uurgghhh
Man, that thing I mentioned last week about not being able to get comfortable in my own body, it's gotten worse. Very uncomfortable, very painful past few days. Went to doctor last night for tests: surprise, no sign of anything, and no idea what it is! WHY. WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN. WHY CAN'T WE TREAT (or even identify!) ANY MALADY.

blah!
Ugh. What a week, and it's only Wednesday. All week I've been bone-tired, nauseated, and irritable. And I can't get comfortable in my own body.

halftime
I can't stop watching this clip.1 I'm not sure what game this is from, but yes, up-the-wall backflip will always be the best and only option for evading chainsaws. And what a perfect soundtrack ( Read more... )
