I think I have strep throat. I saw a bitchy doctor this morning, and then called in sick for the first time in over a year. I think it was approximately 16,000 degrees here today, no fun at all.

So yesterday I went on a date, even though I was sick. It was a blind date, my first one I think, and I was worried it'd be dreadful. Happily, it was not. We had a lovely time talking, but alas, no spark. For me, anyway... It was fun going out with a new person though, especially one as interesting as this. She is a forensic toxicologist, how fabulous, no? She's worked for the coroner's offices of Oakland, San Francisco, and San Diego. Sooo slick. Cool stories, even if nothing else.

Later that evening I saw Jason for a second, then went to the movie Craig and I had been planning to see half the week. It was called "High Tension," and the trailer was smashing. It looked scary as hell, and we're very into that. So off we went, and although the chick that was sorta the main character was absolutely divine, the movie ended sooo badly. And not bad as in tragic and sad, bad as in "someone's getting fired over this one!" Eeeeeegads. That said, it was still the highlight of my day.

So lately I've been feeling sooooo exhausted all the time. I dunno where it's coming from, but it explains my lack of blogging. It's funny, while working, driving, hanging out with friends, driving some more, I have these brilliant ideas for blogs, but once I get home I'm either too tired to remember or too tired to put forth the effort. And so all you find is the periodic, uninspired entry.

Last weekend I think I received indirect word that my ex was going into Navy boot camp on the following monday. I decided in a moment of weakness to allow contact to be made, I had requested no further communication months before. It had been nice. Anyway, I broke my own rule and allowed her to call. We spoke and I told her I didn't believe that she was actually going in. She has a history of storytelling, shall we say? Eventually she sent me an alleged copy of her papers in a photoshop file, but I haven't got photoshop to open it. I continued to wonder. Days went by, and no word, no blog, nothing. I wondered if perhaps she had actually been telling the truth for once, and if so, how long she could possibly make it in the Navy. By the third day, though, there was a new blog. It was about nothing in particular, made no reference to anything Navy, no explanations as to why she was still home. *rolls eyes* Some things never change.


So I've just seen my new favorite movie. Or it's on the top 5 list, anyway. It's called Tipping the Velvet, it's a lesbian movie, and it's absolutely exquisite. I'm so going to have to buy it. Yup. It was beautiful.
