assorted things
Sore shoulder today from a tetanus shot, which I was about due for anyway; but all my forms have been submitted and now I just need to wait on the results of my polio titre (the school requires proof of three vaccination doses and I've only got proof of one, seeing as it was over thirty years ago). Eh, if I have to get immunized against polio again, that's not a horrible thing, just a pain in the ass. (Er. I hope not literally.) Otherwise, pending the results of my blood test--I'm curious about my glucose levels now that dad has been confirmed with diabetes, though I don't eat nearly the amount of sugar that he did--I seem to be pretty healthy, and the scale confirmed that I have lost a few pounds since the last time I stepped on one (whee!). Not that it would hurt to lose, like, 25 more, but since I fail at summer exercise (too hot during the day, and despite efforts over the last few weeks, I fail at waking up early), it'll have to wait until I'm on a regular school schedule. At least my apartment has a shiny new gym.

Tonight I'm taking my cousin to a movie, and sadly, because he's 19, he wants to see Year One. Ugh. I'd rather see Transformers, honestly (and I never saw the first one), but it'll only be a couple hours out of my life, right? Right?

The doctor told me that the reason Brenda's cat on The Closer was put to sleep in the last episode was because the real life cat did get sick, and the writers decided to write it into the show rather than trying to find another cat. It has since passed away. AW.

Things I am allowed to buy for myself before I leave town: anything involving hanging out with friends (play tickets, movie tickets, dinner, drinks, etc.); other forms of entertainment, within limits (books, Farscape S2, the Michael Jackson Essential Collection--just no going overboard); anything to do with packing (bleah).

Things I am not allowed to buy for myself before I leave town: knitting supplies, beading supplies, frames for unframed art and/or new art (well, maybe one frame, but only if I can find my discount coupon), big ticket items. In other words, stop drooling over espresso machines on Ebay, damnit.

Ode
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities.
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion our empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.


We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth.
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

--Arthur O'Shaughnessy
