oy gevalt!

This has been such a slow day. I can't breathe and my head is foggy and my eyes hurt, so all I could really do was sit in front of the TV... reading was giving me a headache and scrambling my brain. Tea is my friend, tea and Lots of Liquids.

I watched A Fish Called Wanda, various cartoons and TV shows, the end of the movie Tempest (Molly Ringwald's big break! 1982!), Ed, The West Wing (which I find kind of sanctimonious and schmaltzy sometimes), Once and Again, and The Frisco Kid, a movie in which Gene Wilder plays a Rabbi sent from Poland to serve in San Francisco, but has to get to SF first, and does so with the help of gunslinger Harrison Ford. Except for some swearing, it was practically Disney. I have not watched TV as much in one day (let alone one WEEK) in months. It was sooooooo slow.

Also got through to AppleCare about getting the iBook fixed. They're shipping a new adapter to us which should be here this week; hopefully this will solve the problem! All my bookmarks for my Art History paper are on that computer, so I'm itching to get it back!

Time to go drink some mint tea and stuff tissues up my nose. Ciao!

It's not really this late, the computer clock is slightly off.

I'm going to bed momentarily. Mom has me shopping the Urban Outfitters website looking for house stuff and gifts for relatives. We're getting the string of paper lantern lights, at least.

By the way, since I complain about my mother a lot (and it's not undeserved, and she'd be the first to admit it), I might as well say that she's been really super nice to me this week. I don't just mean the mothering of yesterday and today (today I had to stand up and say "You know, I can get my own drinks, I'm sick but I'm not too weak to get off the bed and get a glass of water!"), I mean since Sunday, just not ranting at me or treating everything I say as a capital offense. Peace and quiet is nice.

woke up feeling worse, not better.

mom came home bearing the BreatheRight strips with Vicks Vapors in them. Between that and the cotton in my ears from the eardrops, I think you can approximate what I look like in your imagination. silly! but they are both helping.

bought American Psycho on all-day pay-per-view. I watched the first half-hour or so, but I'm going to wait to watch the rest til later. i just watched part of Daria and now I'm going to try to read. Reading is FUNdamental.
