(no subject)

I thought I was done being sick last night when I crawled into bed, but apparently not so. I think I ate something bad yesterday, or something that disagreed with me rather strenuously. Sitting outside at Opal's didn't help, and I had to cancel plans and go home early. Ugh.

SO Metallica paid $40,000 a month to a therapist who is not licensed as such and refers to himself as a "performance enhancement coach"? Did they really expect filming the process would make us like them more? This is rather strange, sad and excessive.

All in all, the article makes a good point that rock stars aren't paid to ever grow up.

Quote: "You wonder how these people will react to an extended sequence in ''Some Kind of Monster'' in which Ulrich sips Champagne and sells his collection of modern artwork at a Christie's auction for $13.4 million."

I think it is safe to say that all the fans Metallica tried to sue over Napster will rest easy in their dislike. I stopped listening to Metallica around then, in part because I was growing older and different, and in part because suing your damned fans when you're freaking millionaires is the most tacky, ugly thing thing to do.

I gave away two gmail invites on Gmail Swap today, and I still have two more left. First two people to ask get them.

I had no idea that the Street Fighter movie was ao incredibly cheesy and bad. Damn.

Clean, clean, clean. I want my own house so I can do laundry whenever I damn well feel like it.

I am rather peeved we didn't win the lottery.

It's scorching outside on the pavement.

We have $20 worth of change floating around the house.

Alan cleaned a lot today, and I ran some laundry. I want us to have our own home, so we can have our own washer and dryer. Amongst other things, but that seems like such a huge thing to me. I was lucky to have a set of my own for years.

We went to large scary chain stores where people travel in packs with their children in tow, or drive ridiculous SUVs to pick up things for home improvement projects. The Mercedes SUV has got to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. If one is going to pay for a bige luxury vehicle, one would think it would be nice to purchase something not so hideous.

My bath bomb fizzed a lot and turned the water blue. That was superbly funny. Another thing that would be nice about a home of our own would be a bigger bathroom.
