Well, I did manage to get some of the cesspit that is our apartment clean. :) Which is good and I can at least say that I've done something proactive. Currently doing laundry.

I also feel less like poop and more like heavily watered... not poop. Not 100% but not in danger of falling down the stairs anymore. I was good enough to actually walk to the mall with

sydneycat for the matinee of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which was like the creepiest fucking episode of Law and Order ever. Which, y'know, is a complinment. I like courtroom drama. And it was creepy as hell, which was fun. Only had to scrape

sydneycat off the cieling once though, so it could've been creepier. ;) Seriously, it was... thought provoking.

Most of yesterday was spent moping around with

morlock both being sick, but there was the tail end of watching Captain Blood with the gang. God, Olivia De Havilland is a beautiful woman... and yes, I was shocked to find out she's still around. Teaching Sunday school to French kids right now. Wow. And after that, there was more Firefly goodness. Wow. Joss Whedon, let me tell you. That man knows how to use his actor's facial expressions to great advantage. Usually preceding a cut to commercial.

Today was spent mostly out and about as I felt better. First

captainlove showed up early this morning to take me to breakfast at Stables, with the accompanying conversation which he is inevitably good for. Bundled him off with all of my Transmetropolitan (because cantankerous bastards need role models too ;) ) and Neverwhere - figured he'd like Croup and Vandermar. He should enjoy those.

Note to self - need to go back to Lane Bryant and get some stretch jeans that are actually, well my size. I mean the black ones still look damned fine on me (as evidenced by how

morlock playfully broke a wooden spoon across my ass this morning) but... well, they could be a wee bit tighter...

syd and I went to the movies, came back, didn't feel like staying home, and then went to Rao's for a while. She read, I worked on a story idea I've been playing with for a while... I've got the back story nailed down, and I know how the story opens, but I have no idea how it ends and how it gets there and how the four main characters find each other again. I also need to fill in this blank with one to three syllables:

"Your daddy was the Magic Man
Your mama was his _______"

I've tried "Muse" and "Lady", but neither have much that rhyme with them, and I'd, well, like to go a little bit further with this thing than two line. It's supposed to end up as the beginning of a nursery rhymish type of song. Gotta play with it some more, I'll eventually figure out something that fits. But, y'know, suggestions are welcome. Anyway, I did quite a bit of scribbling on that. Might do some more later if I feel inspired.
