I'm not gonna try and keep this journal updated. It seems evident to me that a lot of the elements that I tried my damnedest to avoid in other corners are the internet are here and in abundance. I mean, it's not like SG should be any different from anywhere else, and I don't fault it for that, but it's a division of effort on...

It's not like SO MUCH has happened over the past few days, but on the other hand it feels like my world has shifted. Specific knowledge of one of the two things that's stopped my from achieving my goals at almost every turn has opened my eyes and broadened my options and now I'm just left with the job of figuring out what to do...

Yesterday was full of soulsearching, to such an extent and so successfully that I couldn't decide whether to be elated by the magnitude of the results or depressed by the magnitude of the things that are fucking up my life. But then my roommate made me breakfast, and later on Su came over and we watched School of Rock, so I decided to be...

Called in sick, but feeling somewhat better today; sickness seems to have mostly dissipated. I'm not 100%, but if I keep improving at the rate I have been over the last day or two, I'll try a day of work tomorrow.

In other news... well, uh... I've been in bed for most of the last two days, so there's not a lot of actual news...

Still sick; glands slightly swollen; hard to swallow; can't communicate in much more than a whisper; clear drinks and broths are current diet.

Missing the first day of a six-day week today. Wonder how many more I'm gonna have to miss. I'm sure not going in like this. Can't concentrate on much more than lying in bed and reading at the moment, but at least...

I think I'm getting sick again, and this sickness is worse than the last. It's a constrictive throat condition that's starting to give me this weird Marlon Brando speech affectation and might be inflaming my glands (but I dunno, 'cause it's still early, yet). I mean, I don't feel physically bad aside from that, but really, that's enough.

I'm so going back to bed after...

Pluses and Minuses:

+ Still excited about the Bruce Campbell interview.
+ Now that the interview is being held off for a week or two, I have enough time to get the stuff I need to do it properly: namely, a copy of his book If Chins Could Kill and a tape recorder that hooks into my phone.
+ My roommate gave me half a...

Holy fuck. I might have an interview with Bruce Campbell as soon as tomorrow.

Whoa. WTF?!


P.S. Here is the story behind that enigmatic statement. Around 9:30 tonight I was kicking around the house, debating whether or not I should just go to bed and have a decent night's sleep. I figured that was the good choice, and decided to check my mail before I...

I am rockin'. Feelin' seriously great. Just amazingly awesome.

POINTS:
1) The bad roommate is out. I have vacuumed the room already and my bed's in there. I can SLEEP IN A MOTHERFUCKING BED TONIGHT! I HAVE MY OWN ROOM!
2) I've just downloaded FOUR HOURS of classic rock like Foreigner, Heart, Loverboy and Styx to the computer and am now, in fact, singing along...

Man, that was a fun night.

Okay, so I actually read some of my book today. (I'm re-reading Martin's Song of Fire and Ice books, and they're better the second time. Craziness.) I read my book and had a bath and hung-out and relaxed and preened and was generally content.

Then Su came over and we hung out for awhile and looked at some pictures...

Hm, here I am on another day off. What will I do today? Well, the internet seems a little slack, so I think I might try something novel and... read... a book. I know, I knowwho does that anymore, but I'm feeling a little anachronistic, so allow me to indulge myself.

I predict that, much like last night, I will also spend a portion of...

There were bad parts to yesterday, but overall it wasn't so awful. Though I do think I need to compile a short list...

PEOPLE THAT NEED A SWIFT KICK IN THE NUTS:
- The dude who runs the comic shop near my house and decided that even though Cerebus never really sold for them, they weren't gonna carry any issues of it including the last...
