Squirrel Power

Dedicated to the enduring and enlightening power of the lithe and energetic tree rat. I am Squirrel Girl - one with the squirrel-like power to dart, shriek and eat until I'm sick.

Whiffle Time

We played whiffle ball at the purple house on Sunday night after a French toast feast. (Thank you Christopher, Kyle and Scott). While there, Bunny snapped some cool pictures.



I was planning on living in the purple house but now plans have changed and I'm moving in at the compound with MHat. Fortunately, Christopher was very understanding about it. I owe him big time. How about 2 new couches, Chris?

Ultra Sound Part Deux


Well it was another fun day at Athens Diagnostic. This time I got probed by a magic wand with a camera in it. My right ovary looked like the picture above, the one I found under "cystic ovary" in google image search. My left ovary looked way different. The lady had me get in the stirrups and insert the pokey stick "like a tampon". More like a dildo, lady. That was a hell of a lot bigger than a period plug.
I'm sure most of you are unable to keep reading. Now that I've lost the 5 readers I have I will say that I hope I don't have to get any organs removed. Some girl at the video store recommended I get cysts removed b/c her friend had cancer that the doctor thought was just a lump. I have to wait until 3 pm tomorrow to see the doctor. I asked the lady at the health clinic "Is there any way I can find out about my results before tomorrow?" and she replied "Dr. Kramer isn't in until tomorrow at 3, she doesn't have morning slots." Answer the question phone troll. I hate unintelligent receptionists. If I had a secretary I would pay double and require him/her to have a degree and know what the fuck is going on. Then shit might get done.

Blowin Terds


Well I went to the doctors after my boyfriend felt my abdomen and looked worried. So the doctor was first worried about air trapped in my caecum, the connection between the large and small intestine. For this she had me take laxatives. So I shit and threw up for about 2 hours last night. I felt worse than I had in a LONG time. It was like my instestines were being rolled through a meat grinder with spiky teeth. At one point I was shitting while throwing up between my legs (and all over the place). Now that's fun! I had to blow my nose for a while because a bunch of barf went up my nose. Yeck. I wake up this morning and go to see the doctor again, still having abdominal discomfort. Turns out I might have an ovarian cyst. Yeehaw! Hopefully it won't explode between now and Tuesday when I get my ultrasound. Easy money!

snooze it up


I wish I was one of those people that could wake up and jog at dawn everday. Then I would take a hot shower, eat a breakfast of grapenuts or fruit with cottage cheese and be ready for my day by 7 am. I would go to bed at 10 pm each night after finishing all my work, cleaning the house and paying the bills. I would also be anal-retentive.
I am the kind of person who doesn't officially wake up until 10 am. You might see me walking around before then, but don't let my open eyes fool you. I hate jogging/running. Bacon, egg and cheese biscuits are my kind of breakfast. And organized? I've been vowing to "get it together" every year since I was in 3rd grade and became aware of my procrastination problem.
Just some morning revelations.
PS I think I have either
1) pulled a muscle
2) a hernia
3) appendicitis
4) really wicked intestinal issues

What a day

Today I:
1) went to work and watched TV
2) ate lunch with Julia and her friend Sarah - I bought Sarah A Wrinkle in Time b/c she had never read it and she's 13 - and she's adorable
3) went to the Health Center - let's just say I'm taking Diflucan, ladies can you feel me?
4) said goodbye to Matt's mama - she's amazing
5) looked up and found one badass movie - I had forgotten the title
Sin noticias de Dios (2001) .... Davenport
... aka Bendito infierno (Mexico) (Spain)
... aka Don't Tempt Me (USA)
... aka Nessuna notizia da Dio (Italy)
... aka No News from God (USA)
... aka Sans nouvelles de Dieu (France)
... aka Without News of God (USA)
You can find it at Vision Video under Don't Tempt Me. It's awesome, and here's a description.
Readthis
In the movie the devil is portrayed by Senor Tentacion himself, Gael Garcia Bernal.

He got really mad at me for snapping that one. Whoops!
The cat or dog just farted and I can't continue this post.

