xoxo, dracula

ahhhh i left my cellphone at home today ! i don't know why i've been so forgetful about it lately- weirdest.

yesterday i worked late and cleaned up the kitchen when i got home. christina like... deep cleaned the floors and stove over the weekend so it was like literally the least i could do. i made hamburger helper with veggie crumbles (aka salt with salt) and hung out in the livingroom and answered some work e-mails. sounds exciting, right?



the big intrigue last night was that pizza wasn't acting like herself and we were getting super worried ! she was walking kind of low to the ground and refusing to get on the couch with us and kind of sadly crouching on the ground. she even did a mournful meow ! i checked her out and she didn't seem to have any sore spots, her belly wasn't hard, uh, her b-hole looked okay, her ears were clean, her nose was cold and wet, and she was eating and drinking and pooping, but seriously she was acting really weird !



after awhile, and with the help of the internet, we ascertained that she is probably hunting a mouse or a bug and it has her on edge. mama's little baby !

i decided not to raid so i could spend some quality time with christina and get some work done. we spent most of the night being worked up and hysterical and making fun of what not to wear which included christina saying, "oh my god, what if stacy london was a cat?" and me conjecturing that maybe pizza's soul was in our bodies and our souls were in hers. that isn't a thing that happens though !

after that, i leveled my priest a little bit. we're already almost level 50 because the refer a friend bonus is such an insane cheat- we get 3x xp for turning in quests if we're near each other. paul is just running us through dungeons and stuff with one of his alts- we've essentially done almost no real quests so far.


adelita and solanas, hanging out with their friend, the horde cloth quartermaster

we have another set to level to 60 (we each referred each other), but that may have to wait until after this event is over. i'm really enjoying it so far because i barely have to do anything.

i have to go do a training for registration for this event now buhhhhhhh talk to you later !

nothing on you

dudessss. i had a really exciting weekend where i got to do almost nothing ! on friday, christina and i dressed up fancy (well, we both wore dresses due to dire laundry situations) and went to tampopo, which was filled with obnoxious penn kids. i had some steamed dumplings and bi bim bap with tofu and egg



it was okay- i sort of hate sesame oil and they put it in every dish, which was kind of a bummer, but the sauce was pleasantly spicy and i did okay with eating with chopsticks even though i'm normally like... an embarrassing honkey with them. after that, we came home and watched, uh, it's complicated. it was okay ! slightly less boring than watching old rich people do shit IRL.



there were a few funny/weird moments (like alec baldwin grabbing meryl streep's vagina and saying "home sweet home"? and her saying, "i prefer a lot of semen") that we were really into, but like i hate rich people so i couldn't get personally invested. also meryl streep was totally fucking radiant ("she just looks like somebody's aunt to me") and christina and i kept marveling over it ! after that we got into a hysterical competition to freddy krueger each other where we tried desperately to make the other look at us and then did a freddy krueger hand motion



on saturday, i didn't really do anything. christina and i went grocery shopping, where i rekindled my love for hamburger helper with veggie crumbles (i've been having trouble with eating disorder stuff lately with no real end in site. most foods i like seem gross or unappetizing to me. this will do for now.). paul and i leveled our alts to around level 26 (from 14) i think? and i did some reading, and christina and i caught up on DVR'd king of queens. haha. i think we watched like 12 episodes over the weekend? mouse came over for awhile to hang out before he goes on tour (more about that later) and i lent him my ipod, which will be returned loaded up with jiu jitsu and vale tudo videos i'm sure.

on sunday, we leveled our alts to like.. 42 or 43? then mike and emily came down because emily's 16th birthday was saturday. i bought her dinner, which was an empty gesture because her dad usually pays for her. emily is like... the coolest kid ever? she's so much cooler than i was at her age, and has been for as long as i've known her. mike was a delight as usual- this time he has ringworm and is taking some kind of anti fungal medicine that he has to sweat out?


we all decided ringworm would be grosser if it was an actual worm than a fungus, but i actually think a worm is less gross

that sounded like something mike would make up to gross me out, but apparently it's true?

The single-dose regimens, or pulse therapy regimes, can be made more effective by having the patient exercise 1–2 hours after the dose, to induce sweating. The sweat is allowed to evaporate, and showering is delayed for a day, leaving a film of the medication on the skin

ew ! after they left, i talked to mouse on the phone for awhile. he's going to be on tour (mostly the midwest and some of the south?) until sunday, and i'm super bummed. i know the timing is good because this is my busiest crappiest week all year, and i have to work this weekend, but i feel all weird and mopey ! this is like, the longest we've ever not been butt buddies. i hope he continues to send me a lot of weird texts and isn't too bored.


cybermouse and dalexy, circa 2004

oh, speaking of that, we didn't even watch the new episode of doctor who. after that bullshit winston churchill and the tired dalek plotline, i am not super eager to watch them possibly ruin the angels from blink by doing them to death.



i mean, i'll watch it (probably tonight !), but i don't feel any kind of urgency to watch it every week as it airs. i hope i don't have to give up on the revival, but between it's general undercurrent of suckiness and having to listen to newjack doctor who fans share their dumb opinions with me, i'm kind of grouchy about it.

hey ! otherwise i'm in a good mood. my event is this weekend and i'm super busy, but since i made all the changes to my work process in january (writing stuff down, buying a printer, etc) i definitely feel more organized and under control than i have in previous years.

p.s. speaking of crappy tv, i guess the pacific ended? i wonder if i'll ever watch it. i heard it was good from paul (my resident WOW and WWII friend), but he also liked white chicks.
