16 July 2003 ~ The week, or few days, or whatever...

I apologize for not updating this more regularly... As it is, I've been doing some MASSIVE updating to this site, but it's all stuff for my book, and therefore kept in a super-secret file that you'll probably never find. Alas.

Anyway, please don't think I'm ignoring you or anything; I'm just working on a lot of other stuff right now... Like, a SHITLOAD of other stuff...

Got lost in Renton last night with Jake. It was very amusing... We'd gone to visit some people in Seattle who were into some filming stuff, and Jake was suddenly of the opinion that the people simply MUST smoke weed, and that they MUST have been doing it in THAT room, probably IMMEDIATELY before we'd arrived... So, Jake convinced himself that he'd gotten a contact high... Understandably, this makes him nervous because of probation, and I truly do sympathize with that. However, it was also very funny, to be driving around a town with somebody who THINKS he's stoned, but isn't.

Saw a very nice doctor yesterday -- the first nice -- and seemingly competent -- doctor I've seen in FOREVER... That infection I had got better when I took the medication from the last doctor, but it didn't get ALL the way better, and I just want this piece of shit to go away once and for all... This doctor ran some blood tests, to make sure there's nothing REALLY wrong with me, and actually sat and talked with me -- and REALLY appeared to listen -- for quite awhile. Frankly, I was astounded. So, I'm still feeling a little shitty -- in medical terms, that's "low-grade chronic shittiness" -- but better than before, and I very much intend to be completely well VERY soon.

Slept very badly last night, so I took a nap today. But I had those awful half-awake/half-asleep dreams where you're dreaming you're asleep and you can't wake up. Just goes to show you that people are not meant to go to bed before midnight...

Right.

I'm signing off now. I've got homework to do...

Love,
