Chaorce A.O.P.

After Earth was a bad, bad film. Like, mind blisteringly awful. As well as being a tragic rip off of Harry Harrison's Death World.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.

So I turned 35 recently. An odd repercussion of this is that when people say to me, 'hello, how old are you' and I say 'why, I just recently turned 35' their response trends (yes, trends - one thing I've learned since turning 35 is that if more than one person does something it's trending, which makes it sound very important and of course quite cool, whereas before it was a Zeitgeist or happenstance) ...trends to be "fuck off! " which nobody told me to look out for.

So anyway, I ate my cheese. Delicious and creamy outer layer, with a surprisingly chalky, putrid tasting core. Took me by surprise, but meshed itself in beautifully with the cheese as a whole.

I dreamt I was in my flat, but it had been slowly decaying, the tide of time taking its toll, it's lustre ebbing away.. Sell it someone was telling me, you'll still make a mint and buy a house with a garden!

I awoke, slightly phased, though this is not unusual as I seldom enjoy the brutality of waking up without a hangover and a job to go to, shrugged the dream off and went to the shower.

The shower rail bleeding went and did done come of me hand!! What the hell?? After a moments inspection, I could see a minuscule gap in a seal allowed water to slip through to the innards of the rail holder, slowly rusting the screw which eventually dissolved to nothing. No biggy, five minutes, took out the rusty stump, shiny new screw, rail back up safe as horses.

I continued about my day. I came home from work. I put the washing on. I took the washing out. I milled about a bit. The washing machine smells a bit weird, says she.. "By Jove, she's right!" I think to myself.. On closer inspection.. It's mouldy! Mouldy! How can this be??

It turns out, that which cleans, must be cleaned itself!

My mind has just been blown.

You have to clean washing machines??

So next day, I did. Nightmare cleaning the inside of those rubber seals, I tell you. For anyone interested I tried (interspersed with hot wash cycles) mould and mildew remover-limited success, vinegar-limited success, dylon washing machine cleaner-excellent! Good as new! And learnt once a month you need to put it on a hot cycle to kill off spores. So much for my eco friendly washing, if I have to put it on a 90 wash every couple of weeks anyway.

But this begs the question.. Have I found the dream cheese?? Do I listen to it and sell the flat?? I mean, that's quite a big thing! I've barely moved in! But life is big, right? I'm going to take this cheese again, and see what happens...

What do YOU think I should do??

Taste: 9/10
Dreaming 9/10
