our beer prices are higher than home because it is a matter of supply and demand.  nobody can compare to the Irish, Scottish and English, so since we drink less it costs more.

I have a brand new strip of tendon tape on my arm, and may need a brace for a while. Not amused.

Cheeky bugger. But yeah. I've overdone it slightly, and who'd have figured, major arm-breaks with associated soft tissue damage take a while to heal! Physiotherapist made me look like I was harboring escaped first aid supply tape refugees. On the bright side, my elbow range of motion is pretty good, even if my wrist and forearm range of motion is still crap. Gnrr.

My brain chemistry (fuck chronic, cyclic depression, seriously), my state of education (Guests at work, telling me "You're too smart to work here" does not account for two things; One, I'm too bloody stupid and lazy to actually get the diploma that lets me do better, two, I'm really not intelligent, I'm just logical and well-spoken for an HFA "sufferer"), my inability to actually buck up and change the things I need to change, my upcoming 30th birthday (still without plans there, and frankly, I'll be cynical here, maybe three to five people would actually bother), and life in general. I guess I could also add a lost marriage to the works, failing health, that I've seen the death of a good chunk of my remaining family in the past five years, the passing of five friends, failure of a personal project, been shammed on a professional level (quite badly; I invested hundreds of hours of work)...

And on top of that, my broken, imbalanced brain is sitting there, a little devil on my shoulder, whispering in my ear, "Why bother". Something will give, sooner than later, and no, before you ask, I'm not about to go do something foolish, I'm already seeking psychiatric help. I am not going to make it out of this otherwise, my brain's balance is terribly, horribly broken, I have no energy, and while I'm still sane and rational, the only sane and rational answer is prompt medical attention. Ramble over. And let me just add a childish "Fuck everything" on the end here... if anyone needs me, I'm going to crawl back into bed, and have a good, sodden cry before going to another unforgiving overnight shift providing budget hospitality services to the absolute rotten adulterers, whoremongers, addicts and derelict dregs of east Vancouver.

Thanks for failing to understand how neurochemical depression works. Thanks also for your usual dismissive flip. If I could hit a switch and just go back to mindless happiness, you'd find that particular toggle fused at the contacts, I'd have hammered it so damn hard.

I'd come, if it helps any.

My personal grumble this morning is insomnia last night, though it wasn't too bad and I did manage to get to sleep at some point. I'm handling it better than I used to and getting less frustrated by it, on the plus side.

my apologies for seeming so insensitive.  on the other hand, maybe i seem so flippant and make these comments because it is my way of dealing with my depression.  trying to bring in some humour.  as in appropriate as you may think it to be, it was meant to be humorous.

Furies and There Photography

So i spent tonight browsing photos of some more fur conventions and fursuit parades and there's one thing I've always noticed over the years that cracks me up. You often see all these furies with all this big expensive camera gear or Digi SLR's and all this metal frame crap like there disabled and incapable of holding a camera properly. But what makes me laugh more. is all this Photo shite and money spent of it must be to try look cool. Because it's rare you find a photo taken that dose'nt look like its come from a typical cheap camera and rare you find creative photography from the gear they have. If yer gona spend the doh on the gear. Learn to use it
