Death and Destruction Everywhere... and now, the weather...

It seems that the death toll from the destruction caused by the tsunami in asia increases by the minute, as far as I can tell it's gone up by over 50,000 people in the last 24 hours - shocking. My uncle is actually currently there on holiday (if you can call it that any more), and there was a bit of worry, but we got news yesterday that he is fine, apparently he was in a bar at the time (at 6am?) and "it's a bit wet". Hopefully he'll be able to get back relatively soon.

Christmas was good, I got a few DVDs including a Futurama box set and my brother kindly got me a shammy leather-type thing for the car - with the gift tag reading "This won't wipe away dents" grr.

I've been spending a bit of time in the kitchen over the last few days, created quite a nice turkey soup from the remainder of the christmas dinner, and tonight I used a can of some madras stuff (which was a bit dire) to make a BurtCurroi, alright, but I shall stick to what I normally make from now on.

I had a really bizarre dream last night.... I dremt that I was kidnapped, but kept in my own room, with the kidnappers using surveillance to keep me where I was (I could see the camera outside my window). After I'd dismantled all the electronic devices in my room to make sure they didn't have cameras in them, I finally escaped across the road to a friends house to call the police, but it was too late, they already knew that I'd left... The lights went off and the phone line went dead.....

Worryingly, I know exactly what this means.
