Oh, I remember that dress.

I have also never been on a date. At least, I don't think so.

I should go get dinner, but it is pouring with rain here and now I don't want to leave the hotel.

I know that feeling very well, ND! The "but now I'm AT the hotel, and going out feels like such a PITA. And then I won't be near my computer and the internet. But even if the hotel has room service, it's ridiculous expensive and not good. BLAH"

(I am home from hanging out in the park a bit, and am eating pad thai and watching ANTM Season 1. Though I am miffed because suddenly I'm getting a message while trying to see Oxygen channel through my TiVo that says "you need Digital to see this channel"! I can still watch by switching over to the cable box, but...wtf?? Will this happen to all my chanels? Will my TiVo be useless?? OH NOES!!! I have it rigged to go through the cable box then through the TiVo, so maybe it's JUST the TiVO that is not playing well! EEEEK!)

meara, you need an HD TiVO in order to record and watch HD channels. Wait... is that a different issue?

I am pretty out of it. Got up at 3:30am to get out of NOLA... had made early escape plans because of the commencement tomorrow. Now is not so necessary. But anyway.

New Orleans was fun and tiring.

Job~ma, raq.

I am tird. Must sleep.

HD channels are another issue..

all the channels around here are telling me that they will only be broadcasting in digital -- but since I have digital cable ...

edit for lots of missing letters

I have found being not in a relationship better than being in an unhappy relationship, for whatever that's worth.

This is me. I am in the place of thinking I'm quite fine either way, in or out.

It does seem ironic that I have such highly developed skills helping other people with their relationships and yet no one is showing up to be in one with me.

Ah well, to quote Sinead O'Connor quoting someone else, 'I do not want what I cannot have.'

In other me news, I've been doing the medically prescribed no-gluten thing for about a month. Along with this, I'd eschewed corn because I just think my system doesn't like it.

My bff brought parmesan popcorn to the movie and treated me to a luxurious Mexican dinner this evening. It was delicious. But, I started itching all over in the movie and now, my foot is swollen more than it has been in months and I've got my first case of indigestion in a long time.

Boo. I hate having to give up something I like so much and even more, I hate when I know something I shouldn't do and then do it anyway either out of convenience or lust. Shame on me.

Oh bonny, I feel you. Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, wheat-for the psoriatic arthritis. Now I'm fearing the banishment of spinach (my fave veg Evar), broccoli and kale for iodine-ish issues and the hashimoto's.

I'm just gonna go over here and sit with a can of Blue Lake green beans and a fork for the rest of my life, I guess. Or lettuce. You know, I'd rather not eat than reduce my diet to lettuce.

I have no idea how people meet people to date.

Yeah. I tried online dating in large part because at least then I knew what everyone was there for.

I'm sorry Sean. It's a hard position to be in.
