The one really good thing about being super-sensitive to drugs is that you can get away with taking way fewer meds than most people. The really bad thing about being super-sensitive to drugs is that you have to spend $30 on the non-drowsy allergy meds for a cold because the $8 cold meds will have you unconscious for eighteen hours and then waking up feeling worse than you did before you took them.

This is a pointless post. Sorry.

So, uh, yesterday's post-of-actual-content didn't happen. Sorry about that; I wound up crashing out early.

On the plus side, the upward trend of feeling better continues. If the rate of improvement stays steady I should feel legit healthy by Monday? Maybe?

Mostly I'm now annoyed at myself because I missed the [livejournal.com profile] talking_chess livestream/party. I was looking forward to that. :|

Being sick is unpleasant enough, but then you suck it up and go to the doctor despite still not having medical insurance thanks Republicans and they just tell you that there's nothing actually wrong with you, lol sorry, pay at the front desk.

Arrrgh.

Something I learned over the past two days: everyone has exactly the same sense of humor when confronted with someone who has lost their voice. "What was that? Speak up, I couldn't hear you." "Why are you giving me the cold shoulder?" "You know, you've been really quiet today." "If you don't want me to do [thing that clearly should not be done] then speak up now!"

There was a lot of rude gesturing from me over the past two days. And occasional bouts of "I'm sick of trying to make myself understood, I will now mouth meaningless words while gesturing randomly and pretend that I'm actually saying something."

But! I seem to have my voice back now. I've stayed inside and not talked to people today in hopes of not blowing it out again since I have to be back at work tomorrow, but with luck it will stay back and I won't have to deal with this anymore.



While I was staying inside and not talking today, I watched the second episode of Alphas. Still enjoying it! Warming up to Gary. Rachel's still my favorite. Intrigued by the further hints of a dark past for Nina. This might be a new fandom for me. Anyone else at all watching it?

So I have deathplague! Deathplague here being my generic name for any illness that makes me feel hellish. I have no idea what the actual name of whatever I have is, I just know that it's messing with my lungs and throat and things connected to my sinuses.

Anyway, because I have a Work Ethic (and because I know that calling out would screw up everyone else's schedules in complicated ways) I went into work regardless. And I made it through, although many people were watching me with alarm at various points and halfway through the last show my voice gave out completely and the SM had to finish calling spot cues. But I made it. That's the important bit.

And because of that whole annoying Work Ethic thing, I'll wind up doing the same tomorrow, with or without voice. :/ But at least tomorrow I'll be a spot op and not ME, so I won't have to talk as much.

And now I'm going to drink a lot of orange juice and suck another cough drop and go to bed early.

Ugh, Broadway, why do I love you when every year you find a new way to break my heart? Stop breaking my heart, Broadway. Stop it.


Went to the dentist this morning to have some oral pain checked out. Verdict: signs are hazy, ask again later. May be a damaged nerve needing a root canal but tests to determine which nerve were inconclusive. May be the next tooth to need filling acting up. May be a sinus infection. Call back if it gets worse; otherwise, nothing can be done right now.

I love when my body rebels in such a vague way no one can figure out what the hell's going on.


In Sandman news, I've finished through Worlds' End and am about to start The Kindly Ones. I don't want to get to the end, then it will be over and I'll be sad. :|

Coming down with a cold, booo, and it's making me grumpy and lazy. Please don't point out that it would be hard to make me lazier than I usually am. I hate transition seasons.

Um.

Anyway.

Yesterday's dental work went okay. No more traumatic than usual.

My new love affair with Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson continues. Possibly I spent a significant chunk of today transcribing lyrics just to have them. (Although speaking of lyrics, if there are any other BBAJ fans reading this, in "The Corrupt Bargain", what's the line about James Madison? 'James Madison said something [something] 'bout this/But he was kind of a dick" and I can't quite make it out and arrrgh it is frustrating me.)

Anyway the 2011 Tonys are going to be so much more awesome than this past year's was. ...although I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment, aren't I? All the shows I'm rooting for this season are going to be overlooked for shows I don't care about, aren't they? ...on the other hand, I feel like there are enough new shows this season that I'm rooting for that at least one of them has to be nominated for something. Possibly even win!

(Maybe I hope BBAJ gets nominated just so I can see Ben Walker and his skintight jeans rocking the awards ceremony. Don't judge me too harshly?)

Anyway. BBAJ is the only one that's opened so far that I'm rooting for, but we still have Wonderland, Yank!, and Catch Me If You Can to go. Plus the Anything Goes revival. It's gonna be a good season.

