. They’ve been going through an awkward afternoon-phase recently, which has made it tricky to time when to take my rubbish down.

Yup, it’s all go here!

Yesterday I went to see the nurse for a diabetes review. I’ve been taking my blood pressure with a self-bought machine, and it turns out my readings are high, so that’s another load of medication I’m going to have to take. I did stop taking my antidepressants two months ago, so I guess this balances things out. Then again, I’m also going to have to take double my diabetes meds anyway, so that’s actually upped it. I dunno. I’m not good at maths. Regardless, I’m going to have to go back in two weeks for more blood tests. Sigh. Why can’t I just slip into a nice coma like all good-hearted diabetics?!

I’m having to do a lot of work for an apathetic, unemployed, cries-when-he-does-housework homo.

Did I say “Life sucks”? Well, I mean to.

Life sucks.

Oh, there were two creepy drug addict-looking dudes hanging outside my building when I got home. They surrounded me as I got to my door, which made me think I was about to be mugged. But I didn’t. Maybe it was because I kept an eye on them both, which put them off. Anyway, I felt rather upset when I finally got back up to my flat. Having reams of bad news and THEN nearly getting mugged doesn’t tend to brighten your day. At least I had a freshly stocked fridge to gorge on.

I did VERY well not to hit the booze.

I’ve been listening to a bit of metal this week. It’s one of my least favourite genres, but every now and then I’ll give it a go. I seem to enjoy Swedish power metal, which tends to have fantasy and/or historical themes to the lyrics and melodies. That’s more up my street. There definitely needs to be more sci-fi rock out there, preferably that isn’t prog. Prog is basically rock with all the fun taken out. Metal is with TOO MUCH fun.

I want lo-fi indie sci-fi rock and I want it now.

I’m back in a major creative slump, as often happens. I’m not playing guitar much and zero writing is happening. I’m just passively experiencing culture. I’ve started on the 2 Broke Girls boxset, which is awesome. It’s VERY camp, which is what I was hoping for. Kat Dennings is officially my new favourite person. I hope she’s like her character in real life. Now that’s my kinda woman!

I’m so lonely.

Well, that’s all, folks. I’ll let you know when motivation orbits back round to my hemisphere. I’ll also try to keep the health chatter to a minimum next time, as I’m aware it doesn’t make for particularly riveting content (I nearly fell asleep proof reading this).

Do stay in touch, darlings.

Toodles!
