Red wine may cause me sleeping issues

Monday, June 30th, 2008

After doing the Detox diet it appears Red Wine may have been a culprit in causing me to have interrupted sleep patterns with lack of oxygen during the night.  During the detox I don’t remember having any issues sleeping. As soon as it was over I had a glass of red wine on Thursday night and another on Friday night. Both nights I had trouble sleeping. I had trouble breathing at times since my sinuses closed up somewhat and I had terrible nightmares.

I tipped the rest of the bottle down the sink and will see how it goes once I have it all out of my system.  Last night I slept rather well.

The night before last I started using the "3 step lessons" function on my new Casio CTK 810 keyboard to teach myself to play "London Bridge".  I had fun learning the key sequences and it was easy to figure out how it all works.  I’m going to try and dedicate 30-60 mins each night to learning to play music.  Once I have my credit cards successfully paid off I’m going to get some actual lessons.  I did email a local teacher about lessons a couple of weeks ago but have not heard back so have decided to wait until things are all paid off first.

Okay, so they released a Creature creator application for Spore so people could test out creating critters. You know what’s going to happen? They are going to make the critters have sex and have long penises.

SMS spam in Australia

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Last Sunday I received my first SMS spam to an Australian mobile phone.
It says:

ATTN: ITS IN THE RECORDS HERE THAT YOU ARE THE SOLE BENEFICIARY TO LATE CARO MARK WHO LEFT #10 MILLION POUNDS STERLING. TO CLAIM YOUR INHERITTANCE EMAIL: revfatheragustin@yahoo.com.hk or MOBILE: 0092347082836553

I hope this isn’t something which is going to happen often. It was at 6:30am. Lucky I was already awake.

George Carlin Has Died

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has died from heart failure. The man who made famous the "seven words you can never say on television" passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.

Carlin, who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems. 

Carlin has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his last HBO special in March, "It’s Bad for Ya."
