I just wanted to make mention that even after .. how many seasons? 15? more? … Survivor is still one of the best shows on Television. Last night, the season was down to the final 8, and although the challenges and the survivor auction were pretty normal for Survivor… it’s the players that really make the game. It was hilarious to watch an almost 60 year old man throw a fit over a damn chocolate chip cookie. If you didn’t see it, you missed out, let me tell you. Then, the sheer joy of watching that bigot of a hateful…

It’s that time of year again, where everyone stresses out about the “perfect gift” and picking out cute wrapping paper and beautiful christmas decorations. I have always loved Christmas, but there are flaws in the whole gift giving system, don’t you think? When I start to think about the perfect present for someone, I have to consider what they really would use or want. BUT, I also have to think about how much they are probably going to spend on me, or how much they spent on me last year, reducing their present into a mere exchange of money in…

So, when I went to the doctor last week, I told her about some problems I’d been having with prozac and wellbutrin. I was wondering if maybe I should try something else, and she agreed. That landed me with a two week sample pack and a prescription of Pristiq, a relatively new anti-depressant. One of the side-effects that it lists in the very long list of possible side-effects is “vivid dreams”. Let me tell you, this is a side-effect that I am definitely having. Okay, so I often have vivid dreams, I know. But the past few nights have been…

Even with medicine’s amazing triumph over diseases like polio and certain types of cancer, no one has yet to figure out a cure for the common cold. Continuing this very sad cycle of late posts, I am just not up and moving around at 11:00 in the morning. Why? Because I have a cold. Yesterday was the worst of it, I think. Very sore throat. Ear ache. Tiredness. Nausea. Yucky. I got a ton of rest, but when I was asleep, I dreamed I was in a talent show but could not sing because my throat was sore. Ha! I…

No, I haven’t been on blog strike. I’ve just been a bad girl. Well, good in some ways. I didn’t write a blog yesterday morning because I was sound asleep. Now, normally, you could scold me for that, but I had a really really good reason this time. I stayed up the night before all through the night to write, and I actually ended up with almost 7000 words in one day! I finally made it to sleep around 7’ish, which is when G was getting up. It was definitely productive, but I was Tired. This morning, I don’t have…

Once a year, Everquest II devotees like myself look forward to the release of a new expansion. This year, it happens next Tuesday… or maybe Wednesday. G and I went in to Game Stop to pre-order two copies and they told us to pick it up on the 19th. Officially, however, the game was supposed to come out on the 18th. So… it comes out on one or the other. Anyway, the expansion is the fourth for EQ2 and is called “The Shadow Odyssey”. For the first time, there is no character level increase included with the expansion and I…
