I don't know what my aunt was whining about--I mailed off my visa application last Friday (although getting everything in order and notarized and buying bulldog clips AT the post-office was a bit of a hassle,) and got it back in the mail today in my passport, so, what, six days? She was telling me horror-stories of how she'd phone the consulate ( Read more... ) -

Frickitty frick frick. Typhoid pills are doing a number on my system. All joints are in screaming pain, digestion is shot to hell and I could easily sleep for two days straight at this point--fatigue seems chronic. -
Now Comes With Two More Holes Than Nature First Intended!
So I got my shots--polio and hepatitis A--everything else I got at school at some point.
Rabies-- "No need. Just avoid dogs and monkeys. Monkeys are surprisingly vicious creatures." So said the doctor.
I'm on an oral vaccine for the next eight days for typhoid--so I've got live typhoid in capsules sitting in the back of my fridge, on top of the cream ( Read more... ) -
This is just to say
I have eaten
the half a sesame bagel
that was in
the toaster.
and which
you were probably
saving
for...something.
Wait, tell me--
it tasted normal;
if a little bland
and quite cold.
No, seriously?
Why would you
just leave
a bagel (or half of one)?
What was
wrong with it?
Moldy? Stale?
Who LEAVES half a toasted bagel?
A bagel is a pretty hefty thing. You don't start in ( Read more... ) -

So I've bought more DVDs. I can't seem to stop.
A Little Princess, The Ten Commandments and The Secret Garden are in the mail from Amazon. (Hodgson fangirl and CAST OF THOUSANDS!)
And then, today I go into the 7-11 on Douglas with Ruth. Haven't been in a 7-11 in ages.

A Note from Your Friendly Neighbourhood Barista
Dear People:
I do not sell Iced Capps or Frappuchinos, and the words Double Double and Venti mean NOTHING to me.
Once we get ice in, I sell smoothies, iced chai, and mocha frappes. No brand names. Frappes are rather bitter.
I don't have whipped cream or chocolate sprinkles--we make no money off that and space is at a premium here.
I have a small and a ( Read more... ) -
Something Very Stupid.
Must be coming off the end of the espresso-high (almost 14 hours later?) because I'm tempted to do Something Very Stupid right now.
No, really.
I mean, I can tell right now--it's Very Stupid.
Yet I still really want to do it.
I can't even tell you what it is. It is That Stupid.
Don't worry--I don't think I will.
I'm just a little ashamed of myself that I ( Read more... ) -
Rental store had a used DVD blow-out sale going...
-Shadows in the Sun (Harvey Keitel and Tuscan scenery, need I ask for more?)

-The Passion of the Christ (My Dad's been talking big game about this movie ever ( Read more... )
