I am the Loafmaster!….

( click for more giant chinese cat pics)

I’m feeling a bit like a fraud to be honest – this amount of time off work for having your appendix removed – albeit one that was a little more difficult to find than the average bear – Still feels like a bit of a blag though – everyone remotely medically knowledgable tells me it’s major surgery, but I’m fine apart from that bloody great sharkbite looking 15 inch scar on the side of me….

I went to have the staples out today and the nurse dispensed with 21 of the little blighters (doesn’t half pinch) but she left 7 in there at the right angle part – she was horrified when I said I thought I’d be ok for work next week and when I go back to see her on Monday she’s going to sign me off for longer (cue imaginary backflip!) – she also asked if I’d been sticking to the script and actually resting up this last week seeing as it looks as though the scar isn’t healing as quickly as hoped - therefore indirectly accusing that I may not’ve been taking it easy enough.

Accusations which I refuted! I am the Loafmaster! no one knows how to take it any easier than I! Behold as I recover by watching DVD’s and generally doing feck all!

Apart from the incident when I forgot I was injured and tried running up the stairs, I have indeed been either sitting in my lazy-boy chair or lying in bed - hardly anything other than taking it easy - then again I suppose sitting upright at the computer hurts after a while and earlier on when I put on a pair of jeans with a belt wasn’t the most comfortable experience in the world - so I guess wearing a suit and sitting in the office all day along with walking to and from the train station wouldn’t be a great idea at the moment.

Still – Appendicitis with bonus extra scar work – recommended – probably more than two weeks off work for free and no real pain or discomfort as long as you watch a shit load of DVD’s and sleep a lot.

Anyways – while loafing I’ve watched Walk the Line (Johnny Cash Bio – standard rock star story fair but great central performances and cracking music) Waiting (Ryan Reynolds Restaurant comedy – fairly funny) Saw 2 (bloody horrible), Harry Potter 4 (fell asleep) and have Syriana, Jarhead, Goodnight & Good luck, Grizzly man, Stay, Hustle and Flow, The Matador, The Ice Harvest, Brokeback Mountain, Domino, Two for the Money & Undertow to get through once they arrive later next week.

Yes, I do know how to loaf like no other.

For anyone based in the UK with a multi region DVD player and a paypal account – check out
Rounder DVD’s – pre-release section has the new cinema stuff and anything with an “Excellent” rating means quality is perfect – “very good” tends to be a dodgier affair – it’s reliable, quick and cheap and I can’t see any reason to pay high street prices ever again.

Don’t know how it’s allowed though.
