nothing edifying

You mighta noticed I stuck an ad on my blog. Ironically, part of why I chose Blogger was the lack of ads — I don’t mind the little bar on top. But well, this last month, I spent more than I made! Not that that’s hard, but still! So yeah, I know I know, the amount I’m currently spending on like the domain (which I’m not doing anything with yet) and flickr is not v. much. I’m being all penny-wise, pound-stupid. But anyhows, it’s one step. Maybe this blog can be the hobby/interest/whatevers that doesn’t involve me freaking Yut out with my lack of budgeting clue/capabilities:p So thanks to everyone who click, no worries if you don’t.

Last night, right before bed, we started Million Dollar Baby which was quite good, but quite long and also, it made me cry which made it hard to go to sleep cos my nose was full of snot. Lovely imagery, yes? :)

This morning I had a dentist appointment at 8am which is early, but then I don’t have to worry about brushing my teeth — I’m efficient that way:p Or something.

So yeah, tired.

I wanna talk about Civ (on Fri night Sat morning, we stayed up til 7am!) and DDR: Mario Mix (we’re playing a lot), but I can’t string together enough coherent or insightful or whatevers thoughts. More later maybe:p

Update:
Yut shared his lunch with me — a turkey sandwich. Turkey! Oh, the food coma:p

It’s already started: it’s 3:25AM, we’ve both got work tomorrow, and we only just managed to stop saying “1 more turn!” (Don’t know how we managed:p)

Gonna pay for this tomorrow. Oh wait, I mean TODAY!

Also, I’ve lots of pictures to post up and other stuff but I keep not quite getting around to it. Gah!!!

I was playing Civ IV (more on that later) and watching The Apprentice: Martha Stewart when I heard, “…you can talk Internet with our Internet Department.”

I had no idea Martha Stewart Omnimedia had an Internet Department! But it sounds like a Good Thing:)

Sushi at Kirala — Tonight!

I can hardly wait, haven’t been for a long time. Months!!! I keep peeking at the time, more so than usual:)

But also, I’m going to go check EB Games for the gajillionth time this week to ask about Civ IV and DDR Mario Mix. They’re starting to recognize me there.

Has anyone gotten their hands on either yet? Does anyone even care? :p

Well, it’s gotten just a tad too cool to continue wearing flip flops every day. But I like slip-on shoes… so I got clogs:)

Plain, but I think they suit me.

I’ve somehow managed to catch a cold… It started out with just a headache and itchy throat and 1 runny nostril (which wasn’t so bad cos then at least I could breathe) but has now progressed to coughing fits mostly. So I guess I’m getting better, except the coughing is actually more annoying cos it interrupts my sleep. Doooooood!!! V. bad — you know how I feel about sleep! It’s one of my talents! My loves!

This morning one of my coughing fits woke me up at around 9AM. The coughs interrupted this crazy dream where I was picking up my mom and sister to go meet up for dinner. Somehow, there were three cars involved (I didn’t recognize them… my parents and sister share two cars and I don’t own one), and we were leaving two of them in a parking lot and driving together. My mom told me which car we were going to drive, but I kept on heading over to the wrong car, so she finally yelled at me, but I mean, three cars!!! So after we got that situation sorted out, and I finally opened the doors of the car, there was a cat in the backseat; no one recognized it and it wouldn’t move. CT finally moved to get the cat out of the car so we could get going, but the cat scratched her and bit her, and that finally shook me out of my stupor and chopsticks magically appeared in my hand. I used them to poke the cat far away enough so it wouldn’t get hurt when we drove away. I looked back at my sister and her hand was bleeding and I said, “Errr, we should get that cleaned,” but we were running late and so she said it was ok and we should get going. I told her that I had bandages in my purse. Then, I started to cough which woke me up. My first thought, even as I was coughing was, “I wonder if I have Neosporin in my purse… but wait, that won’t do any good if the cat had rabies…” Waking up at 9am is just too damn early:p Actually, I don’t remember the last time I was up so early during the weekend without prior plans… and it’s clear that I shouldn’t:D

I know I said that I wanted the Arrested Development Season 1 DVD like forever ago (ok, it was May:p), but I finally got around to ordering it. And since Season 2 is out, I got that, too:) Easy decision! Not only is Arrested Development one of the funniest things on tv, it’s actually better to watch a bunch in a row. We like to save like 5 on our Replay, then watch ‘em all together:) Also, Amazon has a deal where if you buy seasons 1 and 2 together, you get 10 bucks off. Ooooh yes!

And it arrived this week:)

Schiphol is the Amsterdam Airport. Doooood… So that’s what it takes! Did y’all notice the flies misa or neb? :)

There is nothing like it for headaches. Also, no substitution will do — I tried a Walgreen’s brand (cos usually they’re all the same stuff anyway) which will do for mild headaches, but for a really bad one? It’s gotta be Excedrin. I took two Walgreen’s Extra Strength Headache Relief stuff last night, but it did no good. I ended up taking 2 Excedrin on top of them:p (Dude, I should totally be an Excedrin spokesperson!)

I think Elizabeth Barrett Browning said it best:

Sonnet LXIII

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Except maybe the last line. After I’m dead, I doubt I’ll give a shit about Excedrin.
…Did I just mess up my chances of being an Excedrin spokesperson???
