Things man should not wot of.

I went to the doctor and guess what she told me? Guess what she told me? She said, girl, you've got an irritable bowel caused by those stupid antibiotics I gave you 6 weeks ago.

Okay, so it doesn't scan as well as Sinead O Connor, but you get the gist. Also. Constant nibbling on Matzo's didn't help. They're made of wheatflour you see, and only helped irritate my lower intestine more. I was eating them as an attempt to keep the nausea at bay, but was inadvertently making matters worse. So I'm on a wheat free diet for a few weeks, and things are a lot better already. My friend gave me some capsules that contain 1.5 billion gut-inhabiting microorganisms, yes 1.5 billion. That's the entire population of the world in just four pills. I've always believed that the universe exists in the nucleus of a cell in some other being's fingertip. Don't know why, the idea just appeals. I like to bend my brain by trying to imagine unimaginable scale.

By the way, for those living in Britain, Rasputin is on on Sunday night, starring none other that our very own Alan Rickman. 12.10am on BBC2.
