Is it possible?! Apparently, it is! Thank Christ for my favourite girl getting to stay and the one singer whose voice I couldn’t stand leaving. Also, Erik doing The Show Must Go On? One of my all time favourite performances on the show, ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/11/06/o_o/ Penny: Morning, Sheldon! Come dance with me! Sheldon: …No. Penny: Why not? Sheldon: Penny, while I subscribe to the ‘Many Words’ theory, which posits the existence of infinite number of Sheldons in an infinite number of universes, I assure you that in none of them am I dancing. Penny: Are you fun in any ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/11/05/oh-sheldon/ I’ve already come out of the Idol-closet and admitted to watching it, so, I might as well post about it here. I’m not ashamed! This week, they all get to choose their own songs. No theme, other than ‘Sing your favourite song’. I think it has potential to be a good ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/11/05/the-show-must-go-on/ So, I went for my first TENS treatment today - that’s ‘transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation’ in fancyspeak. I got to lie on the table for twenty minutes with electricity pulsing through my hip. It was really, well, weird, but also strangely nice - in a pricking, tingling, almost-uncomfortable kind of ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/11/03/going-under-the-battery/ Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.

Please, electrotherapy, work. http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/10/29/pardon-me-for-a-second/ Sweet unnamed deity, why must there be so much awesome stuff at Etsy? This store is just killing me. I WANT those watches. I’m very tempted to at least buy the silver watch face - it’s not very expensive, and so, so pretty. Could work well with a regular band, ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/10/28/argh/ I’m spending the weekend working on gathering data for my degree essay, which I’m now definitely writing on dialect effects on polysemy - comparing ‘knock off’ in American and British English. At the moment my work consists of going through the British National Corpus and the American equivalent, COCA, collecting ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/10/25/my-pigging-leg/ I’m sorry, but I’m sitting here cracking up and had to post about it. Watching Supernatural (don’t worry, I’m not going to spoil anything important), and someone mentions ‘phantom itch’ in passing. Basically, "all it takes is someone talking about an itch, or thinking about one, even, and suddenly you ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/10/16/tv-speaks-the-truth/ I went swimming today! And it was glorious. First exercise I’ve gotten in ages. Whether or not I’ll pay for it tomorrow with owmyhipcan’twalk remains to be seen, but damn, it felt so good. Had a moment of panic when I couldn’t find my keys afterwards, and came out to ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/10/12/just-keep-swimming/ Pain, pain, and pain. I am so fucking sick of it. I’m sitting on the sofa typing this and my hip aches like hell. This isn’t fair. On a more positive note; why I love The Big Bang Theory:  Howard: Come on, bath stuff! It’s perfect! You got a scented candle, a ... http://sillyrabbit.blogsome.com/2009/10/08/boo-hiss/
