Saturday, December 13, 2003 Today I am feeling:
Books I am reading: How to Speak, Read, and Write Elvish When You Should Be Studying For Finals aka Ardalambion which isn't really a book it's a webpage, but hey, close enough Games I am playing: the university of life bureaucracy game Well, the elvish obsession has begun anew, the third installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy comes out next week, and, despite the fact I have finals both the day before and the two days after it opens, I will likely go see it. Until then, I am learning a wee bit of elvish, so when I explain to my teachers why I am late for the final, they will understand, yannow? I haven't found a resource yet with the word "obsession" but I'm working on it. So, keeping with the elvish thing, my mood indicator for the next few days will be in Elvish, or rather Quenya, so if you don't know how to read it or anything, mayhaps this and this and this and this will help. And if you need help writing it, try this. In other news, as I said finals are coming, finals are coming and I've got one major art project to do that I haven't even started on (well unless ya count the sketch, which of course sucks, so bad in fact, the teacher had to HELP me yesterday "fix" it) and then a dumb typography project that I don't wanna do but at least I get to use the computer to do the lettering yay. Plus I've got to study for finals, which I really should be doing now instead of writing in my blog, but alas I don't feel like studying. In family stuff, which I know I rarely talk about, but hey here goes, my step-dad is sick yet again and in the hospital yet again. My mom was on Jury Duty last week and of course, the fates decided that would be a good time to make my step-dad sick, seeing as that would re-inforce my mother's idea that she alone is responsible for keeping the Earth from spinning out of control by staying at home and watching Court TV all day. So, she got a real chance to watch Court TV only it wasn't TV, and she was on the jury for some trial she can't talk about oooh. Anyway, step-dad was home and being a man, unable to take care of himself hehe. He didn't feel well so went to bed, and mom thought he just had a cold or flu or something, and that he seemed fine and my step-brother who was there too thought the same. But it turns out it wasn't just a cold or flu it was a brain hemorrhage. Actually, two of them. Lovely. So, early this morning he had surgery and I dunno how he is yet, but my mom called and they said he was "awake" so she'll go see him later and I probably should go but then it would turn into an all day ordeal and I really should be studying for finals cuz I don't wanna blow an entire semester. Grrrr.... So, I've got finals stress and family stress and eek my step-dad might die stress (he's had close calls before, but he is old and feeble and had been "sick" for a few days and not eaten much of anything so he's weak to boot, and a bleeding brain doesn't sound all that hopeful, but we shall see.) The good news is that this thing isn't spontaneous so much as it's apparently related to his medication that he takes because he had a heart valve replaced a few years ago and is on blood thinners and apparently his blood got too thin which is why his brain leaked. So, it is controllable hopefully and not as bad as having a leak inside your brain that just happens. Maybe this will get him to take his doctor's orders more seriously though, cuz his doctor has been on his case majorly to get him to pay attention to what he eats cuz certain foods mess up your Coumadin levels big time (like avocados.) Oh and apparently my mom's dog has developed a limp, too, to add to the family troubles. Karma must be biting today. Maybe I should pray to "God" to forgive us for ignoring him. <snicker> BTW, the Blogger.com spellchecker doesn't know the word "blog", odd no?
