01:15 am - reasons to keep a paper map in the car.
I got a USB cord for my GPS! (related story: I have a GPS!) and so I can connect it to the computer and I was hoping to update the maps on the GPS but that's seventy dollars.
SEVENTY DOLLARS!
No cheap little keep-you-from-driving-off-a-cliff update, or a fancy here's-everything-you-could-possibly-want update. Seventy dollars, take it or leave it. Slightly cheaper at Amazon.com.
Well, that or I can pay $110 or so and have map updates for life. Now that sounds pretty nice. If only I had $110, I'd be all set. (sigh)
I did find that I can search a location on Google! Maps and then send it right to my GPS, though. Now that's pretty dang awesome, I must say.

03:41 pm - Drugs are bad, mm'kay?
Got some new drugs since some blood test numbers are a little off. One of 'em's Crestor. The nurses told me to tell them if I had the muscle aches that Crestor can cause; after one dose, yep, I got 'em. I called the clinic expecting them to say "Aw, that's too bad," but they told me to stop taking them. I'm glad to hear that... or I would be glad except I seem to have lost the ability to feel anything other than "like crap".
I have hope, though. I know that this stuff will work its way out of my system and then I will feel better. That is the plan and the plan is good.

08:11 pm - Meow Twitter!
Cookie, as you may or may not know, is a member of myspace simply because myspace is stupid and pointless. http://www.myspace.com/kittycatcookie
And so for that very same reason, except this time it is Twitter who is stupid and pointless, that Cookie has joined Twitter. Expect his posts to be full of clever except for they are less than 140 characters and he is a cat. http://www.twitter.com/kittycatcookie
Go on and follow him on Twitter, but don't expect him to follow you back. He won't. Twitter is stupid. STUPID, I TELL YOU!
I have no icon of Cookie here so I'm using the gazebo. Makes sense to me.

02:08 am - bookstore fun.
I was looking over a table at my bookstore labeled "For Grads," scanning each book with the little hand-held computer thingys we have, and found one that didn't belong. When I took it to the desk to be taken care of, that left a blank spot on the table, so I looked through Humor for a book to replace it. (The section I wanted to look at was too far away, since I was technically at the registers and didn't want to abandon 'em.) There it was: a book about How to Become a Ninja. Perfect, right? I updated the table's list in the hand-held computer thingy so it looked like it was supposed to be there. The best part is that someone later bought a copy off that table.

03:37 pm - An update! The crowd goes wild.....
Yeah I got nothin'.
Annali, you want a recipe for Caribbean Jerk Chicken? It must be authentic, since it tasted like the stuff I had at Smalley's Caribbean BBQ and Pirate Bar which you should totally come to town to visit 'cause you would love it.

And why is the entire U.S. Media all atwitter about Twitter?

05:28 pm
Why don't these people have LiveJournal?

05:27 pm
I mean why would anyone want to restrict themselves to 140 characters?

OMG Twitter is so stupid.

01:57 am - Oboy! An update!
My knee is all better. I have another cold now; that makes two that started while I was still recovering from the previous one, or three awful colds all jammed together. Hug your immune system, people.
Oh, and to the Yahoo! Answers Computer Thingus I would just like to say-- because it seems appropriate, or perhaps "squmbly," to coin an (awfully silly) word-- @)%^_@(!^%)#))@%^* and also ~.
see previous post to make sense of previous sentence. somewhat.

Wow, I haven't been on-line in a long time. How's everyone? I don't have time to read my friends page right now, sorry.
Nearly every answer I type on Yahoo! Answers makes this little thingus pop up that says, "It looks like you have a lot of punctuation." Sorry, Yahoo! Computer Thingus, but I really like punctuation.

Yep, it's a sprain. That word isn't bad enough, it should be a WRENCH or a SPIKE or maybe a BENDING GONE HORRIBLY WRONG. I think I like "wrench" the best. I wrenched the heck out of my knee. You can guess how the doctor visit went: I sat in the room with the paper-wrapped chair for a bit, then the nurse came and told me to go do x-rays (which, admittedly, were not as uncomfortable as humanly possible; that's nice of them), then the doc and I chatted for a bit, then we played a little game of "Does THIS hurt?" and then he told me I either hurt or tore my lateral collateral ligament. I have to crutches around for a week and a half; if it still hurts like a (fill in your favorite swear word here) after two weeks, I have to go back and have it more closely looked at.
So I'm crutchesing around for awhile. My goodness does it stink to live in a house with stairs. I wonder how, or if, I'll be able to work on Friday. He gave me a prescription for pain drugs but we forgot to go get it filled. Boo.

Update: I did my taxes the next day on Dad's computer on turbotax.com. I also has my refund now kthxbye. AWEXOME! It's the one time of year it's nice to be poor, y'know?
Also: I sprained my knee last night so I'm spending today on the couch. Later I'm going to the doc where they will, most likely, ask me to put it in the most uncomfortable position and hold it there to take X-rays. What else is new?
Dad & I are going to the Food & Wine Show at the end of February. I will totally geek out, foodwise, and Dad will patiently follow me around and sample foods. When I was little I accompanied him to the Golf Show once; this, finally, will be the payback. :D
