I Wondered If I'd Ever See Another Highway
In the second half of last week I did a Senior First Aid course.
Scenario: There is a body on the floor, a pool of blood surrounding them. What do you do?
So apparently your first action shouldn't be dust off all your fingerprints, dispose of the murder weapon and get the first flight to the Bahamas.
It was reasonably good fun, and I am so keen to resuscitate someone, or treat a snake bite, or put a sling on a broken arm, or treat someone for hypothermia (which can involve a bit of sleeping bag snuggle action. There is a pick-up line just waiting to happen right there). Diabetics have easily the best first aid action - lollies or anything sugary. And none of that artificially sweetened stuff. Though it does kind of make "helps the medicine go down" redundant, and I don't like anyone fucking with Mary Poppins. And now I'm seeing Julie Andrews in a whole new light.
I really like feta cheese. All kinds of cheese are great actually, but feta is ny current favourite. A couple of weeks ago it was parmesan, and everything had parmesan in, but lately it has all been about feta. My life tends to run in themes a little - this month I have been cutting myself quite frequently, april was about hitting things, while march saw burns come into vogue. Today I bit my tongue, which I hope is not a sneak preview of what June has to offer.
June is generally a good month for me, namely because it is my birthday (June 25). Tomorrow is June, tomorrow is Winter. I'm quite excited about Winter. I'm getting enthused about reading again too, like properly enthused. I've been having a casual affair with books of late, picking one up when I feel like a bit of late night action in my bedroom, but now I'm ready to get into something a little more serious.
Talking about intimate relations, my car and I doing some serious bonding of late. It is getting on in years and doesn't like starting on cold mornings. So to make sure it goes I have to tuck it in each night by putting a blanket over the engine, and in the mornings I massage its' cables and give the spark plugs a bit of a wriggle.
I am going to buy a digital camera soon which is highly exciting. I've done a fair amount of research but now I'm a little hesitant about choosing one as there are so many cameras, and what if i make a wrong choice? In these kind of situations, where there are lots of things to choose from, I tend to go on some kind of good feeling about a particular one. I like to think that this feeling is like a higher level of processing, a subconscious decision pulling all the things I've learnt together, giving all the products a rating, and releasing a few endorphins when I look at what it has chosen to be the best one. But I think, thanks to years of being exposed to advertising, it has more to do with which one looks the coolest.
I have a good feeling about June, like a "Something good is going to happen to you" (like in Gerling's 'Enter Space Capsule') feeling. I can't wait for Love is My Velocity on Sunday, I've really missed Djing. I'm enthused about life, which is kind of an unusual feeling. Maybe it's the change of season, maybe it's the poison I've been drinking so I can put my training into practice (induce vomiting if the substance isn't corrosive, drink milk or water if it is. And call the friendly people at the Poison Information Centre), but I'm feeling pretty darn good.
I have to make a phone call now.
