I'm back to my old tv watching self. I caught strep throat and have been out of commission for about a week and a half. Hooray! I didn't even get a chance to miss work. A coworker was hospitalized right around the same time that I started saying, "Hmmm. My throat is a little sore." His absence stretched the staff very thing. I worked two...

My week without TV is over, but I am having difficulty with shaking it. Wednesday, the first day after the week, a friend called and ordered me to turn it over to PBS. They were doing a thing about comedians - frickin' awesome.

Last night, however, I just couldn't bring myself to turn on the TV. It is nice sitting in the quiet.

Plus, I...

The self-imposed agony that is the GRE's...

Why would anyone subject herself to that agony? I mean seriously. That was one of the most painful experiences of my life. Then, when you think that it is done and that you have completed all four sections, they throw another UNGRADED one at you. Fortunately, it was another written section. The written parts were actually my favorite...

First day with no TV. I don't think that I thought this out very well. I don't know what I was expecting to do all evening. I ended up eating dinner in the dark, talking on the phone with my brother, taking a bath, and dicking around on-line for the last hour and a half.

This experiment might have to continue beyond the week or...

I feel so much better. I had a fantastic night's sleep (I only woke up twice!)

Today, we went to the Boyd and Blair vodka distillery for work. They do pure potato vodka, but it is only available in PA until February 1 when they will begin shipping to OH. It was really interesting. Everything is locally produced. It tasted quite lovely, as well.

Other...

Today was bad. I kept having panic attacks at work. It was lovely.

My mom's heart catherization went well. I guess the hysterectomy will be scheduled within the next week.

I shoved off early from work and had a talk with my friend. I was so exhausted that I think I was barely coherent; nonetheless, we had a nice talk.

I think he just hit...

4 am. I still haven't slept. I need to be up in two hours.

I just watched Gonzo for the first time. It is a great insomnia movie. His tidal wave speech takes on a beautiful, new significance when watched during the most silent part of the night. I can't even hear traffic on the parkway. In about half an hour the traffic will pick...

Insomnia sucks. I have been googling myself late into the night to stave off boredom.

Tomorrow (really, today), I'm supposed to meet with my best friend to talk about Friday's discussion. I think that's the reason why I can't sleep. I have in-service at work from 7:30-4:00, and I'm supposed to text him when I get home. I'm hoping that the gang at work want...

Things were weird yesterday. They continue to be weird, and I imagine they will be weird for a while.

My friend and his girlfriend asked me to go out today. I didn't go. He apologized for the conversation the other day (or alluded to an apology, I think his girlfriend was in the room when he called), and I think he keeps asking me to...

I'm sober now. No hangover. I guess that I didn't drink enough. Good beer, though.

In just under two hours, I will be heading over to my best friends' house.

I can't see any way that this is going to end well.

Why do I do this to myself?

2009 is going to be complicated...

Today my best friend, who is a long term relationship with my other best friend, told me that he wants to have sex with me. He is having troubles in his relationship and is considering taking a break.

Now it is nearly 2am, I am drinking heavily, cursing the lack of hard liquor in my apartment, and listening to...

I finished my most recent doll today. I made it for my sister, and I think that the doll really represents her.

The fabric for the body of the doll is a bandanna because that was once her accessory of choice. I also made her hair somewhat long because my sister's hair has been getting quite long. She also tried to make her own chain...
