Things on the home front are quiet. Nothing is going not that is a big deal aside from me cycling, but we have a new med dosage for that. I am looking forward to having D home for the long weekend. I feel like we haven't had time together in a really long time. Nicky is doing better. He is eating 6 or 7 times a day. We started him out on that TessBrianna suggested and from there he just dug in. I still don't see him putting on weight though. He is painfully thin and when I have to hold him down for his IV I worry that I am going to hurt him. But he is getting stronger and he fights fiercely. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want IVs in my back either. In other news we are going to take Deami to the farm this weekend I think. I feel so horrible but he is really not a social cat. He has so many attitude problems. I can wait for years and it won't change. I don't know what to say to Mr. Martin. I will have to tell him the truth but I'm not looking forward to it.
D just told me that I won't be able to get to Comic Con this year.:( Here is where I whine. I never want to go anywhere and the few places I want to go never work out and I am so sick of it. I get dragged to all these bullshit places I never want to go to and I hardly complain at all and then the 2 or 3 places I want to go don't work. Like TBS is in Anaheim on the 6/3 and I won't be able to go because of traffic. It fucking sucks. /end whinge, sorry for the tantrum.
WoW has been fun. I got a sea turtle mount the other day. I love it but it's not a traveling mount really. Well not on land. It is good in the water. I have been working on 50 pets and now I've decided I want 50 mounts too. I'm at a pitiful 12 right now. I'm at 42/50 pets though... that is something. D says I need money to get mounts and it just bums me out some because it makes me realize that I have questing that I can do now but soon it will be nothing but instances and lets face it... that isn't going to bring in all that much. I am going to have my income slow down. I don't know what to think. I do need to do more instances though. I have been doing runs with Mandarb (D), Annäbell, Laureena and Mclaren. I love Mclaren. Next to Anya he is my favorite person in the game. Of course he doesn't know that and it is best that way... I think he would be freaked right out and hide.
I read two trashy romances this week. It's nice to read. I miss it. I have been picking romances because they don't require a whole lot of work or thinking. I have Fragile Eternity here and I am thinking I am going to start it on Tuesday. It's a lot thicker than Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange. Interesting. I can't wait to get back to Seth and Aislinn. I still haven't finished The Vampire Diaries; The Return/Nightfall. I was a little turned off with the direction it was going and I hate Bonnie and so much of the book is from her perspective. Why not Stefan... it is called the VAMPIRE DIARIES. I also noticed on my calendar that Carpe Corpus comes out in two weeks!! New Morganville Vampires. Oh Shane I hope you don't spend the entire book in jail with your dad. I am happy and unsure about where Rachel Caine will go with Morganvile in the next few books. I liked it when Amelie was the unknown evil. I don't like the Bishop story line. I really hope it ends with this book. I also hope that Shane and Claire get a little make out action... she is 17 now. Shane always impied that 17 was the dividing line. Oh Shane... Shane, Shane, Shane.
So I think I want to make some wishes and mayne anyone who reads this could combine their good thoughts and help make my wishes come true, I wish I could go to Comic Con for Thursday and see the New Moon Panel. I wish I could get BlizzCon tickets. I wish that Anya gets WotLK soon so she could hang out with us in Dal. I wish Mand gets a chance to do what he really wants to do. I wish T would come back because I need a break from being in charge. And I wish that I could do more things by myself so that Mand could raid and I could do more than sit and twiddle my thumbs.
Oh and this,,,
Today is Sunday and as usual I am up before D and I want to be a child and jump on the bed and wake him but he has been really tired lately so I refrain. I would like to do a few chores today. Nothing much just small things. Tomorrow I have therapy and that means the day will be shot. And oh how therapy is going to be rough tomorrow. I have a shit ton of neurotic devices to bring to the table... all the downtime when Nielle was here that caused me to shut down. What's going on with Nicky. My not talking to Dr. Scott about the sleeping issues... although some of those have corrected themselves. And I see Dr. Scott this week and I never got my SMA-12 done and lithium level done. We will have to do that tomorrow morning. It looks like I will be going into work with D tomorrow.
