boring and in less pain is ok in my book.

mac's words of wisdom tonight: when I live by myself, I get to make the rules?

me: yes.

mac: watch tv ALL THE TIME and NO VEGETABLES!

Mac has figured out the true joy of adulthood!!

boring and in less pain is ok in my book.

You're welcome to the next time they admit me and the most exciting thing that happens is they wake me to take my blood pressure every two hours. And won't stop, even if the doctor asks them to.

Right now my main problem is that my neck and shoulder hurt when I lie down, even though my head feels better. Sitting up flips that. I can't commit.

Does Mac understand you were a kid? Does he wonder why you don't have those rules?

I'm trying to think if I ever grasped my parents as children. I don't think so.

And the question about them coming into kid space and cramping us? We had very little kid space, and just about none where they'd want to be for any length of time. I think we overlapped on the porch--until we moved to the UK, that was it. Even there, it'd be TV we overlapped for, and that had its own special fights.

Swooped by the ER web site and all the comments are "Dudes! Where's the full episode online? All the other networks do it!"

Yeah. They kinda do. And having missed the first ep makes me a lot more meh about catching the next ones, even with the two minute summary. I think it's out-dated licensing preventing it, but it's no good.

I tried to record ER and it stayed on ABC instead--I have DSM, don't I?

If that's 10pm on Thursday, then you got Big Shots, which I turned off after 15 minutes.

I think I've identified another reason I don't see "celebrities" around -- I don't know why they are!

I am fairly sure that "why" should be "who", but I LOVE IT SO MUCH with "why." It makes me imagine that Jesse has a superpower where people without a good reason to exist are actually invisible to her, which would be pretty awesome. And quite a time-saver.

And then I think, if Jesse doesn't acknowledge this post, does that mean I'm invisible to her? Maybe I wouldn't find her superpower so awesome then. So stay tuned for my existential crisis.

Ha! I see all these people, and I have no idea why they're famous! Or why they are at all.

....yeah, I meant "who."

I also forgot about the first episode of ER. And my new Tivo had been delivered that morning, just as I was leaving for school, so it wasn't hooked up yet.

I taped er but I've realized that I have no interest in watching it.

And I did watch Big Shots and hope to never do that again.

Does Mac understand you were a kid? Does he wonder why you don't have those rules?

yeah, that's how the convo started. He was acting upset about not living with me forever and I said "I don't live with Grandma and Grandad anymore and that is ok, right?"

And the question about them coming into kid space and cramping us?...

is puzzeled as I stare at the lego castle in my livingroom floor and the bike in the dining room. HE comes where ever I am, except for my weekend sleeping in and to the bathroom when I shower - that is where the disconnect is for him needing this adjustment time to my presence.

You know what's good for a laugh? Google 2012 planet x. It's fun! Go on, I dare ya!

Anyway, this planet x is supposed to loop through the inner solar system in 2012 and cause all sorts of natural disasters and earthquakes and what-not. I spent some time trying to figure out how they came up with 2012, but the signal-to-noise ratio in my Googling was just too damn low. Finally I gave up, as the stupid - it burns!
