we got up yesterday morning to do the shopping. mine was quick and easy; we found a great pair of (skinny?!) dress pants and then a perfect pair of chinos. the former we took later to a chinese tailor, who laughed at the trousers before assuring me that there should be "linkles" above the shoe if i don't want everybody to make fun of my socks. at the fitting rooms my aunt kept asking me what *i* thought of my new clothes... as if my opinion counts!
i then followed my aunt and pg who were looking at coats. i found a seat (why are they so hard to find in stores here?) and paid the price for forgetting my kindle at home by reading lots of facebook and twitter posts that i'd have otherwise ignored.
by the time we left the shops pg and i were *hungry*. that's not a good state to hit the supermarket in. we went past a famous bakery to pick up delicious focaccia bread, and then got dropped off at the tailors. *then* we went to the indian vegetable market (they play awesome traditional indian music non-stop, which is really nice, and as we left an "om namaha shiva" mantra came on that got stuck in my head), and only after that did we finally return home, famished.
we both ate too much focaccia, and i had an apple after that, then some sour worms, then a packet of doritos - i was going to nap after lunch anyway, but now i *had* to... and i woke up with a bellyache...
in the evening i discovered that pg had never seen spirited away.. ZOMG not cool!!! so we watched it. it's such a big, detailed movie - how is it that i've seen it so many times and yet it's still so wonderfully surprising? it's magic.
we slept a lot, and although the day is cold and rainy we're considering milling around snowdon to see if it suits us.
on food and climate change : global warming + irresponsible food policies = disaster. politicians the world over need to be a bit more considerate.
an israeli company has developed tech to recycle sewerage. very cool.
autism? they have apps for that! sounds like replacement parenting, too... we must be heading into the diamond age.
i think i'm gonna eat some worms. this is intriguing to say the least, and definitely worth considering. the perfect nutritional value at the lowest cost.

dodgy email warnig: myzamana isn't safe. i didn't click it 'cause it didn't look interesting (and i didn't recognize any of my "friends"), but who knows?
pretending to be gay for a year? self-made man was enlightening, i'm sure this is too.
oh god why @worms
