when it rains it pours...

deery-lou.
and i'm not talking about the weather. more like my life. saturday morning i awoke feeling really good. i went to see the doctor who did more of the same treatments on me. they gave me another shot. this time it was a clear liquid. afterwards i felt really weird. my leg tingled, my hip hurt, and i felt a sense of overall tiredness. i went home ate some lunch and watched survivor. then i watched survivor live on cbs.com. yes, i'm a nerd at times. later hyun came over and we got dinner and hung out. all was well. that is until my computer decided that it was thirsty and needed of some water. which i was obligied to help by knocking over my water glass over. i didn't even knowi did it until i found my computer in a pool of water. i immediately picked it up, shook it out, and dried it off. i turned it off and opened things up to get it to dry out. i even busted out the hair dryer and blew the computer dry. when i went to turn it on the only sound i heard was the fan. she just wouldn't come on. needless to say i freaked. big time. i spent the next hour or so doing everything i possible could to get it to work. no use. finally i tried to get some sleep. that was nearly impossible too, seeing that i felt sick and was completely pissed at myself. when i did manage to get some sleep my lovely neighbor woke me up at 3:30am. no sex, just laughing and talking to friends. apparently they must get home at this time because this the third time i've herd them at this hour this week. in the morning i tried turning her on again. no use. hyun called the apple store at the coex and they said i could drop it off and a tech would look at it on monday. off to the coex i went. once we got there they told us that 1pm was the cut off time to receive repairs. it was 2pm. um, hello! why didn't anyone tell us this. kl i tell you kl. i left the store even more pissed. i had traveled an hour and 40 mins for nothing. it wasn't a total loss. hyun and i went to eat at marcels. its kind of like a world market. you go in, they hand you a card, and then you walk around and look at all the different food. when you see something you want you tell the person and hand them your card. i went for mexican mainly so that i could have guacamole and sour cream. i can't tell you the last time i had these two delicious items. i was very excited. the food itself was actually pretty good. it really didn't matter though cuz i had so much guac and cream on it. it was like heaven.

outside of the coex was a roboraptor exhibit. roboraptors are basically like the mechanical dogs but dinosaurs instead. they were really cool. there were so many of them. everywhere you looked there was a roboraptor. suddenly i heard this hissing noise and when i looked up i saw a mini-helicopter flying in the air. attached to it was a roboraptor. how cool is that…way! then some performers took the stage playing drums. we watched for a little while then decided to cruise. i wanted to get home and rest.

at home i tried turning on my computer again. she actually came on! i was so excited. i went over to horace's apartment. when i returned home my computer had gone back to sleep. what a tease. i tried turning her on again. nothing! so with no television to watch or a computer to watch dvds, i did what any boy would do. i read confessions of an heiress, a tongue-in-chic peek behind the pose by paris hilton. now that's a good read. i pretty much finished the book. i think i have 50 pages left. there are so many pictures of paris that i don't think i ever want to see her again. i must say though that she does look alot sassier with short hair.

this morning i thought i'd try to turn on the computer on more time. yes, i'm a glutton for punishment. she actually came on again. by the time i was ready to leave for school the computer was still looking at me. it had been two hours. i left the computer on to see if it would still be working when i returned. i wasn't going to get too excited just yet. i saw the doctor again today. no shot this time but more meds. next visit is on wednesday. jeff's mom gave me a present today to thank me for the present i gave her. it was a box of vitamin c. she's worried i'm not eating enough. so now i wonder do i get her a present to thank her for the present that she gave me to thank me for the present i gave her. think about that for a while. i returned to taekwondo after a week off. there were only 3 other students there. i had to practice my poomsaes the whole time. just when i feel like i'm getting better i'm not. i need to work on keeping my arms, hands, and wrists straight when blocking, punching, etc. as well as higher kicks. at least i have most of the poomsaes down. upon returning hope i was excited to find my computer still up and running. we'll see how long this lasts. don't want to jinx myself. but hopefully i won't have to take it in to get fix afterall.

be well…

Glad to see you are feeling better! Sorry about the computer, amazing how life changes without one, eh? Try reading the Da Vinci Code next, can't put it down! Oh, and the next TV series to watch is "Undeclared", by the same guy who did freaks and geeks. I spent the entire weekend watching that.
