My Little Lady by The Tremeloes is my favourite English language song.

London's not the right city for me. It's packed with people, Cockneys don't have a concept of personal space the way that Germans do. I couldn't even get on and off a Routemaster as much as I love those buses.

Munich is more my speed. There's less people, more green spaces, more trees and a view of the Alps. The buses are also more accessible. Ouch! The truth hurts.

I haven't gone anywhere except out twice a week with my mother since early July. :(

Hopefully I'll get out on my own a bit more once the weather cools down. :)

I hoping the big bull Roo that somersaulted over my fence line didn't break anything.
The idiot jumped back into the dog exercise paddock after I chased him out and let the dogs in.
The whippet was hot on his heels, but the deerhound caught up and ran alongside for 40 metres before accelerating away.

She thinks she's a Greyhound

I like drinks that taste like lime.

The music of The British Invasion is almost like a drug for me. It gives me a buzz.

Melatonin doesn't help me sleep or make me drowsy.


Before BCPs, it just gives me a jetlag like symptom. Doesn't help me relax, let alone sleep.
It just makes me tense at the back of my head, more as if I'm fighting it and at worst it can burn.
It's kinda like alcohol for me; it's either redundant or not worth it.


After BCPs, it's more like an aide in meditation, emotional processing and inner work.
It doesn't help me sleep and relax in a way sleep should.

If the session is successful, I'd basically did a DIY psych session that can potentially have me enable to overcome traumas and explore the nature of my emotions and psyche better.

At "worst", I'd wake up with a super slow sense of time the day after, and a superior level of patience and mindfulness.
Still doesn't boost my processing speed and memory though. :|


And I won't be taking it on a regular basis. I'd only take them up to once per 2 weeks or so.

I'm going to London after all. Anything is possible when you have a dream. I got that from an old Olympic McDonald's commercial. The Red City is more accessible than I thought it was. I'll just have to get used to large crowds of people ahead of time. First I'll need to lose 100 lbs so I can get around more easily and than I'll need outfits that are inspired by The Kinks. I'm ready to swing, Baby!
