11:49 am - Rabbit in Recovery
|
The happy news: Fluffy avoided liver failure and has been nursed to semi-health.
The not-so-happy news: poor thing is still not yet healthy; has developed a fear of towels, the vet and travel; has become paranoid of all three.
The bad news: $1,000+ in vet bills in four days, not counting today's and next week's check-ups. Yes, you read the number correctly. >_< OMG OUCH. I'm glad Fluffy is better, but ouch ><
Cheers for the rabbit (the lop that think's he's a dog oO), he's a survivor, people!

Oh God, my chinchilla died. My Fuité is gone. I'm not sure how well I can keep Leia alive, now, as she starves herself after a few days apart from her sister. Guess I'll be forcing food down her throat until she recovers if she starts doing that again.

Under his guidance, the company has captured four consecutive college-division, first-place awards in the region’s Olympiad of the Arts.

He has enjoyed a prolific career on stage, television and commercials. He starred with Pat Suzuki in the revival of Flower Drum Song; appeared on television's Trapper John, M.D., and General Hospital; and in national commercials. In addition to teaching and performing, Gong is an active community leader, and has served on a number of community organizations, including the California Talent Competition, Association of Asian Pacific American Artists and Peninsula Community Foundation. He has been honored by the Chinese Historical Society of America and included in historian Connie Young Yu's Profiles in Excellence: Chinese Americans. The Bay Area Critics Association and Dean Goodman Awards have recognized his choreography. Gong holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from Stanford University.

11:38 am - dance updates and other things
|
Last night wasn't a full company rehearsal, but any tappers who wanted to do Singin' in the Rain, or any dancers who wanted to do Heard it Through the Grapevine were invited. I went for the two and a half hours, and we learned part of SitR and all of HiTtG. The only question left now: how does one make a raisin costume?
(Yes, we're doing a California Raisin dance. And Andie-boo, Nicki, I'm auditioning for the My Humps number after break. ^^; Of all the odd things...)
One thing I was not doing yesterday, was decorating RJJT's lobby for Oklahoma. Jen S and one of the moms went and usurped mine and Robin's job because Kevin is a forgetful idiot who gives his precious Jen everything. This stings for three reasons: one, this mom told Robin earlier she didn't want to do lobby 'cause she only wanted to work with Jen, and was told then this was Robin's responsibility; two, Jen breaks all the rules left and right to the point it's actually started bothering Kevin and he still won't do anything about it; and three, I'd already socked a lot of time and money into our decorating scheme, darn it. Kevin better count himself lucky I'd only done half the shopping when I heard Jen and the mom had informed him they were doing the lobby. (And he takes that being ordered around! IDIOT!) :/
Grr. Anyways going to Grass Valley on Monday and not coming back until Friday/Saturday. Cell phone still dead and not replaced yet. Getting new tires today. Foothill Dance Show's on June 2&3 - soon you can get tickets from me for $15, which is $10 cheaper than buying them at the show.

11:37 am - quiz from kim

The Five Love LanguagesMy primary love languages are probably
Physical Touch and Words of Affirmation.
Complete set of results| Physical Touch: | | 9 | | Words of Affirmation: | | 9 | | Quality Time: | | 5 | | Acts of Service: | | 4 | | Receiving Gifts: | | 3 |
Information Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
Take the quiz

Happy news of the moment - Layne got to go home from the hospital, they got him through the Encephalitis, yay. ^^ (And if you are like me and have no idea what that is, go here: http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/encephalitis.html )
Grandma Dottie's allergy problem was figured out and she was released from the hospital, too. And Grandma Joan didn't have to stay longer than overnight for stiches from her second fall down the stairs - maybe now that she's had a huge amount of stitches while she still had a broken wrist Shawn and Colleen just might finally consider moving her downstairs. :( Grr at aunt and uncle.
Not so happy news - the water heater stopped working; we have to replace it. So now I have no heating in my room and no hot showers to warm me up. The plus side of this is that my hair gets washed much faster with much less water. But sponge baths are cold. :( Brr.
News of the 'meh' sort - the Comcast modem is screwing with us again, so some days the internet is lost to our house. Our family computer 'Fuoco' has just been fixed; here's to hoping it doesn't completely crash AGAIN, or at least not anytime soon because we're getting sick of reconstructing shit just in time for it to go boom. And also let's hope we don't have to trade for a new modem at Comcast again, either. Didn't we just do that a few months ago? Urgh.
Not dead yet, though there are times I want to shoot myself.

3:59 pm - CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!! and the extreme suckage of HP3
|
Short of going back and redoing the whole movie, there is only one thing that could fix it:
EAT HARRY, MR. DRAGON. EAT HARRY.
Holy CRAP that sucked! I'm not even talking about what they cut out for time, though that might have been done a bit better. And there were a few cute moments, I'll grant. But augh!
I might've been able to live without the quidditch world cup *shakes fist* >:(, but what was with leaving out important plot points? Such as 'Constant vigilance'? Not said once to my recollection. And Harry is supposed to be able to throw off the Imperious curse, and not, say, BOW TO VOLDEMORT. WHO ALSO SUCKS.
Here is me. 'Yay we get to see Voldemort I wonder what the character design will look like oh this is so cool - what is that?'
Several moments later. 'WTF IS THIS?!?!? THIS SUCKS!!!!! HE SOUNDS LIKE PETER MOSTKOFF!!'
Could he sound more bored/boring? 'Course he might've; I'm not sure I THINK I FELL ASLEEP.
Constant vigilance, had it been used by the brain-deprived editing crew, just might have helped this pathetic money waster. MIGHT HAVE.
Eight dollars wasted. EIGHT DOLLARS. >:( This was worse than the third movie, and I hadn't thought that possible. Someone shall PAY.

10:43 pm - ah, the written word(s)
|
I'm tidying my room after the work/holiday chaos, and I just came across an old envelope from my cousin Brenna. It was a reply to a really wonky email I sent her, if I recall correctly...
Anyway, she didn't even bother with a full letter. She just sent me an envelope with the words 'YOU WEIRDO' written inside.
Why yes, I am. Though I guess it runs in the family, huh? ^^;

4:17 pm - the happy couldn't last one day
|
Dammit. I went out by myself this morning because mom had a doctor's appoinment.
She's now being put on a steroid medication of some sort (causes bad reactions in our family) and an antibiotic that is 30% related to penicillin (which we are hella allergic to). Dr. Jim has thought this through, because: she has a sinus infection, and what we didn't know is that with her anemia an infection could cause her body to stop producing blood altogether.
She could use some prayer.
