Riding the wave
The cold medicine wave. Well, no, strictly speaking, I don't have a cold. Strictly speaking, I don't get colds. But cold medicine has decongestants, pain killers, cough suppressants--- it's good for what I do get. It's a lovely process where for the first hour, you wait for it to kick in.

Today, I'm happy that my evening plans are cancelled and that I can go hang out with my humidifier and a medicine cabinet full of over-the-counter drugs. I freaking hate my allergies.

Movie review
So I watched a movie last night that I don't think will be of general interest. But I'm writing about it in case I'm wrong. And because that's how I keep track of what I think about movies. The movie was "Carolina" (2003) Julia Stiles, Shirley MacLaine, Randy Quaid. It's the story of a girl raised by her outrageous grandmother, who's trying to find ( Read more... ) -

So I'm getting some answers, here and there, and more questions, here and there. And I'm going to try to be patient. Patient with myself, patient with my work, patient with the other people in my life ( Read more... )
