percivalI have to maintain my LJ - again at work.
I spent the weekend reading - The New Believers, an interesting tome about New Religions,
Mapping the Mind by Rita Carter, who's quite an advocate of corrective brain surgery and drugs, and Oliver Sacks' An Anthropologist on Mars. I did Neuroinformatics at Uni, but
have forgotten almost everything. Am determined to resurrect my lost knowledge, though.
Originally, I wanted to do some work. But for now, I'm just happy that I'm back to doing sth
productive with my days - read fun books instead of sleeping and daydreaming!
Might have to do sth with the Anti-Candida diet I'm on. I'm slowly getting my groove back.
Apparently, I was on heavy doses of antibiotics as a kid. And then, a seven-day course of the stuff gave me a horrific thrush and I haven't been too well ever since.
It's quite difficult to stick to the diet. The only thing that makes it bearable is habit
and the effects that I see when I diverge from it.
For example, I went out and had
some Thai food on Thursday. It's bound to have contained sugar. I've been constipated
and bloated for the whole weekend. I don't have these problems when I stick to the diet.
Gaaah.
Tonight, I'll watch "Slimmers of the Year". Any of you have noticed that I'm obsessed with dieting and weight loss? At least I've stopped buying magazines solely because they promise a miracle diet on the cover - and I've accepted that my bum will always be a British size 12.
Book V has me all dizzy, like the rest of you. I'm really looking forward to that midnight opening - the last without kids (hopefully)
