I can’t remember who told me this but there is a correlation supposedly between sunshine and happiness. There is a huge increase in depression over winter periods and this has something to do with vitamin D and not getting enough.
When I first moved to Auckland, I started taking Centrum because it was apparent I wasn’t eating very well at first. I’m not sure if it did anything or if I started to “feel 100%” but this was an odd move seeing as I normally hate taking pills, let alone voluntarily taking them.
Behold the glory that is Casting Out Nines, the term and solution to my puzzle a couple of posts ago. I really do appreciate this. The psychological term for needing to do this is called Arithmomania and its kind of like not feeling well and not knowing what it is. Now that I do, I’m ok with it.
The week has been an interesting one with a Masonnic back for a few days for meetings and a slightly impromptu brunch. Have I told you how awesome it is to live with someone who cook, particularly one who knows how to make their own really good hollandaise? I’ve missed it.
I find interesting how americanised some things are getting for some NZers (52 sleeps before Christmas folks
Halloween is a perfect example of this. NZers when I was a child never really did this and now we have signs that you can print off the NZ Police website to advise if you’re a trick or treatable friendly house (apartment living ftmfw).
I’m really wanting to talk about costumes and dressing up for the sheer fun of it, not in a Comic con kind of way, although some of those ones are very cool.
I’ve been to two dress up parties this year which now brings my total to 4 ever – Lughnasadh and Pirate Party being the first two. I think it’s great to see what people come up with, particularly the different kinds of Pirates there were at the recent one this year. I got to wear a straitjacket… the seduction technique I was going to try had a couple of flaw, particularly the confidence to hug a hot stranger and your wingman agreeing to tie you arms together mid lurch.
Side Note: For anyone who wants to see what Fat Ethel 2 was actually like, you should clicky. I’m better off not knowing.
Ah relativity… quoted as one of the worst movies ever. If it’s worse than rollerblade 7, I will buy a hat and eat it, literally.
I guess the only thing I really have to dread in the immediate future is the result of this weekends NPC final. Living in a city which “hates” you and your team because you’re consistently awesome is a really fine balance between lol and facepalm.
I’m pretty sure the eyepatch didn’t fit for the pirate party…
