still slow and unsteady

the muscle relaxants kick ass - i slept beautifully this morning. all two or three hours that i slept, of course.

i woke up at cock-fart to take my second mom to the hospital, and had absolutely no idea that the next time i'd see her would be five hours later. i spent most of that time either trying to sleep in the parking lot by the clinic, or milling about the waterfront with watery eyes and a harsh hangover. i saw my niece, and joined her and her incredibly sexy portuguese co-worker for a cigarette break (sans cigarette, of course).

i did manage to organize my overalls and gumboots for the party, though. it's quality stuff and not too expensive. it would've been nice had i not taken a couple of wrong turns in paarden island.

i tried unsuccessfully to nap when we got home, which turned into staring into space and not quite following whatever was on the telly. i had to burn a couple of audio cds for the car from the music on my ipod... itunes doesn't make it impossible to do that - it just makes it frustratingly inconvenient.

around 5pm i went shopping, and after an amusing conversation with my aunt i went over to shadowslight's, where we watched sex and breakfast, a frighteningly awkward movie with unpredictable and unsatisfying plots and a couple of characters that simply aren't quite believable.

for instance - macaulay culkin in a sex scene just doesn't fit, and the character ellis cannot possibly be a human male.

we played a quick game of munchkin (+- 3 / 4 hours) in which i developed into a half-breed dark orc / gnome bard with a really impressive title ("harplord"). we had a family thing going as there was a gnome and a dark orc in play - we decided that the dark orc had to have been the female to account for the size of the child.
