Here's some photos of my trip to Malawi, as the group have now started uploading photos to me at last!

Wierder than all the rest, this dream's insane. Perhaps it's time to be thankful that I only remember fragments … -
Back From Malawi
Yay! I'm back in Aberystwyth!
For my next task, I'm going to have to sift through over 7 hours of video footage of my trip, to produce DVDs for the consumption of the cycling team. Which is nice.
It feels good to be back in Aber (it feels good not to be eating nsima!). To give me … -

Owing to Kenya Airlines being arsey, Dan will now be home Monday, instead of Wednesday! Yaaaaay! Pity they couldn't do their tour of Zambia as well as Malawi, but it means he'll be home early. I'm going to pick him up from Preston. If … -
Off To Malawi!
I'm off to Malawi!
I've found my bus ticket (stupid train strikes), my passport (stupid immigration laws), my juggling balls (stupid... no, wait... juggling is good)... I guess I'm ready to go.
Contrary to my assumption that my bus would be leaving from the bus station, it's apparently leaving from Plascrug... which is... somewhere... hmm...
Anyway, y'all, take … -
Pre-Malawi Update
Here's the state of play before I leave Aber for awhile, in answer to all the questions that people keep on asking me and that therefore I ought to answer in a centralised manner, here, to save them from doing so (and me from repeatedly having to say the same replies):
Yes, I leave for Malawi … -
The Doctor That DOESN’T Just Tell You What You Want To Hear
I went to the doctor this morning to discuss the side-effects of the lariam tablets. I'd made the appointment just a week ago, when I was still having weird mood swings and not being able to sleep, like, at all. Since my last tablet, though, last Tuesday, I've been pretty much fine: nothing worse than …

Lariam Dream The Fourth
Perhaps the most disturbing dream yet since I started on this weird medication. And I promise you that if you know the people starring in it, you'll be scared, too...

Calling In Sick
[this post has been partially damaged during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004, and it has been possible to recover only a part of it]
Feel rotten. And I'm supposed to be back at work, today. Called in sick, especially apologetically.
Had another lariam-induced mood swing yesterday, and became especially grotty to people, so went … -

Another weird dream last night. Surprisingly similar 'cast' to some previous ones.
Some friends and I, and my mum, are … -

Another somewhat trippy-themed dream since I've been under the influence of lariam:
I am at my mum's house, and I'm watching some live … -
Mood Swings

Fucking hell; this stuff is weird.
For those who might think to the contrary; no, it's not usual for me to snap at something which wouldn't usually have bothered me, … -
My Final Exam… Like… Ever
[this post has been partially damaged during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004, and it has been possible to recover only a part of it]
I feel kind of odd. And no, I'm not just referring to my (still kind-of burny) Lariam headache:
I've just had my final exam. And I mean ever.
I know I'm … -
Lariam Dream The First
I'd been warned that this stuff could give you weird dreams. Last night I dreamt entirely in anime. Which is pretty impressive, I thought. I was a character in a Studio Ghibli-esque anime flick (it was dubbed, so I was moving my mouth in Japanese and somebody else's voice came out in English - the …

Lariam
This stuff is seriously trippy. Since mid-afternoon I've felt nauseous. Now I have a killer headache (paracetamol seems to be kicking in, now, though), and I can hear a whistling in my right ear. I'm still in the list of side-effects I don't need to tell my doctor about, so all's well.
Weird stuff, though. I …
