saffiterOkay, I totally embarrassed myself walking across to the shops today. I keep forgetting not to walk on snow that's been walked over countless times by hundreds of people.
It is of the slippery.
Now, normally they sand the snow (which is literally getting handfuls of sand/dirt/gritty stuff and scattering it across wherever people are going to walk). This seems to stop people from stacking it for the most part. Some wonderful person forgot to sand the walkway out the front of RAST today. It snowed last night and people have been walking across it all day. It's on a slope, too.
Cue Sheena's feet skidding out from underneath her suddenly, legs going flying up over her head, landing hard on her arse (and hands slamming hard down onto the snow/pavement/ice) and sliding about 2m down the walkway.
Owie.
My arse hurts right now. I bet there's a bruise.
At least I didn't smack my head on the concrete. That would've really hurt.
In other news I got out of the house and the town for a bit yesterday. I hopped a bus to Olsztyn. I didn't really do much as there's nothing really on at the cinemas that I want to see so I just wandered around my usual haunts for a while and had lunch at KFC at about 1pm and then caught a bus back to Mragowo. Nothing really exciting but it was great to get out for a while. I haven't been further than the store (which is across the road) in about 2 1/2 weeks!
I also did a couple of things in Mragowo before I headed back to the flat. First off a quick visit to Rossman for essentials like shampoo, conditioner (RAST doesn't stock the one that I use), deoderant, a scented candle to burn in the flat, and a small, cheap travel hair dryer (19zl. I finally decided that sitting up until all hours waiting for my hair to dry was a bad idea after washing my hair on Sunday night and then having troubles keeping my eyes open while waiting for my hair to dry).
I did something to my right calf while I was out. Probably pulled something when I was racing to get to the bus yesterday morning. Or on the footpaths in Olsztyn or Mragowo. Walking in Poland is hazardous sometimes.
Sheena is currently slow and gimpy when she walks *pulls a face*
I was exhausted by the time I got home. Energy levels still aren't up to where they were before I got sick. It's probably going to take me a while to get back to where I was before that happend. I'm still walking much slower than I used to as well. Walking fast makes me cough. My legs were aching like you wouldn't believe, too.
I might go and see Valkyrie on Saturday. I'm not much of a Tom Cruise fan, but it's about a plot that actually happened about 20minutes away from me in the next town across; Ketzryn (Okay, it's a little bit out of Ketzryn, but you can base yourself there and visit). Yep, I live near the Wolf's Lair. I'm going to go and visit it when it warms up a little bit. I'll take pictures.
*Checks movie timetable* Er, Nope. Scratch that. The only thing playing on Saturday is some sort of 3D thing for Valentines day. No thanks. As I neither have a boyfriend or speak Polish I'll stay home. I'll see it Friday next week instead.
Also, I have some more Rome pictures up in my online photo album: (LOOKIT THE PICCIES!!!)
Also, I really need to keep away from Amazon.com *laughs*. I went and bought myself three things: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull paperback novel, Transformers Movie Sequel: Reign of Starscream, and Transformers Movie Prequel: Saga of the Allspark.
I really, really wanted to get Alliance and Defiance (Ratchet = FTW!!!! <3. Fannon grouchy Ratchet now appears to be Canon *grins*), but they're part of a series and I'd rather wait until all of them are out and get them together in one book like I am with Reign of Starscream.
*EDIT* I swear, it sounds like my neighbours (the ones above me) have got hold of a pogo stick and are currently bouncing about on it indoors.
Oooh... and did you know they're making a Thundercats movie?! It's due out next year and it's going to be CGI.
Also, they're going to make another Phantom (as in Ghost Who Walks, not creepy guy in a half mask with a heroine that I just want to slap) movie! *squees and bounces*. Okay, the first one wasn't the greatest movie ever, but they made most of it in my home town (Brisbane and also at Movieworld on the Gold Coast) so I love sitting there and spotting all the places that are familiar to me. Also, it's Phantom! I loved that comic book! It used to be the one comic book that I'd collect as a kid.

Date: 2009-02-12 05:43 am (UTC)You've had a rough go of it over the last couple of weeks. :( We had that same flu go around here, believe it or not. It sucks the life energy right out of you. And to get bruised up on top of that *shakes head*
It's also been raining here for the last two or three days. The snow gets *super* slippery *nodnod* Our driveway is at a slope, and our mailbox is down by the road...makes for an interesting adventure. (Our dog even wiped out...and he's as sure footed as they come. ;D)
I haven't seen Valkyrie (definitely not a Cruise fan). It would be cool to see where the real thing actually took place. *nodnod*
And double squee for the Thundercats. My hubby is going to be happy- it was one of his favorite cartoons, and he still has some recorded eps on old VHS tapes...;D

Date: 2009-02-12 02:56 pm (UTC)The weather at the moment isn't really cold enough for the snow to stick. There's enough snow there already that it's about ankle depth, but because it's kinda sorta warm what falls melts before it can build up.. and then it freezes overnight, then it melts, then it freezes... you get the idea. It makes walking hazardous!
It sounds like you need some sort of guide rope during winter that you can hold onto when you go to get the mail!
Oh, I'm not a Tom Cruise fan at all!. One of my friends said that the movie was decent so *shrugs*. I'm going to use it as an excuse to get the hell out of Mragowo for a while and hear something other than Polish for a couple of hours (Polish can be a little harsh on the ears at times).
Wolf's Lair is open from Sunrise to Sunset, so I'm waiting until probably early May to head off to see it. Then the sun will be setting around 8pm or even later so I'll have more time to explore (as opposed to now when the sun is setting really early). I'll take lots of pictures when I go.
Thundercats movie is definately worth *squee*age. Lots of the fans are grumbling 'cause it's going to be CGI (they want it to be live action like Transformers was. Their complaint is that there are too many CGI movies out there, now). There's been debates for ages over which actor should be playing which role (Vin Diesel is almost unanimously voted as Panthro nearly every time).
Personally I don't mine. CGI gives them that much more room to do stuff.. and helps suspend reality for a time ^___^.
I'm more interested in what they're going to do for the storyline. Are they going to re-invent it, like what they did with Batman? Or are they going to follow on from where the series left off? (I'm hoping it'll be a re-invention. Thundercats never really had the re-vival that TMNT did. There's going to be lots of the younger generation going "Thundercats? What's that?").
If your hubby likes Thundercats point him towards this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb50GMmY5nk . Someone sat down and pasted together a heap of movies to make a Thundercats trailer... then they played with it in Photoshop to make sure that the actors actually looked like Thundercats... it's fooled a lot of people into thinking it was real (and it's very, very well done!).
