The Wreckage I Call my Office
We had house guests over the weekend, and in an effort to clean without dirtying the places that were already clean we relocated 50% of our possessions to my office. I can currently turn my chair in a full circle, but that’s about the extent of my movement range at the moment. Every other inch is completely filled with stacks of stuff. Stuff that needs a more permanent home than the floor around my desk. Some stuff which honestly needs gotten rid of and I don’t know why we purchased it in the first place. The problem is, the places this stuff belongs are currently under construction, like the large basement closet we’re putting in, and the garage that is halfway clean. So I just try to pretend by looking at the monitor that the rest of the space is as clear as this tiny portion of my desk. And as long as I keep my eyes closed, that seems to work out pretty well.
My neck has been hurting terribly for the past few days (as mentioned in the blog), up until two points in the weekend. The first was when my mother told me what medicine to take and then bandaged me up with icy-hot patches and things that totally took away the pain. Problematically the pain came back. The second was when my mother in-law used a small plastic- um… well, it was just a small piece of plastic, really- to essentially scrape across my neck and back with enough force to put down a small elephant. This cure was extremely uncomfortable, unlike the medicine and compress. But the odd thing about it is after I took a shower and went to sleep for the night, I feel totally fine now. It’s like my neck never hurt in the first place. My back and shoulders are covered with horrible black and blue patterns that make it seem like I was beaten to within an inch of my life by a whip covered in shards of glass, but there’s no pain anymore. And I’m sure the marks will go away eventually. I can’t see them without twisting my neck around and looking in the mirror anyway (a feat which up until yesterday would have been impossible given my neck pain).
Anyway, it’s very interesting, the difference between medicines. Both certainly worked, but they sure don’t have much in common…

I know this sounds like kissing up but I totally agree with your feelings about the sunday night line-up on Fox.
My brothers say that the Simpsons were the best in the 90’s
and that they have declined a little since then.
Being born in the mid-90’s I have no Idea what it was like back then.
King of the Hill is more sharp and less cartoony then the other shows.
Sudden murders and crazy plots can’t really happen.
And because of that the show suffers a little in the humor department.
But I still like it, and it does have some very funny episodes.
Family Guy this past season hasn’t been all that funny.
Seasons 1-6 were the best but the last 2 sucked.
American Dad is up and down for me. When its up, its passable.
When its down, its REALLY down.
When I found out that King of the Hill was being cancelled after 12
years of being on the air I was devestated!
I thought that the cleaveland show was going to replace American Dad.
But no, its going to replace King of the Hill.

JKR, you’re catholic, right?

“JKR, you’re catholic, right?”
Nope, just Christian. Catholicism, from the services I’ve attended, has too many rules. For example you have to be Catholic to take communion there. That’s not the God I know, He wouldn’t have something like that that excludes people in that way. The table is open for everyone.
