Bad Moon Rising

No preamble today. Straight in. There are SEVEN tea towels on the go in my kitchen at the moment. Seven. Am I alone in thinking that this is a bit fucking excessive? Given The Housemate’s stubborn refusal to wash them, I’m a bit miffed to say the least. Two sport evidence of having been used on spillages… Grrrrr…
I am supremely grumpy today. I worked out that my last full night’s sleep was over a month ago and it is doing nothing for my usually ‘cheery’ disposition.

I congratulate those Housemates who have managed Sociable Bathrooming Level One. Well done.
This means that you have managed to rinse away most of your hairs and the soap doesn‘t look like it needs feeding. It is not human nature to climb into a bath or shower that is hirsute so it follows that when you get out, any that are in there are yours! They were probably attached to you not that long ago, so what is the problem with using your hand to get particularly stubborn ‘clingers’?
Level Two requires you use some sort of cleaning product. We have a surprising selection and they live under the sink, there are even ‘Eco‘ ones. They don’t live alone, oh no, they share with a cloth!
While I’m on the subject of the sink. The Red, White and Blue pattern at the bottom is not a wry homage to patriotism, it’s fucking Aquafresh! As shocking as it sounds, this can also be removed using the same products as the bath! How amazing is that?
I will address the Toilet issue at a later date.
There is a full moon tonight and maybe that’s why I’m feeling so weird and hectic. There was also a partial eclipse. That made the moon look quite orange and gave the impression it was wearing a really bad toupee. Through the ages the Full Moon has been associated with insomnia, insanity and of course Lycanthropy. An ex neighbour of mine was a psychiatric nurse and according to her they used to put extra staff on during this time!
The English name for this moon is a Fruit Moon so it kind of fits in with last night’s blog.

I watch The Simpsons like others watch Corrie or Eastenders. I love it and I never bore of them, even the repeats. I end up hearing or seeing stuff I missed the first or second time.
Tonight’s episode was the one when Homer and Marge end up going over Niagara Falls in a bouncy castle.
The American and Canadian coastguard start fighting over who has jurisdiction. The guy on the Canadian boat came out with a line that just keeps repeating on me!
“Back off you Shatner stealing Mexico touchers, eh”..
Maybe you had to be there! Schnee.. Thought of you immediately!
While I’m thinking of Shatner… Happy 40th Star Trek.

Yes, defiantly a bad evening for you. Apart from the hair and extended nails (more than usual), I can confirm that the moon did indeed have a pronounced effect. Neap tides also seem to be a factor in governing sleepy’s incomplete metamorphosis
