Back to work
Category: health
At least I am not nauseus anymore. I still don't know if it was the flu or crohn's as now I kind of feel the crohn's is coming out of remission - a place I prefered it to be. I am just hoping it is instead the lingering affects of the flu. I can't wait for the next extremely stressful three days of work.

With all the fun of the weekend, I managed to lose about 6 pounds. So much for all that work at the gym. Hopefully, I am just super dehydrated and some of it will come back.

In my dream ast night, the guy, who had been trying to kill me in my dreams throughout the weekend drama, made up and he promised not to kill me. So thats good I guess.

Luckily, the playstation had this fun game to occupy my the few hours I was up.



I really like the playstation network, they have so many games you can demo or buy. I beats having to go to the store, escpecially when your car and yourself are both broken.

The shittiest day ever
Category: health
Either I have been food poisoned, I have the flu or it's some new level of crohns. I spent all day feeling so terribly sick with fever wretching, aching etc.. Our car battery broke, our basement window got flooded and our roof is leak.

I just want my mom or (e:lilho).
fellyconnelly - 12/29/08 06:38
oh man, this sucks! I hope you feel better soon, you've got some partying to do in a few days!
james - 12/28/08 20:10
feel better... or else!
metalpeter - 12/28/08 11:08
Well I hope what ever is wrong gets better. I will admit the wanting your mom seems kinda weird to me, but the wanting (e:lilho) seems to make sense, hopefully things get better.
matthew - 12/28/08 00:35
Oh, don't worry Paul. (E:lilho) will be here soon for you. Actually, terry and I have decided that when Sarah comes to visit, she can sleep with you in our
sicky flu bedroom, and terry and I will take the un-sick blue guest room for the next two weeks. 'cause it's not like I was the one who took the bus tonight to get you Gatorade!! And (e:hodown), you can stay with us during your visit, being that we are useless.

WTF? I took care of you all of those years. I didn't do a good job?
heidi - 12/27/08 20:42
awwwww <pet pet>
johnallen - 12/27/08 19:54
Sorry to hear that Paul.... Hope you get better soon.

Mike and his new phone

He finally entered the world of keyboard phones. I remember when
everyone made fun of mr for typing on my phone. Now everyone wants a
keyboard.

libertad - 12/26/08 22:25
I finally just ordered mine and it is on its way! I chose maroon because i didn't want to get it confused with mike's. (e:fellyconnelly) did give me the same advice and I will never text from the outside and I did get a case for it. I also got the stupid insurance for it and upped my text messaging so I could get full use of the keyboard.
fellyconnelly - 12/26/08 20:19
its hardly a smartphone, but please make sure you get some sort of case for it and don't text from the outside! trust me!
mike - 12/25/08 23:28
if you think i am excited about my new phone, youshould see the excitement I have from your checkbook you left here. That was a nice christmas suprise to have a whole book of blank checks! Thanks santa!
tinypliny - 12/25/08 16:44
I don't even want a phone around, forget a smartphone.

Nothing says Christmas brunch

Like Manischewitz homestyle Potato Latkes!

carolinian - 12/31/08 16:22
The box is probably using potatoes that are peeled and washed. It tends to be kind of bland.

Really good homemade latkes get a lot of their taste from leaving the skin on and the juices intact (kinda like with fresh-cut french fries). I also found out the hard way with the first batch I ever made (10+ years ago) that you have to add egg+onion, otherwise the latkes come out as hash browns instead of potato pancakes.
fellyconnelly - 12/26/08 20:19
i made these a few weeks ago... i LOVE potato pancakes!
paul - 12/25/08 19:27
Not sure my mother bought it. I think though, that there is no need for a box. It looked just like cut up potatoes fried in a pan.
tinypliny - 12/25/08 16:36
I had to look up what Latke meant. And man, I have never had a latke before! Where did you get this mix? Wegmans?

Wrapping gifts

I get better at it every year. This year I moved onto envelopes. The
gem is really my primitive use of pseudo perspective. Nothing screams
MFA like this masterpeice.
