It's 30 degrees today, according to the Meterological site. When I got home last night I couldn't find my aircon remote so I spent a sweaty 60 minutes trying to figure out if I could live without it. Which I couldn't, so I had to pause yet another watching of "Batman Begins" to find the damn thing. Turns out it was wedged down the side of the sofa, which should have been the first place to look as we all know that remotes like tight comfy places.

The humidity helps none, of course and just means that five minutes after showering you need another one.

I can't wait for "Batman" to finally get to Japan. It will actually be only the third time I've been to the cinema since I came here.

I have to go out and get some food later as I've deliberately run my fridge down to the sum total of: some pumpkin, a bit of cheese, half a bottle of wine, a piece of ginger and some American mustard. I got fed up of the food in there. Now I'm going to attempt to actually eat everything I buy, and stop buying stuff I don't need.

Not very exciting at the moment.

Fruitcakes

I was just checking out a macrobiotic website (it's a long story) and found this "remedy":

"Carp Plaster"

Reduces high fever, as in the case of pneumonia. Crush and mash a whole, live carp and mix with a small amount of whole-wheat flour.Spread this mixture onto oiled paper and apply to the chest. When treating pneumonia, drink 1 or 2 teaspoons of carp blood, only in the case where the carp has just been killed. Take the body temperature every half hour, and immediately remove the carp plaster when the temperature reaches normal.

Ummm, I think I'm going to leave this website, right now...
