verbminxNothing at all of interest to report - stayed in bed all day, mostly sleeping, with a sore throat, and got up in time for X-Files, which was sorta bad - I'm starting to like Doggett, but the dialogue the "locals" had in this episode was terrible. Then watched The Practice, got food, dithered around, and watched Cruel Intentions because it was on & I was waiting for my mother to finish on the computer. I don't really want to go into it... actually the movie was just "on" while I was reading, and she complained about me not spending time with her every time I tried to leave the room, but spent almost the entire evening sending emails she didn't feel like writing (had nothing to say), but felt like she needed to write so that the relatives and family friends who have been calling won't call EVERY DAY to make sure she's OK.
It's hard to explain - I am of two minds - one is the tolerant compassionate one, and the other is the one that knows that whether I am tolerant and compassionate or not, she's still going to take out all her angst on me. I really wish I felt well enough to finish fixing up my room so I can sleep in it again - it would provide some needed distance and privacy.
I did get a chance to email my AH teacher with a progress report. Yay. Told her that I am reading Genji, though not as quickly as I would like, and that I am just trying to get everything in by the end of the semester and such. To be honest, that's ambitious of me. I can't even concentrate on anything. I'm just trying to learn the tarot stuff right now because I only have to remember one fact for each item. Making the flashcards is exhausting - last night I think I finished through The Wheel of Fortune, and that was after hours of work (using two books and a website, but still, I'm writing four or five concept words on the back of each card, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes per card!)
The artwork on Mary Crane's site is really incredible.
V called me from work on Friday mentioning something about joining LJ and needing help, but I didn't get the message until it was really too late to call her back, so I don't know what she wanted, and I foolishly neglected to write down her work phone, and didn't have the chance to call her at home tonight... bleah. I miss her, I wish she'd get her computer fixed (actually, they're getting a new computer), as longdistance is too spendy and too inconvenient!

wow
Date: 2000-11-20 07:23 am (UTC)I have to admit, I liked the x-files a lot. I thought it was cool seeing the interaction between Doggett and Scully. I think Robert Patrick is going to work out great.
Most people seem disappointed in the season so far, but then again, a lot of people didn't like last season, and I absolutely loved last season.
*is not very critical*

Date: 2000-11-21 01:37 am (UTC)You NEED to see the new Nigel Jackson deck. It's beautiful. I had to have it because as soon as I saw it I knew that it was right for me. I think there are some good pics under "deck reviews" at Art Of Tarot (http://www.artoftarot.com).
