I've now watched all of
the "Game of Thrones" episodes on the Sky-box. The
thing doesn't have season four yet. I shall have to find something
else to watch before work. So in the meantime today I roughed it with
more "Family Guy" as "Furry Face TM"
helped me scoff my brekkie toast.
The
morning's news boiled my piss. Teenaged girls have been raped
and hung in India because ignorant and superstitious locals
disapprove of anyone who doesn't subscribe wholeheartedly to their
variety of barbaric morality. The news went on to say that this sort
of thing goes on all the time.
And
France
faces civil unrest from a vocal minority who didn't like the
results of last week's elections. I can't say that I was overly
impressed with the results of last week's elections, but this is the
main drawback with democracy; namely that reasonable and educated
people have to put up with the consequences of the misguided
decisions of the stupid, ignorant and misguided.
Both these articles of
news made me think. As a child I had no idea of what the future would
hold. But I was pretty sure that it wouldn't be this sort of thing. I
expected so much more. Is humanity never going to improve?
And so to work. I did my
bit for a while. When I had a minute I phoned the G.P. to whinge
about the delays to my referral to an E.N.T. specialist; having my
right nostril feeling as though it has a golf ball stuffed up it is
rather painful. The G.P. was clearly sick of the sound of my
whinging, and they suggested I phoned the E.N.T. specialist myself.
So I did. After a little judicious whinging I found myself seeing the
specialist a couple of hours later.
The specialist confirmed
wht I've been saying for some months; I've got a huge nasal polyp
blocking the insides of my right nostril. It needs to be surgically
removed, but before I go under the knife I need to have a scan to see
if the polyp is straight-forward, or if it has entwined itself round
my right eye, brain, and/or other assorted bits of my head. It's all
quite exciting really.
I met Jimbo and Stevey
for McTea, and then it was on to astro club. A demonstration of the
latest space-simulator software; Stevey gave a planetarium show, and
there was even telescopes involved...
