quidditchgrrlUgh. Am sick. *snorfle* I hate being sick. Especially when it's nice out. Blergh.
Happenings:
1. Lived out of my gym bag and at the YMCA for most of the week, between social things and other things and just plain not-having-time between things things. I'm glad the Y is nearby, nice, clean and cheap.
2. I saw Morrissey in concert on Wednesday night! <3 that man. Had I been up front, I totally would have been one of those crazy people who jump up on stage and try to hug him, only to be tackled by security and thrown back into the crowd.
3. One of my pals is moving to Cali at the end of June, and I'm going to miss her like crazycakes. We've both been seriously stressed out over other people's life catastrophies (we didn't realize that we both knew Eric, the man who killed himself last week), the uncertain future, et cetera. The two of us are not much for superficial emotion, so we spent some time just venting and not having emotional discussions, but talking about not having emotional discussions...it's hard to explain, but we both felt better by the end of the night (the Killian's and Jim & Coke probably helped, too).
4. Had dinner at Ha Long Bay on Friday night with friends - Columbus peeps, hit this place up if you like fresh Asian food. The pictures are up on my FB account.
5. Did breakfast with my dad, his wife, my sister, BiL, BiL's mom, and niece on Saturday, then went to the ultrasound place to check on the Blob. Dude, that 4D imaging stuff is horrific - seriously, I nearly puked on Natalie about halfway through. Or maybe it was the onset of this 'flu. Dancing fetal skeletons are still the stuff of nightmares. D: Oh, she's having a boy - we saw the hot dog rather than the bun.
6. My current Rainbow Assembly had its Reunion on Saturday, which was much more sparsely attended than we had planned for based on the number of folks who RSVP'd, but it was a nice turnout.
7. Went to dinner (OMG I NEED TO EAT MEALS AT HOME ONCE IN A WHILE!) at Shi Chi Steakhouse with my college roommate and her hubby, then to the new "dueling piano" bar in the Arena District. Lame, lame, lame. We stood outside for half an hour to enter a half-full bar, the singing was first episode American Idol bad. So, we did what we do almost every year (this is Shannon's birthday time) - abandon our grand plans and hit our favorite dive bar for karaoke. Which I totally BLEW at, considering I've not sung even in the car for a good month, didn't warm up, etc. She was a voice major, completely dropped off her butt drunk, and got up and sang some country song cold but with perfect pitch and timing. *jeliz*
8. This morning I cooked my meals for the week (down already to 172), went for a run, and threw up. Yay. Mr. K. is in the doghouse again, but is rallying a little by cleaning at the Lodge this afternoon so I don't have to go over and clean toilets while yakking up my own guts.
9. They're calling for snow at the beginning of the week. :-(
10. OH - watched part of the pilot for First Blood last night - I liked it! Vampires? Southern settings? Crazy hillbillies? Psychic waitresses? OMG WUT. So, how does one go about getting the other episodes before it comes out on DVD? *eyebrows*
11. There is no 11.
