I can't stop playing. It haunts me when I close my eyes. Little flags, little bombs. Also I saw a 7 for the first time yesterday. And I saw it again later that day. I've only seen the 7 twice now. Is there an 8??? I must find out!!!
I'm also ecstatic because I pre-ordered the new Harry Potter book. I was giddy all day when that happened. teehee
I love my new Ultimate Matrix Collection. I watched The Matrix a few nights ago and it was still amazing (even after the 5th time). I still find words and images that I hadn't noticed before that really tie all the movies together. I can watch it over and over. The first special features DVD, Matrix Revisited is also great.
Also, I love H&M. I spent about $200 there in the last 2 weeks (all on myself). There's a lot of stuff I like there. Their sizes are the same across all the products, and since I know what size I am, I just grab stuff off the racks and buy it without trying it on and it always fits perfectly at home. My only complaint is they don't have pants in "short" sizes. Only "regular" and "extra long."
I also love what I do. The last few weeks have been pretty exciting in lab. I won't bore anyone with details. The next big thing coming up is my first Qualifier.. sometime in March. It's a little scary, but I think the preparating I have to do for it will really make a difference. Right now I still feel like I haven't learned a whole lot, but since I'll have to know my topic inside and out to answer my committee's questions, I'll really have gained a lot of knowledge. And that's exciting.
I also love giving gifts. I love that eureka! moment when you come up with the perfect gift for someone.
I'm alone in the apartment right now. Everyone is gone for Christmas. I woke up at 11:30, but then I just rolled around in my warm bed till 3, sort of going in and out of consciousness. It's too comfortable in bed and too cold in my room. The thing I currently hate is showering. There is no heater in our bathroom so it's really really cold in there. Maybe I'll get a small space heater (but there's no outlet in there).
Anywho... overall life is good. I'm heading out to Colorado on Monday. And tomorrow will be a busy day running around returning stuff to Target, going down to Brooklyn, and finishing stuff up in lab.
I don't get sick very often (thank G-d), but because of that, I always forget the side-effects I get from medication.
Note to self: NyQuil makes you delirious!
I went to bed at 9, and was tossing and turning all night. I had a bunch of frustrating dreams that put your brain to work instead of allowing it to rest. I woke up a bunch of times completely dehydrated. It was the most restless night I had in a long time.
I mentioned to my grandmother that I had a mild cold, and her reaction, as always is "OH MY G-D!" as if it's the end of the world. Which is why I usually don't tell her when I'm sick. I can't really feel my hands right now so typing is kind of amusing. I want to write something and then my hands just do it. The skin around my head is also particularly tight today.
I woke up at 6am, watched some Bewitched, took a shower, and went to Gristedes to get some OJ (I've been craving it for the last few days). I also bought some Red Raspberry tea (yum), and some regular Lipton. Overall, I have to say this is really a pretty mild cold. I remember being much sicker on other occasions.
I hope I beat this thing by tomorrow evening because I'm going to a comedy club with Diorella and her friends.
There's nothing worse than the taste of liquid medicine, DayQuil/NyQuil in particular. I've been feeling something coming on for a few days so last night I wanted to get some medicine. It was cold, windy and dark so I was too lazy to go to Rite Aid and instead I went across the street to the local grocery store. I find that DayQuil and Nyquil generally work the best out of all the other medicines I've tried, but the store didn't have them in gelcaps, only in liquid form. The NyQuil, luckily, was cherry flavored, which was still bad but covered up the gross liquid medicine flavor. The DayQuil, which I took about 5 mins ago, is not flavored, unless you consider "Mint" a flavor. The only minted things that go in my mouth are gum and mouthwash. Drinking 30 ml of Dayquil was like drinking thick mouthwash. It was totally disgusting. My throat still has that "cool minty tingle" which is nauseating. I'm totally grossed out.
ick!
