I got a new wallet today. Very long overdue, and I'm very pleased with my new wallet. It's more of a purse then a wallet. Whatever, I like it.

Anyway, as I was cleaning out my old wallet to transfer everything I need into my new purse, I found this article folded up in the depths of my wallet.

"A Chinese man has had the same pet snail for 11 years - and takes it for walks. Yang Jinsen has now had his pet for twice the normal life span of a snail. Jinsen, of Dongwan, found the snail when he was 14 and the snail the size of a coin. Now, he's a married man and the snail fills the palm of his hand. "I built a small home for it in the yard, and fed it water and soil," he said. "On weekends, I would take it walking in the fields."

I think that is pretty amazing. When I was younger, I used to collect all the snails from the vegie garden and put them in old ice-cream containers, with rocks and grass. The ice-cream containers would always be empty by the next morning. Owning the same snail for 11 years is a pretty amazing achievement.

Im trading my mother in for another one. One who is more technologically advanced. My mum has a mobile phone. She never uses it. I needed to talk to her today, to ask her a question. I couldn't, as she was not at home, and her mobile phone NEVER leaves the house. No matter how many times I ask her to use it, she won't. It really pisses me off. Sometimes I need to talk to her, and the only way to do that, sometimes, is via mobile phones. I hate her.

Vampire Books

I was browsing the bookstore yesterday, and was astounded by the amount of vampire novels there were. And not just vampire novels, but series of vampire novels. It seems as though the Twilight series has created some sort sudden influx of everyone releasing vampire novels and series, thinking they will have the same amount of fame and talk about it. To be honest, none of them looked that intriguing. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but there were a few that had the similar covers at the books in the Twilight series. Blatant ripoffs like that are not going to make me purchase your book. Im not going to froth over them. I'm not going to borrow them from the library and read them. I'm going to sit back, and read books that aren't obviously trying to become as big as Twilight.

Sure, it was a good book. It started getting a little old and tedious after the second book, and Bella is one character who I wish never existed. She is extremely boring, and it's quite obvious she does not know how to live a life as an independent person. It comes across even worse in the movie. Actually, the movie was not even that great. I admit, I only watched it to perve on Robert Pattinson. The acting wasn't that great, but I have seen much worse movies. And yes, I have plans on purchasing it on dvd (once it's much cheaper), and I also have plans on seeing the other movies in the series.

I am reading another vampire novel at the moment. But it is far from being anything like Twilight, and its other ripoffs.

Let The Right One In, by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Im not even halfway through the book, but Im enjoying it much more then all four Twilight books put together. This has also been made into a movie, which I am keen to see. I will deffinatly be getting his other book Handling The Undead. (He does have other books, but they have not yet been translated from Swedish to English.)

Rehabilitation/Physiotherapy

Pretty sure it's my last session of physiotherapy tomorrow. Which kinda sucks for me, as my leg is still not 100% better. And I would like for my leg to be pretty much better. Hopefully I can get more sessions??? That would be nice, but it's not likely. NRMA are faggs. They do sweet fuck all. Here's hoping they pay for my pilates lessons. As that can help my leg get better.

Do not intend of having a lifetime of painkillers and shots of anesthesia in my hip.

Might start swimming again next week if tomorrow is my last day of physio. Heated pools = win.

screw you

tonsils!!!

someone take them out, please.
