Cricketing it!

• I didn't get in until nearly 2am this morning. When I got in, I flicked on Sky Sports and watched for the very first time, some live Cricket. It was the Ashes second test. England were bowling and Australia were batting. Now I really don't have very much comprehension of the rules of this game, except I'm pretty sure that the aim is to knock those three stumpy things down. (or knock one down anyway...or touch one of them). Sometimes, if the batter hits the ball behind him, and somebody catches it, everyone goes wild cheering, so I'm guessing that is good too. Flintoff was bowling, and before the ad break, he got the second of the two 'openers' out. I think opener means the first batter to 'open' the game. As I was leaving, Harding was for Ponting, like throwing him the ball. I think I got those two names right. 2am, lack of sleep, slight insomnia state (I mean I was watching cricket for goodness sake!), so memory of the event is a bit hazy...

• I will try again, and it must be said, I was rather pleased with myself for my efforts. I don't really understand the need for the white face paint (which I'm guessing is suncream) on their noses and lips. It really takes away from their efforts to make the sport cool. Has nobody ever heard of rubbing the cream in?! I'm surprised that nobody has gone up to these players and sort of said 'Oooh, you got something there' (pointing to their face)...or at least handed them a mirror! And as for those big roundy hats they wear...em...no. Just no.

• I have noticed a slight decline in my witty posts of late. Perhaps I haven't had the time to mull over my life and daily happenings to find something funny to say. Rather, I have just become rather sarcastic and sour looking. I can see me becoming one of those old biddys who keeps cats in 30 years time. You know the ones I'm talking about. They live with cats, and have scraggly hair; they sleep half the morning and don't work or study....Wow it would appear I am freakishly close to becoming one of those Cats Ladies, without the Cats of course. *Gulp* Well I shall make a special effort to become slightly more interesting in the next while.

• I also noticed a while ago, that one of the books I bought yesterday entitled "essentials:Mp3/ipod" was not what I thought it was. I had seen a similar book in Virgin last week, which gave you loads of information on technical aspects of....technical stuff (basically stuff I don't know) and I thought this book was the same thing and was a bargain at €4.00. Turns out this book is about all the different Ipods and Mp3 that are out there, and the history of them, as well as accessories you can buy. Now WHY would anyone like a book like that?!

• Yesterday was my 5month-new-lungs-birthday, and I had a big detailed thing on my transplant written out, but didn't get it finished so I decided I would post it for my 6month-new-lungs-birthday instead. Reminder, to leave comments in the guestbook instead of end of the posts! Thanks!
