Long-overdue update thingy
I live!
Unfortunately, so do my allergies. Well, perhaps "live" isn't accurate when referring to them, but they definitely make their existence known.
I wish my body fought off allergies as well as it does the medicine designed to treat them.
There is not a single product on the market that both a.) relieves all of my symptoms, and b.) leaves me alert and coherent enough to be somewhat useful for the rest of the day.
I have found some medicinal concoctions that get rid of the symptoms, but they leave me loopy, dizzy, tired, and just generally out-of-it. So it somewhat defeats the purpose, unless I'm going to bed.

I have been something of a media hermit as of late. By that I mean that I have totally failed to witness any live footage of either the Democratic National Convention, the Republican National Convention, or the Summer Olympics. (Not listed in order of importance, mind you.)
This also means that I've been a bit short-handed in the chit-chat department.
Person: "So, did you happen to see the--"
Me: "Nope. Sorry."
I'm thinking of going to the movies later, since it's been a while since I've seen one. Even though I know the ending to "The Village", I'm half-tempted to see it anyway, since I've seen all of M. Night Shamalyan's other movies, and I'm curious as to how he lead up to the ending. (Sometimes his movies are better the second time around. Not always, but sometimes.)

I had more to say, of course, but I'm really hungry (thanks in part to an old entry of Rowyn's involving sausage gravy). So maybe I'll update again later. Wow, there's a bizarre notion: two LJ entries by me within the same month! The mind scrabbles. Or boggles. One of those word games, anyway.
In closing, I just want to say that I wish I could go see TMBG in Atlanta, when they perform with the infamous Homestar Runner puppet. That would be weird. Seriously.
