OK, I'm up. But not very.

I watched enough of After Life, this Japanese movie about (who would think it?) the afterlife, to get the gist of the plot. I liked what I saw of it.

I still don't feel very well and missed my morning class, but I might go to my figure drawing class later tonight. It depends how I feel. I don't want to miss any more than I have, but I also don't want to be obligated to go to my morning class tomorrow. Oh hell, I'm already obligated, I'm IN THE CLASS. I might as well. I guess I'll just see how I feel.

In the meantime, I think I will eat some soup and pick up around the house. Everything is so messy that I can't stand it. I think an impromptu garage sale may be in the works soon.

I'm starting to feel a little bit better, but I am not going to drag my butt in to class tonight. I don't feel THAT well. As soon as I do start going again, I'll have to be there all the time and I'll have to be working working working. So tonight and tomorrow I am just going to chill.

I unwrapped my foot to take a shower, and it feels a lot better. I think in another day or two I will be able to take off the bandages (and wear real shoes again!)

My mother mailed me the iBook today, to the tune of $140, because I forgot to tell her that I managed to get this one up and running. Erm... oops. Initially I couldn't get it to power on, but it ended up being some weird little switch on the back that was at fault. When I restart the computer, the power button doesn't usually work either - but the reset button does. I need to call the place I got it from, as I am also sick of getting their networking prompts when I try to do anything.

So tonight, I have a list of things I could and should do, I'm just not sure which I will do first. I need to return things at the bookstore, Target, and WalMart. I need to buy food. I need to dry laundry, clean up around the house, and work on my schoolwork. I guess these will be the focuses until Monday. But I'm not sure which I should do tonight, except that the returning-things bit can probably wait until the weekend. I definitely need food and a less messy environment and to dry my wet laundry. Hm.

I don't really feel like doing anything at all, of course, but I have been in bed for three days and am bored to tears. So bored, in fact, that I cannot concentrate on the books I am trying to read.

Got mail from a certain boy in a certain northeastern city. He's so cute, I just want to put him in my pocket and carry him around all day. :)

yay, I have food now! But no produce, because there were fruit flies hanging out around the tomatos again. I'll pick some organic stuff up tomorrow. I got a lot of frozen and dried foods. Chips, salsa, bagels, all the comforts of home. I splurged (not financially, but in a dietary sense) and bought some Archway oatmeal cookies.

My mom called and it seems like the finances aren't as bad as we might have thought. The insurance payoff should reach us within a month, and until then I think we have enough to tide us over. I feel so much more relaxed about the whole thing... that we're not completely destitute, or about to be homeless.

Felicity is on. It's guilty pleasures all over the place tonight!

The milk I bought is rancid! It tastes like old socks! I was going to return it, but then I decided that I'm not SO broke that the $2 is worth my trouble (in figuring out a way to get an open carton of milk back to the store so that managers can confirm it is, indeed, yucky, even if it is organic and there is more than a month left til its sellby date). I can pick up more milk elsewhere when I venture out for produce tomorrow.

I am all cuddled up in my pajamas and am going to stay up til 1230 so that I can tape Magnolia in letterbox. I have been looking for V. on AOL but she isn't there, so I am giving up now. I suppose I should write to J. before he heads off to Chicago, but a young lady also has to preserve her mystery, and... I don't know how I want to appear to him. I really like him a lot, but he lives a thousand miles away. So I guess... it's something like "interested, but not overeager; aware of the complications inherent in any potential romance." Blah. Why can't anything ever be simple? I meet a boy at a party, we go out a few times, it should be easy, not complicated by being a long way from home when I go to that party. So I guess he and I are "friends" and I will pretend to not be jealous when he tells me about other girls.

In the meantime, while I wait for the movie to start, I'm going to read. Since I have half a dozen books going right now, it shouldn't be too hard to get somewhere in something. I might make a cup of tea. Tea is good.

I have to be up early to accept a delivery from FedEx. I know you're jealous.
