- um. how did I somehow forget that the first few episodes of The West Wing Season 2 make me cry my eyes out? this was maybe not my best idea ever.

went to the doctor today and got my results from the colonoscopy. I have ulcerative colitis which is basically an inflammation in the large intestine. it has no real known cause, although certain foods can aggrevate it. there is no cure. there is however management of symptoms and a very real possibility of long periods of remission. it is by far not the worst news I could have gotten but it's still a little much to process. I will have yet more medications to take and the diet recommendations pretty much are in direct conflict with the diet recommendations for my diabetes. so that's fun. I think I'm going to try and work it out on my own, but I may end up needing to see a nutritionist, just to get myself sorted out. we shall see.
- I started reading The Hunger Games last night. I know I'm like the last person to read these books. I've only read a few pages, but I like the narrative voice so far.
- I've been passing time at work and on my drive to/from work by indulging in some of the most ridiculous Mary Sue fantasies ever about one Mr. Cumberbatch. mostly we just hang out together and drink coffee and talk about feminist representations in the media and which of the Twilight movies is the best. I would be embarrassed but I don't remember what shame is.
- some day I will stop listening to angsty John/Sherlock mixes. today is not that day. tomorrow isn't looking real good either. :)
