Evil Plant Sex Goo
The Evil Plant Sex Goo has been strong recently, as many people in England probably know. So it was no surprise yesterday when I developed allergic conjunctivitis, again (forth time in three years), even after daily antihistamines and frequent eye washes. I hate hay fever, I hate plant sex goo, and I hate the antibiotic eye drops. At least I'm not alone: the man opposite me on the train is suffering from The Fever too. Maybe we should form a nose-blowing and sniffing double act...
Once I'm in Croydon I think I'll do my lunch shopping before I go to work, the local supermarket has a wonderfully air-conditioned cheese and meat section. Aaah the relief.
In totally unrelated news, this week I did a Matt and bought two albums from hearing them on the Beeb. Bebel Gilberto was on Jools last week with some funky modern bosso nova, and Murcof (minimalist classical with house influence and sound textures, apparently) were mentioned by Matt yesterday. They have a funky Flash based site and three streams to download, which are great mellow pieces. Perfect for deep-hack-mode background music.
