It's the blood pressure, dammit.

Mutterings continued.

160/94.  Not good, however the medication I've been on has been making me feel worse so I've been put on a lower dose.  The ringing in the ears is normal - just one of the hairs in the cochlea making its presence known.

Bloody awful day, weather-wise.  We walked down to the cafe for lunch and came back via the African Savannah and past the orangs.  The baby gibbon was incredibly lively, playing with the troops' tails, rolling down the bank, running up trees.  And all the orangs were sitting on the tops of their towers, in the wind, with their blankets and hessian bags wrapped around them.  One of the girls was standing up on her tower with a blue blanket over her head and wrapped around her shoulders - she looked like a very hairy Virgin Mary.

Hellboy is available from Allvcd for US$8.50.  Comes complete with Malay and Chinese subtitles.  Tempting.

Evil Amazon.ca is now trying to get me to buy the Babylon 5 movies for CDN$52 and free postage.
