Dawn of War

I was bored of my pc games and Jim offered me to try one of his, called Dawn of War. Normally I don’t like dick flick stuff, which is what it looks like from the cover. He said that it is not just about bashing stuff, but has also building and development activities like Age of Empires, which I enjoyed for a very long time. Well, in my opinion, it is not like Age of Empires – much simpler and less challenging. Although, I must admit that simple mindless bashing feels kind of stress releasing and it did occupy me for few days. It also has a bit of a story line and interesting characters based on some books. It would have been worth drawing those characters in better details and close ups – it would have made the game very beautiful. And it definitely needs to be harder at least on some levels. I went through entire campaign and most of other multiple players games where you play with computer in a time race and I haven’t lost once. So, obviously it quickly gets boring.

I say if they cant provide equal service to women they should offer them cancel tax rebates.

Young babes.

Puff is moving on.

It took few days for Puffy to recover from death of his brother. I washed their home properly in order to remove Fluffy’s smell and help Puffy forget and move on. First few days he slept or sat still and seemed in shock or grieving. Now he seems all ok again. He built a huge nest out of paper in the elephant and happily playing, digging, jumping around, and interacting with us again.

Quest for better eyesight.

I was diagnosed with slight myopia sometime a go, about –2, but I do not have glasses. I do not like techniques that do not cure or solve anything, such as glasses, asthma inhalers, diabetes pills, etc. I am also not entirely comfortable with the idea of channelling any personal power outside one’s body into an external object.

 

So I have collected few books on eyesight: psychosomatic, EFT, herbal, physical exercises for eyes. So far, while looking through these books I have made few discoveries. I make the following common mistakes that apparently lots of other people often do too.

 

1)      I often hold my breath till I reach end of sentence or longer while reading or writing. Apparently, they say, this can temporary starve eyes of oxygen. Thus decreasing quality of eyesight. Stopping this habit and making sure I breath more often and deeper cleared my vision significantly and helped the most so far.

 

2)      I rarely blinked while reading or writing. Supposedly, better moisturised eyes see better. Blinking slowly and more often, like advised, helps me a little.

 

 

3)      I was over tensing my eyes’ muscles. They say that relaxed eyes can see far and one only needs to tense it in order to see near. Hence one needs to relax eyelids and eyebrows, “soften” the gaze and look at things leisurely. “Softening” the gaze helps a little as well.

Fluff died unexpectedly. We woke up in the morning and found him dead in the middle of their house. Considering, we only had them for few months it was a surprise. I thought they suppose to live for over a year. I guess, he had some kind of hamster illness that killed him so quickly. Do hamsters have heart attacks or similar? And he was the biggest healthiest looking one as well. Such a pity. The other one, Puff, looks a bit shocked and depressed now, I think. Poor thing.

Susan Boyle.

Famous now, Susan Boyle. She says that she has never been given the chance before.

I think I like her cats the most.

A woman caught a robber on her business premises and violently raped him for 3 days. She forced him to take viagra to keep his erection. Both are facing criminal charges now: he - for attempted robbery, she - for imprisoning and raping him. 

 

On 14^th March around 5 p.m., 32 years old Victor Y. have attempted an armed robbery of a hairdressing salon in Meshovsk, Russia. The 28 years old owner disarmed him, tied his hands using hairdryer’s cord and shove him into a storage cupboard. She told few clients who were there that she is going to call the police and they have nothing to worry about and she instructed her employees to continue working. The employees have finished their shift and went home, not knowing that their boss did not call the police. After 3 days she gave him new trousers, paid him an equivalent of £20 and let him go. She thought that the money and the gift would make him happy. To her surprise, he went to a hospital to see to a tiny wound on his penis and then straight to the police. She said to the police that she cant believe how ungrateful he is. She pointed out that she even fed him well and laundered his clothes.