Goin down


Bryan's back from Iraq
He called me
I'm happy

In honor of this special occasion, some choice lyrics from ODB:

My advantage on the M-I-C is the slang
That I manifest so you could never hang
Obviously you know my name by now
I done thrown stupid parties all through your town
Dirt Megirt...that's my motherfucking name
Love to flirt...that's my motherfucking name
They said "Who wanna be an MC?"
I am the original G-O-D
Making young ladies scream (is) my speciality
See my style, different from yours
Make young bitch want to drop their drawers

Memoirs of a Hoebag


Last night I watched Memoirs of a Geisha with Julia. I'm not sure how historically accurate it was, but it was very visually stunning. I would have liked it better if the women had practiced martial arts and functioned as killing-seducing machines. But my imagination likes to misconstrue things like that...
I did not know that they sold their virginity to the highest bidder. That's an interesting concept - and also the creepiest scene in the movie. I'd rather be poor than let an old man crawl all over me. Yech.

Para Viktor


I recently found out my friend is transgender and he is now considering himself male.
I am so happy that he is one step closer to being himself fully.
My brain doesn't have a sex - when I think and act it's not from a gendered perspective. My body tells me I am sexually a female. But I could change that if I really wanted to.
Gender vs. Sex - do you believe in that?

"Viktor"
Eres nuevo
Un huevo roto
Una vida preciosa
Que esperaba
Y deseaba
Aparecer
Y el momento llego
Aqui me miras
Y te llamas
Hombre
Macho
Masculino
Y yo celebro
todo que
tienes por dentro
si es "masculino"
si es "femenino"
Solo quiero adorar una cosa
Tu

I do a lot of drugs


Life lesson #3,984 - Don't try to start taking birth control after a 7 month hiatus AND quit smoking at the same time. Something is wrong with me - and I think the lack of nicotine and new surge of fake hormones might have something to do with it. The only thing I want to listen to is Wesley Willis, because his angry rants and spastic keyboard looping matches the frantic brain patterns and erratic mood swings that I am having.

"When smokers try to cut back or quit, the absence of nicotine leads to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal is both physical and mental. Physically, the body is reacting to the absence of nicotine. Psychologically, the smoker is faced with giving up a habit, which is a major change in behavior. Both must be dealt with if quitting is to be successful."
Withdrawal symptoms can include any of the following:

dizziness (may only last 1-2 days in the beginning)
depression
feelings of frustration and anger
irritability
trouble sleeping
trouble concentrating
restlessness
headache
tiredness
increased appetite

I'll do anything, Bob


Sometimes when I am panicking and desperately trying to find a job for next year, I start to question whether a 2 year degree in Spanish Literature was worth the $18,000 debt and apparent lack of job marketability. Well, except for public and private schools - they love me. They love anyone that will sign a year contract to be tortured by their delightful little angels.
Reading this, while browsing ratemyprofessor.com, made me feel a little better, though. I get good evaluations, it's just nice to know their not BSing me.
Awww
Does anyone need a personal assistant? I'm going for 30K a year. But think about how much I could do for you!

Je vais voir


Te vere, yo se, te vere
Y que hare? Que hare?
Je suis fatige, je ne peux pas penser
De tois, d'il, de moi
Es la hora de dormir
C'est l'heur de rester
Porque continuas asi?
Porquoi ne me consideres pas oussi?
No puedo explicar que paso,
Et je ne se pas dire,
La razon por sus acciones
Ta histoire
Ni
son
corazon,
la chose
que tembla
et danse
durante la noche
pendant le noir.
Duermate
Espere le matin
Y el fin de la tormenta
Quelque tu as en la terre de son couer.

Bing Bong


I think the end of the semester is finally getting to me. I'm really starting to lose it. I can't get that damned Zacheus song from my church childhood out of my head. WTF? Just in case you forgot it, or you want to hear what my brain sounds like..

My Hero!


Stephen Colbert is amazing and boy does he have some big balls! His roast of the president non-elect makes me worry that he might magically "disappear" one day due to "strange circumstances." I've got your back, Stephen.

White Liner


I can't get enough of the Low Lows and/or Parker and Lily these days. They're on myspace LowLows if you haven't heard any of their newer stuff. I'm just hoping they will play out again soon. There aren't many local Athens bands that excite me this much. Venice is Sinking is amazing and Boulevard is fun, but that's about all that I can listen to repeatedly.
I really hope that the Low Lows "make it" one day because to me they are ahead of their time. And they're really nice people, too! :)
I'm supposed to start learning drums or relearning the keyboard soon. We'll see how that goes...
