songs for friday and saturday: 6.Fictional: Perfect Stranger
7. Intuition: Two

Just feeling oogly wretched today thanks to taking some psuedoephedrine for a crashing sinus headache. I swapped one evil for another.

Started writing what was a one off highly erotic/kink scene that's bloomed into a strange little side novella and I'll just run with it till it wraps itself up.Nice to have something to keep the writing habit going and its going quite well.

Mailed a parcel that was sitting for ages. Got another sale. have some studying to do tomorrow, I did nothing today due to the urgly.

R found a great ipad keyboard/cover unit so I'll probably order that soon.

Anyway. sleep. A loverly idea. I feel like yeck.

Sunday.....woke up with unhappy pain of the month. Urgh.

we went to the Game of Thrones exhibit at TIFF, it was OK, but good thing it was free. It was some secondary props and duplicates, and mostly photo stills from the actual show. I get that most of it's all away filming but what was sent was pretty meh.

We had lunch at the members exclusive cafe, nice and quiet, then the exhibit them into the main cafe for the best brownie of my life. Swoon.

R bought us each a keyboard/cover combo for the ipads, that have fairly glowing reviews.

The pain started to ratchet to the 10's midway through dessert and it's hardly let up. I am only going in tomorrow to write this quiz, I just flipping HURT.

Went over to Doc Martens, ordered a pair of boots that's been randomly out of stock since january, and consistently sold out. Sure it probably just means they get only 3 pairs or something at an order. But one pair is prepaid for me!!!

Crawled home, passed out. I'm eating tylenol like candy and it's just NOT giving ANY relief so after this stint I should go to my doc and go "I need something better. I can't cope with this." ( Surgery was of minimal use. the various tylenol derivatives of no use. low dose morphine? PLEASE. I don't care HOW they want to dole it out. Just fucking do it.)

tomorrow's a quiz, a lecture, a lab and another lecture. The later ones are history, and if I scored an 88 on the quiz without really reading the book, I think i can skip off a day. Haven't missed any others all term.

going to write, and do some last review for this quiz. I need to do laundry but I'll see if tomorrow evening I feel up to it.

song for the day: ROtersand: electronic world transmission. ( looked at the lyrics. sort of reflects exactly how I feel on the tweaked out CNN news cycling. I recall being stuck in an airport in the US last year and ALL they have is CNN on so it's constant RECAP and then "stay TUNED for more details" and then a slightly changed POV recap and it just seems maximized for ramping up people's need to stay tuned! and ramps up the anxiety, I'm sure. I got the gist of things,and then went and ignored it. Even in Israel, when the stuff in Libya was hitting the fan, and later in Shanghai, when it was ENDING ( weird timing) we watched as much gave us what we really needed and then on with life. I think its not good to be saturated with BREAKING NEWS. makes you mentally fucked up. this is the same thing FOX does, only with even more slant.)

Anyway. Yes. Turn off the Pushy News Cycle. Your life will be the better for it.

Oh. and during lunch we discussed "things we miss about vancouver:"

1. Not being able to afford to go to events ( this month its mythbusters, a gem show, a concert) this summer, Roger Waters ( premium tix!) and chicago and atlanta, and our memberships to AGO/ROM/TIFF. Not that many big events HIT vancouver half the time.

2. homeless people selling us ham steaks and cheese from hidden stashes upon their person. "from their pants" says R.

3. 1200/m rent in east van with a 45 min bus ride, in a building with no amenities. Mine? 10 min walk from Eaton Center, pool, gym, subway, 24 hr laundry access, A/C.

4. Kitsilano yuppy/hippies. ( ok here they're all in the Beaches/Roncy)

5. Not being able to afford some of the frankly SWANK dining as of late.

6. We miss working 2-3 jobs each and still not breaking the 6 figure mark as a whole.

in both cities: I do hate having to duck the ubiquitous sweaty yoga mat on some nutter's back. Yeck. ( but then I fucking HATE Yoga. I think its bullshit.)
