update

Thursday night before the Barn Dance Patty & I went to the new VINYL location on 77th and 2nd for dinner.

I went to the barn dance and was fine until about 30 mnutes afterwards.

It soon became clear I had food poisoning and I was puking until about 7:30 in the morning.

Yesterday I slept a lot, read some and ate two pieces of toast.

Today I've had apple juice (and shortly) toast. I'm planning rice later.

I hadn't puked in about ten years, and that I don't remember very well because it was in teh midst of another medical emergency. The last time I really remember such a thing I was 22. I don't deal with puking well, and this time it immediately kicked me back into a situation where I almost died. So this has been harder on my head in some ways than on my body.

Today I am going to work, to try to catch up on things. I also need to catch up on my grad school app tonight and a lot of other stuff.

I am going to try to take it easy all weekend, maybe eat some plain chicken tonight, in hopes that I will be normal by Monday for work and fencing.

progress

Did my work, ate my rice, didn't die.

Registered for ComicCon NY as a pro. We'll see how that goes.

Am now going to the post office to send my recommendation forms out to said recommenders.

Tonight I am going to try to do the first draft of my personal statement which needs to cover who I am, why I write and why I want to go to Hunter in 500 words or less. I've got the first two down, and I wonder if it's wrong to say that the draw of Hunter is at least in part that it is somewhat culturally removed from my upbringing, even if said up bringing was 8 blocks away.

On the form I actually had to write how long I've been a resident of New York State. 35 years, 4 months.

Jeez.

I think we're doing Christmas tonight. Ha, finally!

Finally, my summary of Kushiel's Chosen? "World building, some shit happens, some other shit happens, some shit happens you should have expected but didn't, some shit happens that we can bet didn't happen in the first draft, Phedre almost dies, Phedre almost dies another way, hey, Phedre almost dies, some shit happens." I've got about 200 pages left, so we'll see where it goes from here. That bit of commentary aside, I'm quite taken with it.

weirdest thing I have seen on the Internet, possibly ever

Harry Potter slash pairings nail art.
