She had a Q. Look

I strained a calf muscle at basketball.  I asked my doctor if this was a sign that I shouldn't play sport any more, at my age.  He said not necessarily - such things can be random.

Two days later I strained a back muscle.

Hmm.

I have been watching King of Thrones.  It's good.  A bit of a change of pace from Gossip Girl, anyway.

I lost my keys.  Then I found them.  Phew.  At the restaurant.

I was afraid my long claim to have never lost anything important was at an end.

It's exciting that there is a new Nood store in town.  Right next to Michelle's house.

I read a Wally Lamb book.  It was underwhelming.  And had lots of printing errors.   I was hoping that they'd cleverly fit into some theme that I hadn't picked up on.... but I'm pretty sure they didn't.

I'm wondering if the books of his I read that I loved, years ago, would still be good now (if I read them as a proper grown-up).

I dropped my dad at the air-port today.  They were running terribly late.  They were supposed to check-in at 9am, and they only woke up in Levin at 7.34am.  When I left them Lynne was saying, 'I can't breathe..... my shoe's not on.... can't breathe....' and she limped off with her shoe half on.  Dramatic entrance, dramatic exit! 

Then I got to drive their fancy car home.  It is a huge 4WD - the kind you accidentally run over small children in.  It has a sun roof.

Evidently I can't watch King of Thrones and blog at the same time.  I have had to rewind the same bit four times now.  Still can't figure out why the Snow boy is attacking people.... 

Oh, something about calling his father a traitor.  

Here comes a wolf.  I like the wolves.

Now that my phone consistently turns off while I'm in the middle of using it, I'm thinking of getting a new one.  Maybe a 'smart' one.  I'm unconvinced of the need for an 'i' phone.  Though everyone I know raves about them and hasn't regretted getting them.

The Dark Knight is rising.  That's something to look forward to after all the crap that's been on.
