::sniffle::

where did the allergy attack come from? i ask you. meh. ::sneeze!::

for all my crankiness, yesterday was quite lovely. picnic with rachael. met up with rachel. bought some good sandals. went to mt. auburn cemetery and exchanged europe photos. it's funny, all my pictures are of things and places and a bunch of rachel and siena... but only one or two have me in them. but she had tons of pics of me... and it was weird, and fun, to see me in these pics i've been looking at for weeks. now i can put the france n' italy album together.

we made dinner together, the three of us, and then rachel and i watched a room with a view while rachael went to a meeting. i can't imagine i will ever stop adoring that movie. ::sigh:: the bathing scene! yeah. and rachel liked it, fortunately, so i didn't have to kick her ass out of my house or anything. we also listened to the peter pan snippet from this american life before she left - as her experience with children's theater made it particularly funny.

the highlight of my week (along with the noho visit and buffy) must be that harrimad_sol read, and liked, some h/d slash. impossibly exciting. even if she were never to read another story... the fact that she was excited about one is amazing. heh. i mentioned this to rach over breakfast and she offered to hang out with hominidj if he gets lonely. *g*

but i've developed a harry/draco problem. it don't know why it's just h/d... the general fanfiction issue of reading the same characters over and over in different characterizations and plots hasn't bothered me before now. but i get my harrys and dracos confused. and, now that i've read all of ivy blossom's massive fic i can't believe any other draco. hers was too good and too thorough... but i want to read more harry/draco. so what do i do? has anyone else had this problem?

despite my long abiding affection for the billy idol song, dancing with myself, i don't think i'd ever seen the video before a few minutes ago. i'm really not clear on how the writhing zombies relate to anything. also, it made me glad that the few videos of me dancing around like an idiot in the 80s that exist are locked safely away in my parents' home. now i'm thinking maybe i should burn them.

anyone know a good method of face removal? bc i really can't take this sneezing sniffling shit anymore. i'd rather just not have a face.

unh

ok, no reason for this to be happening... this sick as a dog thing that's going on over here. i thought it was allergies, but i can't seem to tell the difference between allergies and a cold. i just know i'm hot and cold and can't keep my eyes open. i slept (more or less) for a few hours this afternoon but that just made me feel ultra groggy and disgusting. i'm going to go take a steamy hot shower now. see if that helps.

really, if my body is just trying to tell me to get more sleep... fine. i heard you. got the message, now back off! ::sigh:: it's not really the staying up til 2 or 3 that's the problem, it's the insistence on getting up with the girl at 7:30 after staying up that late. must pick one or the other, i guess.

sal, my neighbor who's an ex-cop and spends all his time gardening, listens to some cheezy-ass radio really loudly when he's outside. i just heard the rose and earlier i heard i don't know how to love him from jc superstar. odd.

i really think all you noho kids should magically appear here and play with us tonight. wouldn't that be fun?

to the steamy shower...
