The Sisters of Mercy are classifed in my itunes as Christian Rap. As far as I'm aware, they don't fit in either of those. And it's locked, so I can't correct it.
Oh, New Zealand
Sep. 3rd, 2009 08:54 pmIt turns out that the AA on behalf of NZTA are not allowed to accept a certified copy of a birth certificate as proof of identity for renewing a driver's licence - it has to be the original. Or, you can present the driver's licence you are renewing as proof. I now have a piece of paper in my wallet as a temporary licence.
I am slightly disturbed that I, who has not driven for about ten years, can still legally drive.

Studylink! I mean, really!
I got my statement from them yesterday and while glancing through it noticed $300 of living costs that I hadn't applied for! So I called them up this morning and asked what the fuck? After some time looking it up (hold music, what fun), I was told that it was living adjustment costs that was meant to be paid out to me a few years ago, probably 2004 because that was when I last used my loan. Me: Wtf?
I don't even remember that $300.
Made chicken stock this evening with the remains of our garlic stuffed chicken from the weekend and after the decision was made to make chicken noodle soup with it, called my mother to ask for Gran's chicken noodle soup, which as it turns out is actually Lai and Bev's chicken noodle soup, and will start that tomorrow since some of it needs cooking for four hours. Also got the recipe for Michael Biscuits, which is basically a chocolate coconut/sultana microwave slice that has the best tasting partial mixture (melted butter, brown sugar and cocoa).
Still feeling pretty rotten. Sniffing, sneezing, coughing, achy, headachy - you name it, I seem to have it.
Photocopied Re Pianotist Company Ld's Application 23 RPC [1906] 774 after work today to see if reading an IP case would help me to understand reaching the ratio deciendi at all. Not sure it'll help for class, but it'll probably help for work. I picked that one because it's one of the most cited cases I've seen in trade mark case law.
The dehumidifier is working much more efficently now than it did before C (who now has a computer and needs to get an lj) cleaned the filter. It fills in under 24 hours in my room now. Fortunately, I'm fine with sleeping with it on. It sounds like the sea in a way that my computer doesn't.

Apr. 26th, 2005 05:31 pmYour local update on my leg. *grins* I'm quite fascinated watching this develop. I haven't bruised myself this badly since I fell off my bike when I was 15 and jammed my thigh between the frame and the handlebars. I got two bruises bigger than my hand on either side of my leg then and the resulting limping has screwed up my knees, particularly in cold weather.
The colour is darkening still on the patches where it just showed up yesterday. There's also a thumb-sized bit of purple/grey around the toothmarks. The odd bit is that although it hurts to touch the bits which have gone to grey/black, the palm sized area around the toothmarks which is still red/purple has gone numb. I mean, it hurts if I press down on it, but I can't actually feel my fingers on my skin. It's just a point of pressure. This is probably not a good thing.
However, I made an appointment at the Northland Medical Centre for tomorrow morning to get a flu vaccination (yes, I did mention that I had an immediate allergic reaction to the last one) and I'll ask them about my leg then. Because I'm thinking that no feeling in my skin is probably a bad thing. I also have an optomistrist appointment tomorrow afternoon at 3.15pm since I've been having trouble with my eyes at work and I went to the gynecologist's today.
I was pleasantly surprised not to get scolded about anything except one thing and that wasn't a serious scolding. She was actually quite pleased with me; said I was on the right track, that I needed to find a GP and update them on my information and stuff (I'll get various sources to send my records over), but I was going well and I don't need to go back unless something goes wrong again.
Oh, and apparently, the correct BMI weight for me is 58 kilos! I don't think I've weighed that since I was 15 or 16. I don't think my Mum has gotten down to that for a very long time (or until the last couple of years, for a very long time) and she's always been fairly skinny. So instead of the ten or so kilos I was going to try and lose by my birthday, that's twenty or so to work on. Is anyone sure that the BMI is right? Or is it just a working guideline/ideal weight thing?
Am going to leave for my LARP meeting in an hour or so. Meanwhile, I'm either going to do more of my dragon (I've decided upon working on that while I work out if I want to do something else) or write some more of the Christine Feehan/Rurouni Kenshin crossover that I have eleven pages of. Oh yes, and there's Schism.
