Supplies!

"Surprise." Get it? Ah well.
So it's summer time again, my apathy is now a wee bit more present as it responds well to heat apparently. and things seem pretty bleh. Met a few people through myspace.com....and I guess I'm fairly pleased. Meeting people is sort of nice, especially when I can exercise the process of it in a controlled environment. Josh and, to a far lesser extent, I have been buying a lot of sandwich stuffs. It seems fairly economic, for the most part, and sammiches are tasty. We've also discussed buying plants. Semi seriously. We discovered we like a little green, and most of the time our patio space does seem pretty wrecked, so I'm pretty for the whole idea. I stand to make a little money from my mother, because she's selling the last bit of land she owns in New Mexico. I'm fairly pleased, but I know I'll end up spending some of it responsibly. Damn it. I've also noticed that people around me seem a little irrational lately. Which means I guess I am being a little irrational too if it's the weather...Which I think is a strong contributor. This doesn't apply to all my friends, but It's something I've noticed. Denton feels like a soup most of the time now, and I don't know whether to walk out of my apartment, or dog paddle. It's been slightly better today.
A note to cainnum. Star Wars was highly decent. I loved it compared to the last two films, but the discontinuity, and the abrupt inclusion of elements that don't impact the plot made me weary. Good action, some surprisingly decent acting, and a better sense of pacing all made this movie stand out above the last two installments. I, even in my Star Wars Trivial Pursuit glory, still can't give it much higher marks though. It also disappoints me....Because George Lucas used to be so much better. Maybe it's because he has kids now, or maybe it's because he's just older.......But the movies lacked a certain amount of depth. There are some noticeable exceptions in this movie.....Such as the solid performance by Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine, but it still showed some very rough edges. Otherwise, I really don't have many complaints. I'll probably end up seeing it again at some point. Today I made chicken spaghetti for lunch. It was ok. Salute!

Laughter is a four letter word.

So if you're like me, chances are you have friends out there who just dont agree with certain things you find funny. For example, I really love Spaceballs. But I have a friend that looks at m
e like I said something like "Hitler really had a few good ideas there" every time I reveal this.
I used to like, hide the stupid shows I liked. Oh yeah, I should point that out.....There are somethings that I have laughed at for several minutes, that I will in no way try to defend as anything other as just plain dumb. For example, The New Guy with DJ Squalls. There's a scene where a guy turns from his friends and runs DIRECTLY into a pole. Slapstick. Baseless slapstick. And still I laughed. I should point out that this also got a snort from the friend who gave me a disapproving look for enjoying Spaceballs. I love Who's Line Is It Anyway? I like the first 3 seasons of The Drew Carey Show, I enjoy Cheers in a slightly amused fashion, I used to love SNL during the Phil Hartman years, I liked News Radio, I laugh at Family Guy. Screw it, I also like Harvey Birdman, Sealab 2021, The Venture Bros. , Steve Martin Movies, Tenacious D, and dear god in heaven I also laugh a little at Everybody Loves Raymond on occasion. I'm not defending or condemning any of the things I've just said.....it's just stuff that I find funny regardless of what other people think. Im down with laughter. I love it. I think it's better than hate, and not as emotionally full time as being sad. It's why I try to at least make people smile on my blog. People deserve to get a chuckle. So if you think something is funny, and other people don't get it, throw a pie in their faces if that's yo thang. Later.

"OooOooOOooOo"

Ok. Ok. I don't want to freak out any body with what I'm about to lay down here.....but check this out: In your Yahoo! Mail? There's this rather amazing word you can click on. That word, is Empty. The amazing part, is that this word can be found next to.....your Bulk Mail folder. Well, I'll just say it - I'm floored. I had no idea this option existed. All this time, I've been "Next page, *click*, Next Page, *click*"ing my way through my internet mail. Sure, sure. Laugh if you wish. Heck, In a while I'll probably join you. Right now though....I feel kind of like the chimps in 2001 about 5 seconds after touching the monolith. The universe still makes about as much sense to me as different color game boys, but I still feel this post epiphany glow. If all the people reading this already knew about this amazing feature, then....why didn't you tell me? To which I tell myself I think I know the answer. It's because some part of each of you out there...Realizes how cool this feature is. You just take it for granted now. For shame! I know it's not that big a deal. Rationally, I know this. But good god, how frickin' awesome. I have to go now. I need to see if I have any bulk mail in my folder since I discovered this new feature something like 20 minutes ago. Bulk mail. You are now my biatch.

