As it turns out, I have to take only half a sick day today; no sooner had the students arrived at school they were heading right back home due to snow. I was busy getting Istar to the vet for his annual breathing treatment. More on that in a minute. I then had the pleasure of going to the dentist for a filling. Ugh. In my 36 years, this is my second filling and I highly doubt I’ll be wanting to repeat this day anytime soon. I had no pain or discomfort prior to today, but now my jaw is throbbing and all I want to do is rip all my teeth from the left side of my mouth. Ouch. The dentist gave me a real Dickens minute by charging me more than $100 LESS than what it was supposed to be. I seriously wanted to yell, “God bless us, every one!” on my way out.
Istar isn’t so lucky. His injection was fine, but he is so overweight (18.3 lbs) that the vet was panicked. I already feed him less than the recommended amount of diet food each day, but now he’s on an even more expensive diet than the one Hobbit was on. I can’t see continually paying $24 for an 8 lb. bag of food, but the vet made me buy it today before he would release Istar. The good news is that he’ll now get to eat more food than before, so maybe he won’t mind the change. We’ll see.

I have no logo for my new show. It makes me want to shout, “Where my homies logos at?!?” The RW/RR Challenge: The Island debuts tonight, and as always, I’ll be watching. Even though I won’t know half of the contestants, after this season, they’ll be like old friends to me when I see them on their next challenge. Whoo hoo!
I’ve been croupish for a week and a half now. I’m over it. Well, I’m not over it, I’m over the thought of it. Go away, hack. I have no doubt that if I put the Newports down, it’ll get better faster, so I guess I really can’t complain too much, but still…. Oh, and if I could only remember to NOT BITE MY NAILS, especially at the start of the school year, I probably wouldn’t have caught this mess in the first place. Bah!
College Fair tomorrow…wish me luck! It’ll be a miracle if this thing happens at all.

I’ve let a lot go by without mentioning it on here. Now that I’ve closed ZeroMuch (well, archived it), I’ll try to write more. Rejoice.
Recently, I’ve had a mini-vacation to TN, seen Ben and Jesse, had poison ivy all over my face (second doctor’s visit in a month…yay), and waited for my grandmother’s surgery to stop giving her problems. I found a really cool Zune clock to add to HobStar (my Zune), so I’m really happy about that. I don’t wear a watch and my sorry TracFone is just not something I’m willing to whip out everytime I want to check the time. Having a clock on my Zune will be perfect because now I can watch Shaun of the Dead AND time the AP exams properly. Heh.
Television-wise, we’re gearing up for a late Summer viewing schedule which includes old Star Trek: Voyager, SGA, Project Runway, Big Brother, and Shear Genius. I’m not overly enthused with the newer shows, especially SGA. I seriously think that unless they lose Dr. Keller, my viewing days are limited. I hate that a show that has meant so much to me has brought about so much disgust, but I can’t help it; she just grates.

The past two days have seen me having quite a fun time. I went to the ER Monday morning with what I knew was a kidney infection due to the fever and intense pain I had in my back. Yup. Sure was. As the day progressed, my slightly sore throat turned into the worst I’ve ever had, so much so that I couldn’t eat and my fever returned. My teeth ached so badly that chewing was out of the question, but it didn’t matter; I couldn’t even swallow saliva without agonizing pain. Mom had enough of it and forced me to see yet another doctor last evening. After a quick injection of steroids and penicillin, I woke up this morning in a pool of sweat with a HUGE smile on my face. I was better! Completely! I’ve never thought such a turnaround could be possible, but it happened. It could also be due to the homemade biscuits and gravy my mom made just for me. 
Now, geekspeak. Coldplay’s album is laughably bad. Maybe it will grow on me, but it’s definitely not on the level of the last one. Awww. Too bad that 1) I don’t care for Lost anymore 2) I don’t vid anymore. There are two songs I could make the most corny vids to. One is actually titled “Lost” and would be a good Locke vid, no? The next is “42″ and has Hurley written ALL OVER IT.(”Those who are dead are not dead/They’re just living in my head.”) Bwa! I have no doubt those vids will be made by others, and done well, of course. I imagine there will be one of the “Lost” song for every character at some point. It’ll be interesting to watch.
Sorry I’ve been absent, non-responsive, etc. I’m trying to remedy that–with St. John’s Wort. Now I know that Ella from Hex nearly died from it, as it weakened her powers, but since I’m not an immortal fighting the Nephilim, I figure it can only help. We’ll see…
Not that I want to turn this into a Pushing Daisies site, but OMyG, how great is this show? I absolutely adore Emerson. Chi McBride has a new fan here, I tell ya.
Emerson, after being questioned by Ned about the appropriateness of taking on friend Olive as a client:
Oh, hang on a second, let me ask the money: *mock phones* Oh, hey, Money, it’s me, Emerson. I’m good, I’m good, thanks for asking. Say, can I still pay my bills and buy stuff with you even though you was Olive’s money first? Uh huh….yeah…*laughs* Thanks. *puts away fake phone* *Serious Voice* The money don’t care, touch him.
Bwahahahaha. Gold, I say!
