Cups of Tea 0510 - 0534

So there's been a lot of tea drank and an equal amount of radio silence. For those who don't actively facebook stalk me, my mumps took a bit of a scary turn. My light hearted jibbing with the picture of my Desperate Dan Jaw™, as funny as they were became slightly more serious than a simple inflation of the face...

Thursday night after posting the last update, sat at the laptop in my usual fashion speaking to Gem turned into a bit of a nightmare, I felt seriously ill. Like Shaky ill. The next morning I felt ill. So ill in fact, I got up at 5am and crashed on the sofa while attempting to get a glass of water. It was hear I remained, drifting in and out of consciousness for the next 6 hours as I awaited the visit from the house calling GP. He visited, poked and prodded me abit before writing an letter to the chief of Surgery at Singleton Hospital, where I was immediately taken.

Cue 3 days of awkward sleep, seemingly endless blood tests and the only thing I was allowed to consume were clear liquids (i.e. bloody water...). It turns out my GP thought my mumps had spread to my Pancreas, something that would have seriously fucked me for the next year or so, but gladly the levels of Amylase in my blood didn't go over 264 (100 normal, 1000 cut that shit out of you...) while I was there so I got released with painkillers and the advice to simply rest.

Which from the radio silence, I have been. Got some reading done, designed 26 characters of a font (Just the Caps) and written 2000 words of a novella between sleep. But it's been mostly sleep, I get tired very easily (looking for my wallet on Wednesday for 10 mins was enough to almost KO me for two hours...)

More on what i've been doing tomorrow, but until then, if anyone want's to buy me this Luke Chueh piece to cheer me up, hit me up for the postal address ;)

Cups of Tea 0508 - 0509

Part two of the multi-part blog of the day. I hope you've all wrestled up some cocoa and slipped into something comfortable, because this is going to be some pure, unadulterated filth! Not really, but I'm just practicing my keyboard strokes...

So yes, I awoke in quite alot of pain in that there facial region... Looked in the mirror and not only did I look alot older but I looked like "festively plump" to quote Cartman... Suffice to say, bloody hideous... I fought through however... I believed it to be some rather annoying infection of the ulcer at the back of my jaw, that'd been giving me jipp for the previous week. Oh how very wrong I was, turns out kids. It was mumps. YAY!

But I didn't know this at the time, took in a day of shopping to get myself some new shiiit in the Carnegie street sales, some new WESC headphones, afew little bits and bobs from Diesel and a pretty cool hat from FCUK, New Era x Star Wars... No, it's not a flat peak...

Then I passed out. Fundamentally for two days did I not get out of bed. Not in fact, until it was time to come home... Which I did, then slept here... Confirmed at the doctors I had mumps and then that's it. I've been home and reading... started writing a novella which should be fun... I'll let you know how it develops... Uni work's going to start again once this has cleared up... Tomorrow I'm going to put up a full review of new designers :) Hope you read it!

Until then, new Rangelife flyer :)



Oh... and here's my mumpy face.

Cups of Tea 0504 - 0507

So Imma try and rap up a week and a half of experiences up into a two part blog entry in the same day, this is the aforementioned PART 1!


So I came back from Cornwall, it was nice. Involved alot of walking and fine weather which tickled my fancy and generally was a nice time. Then the week after was fundamentally a week of solid packing, good byes and film / tv watching. Saw Get Him To The Greek in the cinema (6/10... some very funny parts, the rest seems very week), How To Train Your Dragon via a downloaded DVD rip with Iain (10/10, very good animated film, told my Brawd to watch it with the Nephew) and ALMOST finished House (in fact I'm going to watch the last two episodes after this post's finished).

After the packing and moving into the flat, I got to sleep there for the night, it was kinda nice but kinda weird adjusting at the same time. But the room rocks... Huge walk in cupboard, two nice windows that OPEN (zing!) and alot more room to maneuver / put in some nice furniture. It's all good in the hood!


Pad Heff De Chef V3.0 Blurs and All

Then bright and early packed up and went to New Blood (new designer's is 10 mins walk away from my brothers too, might go there next week if I feel better...) which was excellent, I'll give a full review of it tomorrow (as there is literally a mountain of stuff from designer's I like). Met my brother had a good night out. Woke up Saturday morning looking like Desperate Dan and unable to eat.

More later ;) But before I go here's a flyer I did the night before I left for London.
