Thank you Waldo for turning me on to Project Gutenberg. I found my book in there, and while it's not the same as curling up on the couch with an actual paper book, combined with streaming national cbc radio 2 and a cup of decaf green tea, it's quite a good substitute.

I got some sort of deathcold on the weekend. I'm currently sitting at home, feeling pathetic. I went and saw a doctor today and he told me to stay home for the next few days. The really sad thing is the book I was reading is in my desk at work.

And if you were like the Big Chin, you'd have plenty of spare pj's lined up so you wouldn't worry!!! 
Oh please, it WAS funny when Nanny said that but I was fucking pissed!

I just got over a slow-burning headcold ....
- and noticed it's effect on my mood -----> my mood plummeted at the onset until I literally had to drag myself out of bed to face the day
at its passing I was (and still am slightly) tripping the light fantastic
------> my OKCupid test test-results were hardly more rewarding than Playstation
-Manchild------------------>basically they suggest I leave the dating pool for my own and everyone else's emotional health

My weekend was splendid. Surly pampered me (massage, pedicure, japanese nunsploitation horror movie) like I was a queen. He met my family and we spent some time hanging out.
My family loved him (big surprise) and I didn't see him run away screaming, so I think he liked them as well.

Yay for dirty dreams about George Clooney.
Not only did I get intimate with Mr. Clooney (several times), but we got to hang out in this rundown little Turkish (it *seemed* Turkish) cafe, smoke pot, and talk about life. Pure heaven.
In other happy news, Mr. Surly P. Clown arrives in T-minus 5.5 hours. Yahoo!

I got my test results yesterday. As I said to my doctor, it's a relief to know I'm not diseased, just abnormal. Girl bit issues essentially. They're referring me to a gyno for further consultation, but I'm not gonna die! Well I mean, I am gonna die someday, but not sometime soon from this.

I don't believe there are restrictions although I would have to look over the rules to be completely sure. He was glad to turn it over anyway and denied ownership so it wasn't an issue luckily.
As for my hair...at Mane Attractions on McLeod, Ernest is my stylist, also a friend of mine which is handy for those days I am stuck, I just head to his house.

we had a Feng Shui practitioner come and do our office. They rearranged a lot of desks and other furniture added a water feature and some plants and cleared a lot of blockages, mainly from our wallets though hehe, I think an interior decorator would have been cheaper if not as much fun.
I was supposed to get my test results today, but my doctor is still in the us. They rebooked the appointment for me for tomorrow. meh.
There is something living in my ceiling. I'm on the top floor of an old brownstone from the '20s, and I can hear something scampering around up there... actually, a few somethings. Pigeons? Cats? Squirrels? Really big rats? I'm...

Okay, I thought it was cold here, but apparently, you keep sending *your* air down our way. Please, we have plenty of air, feel free to keep the cold to yourself.

I just watched The Apartment with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine and Fred MacMurray. A nifty little comedy from 1960, I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue and delivery of the lines.
The workplace depicted in the movie struck me as surreal. In one scene, it's a work Christmas party in this giant insurance corporation in NYC. Everyone's loaded. A switchboard operator is doing a moderately bawdy dance...

Long time no talk to. I've been on SG less and less since I started my new job last summer. How have you been lately?
I did a bunch of odious chores around my apartment today. I have a mild feeling of accomplishment now as I prepare to go grocery shopping.
Last night's social foray was an unqualified success. I bought the Arkham Horror game, which is essentially Call of Cthulhu in a board game. surlyclown plays it and his friends always seem to have fun with it, so I...

done, the good luck wishing bit that is

i hope your weekend of sociability is/was delightful. what sociability type things are you doing? something tells me the trix is long overdue for dancing.
I think I slept 14 hours. Yesterday morning I had a test done and being that I'm a huge hypochondriac (and full-time neurotic) I didn't sleep much on Sunday night. I'm looking forward to finding out either way on the 20th. This has been dragging out since mid-December.

My pleasure It's one of those great lost records, like Shack's Waterpistol (which you should also check out ) - they should have been big, but the record company got bought out by EMI and the villains have only now (fifteen years later!) managed to pull their finger out and agree a rerelease - having refused to sell the rights back to the band in the mean time. Tossers.

I take much care to buy those plants that you can't kill no matter how hard you try. Those are my favorite plants.
The last lines of this song really hit me.
Do you know how it feels to be lonesome
When there's just no one left that really cares
Did you ever try to smile at some people
And all they ever seem to do is stare
And you remember how it feels to be cold again
When the happiness of love has gone away
And you...
