i made it safely to tampa yesterday. i should be here for about a week. we’re staying with sohei’s dad, but we’ll be visiting his mum, too. i’ll probably have more to say about the trip when i go out and do stuff. we’re going to the annual shindig tonight, so it’ll be nice to see everyone.

and my anti-spam setting isn’t working for some reason. even though i set it so you have to be registered to comment, spambots are able to comment anyway. i’ll just keep things as they are for now, but i’ll be thinking about whether to do anything.

juchan! (i assume that’s you reading my blog, from mexico.) i miss you! and i dreamt that i was yelling at you and you turned out to be dead, and i felt awful, and when i woke up i was worried. because i always have nightmares while you’re there. but you’re alive and reading my stupid, crazy blog. w00t.

hello my dears. i’m home today thanks to what i assume is a malfunctioning gall bladder. i have an appointment tomorrow with my new doctor. if her staff is any indication, i don’t have high hopes for her, but we’ll see.

and if my neighbor doesn’t stop banging around, i will harm him.

anyway, i spent the day in bed (except for the hour i spent at work this morning dry heaving) watching house. this usually isn’t my sort of thing, but it stars hugh freaking laurie. no, i couldn’t believe it either. and it’s pretty good. i mean, it’s entirely unrealistic, but i now find myself longing for my old microbiology text books. sob. basically, the house character does what i wanted to do. he diagnoses things. it’s like being a medical detective. i used to think i’d want to be a pathologist, but i’d rather do detective work regarding living people, i think.

ow. shit. i hope whatever is wrong with me is easy to diagnose and fix, though i somehow doubt it.

and now i’m going to continue with that writing project. i’m only halfway through chapter two, and the main character has already seduced someone and brutally murdered someone else. i think it’s going to be good. my plan is to eventually put it online, with music and pictures and everything. of course, i say that now, but i’ll probably be sick of it in a week.