Focus

So my vision isn't so hot lately. It's pretty annoying. It's hard to focus completely anymor. Which of course makes me paranoid. That's really going the distance for those who know me, because i'm already pretty paranoid. I'm trying to sleep more. It's been made difficult this last few days because with my cold I cant get much air. Occasionally I'm sloooooowly trying new things. Josh is helping as best he can, or rather as much as i'll let him....but it's nice to have the support. I'm trying the multi-vitamin thing, doing some thought exercises, generally trying to stimulate myself just a little bit more. "See what develops" plan of action. I know I'm blowing things out of proportion slightly, but not as much as people who know me well might think. I've taken the wait and see attitude to heart. My eyes are definitely a little funky. I am tired a lot of the time. I should really think about not smoking. Or at the very least cut down more. Which I have. I've thought about drinking more water. It's a hard habit to get into, but I know I should drink more of it. I wish I liked carrots more, but they're just so damn chewy. I mean really. What's the deal there? Though I do salivate slightly at the idea of pot roasted carrots and potato all soft cuz of the juices from the meat and.........*tongue lolls out of mouth*
Anyway. Uh. Yeah....so I'll give it a little while longer, and if it gets much worse I guess I'll have to take some sort of action. Which really just galls me to no end. I mean. I'm lazy. Why can't my eyes and or body just take care of itself? Seriously. It's freaking annoying.
I wish I hadn't stared at the sun when people dared me to when I was a kid. Stupid dares.

FORK me!

Seriously. Stick a fork in me. I'm done. So Saturday night, after watching A Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, I go to bed and wake up the next day a little scratchy. I figure it's no big, I probably just over did it yesterday with my vices and socializin'. I go to work, get into my rythm, and realized abruptly that I feel worse. I come home at two for my short break. I realize with sinking dread that I am, in fact, coming down with something. It only took a few hours for this virus to lay waste to my bodies defenses.
I'm an allergy kid. This won't mean much to most of you, but to those other chosen few like me who got to get allergy shots once or twice a week as a kid, well you'll understand if I dont like colds. I get them at least once a year. Often more like twice a year. This is particularly annoying as I have just pointed out that I did, in fact, go to the doctor many times as a child to get my allergy shots. One would have hoped this had covered colds in some way. I especially dont like colds mainly because they screw with my breathing. It also means I get even less rest at night. I have sleep apnia. This bugs me. Also, colds are time consuming. They take awhile to fend off. And it takes awhile to bounce back. sniffles and the odd sneeze can last for days. Not cool.
Colds Also have this way of making your head stuffy too. It's like trying to think with a head full of mental chaff deflecting your thoughts. Mundane tasks you perform each day suddenly become actions of intense concentration. I was at work and I continuosly tried to ring this person's 2 large pizza order up on a 1 medium coupon. It didn't work. Or listening to your car radio and turning the tuning dial instead of the volume dial and being completely non plussed by the problem with volume level and reception of signal. Things like that.
I do amuse myself when it comes to doing combat with my colds though. My weapons of choice are cough syrup, nasal decongestant pills, Oj, and cough drops. of these four items, I think OJ helps the most. Followed by cough syrup. It's amazing how Vitamin C can make my cold take a step back and reevaluate itself after ONE glass of OJ.
Or it could have been just because I was feeling really funky this morning. Now I am getting tired again. I must cut this post short. I can feel the fatigue seeeeeeping into my veins again. It's there. Always there. Under the surface.......... .... ....*
