so i thought _transformers_ was pretty good. i mean, it wasn't deep or anything, but i enjoyed it. the two and a half hours flew by, and i was mesmerized by all the transforming goodness. the moment i heard optimus prime's voice (they used the same voice actor as in the cartoons!), i was taken back to my childhood's years. oh, and i got my favorite seat in the theater, too, the right aisle. that seat's the best because there's no one to my right, so i was free to tic and not have to worry about losing my glasses if they flew off my face.
afterwards, though, i got hit with a massive bout of insomnia. i still couldn't sleep by the time it hit 3am, and that's when i had to take some xanax to knock me out. ouch. it hurt to get up this morning.
my morning dumps are all about gravity. in bed, i can fart without soiling myself, but the moment i stand up, i can feel all the liquid in my bowels settling down and rushing toward my sphincter. yeah, remember when i said that i was having solid dumps? that's no longer the case. all of my shits are now liquid. it sucks. i think my body's not retaining any water or something.
my dad's coming into town tonight. his flight's getting in about 9pm, and he's leaving the house tomorrow around 9am. that means i won't get to do much with him, maybe an early breakfast or something. sigh. maybe we'll just have time to have a quick walk/smoke together tonight. it's ok, though, because i'll get to see my whole family in a few weeks when i fly to taiwan.
i'm sort of jealous of the bowling gang, because most of them have their parents nearby. i wish i got to see my parents more often. i wasn't really into my family in years past, but i think we got closer in the past few years. i guess i realized that i won't have them around forever, and that made me feel like i should appreciate them more. i call my mom every weekend (using skype), and as long as she doesn't preach the gospel to me, i enjoy our talks. the family member who i feel most distant from is my little brother. we never talk, and that makes me sad. i see so many people who are close to their siblings, and i just wish i had that. my bro and i are 10 years apart, so we never really got to know each other growing up. i guess there's time to mend that, but neither of us have taken that first step.
at greg's bbq on the 4th, aimee took one look at this dude's tongue and could tell that he had trouble sleeping. maybe i should have her take a look at mine and see if she can make the same diagnosis. i wonder what her treatment would be. i'd love to get a permanent fix to my insomnia so i can get off of two of my drugs. i wonder what all my pills are doing to my body, side effect-wise. it can't be a good thing to be permanently medicated.
i popped a boner during lunch, while we were sitting down at e-noodle. believe me, sex was the last thing on my mind. hm. maybe dumplings are some sort of aphrodisiac for me?
ok. that's it for me this week. gonna get a massage today. my tics have gotten worse, so my neck and shoulders are killing me. have a STUPENDOUS weekend folks!
