ZZZZZAP!

Today was a day off in the sense that I was not at work but I ended up doing more work than I do at Currys, spending the day moving boxes and furniture to the new house. It's horrendous looking at the amount of boxes containing everything I own and considering how it is all going to fit in my room. Also when I was starting to unpack a few things I realised it is going to take me a lot of getting used to having neighbours; every sound or movement from outside had me peering suspiciously out the window. This is because I haven't actually had neighbours or lived in the vicinity of other houses since I was 3. Other than that though the new house is going to be great.

Once we packed up for the day we had a takeaway from the chippy; my pizza had the addition of the centre still being half-frozen. On the bright side you could say it cooled me off after working hard all day.

Lastly this evening as I was watching TV with my brother he noticed my Fly Zapper, an electronic fly swat that electrocutes the creature. Long story short I explained that if the red light is off the metal hasn't got electricity in it. He decided to touch it just after the red light went off, and there was still some charge left so a small bolt of electricity leapt across to his fingertip prompting him to scream the house down thinking he'd literally been electrocuted. After a minute he realised it wasn't actually hurting any more and that everything was fine. I considered being a brave brother, zapping my own finger to show it doesn't injure you, it just hurts for a second, but I chickened out because I get electric shocks off of shopping trolleys let alone sticking my finger into a live mesh.

Song of the day is by Equilibrium, a german folk metal band. This track is off of the bonus CD of their new album Rekreatur, where they do acoustic covers of previous songs of theirs. It's a great song on the normal recording but it also sounds really cool acoustically.
