Things from last week
Oct. 20th, 2008 10:55 pmSo.
I spent a good part of last week off work sick, with period pains, and it's unfortunate that came just before the job finished. I went to the doctor and picked up some methanoic acid, although apparently Ibuprofen (which I assumed had pretty much the same effect as paracetamol) might have been a first place to start. But I have it now, so I'll see how things go next month.
I was unemployed for a whole day today. And slept in and didn't have a shower till the middle of the day. Which was fairly fitting.
I don't actually mind the prospect of a week off, except for the fact I won't be getting paid and don't have much money I need to go to the bank some time this week and sort out the transfer of my account from a Student account. Which they seem to have now spotted.
Yesterday, I made a bit of a step away from Tesco's, after a year or two of saying I wasn't going to shop there anymore. It turns out they're selling some shark fin products in their Thailand stores, and that struck me as a reason to finally boycott them. The problem is, the next nearest big supermarket is Sainsbury's, which is on a road parallel to mine, and there are no direct buses to it from my road. So it's a bit of a walk, or a matter of bus-hopping. But I did it yesterday, so we'll see how it goes. I haven't decided if it's actually more expensive at Sainsbury's or not.
Incidentally, Lush are now doing Shark Fin Soap (not made of sharks' fins), a portion of whose profits go to the Sea Shepherd organisation, which are now involved with shark conservation apparently. If anyone's interested in funding shark conservation while buying toiletries. It smells nice too. Lemongrass, I think.

In other news:
- I really love the new Eastenders advert. Although that could be because of Stacey in a maid's outfit.
- I love Toby De Silva. So much. He is BEAUTIFUL.
- You can buy In Deep DVDs at some Australian website. Who knew?
