to write?
I think i may start this journal back up again. Why? Mainly because I've had a strong desire to complain lately, but not to burden anyone with my bitchin. So that is what this is good for, right? I think so.
I have been sick for the past week and a half. Actually, I've sort of been sick for the past month and a half, if you count a tonsilectomy as being sick. I do. After more than a week of this nonsense, I got angry today, and decided not to "rest" until I beat this unearthly swarm of germs and bacteria that is no doubt establishing a cozy colony in my person. I WILL NOT rest. I'm super-loading myself with both vitamins and herbs alike, ranging from the ever-popular mulivitamin, to the "Kids" nutrient-loaded OJ, to the famous "Airbourne". In between all the nutrients I'm flooding out my system with Gatorade, apple juice, water, V8...I demand these germs leave my body. It's MY body, damnit. Only my psyche gets to live here. I'm tired of feeling tired because these germs are demanding the attention of my anitbodies...which seem to have gone on hiatus. I will flush out these nasty germs, win back the affection of my immune system, and take precaution to never get sick again. Sort of. I hope.
I have to get over this now. I have to leave for New York on Friday, and between now and then i have to find a dress (that I haven't been able to find in two weeks of shopping), a new outfit, and pack and all of that jazz. Oh yeah, and still have energy for this wedding across the country. Possible?
Money hates me as of late. He's been moping around the house and continually puts his head on my leg wanting to just *do* something. I haven't been able to take him to the park or discgolfing because of this sickness. Hopefully when i get back from New York, there will still be lots of time to spend with him before school starts.
I took my dryer apart tonight. I thought it was making a funny noise, so i decided to get in there and check it out. I've never taken a dryer apart, but I know they're fairly simple inside if you can understand basic mechanics and, lets just say, I'm not "scared" to take something apart to fix it. Just because i don't know how something works doesn't mean I can't take it apart and figure it out. I've always liked that about myself. I'm a tactile learner, and I'm not afraid to just...do things. I fixed my washing machine like that. Fixed the agitator. When you figure something out like that, well, it sort of makes you feel like you can do anything. If only I could disect computers like I can a washing machine. Oh well. ANYWAYS, I took the dryer apart and found that while the main drive belt is worn, it is still ok for now. However, It will probably need to be replaced in the near future. I also managed to DROP my screwdriver down the lint chute and had to take WAY more apart than was originally necessary-resulting in much swearing and a sore toe from kicking the damn thing. Anyways, i got the screwdriver out. Consequently, I later figured out that the crazy noise i was hearing was coming from the vent hose...not requiring any tinkering with the dryer at all. But...nevertheless, it was fun, I learned about how dryers work, and what to do if you drop something down your lint chute. I'm quite sure I'll be able to replace that belt later, too.
Tomorrow I must email about auditions, and go to the mall in Fort Worth, practically the only mall in the metroplex I haven't visited yet. Let's see, i've been to Denton, of course, Grapevine, Frisco, Plano, Dallas, and the Galleria. Aparently, this "transition" time of year between summer and fall is the WORST time to go dress shopping. I guess I'm too picky. No...I guess what's "in" in fashion sucks right now. I don't want a dress that looks like a blouse. I want a dress that looks like a DRESS, and not some floosy, hippie ensemble that doesn't show my figure at all...I mean, seriously, what IS with all these Peasant, above-knee "things"? Do people really want to look like they have no shape at all? Or is it fashion's anwser to the rising population in teen pregnancy? They should make a Guiness commercial about them: "A dress that doubles as a maternity shirt! Brilliant!" There's the problem with America's youth! We are pushing clothing on our young girls that both shows too much and covers up the mistake at the same time! Well f*ck you, fashion industry. You, like every other industry continues to screw over the American people in the name of capitalism. Supply and demand. Well I DEMAND that you SUPPLY some decent clothing for a change! Damnitt! Why am I the only one complaining about this? Not only can I not find a decent dress to wear around my inlaws, but shopping as a whole presents a complete moral dilemma! I don't want to support such an industry that cares nothing for the buyer. And I know once I actually find a dress I'm happy with, all will be forgotten...for now. I guess I should just learn to roll with the punches of society like everyone else.
Whatever. David Duchovny's new show "Californication" is premering on Showtime tonight. I heard the plot really sucks; all he does is have as many sex scenes that a 30 minute time slot will allow. the first episode supposedly has 3. There's that supply and demand again :)... I guess i'll try and catch it, but really, Duchovny is getting old... He's not hot Mulder anymore.
Perhaps...later.
