Earl came by to help us with our computer. He reformatted our hard drive. Reinstalled Windows 98. And the fucking thing still won't play dvds. Earl was very frustrated by the time he left. Part of me just wants to buy a new Mac and get it over with.

In other news, a big bird came and took a big crap on my nice clean car. Why is this more distressing to me than the blue smoke coming out the tailpipe on start-up?

Feeling much better. And definitely feeling cleaned out. I'm going to use the ordeal to my advantage and try to watch my eating habits more closely, hopefully resetting my system for the better.

I am home ill today. Really ill. I woke up this morning and I thought my abdomen was going to explode. I had a bunch of egg salad yesterday, and some hummus, so I thought maybe I just had some severely built up gas. (I know it's not food poisoning, Ben ate the same stuff and he's fine.) I went into the bathroom and the little bugs inside me told my body to throw up, even though my stomach was empty. So I wretched for awhile and got rid of all that useless stomach acid. Then I quickly had to seat myself on the commode I had been leaning over and the real fun began. 10 liquid shits and half a bottle of Kaopectate later I feel a bit better, well enough to risk taking 20 steps away from the bathroom, but too scared to eat anything.
Last night Ben was restless, as I was drifting off, he asked me some pointless question (which I can't remember due to grogginess) and I answered and then told him I had almost been asleep. He said he was anxious about starting the new job and asked,"How come you can fall asleep so fast everynight?" Completely deadpan I replied, "Clean living." And giggled madly, I'd been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use that with someone and I was delighted I remembered to use it while half asleep. Of course, after that I was wide awake.

Ben and I went to "Flying Pie" and played Battleship while waiting for our pizza. He sank my battleship, repeatedly.

I finally washed my car. Apparently tree sap will strip paint right off of sheet metal. Please, learn from my mistake. Don't let this happen to you.
