My neck is so stiff, I can hardly move without pain. I left work early today, and I'm seriously considering seeing a doctor (my workplace wants a doctor's note even if we only stay home for a day) if it's worse tomorrow. Or the same, really. I'm applying heat with the cute cherry stone pillow that I got from _bettina_ once. It helps a bit, but only while it ( Read more... )

Errol died. Peacefully, I hope ( Read more... )

I feel like a teenager. I met a guy at okcupid.com. He seems nice in the few messages that we've sent so far, and I think we could click even more if we got to know each other better. Now he's asked for my number so we could actually talk. But I don't know. I'm bad at phone calls, and I do feel a bit uncomfortable giving out my phone number to ( Read more... )

Last night I stayed up in bed reading for a while before going to sleep. My bedroom window was propped open and there were these weird half snoring, half gurgling noises outside. They didn't sound human but I thought, well, if it's an injured dog or something, or a wild boar, I should tell someone, so I got a flashlight. Turns out it was two ( Read more... )

Poll My sister and I are going to spend our summer vacation in England (her boyfriend has just started working and isn't allowed to take days off yet). What a surprise. We use London as a starting point but we'll travel around and only come back there the day after the flight home. There's a train ticket that's fairly ( Read more... )

I'm in the middle of season 2 of Dawson's Creek. I used to watch it when it was on tv, but I can't remember: Have if I always felt the urge to bash in Joey Potter's head? All she seems to do is break up with people because she needs to find herself first but an episode later she dates the next remotely interesting guy (or Dawson) who comes along. ( Read more... )

Guess who'll have internet at her new apartment, soon! Before going on vacation, even. At least Jan, the nice guy on the hotline said so. I'll believe it when someone's standing on my doorstep, wanting to exchange the socket. I think this time the chances of it happening are quite good, though. Also, the living room gets closer and closer to being ( Read more... )

Since my parents are on vacation, I've been sporadically at their house these past few days. Still don't have internet at the new apartment, although I must admit that I haven't yet called the cable company again. Suckers. I thought they wanted new customers. Also, yes, I admit, I'm totally dragging my dirty dishes here to use the dishwasher. I ( Read more... )
