Random entry. Random entry. Everybody loves a random entry...
This morning, I bolted awake at about 5 am, even though I only got to sleep at 1 am. Couldn't get back to sleep. I think the bloody birds roused me. My kingdom for a mini-gun.
Anyway, somehow Eva woke up as well, and I have this vague memory of having a conversation/argument with her about carrying wallets. She'd dropped money before she went food shopping and had to return some items to shelves for the umpteenth time. Anyway, it went something like this:
Shayne: Why didn't you take your wallet with you? I always have my wallet with me.
Eva: I can't carry it with me.
Shayne: That's because it's a stupid women's wallet, all big and chunky. I've got a man's wallet, far superior to yours.
Eva: Yeah, a weak, thin and spindly wallet.
Shayne: And yet I manage to fit my entire life in there....hang on...
Eva: *too busy giggling and guffawing to reply.*
Shayne: Ah shuddup.

I walk to work every morning via a small park where North Melbourne winos generally hang out. In the mornings they're not there, but I usually see this old Chinese lady doing Tai Chi. At least, sometimes it looks like Tai Chi. Other times it's like she's exercising but doesn't really know how to do it. Sometimes she combines them. I've seen her do a typical Tai Chi movement, graceful and swan-like, and then proceed to "wax on; wax off" while she's stretched out in her swan-like pose. Very strange. This morning she appeared to be shoving an imaginary pole up her backside. I won't go into details. It was very disturbing. Maybe someone who's more of an expert in Tai Chi can tell me if she's just being very odd or if it is Tai Chi. I don't know why I care, but I really do.

I need to go and buy shoes today. Note, I did not say "shoe shopping." For that is not something men do. We go out and buy a pair of shoes. And we generally hate doing it. This is what I'm going to do. I would ask someone to come with me for moral support but I wouldn't subject anyone else to that kind of hell.

In case it isn't obvious, I'm tired and delirious. Apologies for the rambling bullshit in this post.
