"It just shot down my spine..."

[whitereflection]

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
'Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time...


Finally shook the monster headache of yesterday, though today I'm getting smacked around by allergens. Yay. I'm lucky my dr. said my blood pressure is down enough to keep on Allegra, or I'd really be up shit creek without a paddle. Am really, really tired bad, though, and in a godawful mood. I need to be working on stained glass-related activities, or at least watching that OP DVD or Shaolin Soccer movie like I promised Andrew...but god, I just want to go to sleep and not wake up for days. And I need to quit stewing and brooding and missing people like my Mom or Nix, because I just have to accept we all live far away and can't change that. Bah. Anyway.

Guess you could say adulthood lost and baseball won on Friday. Went to the game that evening, and though the Royals lost badly, it was a rather decent time--awesome weather, a fun crowd, a spectacular fireworks display afterwards. And they were giving away these inflatable plastic tube things that made a wonderful ruckus when you smacked them together (thunder or cheer-sticks). So it was all good.

Got up at an unholy hour on Saturday...but I did get to that glass sale, and got about forty bucks worth of glass, then lucked into about sixteen more bucks worth of glass free, due to a lucky draw out of a grab bag. Got cut while digging through the box full of glass squares, though, because I'm an idiot who was rushing and not paying attention.

Afterwards, we went to the zoo right at opening time. Let me say that our aquarium is good...our rainforest pavillion is awesome...the new desert dome is most cool...but Oh. My. GOD...the new nocturnal exhibit just took my breath freaking away. Especially the cave section. It is InCreDiBle. I *mean* that. You don't know how much I want to go through it again and again and again. I'm going to make my Mom fly back for a weekend to see it sometime.

After the zoo, Anj and Gina and I (as James had wandered off to an Amptguard thing) did a bunch of errands...god, can they shop. >_< I did grab a used copy of FFTactics for James, and a new copy of DDRKonamix (why did no one tell me this was available for PSX/1?? *flails*!). And to show how geeky we are, after getting food we all watched Iron Chef to round out the evening (though we barely averted a migraine for Anj, ick).

Sunday was ok...watched some more Fruba, and I'm now sure I adore Shigure and Kyo, as well as Momiji, Haru, Uo-chan and Hana-chan, and Hatori (poor Hatori...). We're only through episode 12, though, so there's a lot to go yet. I hate Akito already, though. *Hate*.

Occurred to me this morning on the drive into work that ColdPlay's "Clocks" has a very U2 sound to it, for some reason.

And I am coming to the conclusion that I can't listen or talk to anyone about politics ever again. Ended up hitting my shower ratio so hard I knocked the back panel off and the batteries fell out--because that one DJ was being a fucking asshole-bastard about certain situations out in the world. I guess it's pretty much for certain I resign from the human race...a majority of people are a lost cause, I think. If we cared about each other any less... *sighs darkly* Glad to see that we both do what we want, then don't give a shit about cleaning up or mess or accepting responsibility for the consequences.


I see the blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel more like a man ?
Was it all just a part of your plan?
The pistol's shakin' in my hands...


And it's rather obvious that as usual, I *really* don't want to be at work today. I swear I'm going to throw something at my supervisor when she next *staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaares* at me as she walks by my cubicle. Fucking creepy staring bitch. But I keep repeating to myself "Japanese in fall semester...Japanese in fall semester..." Starting that class is the only thing keeping me at this job, I swear. I'm so ready to ditch and get out of here, find something else, you know?

Ahwell. Anyway, whatever.