So I haven't really given an update to WoW lately. D and I are 80's and have been for almost 2 weeks. I have my JC at 420 and my mining is maxed. Fishing is at 383, cooking at 122 and FA is at 213. I got my Master at Arms for 4 weapons lvled to 400. Anya, D and I have been collecting pets and I have 33 of them... 17 away from the Shop Smart, Shop Petsmart achievement. I am working diligently. I have a game boyfriend who is endorsed by D, his name is Brimm/Brimw. A million years ago he gave me a pet cat in Deadmines and he gave me a mech squirrel last week. I adore him. Today we are going to run Dire Maul... hopefully Anya, D, Brimm, Garvey and me. I would also like to run a lower level instance in Northrend. And I want to work on Iratze and Killsunday. It's a lot of things to do. =/
Today is an inspired entry, 20 things that are good, just to remind myself that not everything sucks. So here I go in no special order.
1. Kitties. They are always good. I think mine are better than yours but kittycat people around the world should gather for the biggest cuddlefest in the known universe.
2. Angel: After the Fall. I like it much better than Season 4 Angel and almost as much as Season 5. It maintains the characterization from the TV show while pushing the limits of the Buffy/Angel-verses. I have to say that it's much better than the Buffy comics which just went places because they no longer had to deal with the limitations of the known budget and believability. 50 ft. Dawn and Lesbian Buffy, my ass.
3. BOOKS. Where do I start. I feel like my time on earth screws with my ability to read as much as I possibly could. There are too many good books. So hard to imagine a world without them. I think they are so much better than food and air. Books are true necessities.
4. Awake is the New Sleep by Ben Lee. I love this CD. I could listen to it on repeat for hours or not listen to it for a month and it always gives me the same warm and tinglies no matter what. I just don't get how Ben Lee can be so amazing and still be a mere mortal.
5. Lentil Loaf or Rice Loaf. The one thing I really miss about not eating meat is meatloaf. Lentil/rice loaf is a pretty good substitute. I wish I had it more often.
6. Diet Snapple. I'm a big fan of the Peach, Lemon and Raspberry and haven't tried the Plumagranite. Is that what it's called. Now I embarrassed myself not knowing the name of it.
7. The Gap. I am a Gap girl. I love it. I wish that the workers weren't such nazis but I can handle my own, sort of. Fall. Into. The. Gap.
8. Tide pools/Sea stars. I could spend all day at the ocean looking for sea life at the tide pools. There are days when I count how many sea stars we can find... the most was 14. I wish I could find the picture Aaron took with me and the giant sea star in Carpinteria.
9. 300. I don't know exactly what I love about this movie but I do, sincerely, love something about it. I know the humor is a bit stick to your ribs but it makes me giggle everytime. Gerard Butler is fantastic and it has Michael Fassbender in it and I think there is something about him. I loved him in Hex too.
11. Raspberries. I like to eat them out of the container, with little to no ceremony. An entire 6 oz plastic tray is barely enough for me. I also get raspberry iced teas from Iso: Fusion Cafe and it is made from syrup of raspberries. Mmmmmm.
12. Robert Pattinson. I loved this photo, even if the movie was trivial and incomprehensible. I stand behind this man as a talented actor and a formidable Edward Cullen. Like raspberries... he's yummy too.
13. Spoons. No one could have too many. Spoons are glorious. The only things that compete with them are straws. Spoons rock.
14. Veggie rolls, no wasabi, with extra ginger. I like Mika sushi as well as Iso for nearby places to go. I don't like it when wasabi is included in the pies. I really abhor it.
15. Barnes and Noble/Borders/Amazon. This sort of leads us back into number 3, but these are places not things. These three places are akin to Mecca. I just wish that they were more giving with their pricing of things. I guess they try with all the coupons and discounts, but books shouldn't be so expensive. Don't anyone bring up libraries... it's like prostitution for books. I like them being mine and mine alone.
16. Bubble Bath. Nothing better than cool baths when it is warm and hot baths when you are cold. I love bubble baths to death. I run the water to a decent level and read until the water becomes room temperature. I don't even notice how long I am in there until I realize that I've read so many pages. *sigh*
17. Fireworks. LOVE THEM. They remind me a lot of home. The 4th of July was always a family event. Family being me and my mom. I make sure we go to fireworks every year just so that I won't lose the sense of family while I am so far away.
