The Good News:
I got a 99% on the Combinatorics test. W00t for me!
The ... eh... News:
For a while I've been thinking that I hadn't had any cranberry juice in a decent amount of time. And that I really should get some. Anyone who has had a kidney stone, or as seen someone who has a kidney stone, knows why. Apparently (according to more than one person), having a kidney stone is the most painful experience a person can have.
At about 4a.m. something told me, in a rather urgent manner, that it was time to get some cranberry juice. So, off to the store I go, AlphaClone in tow, so someone can drive should I collapse either from the pain of a kidneystone, or simply running short of breath (something I seem to be doing quite a bit now, even though I'm on the upswing after the sickness). And I get a jug of highly acidic, bitter/sour, urinary tract defender, my hero and maybe yours, Cranberry Juice.
Having drained about 5 cups of cranberry juice, dissolving the lining of my throat, I shall now hope that the twinges I am feeling on the left side of the middle-lower of my back are simply my kidney's complaining about the volume of fluid I have been sending through them lately. My late habit of drinking two bottles of Gatorade at a sitting cannot have been kind. Drinking 5 cups of cranberry juice is also not the nicest of things I could be doing to them, but sometimes tough love is called for.
The Bad News:
This portion of your entertainment may be filled in at any point in the future when the pain climbs to such a point that I am indeed certain that I have a kidney stone. At such a point, the entertainment will be mutual as you all can read about it, some of you can see it on my face, and I'm going to dope the fuck out of myself with the painkillers they gave me last time. (Cause I just don't have the cash to go to the hospital again.)
Until next time, let's hope there's no Bad News.
I'm thinking of removing the comment function. Most of the stuff I post really doesn't get many legitimate comments, instead I get bullshit posts from "people" who say "Yes, very interesting." or "You are so right!", with a porn site as their personal page.
Who the fuck decided that this was a good advertising method?
I know, lets post advertisements in people's blogs. That'll really make them want to buy our product.
Fuckers, all of them. I need a team of people to track them to a physical location, unlimited money for airfare, hotel stays and cab rides, and a rolled up newspaper.
And that's how I would make the world a better place.
I have a test in combinatorics today. I'm not really looking forward to it. I just don't have the same confidence in myself as I do in Automata Theory. Speaking of which, I believe I did really well on the AT test Thursday. Hopefully I'm not disappointed in my results.
Unfortunately, I spend most of last night alternating between violent shivering and sweating. I really don't have time to get the Outer Mongolian Death Flu right now.
I think I should also get a humidifier, as I'm waking up dehydrated, with a totally dry mouth and throat. My room is also too damned hot, but I don't think that leaving the door open would be a very good idea.
Reading back on this, I am either one whiny little bitch, or I'm sick. Probably both.
