    I'm catsitting for friends.

    I didn't realise that when they said 'would you mind popping round to feed the cat' they meant 'and also water the entire garden', about which I am considerably less keen...

    Taking the family to the water park and then taking my son to a minor league baseball game. Same stadium where the Mets do their spring training.

    Oh I want to go to a water park! They're a bit sparse in the UK, also chilly.

    (For British kids in the '80s, the most mindblowing thing about Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was WATERLOO. Closely followed by shops that are open in the evening.)

    Pretty abundant here in Florida. Especially in the big tourist cities such as Orlando and Tampa. But also highly expensive. The one in my town is about $13 per person and you can get about 4-5 hours out of it.

    This evening, it's theater for me. I'm going to see Le Gros Diamant du Prince Ludwig, the french adaptation of The Comedy about a Bank Robbery, by the same company who did Les Faux British, the french adaptation of The Play that Goes Wrong. If it's only half as fun as that, I'm in for a great evening. Although the trip back home will be a bit difficult. Due to roadwork, buses don't stop at the stop nearest to home. Ah well, a little walk never killed anyone, right ?

    Annual summer illness has arrived. The last few weeks of June are always dreadfully exhausting. It's a teacher thing. Correcting tons of finals against rough deadlines, having endless meetings, attending late graduation ceremonies and the likes... most of that while following irregular meals (or none at all), suffering from sleep deprivation, coasting on the goodwill of my adrenaline and caffeine levels. And now, at the start of the summer vacation, all of that mental and physical abuse comes down on me like a load of bricks. So, nausea, headaches, bowel chaos, ... are wreaking havoc inside of me right now.

    What does one do then? Well, in my case, with the girlfriend occupied during the day, I buy a 6-DVD box of Steven Seagal trash and watch it with the greatest amusement. This stuff is bad, people, and it only gets worse. :D Every year, Seagal's output seems to increase while imdb signals him with <2.0 ratings to stop, please, STOP all right. But he just won't. He can't keep his belly on the same continent as his ego but don't let that fool you. The man is an expert archaeologist, martial artist, gunman, scientist, porch fixer, doctor, horseman ..., he's an expert everything. Women want him more than jewellery and he's also the world's greatest father -- who would have known. He can drive cars like a pro and speaks more languages than C-3PO. He consults Catholic priest almost as often as Buddha -- betting on multiple horses, are we? -- oh, and he can cook and play the guitar like no-one can. If you're looking for tragedy, it's there too. The man is a sad example of someone suffering from an identity crisis: he wants to be a black man, an Italian, an Asian and an Inuit, all at the same time. Unfortunately, he's just a white man, ain't that a shame? Moreover, he's surrounded by people who serve only as decoration or to put stress on how awesome he really is by failing in almost everything they do. Understand please that things aren't exactly facilitated when a cheap sound stage has to substitute for a Chinese, Parisian or Russian neighbourhood, and when people looking at the sky are basically looking at a poor CGI job because even the skies are too expensive for a Steven Seagal film. And for those of us who really can't make out any of this highly intellectual stuff, there's fortunately the kind voice-over lady, explaining how she crossed paths with this marvellous man once and will never forget about it. To finish it all off, there's the generic CASIO keyboard score, good enough to fill in the blanks when Seagal's awesomeness diverted your attention away from the complicated story.

    So you see, when feeling ill, Steven Seagal is the cure! I'm feeling better already and I'm only one film in. I still have the whole weekend to go! Steven Seagal, my saviour.

    Here's something to have a really good time with:

    Me I am a cheeky humble postman! Going back to one of my old deliveries as the guy who replaced me has been hospitalised due to a bite. And it wasn't even a dog. Be nice to see a lot of old customers as a lot are elderly and sadly the Postie is most likely the only bit of company that some of them see on a daily basis.

    No work for the weekend so I'll be binge-watching Netflix's 'Ozark' and awaiting the next episode of 'Game of Thrones.' Should be a quiet weekend.
