I've had a pleasant day, on the whole. The cookout was verra verra nice, with yummy steaks (gotta teach the O of zihuatenejo the meaning of "rare" but mine was tender and tasty anyway. ;>) and lots of other delicious food, and good company ( Read more... )

I'm working on homework. On a Sunday night, a week and a half ahead of its due date. The world must really be coming to an end. Consider yourselves warned. It's more Humanities Resources questions, but at least this week it's good stuff-- Visual Arts! Yay! Amazing how much easier it is to find answers when you have a clue. I am still amused, ( Read more... )

It's been a pleasant day. No migraine, and I got the Mac to the Genius Bar for analysis. That turned out to be almost fun. It turns out that there wasn't really anything wrong with the computer, just... well, okay, see, I am bad to drip stuff onto my keyboard, especially with a little help from my furry friends, so I bought one of those plastic ( Read more... )

A couple of days back I looked through my scribal storage cabinet, looking for a specific scroll that I had started but not finished. I didn't find that one, but I did find a very large ziplock bag with several scrolls in it that Geneveieve started years ago before she quit playing, and had given me the last time I saw her, asking that I finish or ( Read more... )

Or maybe I should just say, F*%#n' A. I just saw The Departed, because I read really good reviews of it. Okay, and I'll admit to the eye-candy aspect. In this regard, I was mostly considering Matt Damon, because Leo DiCaprio always seemed too.... young. Unformed. I thought that about Matt Damon, too, till I saw Bourne Identity. Yow. Let me just say ( Read more... )

I wound up staying in on New Year's Eve-- I watched Pirates of the Carribbean, Ocean's Twelve, and Bourne Supremacy. Yum. They's some pretty men in them thar movies. I was amused at Depp in this POTC-- he was practically flaming in some scenes. Not exactly what I would have thought he was going for, especially with the rather thorough kiss he laid ( Read more... )

My wekend has been....well, it's had its moments, both good and bad. I've had a migraine for four days now-- at this point it seems like forever. It's been one of the rare ones with overtones of nausea, and the sucker just won't quit. The meds have mostly knocked out the pain, but I'm left with the side effect of feeling not quite there ( Read more... )

It's been an entertaining weekend. I volunteered at Ten Thousand Villages on Saturday for three hours, and it was busy the entire time. I worked the register and by the end of the shift I was exhausted-- and I only worked three hours. I can't imagine working an 8-hour shift at a register ( Read more... )

I suppose saying I'm "feeling better" may not sound like much, given where I started out, but hey-- better is better. I'll take it. I've been to the drugstore and got all my meds ($170, and that isn't even the end of them this month. Holy shit.) I've spent most of the time I've been home today online, catching up with this and that. Most of that ( Read more... )

Sooooo.... today I decided to watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Loved the book, love Johnny Depp, how can we go wrong? I think I must not have been in the mood or something. For one thing, Mr Depp looked entirely too much like Hunter S. Thompson (yes, I know that was the idea, but geez. Who would YOU rather look at?) They were doing a really ( Read more... )
