Los Angeles Sucks! Now spank me!

ion I think Albertsons tried to poison me. I suspect my frozen Palak Paneer dinner to be the culprit as I spectactularly threw it up about a half hour after it went down. I seem to be feeling better and I don't think I'm feverish. Luckily the shift supervisors here took very good care of me after my boss told them I was sick. It's almost worth puking to have everyone be so helpful.

Done! I have made the first use of the pen that Wallybee gifted to me, writing out Hinterhof, by James Fenton [link] It was a real bugger getting everything sorted. The first ink I bought, some gold ink, wouldn't flow properly. I wound up instead using crimson ink on gold paper.

Next, some actual calligraphy. Probably Shelley's Love's Philosophy.

Bah, I have a headache.

Also am very annoyed with my sleeping habits. Both last night (when I was tipsy) and the night before (when I was not) I've fallen asleep and then woken up at 2:30 and stay awake till 4:30 or5am. I stay in bed mostly, so there's some drifting, I think, but not for very long or for very deep. Then I sleep OK from about 5 until 7:30ish. Then awake.

Today I need to pound out an essay for school. I'm hoping to get the bulk of it written today and use tomorrow for editing/polishing and watching the Travel Channel's Anthony Bourdain No Reservations marathon.

Nora, your sleeping pattern sounds like mine. Good luck with yoi essay.

People! I require distractions when writing papers! I click over here after I write an impressive sounding academic type sentence to reward myself for pulling the thought, kicking and screaming, from my brain, and there's nothing for like an hour and a half!

(also, sj, thanks for the well wishes, as you can see, it's going... well, it's going. Slowly, surely, frikken painfully. Although some of that pain is a self inflicted hangover so BAD NORA NO BISCUIT.)

Last night I did not join you in that evil sleep pattern. i woke up a lot. and I had one day where I was going to show my face at the F2F - but I sorta forgot it was in atlanta. so I ended up eating at a train restarant with Suzi and some others

Gee, after last night's posting, I'm all kinds of surprised to hear that Nora.

But yay sentence!

Yay!

Last night I had a more disturbing dream about confronting my cousins regarding family obligations, a total smack down. Of course, I'm the youngest of the 4 of us, with the eldest being a good 15 years older than me.

While I will be seeing all three of them later today, I doubt I'll have the guts to even give them a hint that they have screwed up so badly.Yes, I am a wuss.

I hope the dream was at least a little cathartic for you, Suzi.
