Fantastic This and That

I just had the most fantastic night's sleep ever. My doctor gave me some sleeping tablets (yay, at last) and I slept from 6.30 last night to 8.30 this morning. The best thing about it is that the tablets mean you don't dream, it's more like being under anaesthetic or something. Mmmmmmmmmmmm... Heh heh the trademark symbol for the meds is really cute, it's a smiling teddy bear with arms out to give a hug. It makes me smile back every time I see it :)

My Friday surprise came too late for me to write it up, so will do it now: I went into Bellamy's in Cuba Mall by chance and found two old TIME Magazines - one from January 1970 and the other from January 1978. I'm always on the look out for old newspapers or magazines, it's just so interesting to read a primary resource from a time before I was born. I've only got about half-way through one of them yet, but it's got articles on the forced desegregation of schools in the South, stories on Vietnam (although it's written Viet Nam back then, does anyone know why it changed?) and the War, a story on arming the Middle East and in particular, Iraq - stuff about the Tate murders, James Earl Ray, the Manson Family trial, film and tv reviews... man it's so cool. :) I was stoked! And to find two magazines at once, and in such good condition - that was a real surprise. Haven't found any this good in a couple of years. :)

Maybe next week's theme could be 'winning lotto'...