18. Fountains and waterfalls. Maybe it's just water or could be the facade of happy waters. I do like rivers and oceans too. I am constantly taking pictures of water. Just today I took a pair of photos for my assignment from Dr. Moore, of a fountain.< Worst construction of a sentence commited in a long, long, long time.
19. Root beer. I know it is points damning but I love knee high bottles of Route 66, Sioux City, Boylan's, etc... I love Galco and I could spend hundreds of dollars there in no time.
20. Volvo commercial with the terribly adorable chatterbox little girl. I love her to death. If I were guaranteed to to have one just like her, I might explore other options.
It's 3:21, there is no reason to be awake. And the pathetic yawn my body produces as I state this is no consolation.
Happy Thanksgiving. Woohoo. Today will be the first Thanksgiving in ... years that I haven't cooked. To further the unusual of it, I awoke to think we should be roadtripping somewhere up the PCH. Cambria you whore for having stolen my heart and then never moved closer to LA.
Now, the tired is setting back in. A lovely feeling indeed. I don't even really feel like this entry was a committed one now. But I will post some photos.
I'll tag them later. Dreamtime is waiting.
So today was piggedly wiggedly. I was up, I was down. I was disappointed by the lack of packages in my mailbox. Disappointed in the way time seemed to pass me no matter my intentions. I'm sluggish, defeated. I had Leslie cut my hair. I took a bath, but I'm swimming in this sludge. I can't pull it together... but it's not even falling apart.
So I napped.
I woke up because Matilda came by and was looking for company but I was sleeping and D didn't want to wake me. Matilda didn't care. She was loud and after I couldn't get back to sleep.
I wandered out to the livingroom and D and I started watching things. Happily, The Office and Grey's came on and I love Jim, Dwight, McDreamy and Meredith. Can you hear the sigh of the inner histrionic? I played some on Manic, Bookmooch, uploaded stuff to YouSendIt, looked over my Last.fm. I'm restless? No... more like searching without a goal. Is that restless?
I intended to make a post about yesterday this morning and then wrote to Nielle before I did. So I'm going to just cut and paste my email to her in here.
***posting***
Hey, sorry I didn't write yesterday. D and I woke up and went to the
101 cafe. I was muddy-headed and as I loped in I swung the door open
and hit the person behind me. We walked in to the seating area and the
woman I hit, who was still behind me greeted someone else and moved by
us. I noticed at that point that I assaulted Kate Walshe who plays
Addison Shepard on Greys Anatomy. She looks freakily the same as the
character on the show... you know red headed with a side of BITCH.
So then we went to Target and I got an awesome new sweater and we got sheets. We came home and cleaned and my bedroom is so so so pretty now. We also moved around the livingroom. We watched a bunch of TV and I worked on a crapload of photos. We went to shower at like 2am and I stayed in the tub until 4 reading. I got out and started writing. Which meant I should provide you with a first and last paragrph as promised.
Men don't think about the particulars of apartment complex decor until it is unavoidable. Oddly enough, my current circumstance had me redecorating the lobby of the Shangrai Lodge with a longing most men save for the undressing of catholic school girls. I couldn't help but wish for some strategically place faux ficus as I embarressingly stood outside of apartment 109, hoping that in some odd planetary mishap earth was now unpopulated and there would be no witness to my shame.
...
That explained alot.
So I passed out while writing so the last paragraph was... not.
After sleeping for 4 hours I woke up to my phone. Julie was sending over an electrician to see to the not working plug in our apartment. Since I have been sitting here making the wedding ribbon shadow boxes I've been meaning to make for 2 months now.
I think my plans for today are going to inventory a crap load
of books on bookmooch, work on some more photos. D said we should have
the wedding site up this evening. We also have been talking a load
about my site and the new manic. We are going to watch a bunch of what
I have on my Tivo and some of the stuff I've downloaded. I have season
2 of Queer as Folk to watch.
***end email***
And pictures to boot.
3 from the Wedding...