(Yank! is still planning to open this season, isn't it? I can't find any dates confirming that. Plenty confirming that it will be opening on Broadway but no dates. :|)

IDK IDK. It's not like it would be hard for the 2011 Tony Awards to beat out 2010. *is not still bitter* I don't even know why I'm thinking about them this early in the season.



...this is the most purple icon I have.

Ow.

I think my body not-so-secretly hates me.

(Translation: The jaw and cheek pain is baaaack. Just in time for my dentist's office to be closed for the weekend so I can't talk to anyone about it until Monday. SCORE. :|)

I hate you, body.

Headed up to the dentist for a root canal. D:

Think good thoughts for me?

I CAN'T FEEL THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE

It's very irritating.

So I've been looking up recordings of "I Don't Believe In Heroes Anymore" on YouTube and listening to them. (Okay, mostly I've been listening to Raul's rendition over and over, but I'm pretty sure at this point I've listened to every other rendition on YouTube as well.) I don't know why I'm doing this, but it is taking my mind off the left side of my face SO THERE.

[/your daily dose of chica's brain]

Into day 2 of this headache. I hate my body. ...at least my stomach is no longer as upset as it was yesterday, that's something?

I think I'm going to put on Animaniacs and spend the day being unproductive.

Just got back from the dentist. Yes, again. This is probably going to be a regular thing for a while. I promise not to tell you every single time it happens, though. But this time my mouth is numb, I'm probably bleeding, I can still taste anesthetic, and I'm on a soft diet with no soda for the next three days, so I'm going to whinge in my journal for a bit.

WTF do you mean no soda. :( :( :(

...my priorities may be slightly skewed.

→ The Live At The Greek Theatre DVD is awesome, omg, no lie, trufax. It may have bumped them up the list of "bands I want to see live in concert", and they were already pretty high up there.

→ Today I made brownies. Which are currently cooking.

→ I was going to do laundry, but the washer does not appear to be working.

→ I also worked some more on that asexual!Kevin story I was talking about. I have it mostly written but I can't figure out an ending. Also I don't know if what I already have sucks or not. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about it. I'm not a good impartial judge. But mostly I just really want to find an ending.

→ → ...Regardless of if it sucks or not, regardless of if I finish it or not, I'm glad I've attempted it because it made me go back and rewatch TBD and that reminded me of just how much I love the show and all its characters. <3 ...I am still Not Okay with its cancellation. *sulks*

→ → But you know what the last fic I posted online was? 'sail fair to the far fields of fortune'. Which was almost a year ago. Seriously. I need to finish a fic and post it for my own sanity.

→ ...I'm so behind on Being Human. :/ I need to just sit down and watch the past few episodes. I want to watch them all in one sitting, though, which means I will need more time than I currently possess the ability to set aside. Maybe tomorrow when I am recovering from the trauma of seeing a dentist.

→ Speaking of which, tomorrow I go back to the dentist. Maybe this time they will actually do something to my teeth to justify the huge amounts of money they are charging me. Fingers crossed.

→ Oh, oh! Also, tomorrow is LOST. Maybe that and BH will balance out the huge amount of haaaaaaate and trauma that medical professionals tend to inspire in me.

→ This entry is so disjointed.

Have set up dentist appointment with my mom's dentist for Wednesday. Luckily it is in walking distance.

Have very strong feeling I will have a panic attack at some point during this appointment. Possibly before it even begins. They will ask me some completely rational, reasonable question, and I won't know the right answer and will go into a panic, and they will back away from the crazy girl having trouble breathing in their office. This is why I don't do things that require me to interact with people.

...also it's going to be ridiculously expensive and I am unemployed with no insurance. THANKS A LOT, HEALTH REFORM. ...you fail, American health care.


...also, the heat is off and I'm cold and sulky.


...also also, yesterday was Beka Day and I feel bad that I didn't do anything wrt that. Um. Happy belated Beka Day!

...Really? Really?

...I don't even know, man. But it's FOX, and we all know how Fox deals with science fiction, amirite.


A vein in my left eyelid is spasming. It has been doing so for approx. 24 hours now and is really annoying. I googled it and just found a lot of advice to get more sleep (yeah, thanks, like I didn't already know my sleep patterns are inadequate but I CAN'T FIX THAT), drink less caffeine (hdu), and wait for it to go away on its own (...). You have failed me, Google.


I still need to watch this week's Being Human, but I don't want to do so while my eyelid is throbbing because I won't be able to pay the proper amount of attention. :( WAS IT EPIC? I BET IT WAS EPIC.
